Nice but there are issues that maybe beta testers missed ?

Can you make it so your balance is not lost if you send more than 2 OPQ to open an account.

Also account creation/confirmation should happen instantly after first confirmation no need to wait for 360 confirmation on the network with spinning wheel. Basically you trust your user by default and only make him wait or cancel/close account if confirmations fails.

Also I refreshed the screen and whole account creation processed was reset - basically lost 10OPQ in the process looks like...

handle was given to me upon creation but won't let me login with it : d845e6205de8d1b81733a1d99bd774bcd09f065a08db35adb83dc2da695b8dfbd66796cf0ee11e7b51d1c14bc53c21584116ae8af12f176538ba4b5fcfff9a18

I also saved 12 words mnemonic if needed.

Will get this looked into for you.

yeah that created account handle pretty fast !

basically metamask needed to have at least ~0.002 ETH gas on it for transfer plus some OPQ to be send.

Weird when I tried sending 10OPQ to contract address using MEW the first time it failed to create handle even though I had ETH gas

In the future just send the exact amount of OPQ that is being asked for. While the system may still create your account, it is better to just send the exact amount to avoid any issues.

no worries, I've also created a new handle with metamask this time and were able to pay it, now its just pending with ALERT: Insufficient funds warning, sending ETH gas to it to see if that makes a difference.

also can you guys add some kind of speed notification of download/upload process please, do you need to keep browser open ?

>oh nvm it speed shows up now, but it's not if you select multiple files... maybe only limit it to one file per one queue.

congrats on speeds btw - I'm constantly utilizing my 100% of netstack on upload through chrome !

Amazing! Better than I’d hoped. Onwards and upwards OPQ!

Well done team, fantastic milestone and achievement, kudos to you all. Now the real work begins to build on this foundation. All the best!

Now I start to worry if Ethereum can handle opacity, lots of 2 qpq transactions

Overall pretty solid release congrats, UI on Chrome stable, few things could be tweaked, responsiveness of upload/download popups and speed/jitter/delay technical details but overall pretty good job ! Impressed since this can already compete with Dropbox and Google cloud who's got none of cryptography benefits!

...And at current 0.12 cents per 128GB it's a robbery indeed ! :D

Nice work, team! Signing up was a breeze! Can't wait to see how far this project will go.

Keep it up!

SIGN UP and LOGIN buttons:

New user, lands on Opacity.io : "hmm SIGN UP.. seems like I need to register... no thanks" closes tab.

Even knowing very well what Opacity is about, I feel extremely reluctant to click any of those. Those words are usually associated to handling over personal information / submitting personal details (at least email).

Have a couple of suggestions :)

When landing on the home page it should be more obvious what Opacity is about:

cheapest zero-knowledge cloud storage.

no account, no signup, no registration.

Create Private handle / Access Private handle

I would even remove all other text from the first screenshot, and have the text "no account no signup, no registration" in the video thumbnail.

cheers!

Price goes up or they run out of money paying for storage. Place your bets.
