Storj is a platform, cryptocurrency, and suite of decentralized applications that allows you to store data in a secure and decentralized manner. Your files are encrypted, shredded into little pieces called 'shards', and stored in a decentralized network of computers around the globe. No one but you has a complete copy of your file, not even in an ecrypted form.

## To start using Storj
See our documentation at [storj docs](https://docs.storj.io/docs).
## To start developing storj
The [community site](https://storj.io/community.html) hosts all information about
building storj from source, how to contribute code
and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build storj right away there are two options:
##### You have a working [Go environment](https://golang.org/doc/install).
```
$ go get -d storj.io/storj
$ cd $GOPATH/src/storj.io/storj
$ make
```
##### You have a working [Docker environment](https://docs.docker.com/engine).
```
$ git clone https://github.com/storj/storj
$ cd storj
$ make docker
```
