I don't know the Storj project or this situation well, but the timeline of events I've gathered from reading those reddit comments is:
- You acquired some "pre-mine" tokens (apparently with no vesting)
- You pre-sold those tokens before the fundraiser
- You quit the company shortly after
- You then proceeded to slander the company on Reddit (something something "radical transparency")
- You then forked the company's project and started calling it your own. But it's not "competing" because you're using a 501c3 tied to an unrelated hackerspace in Georgia as an umbrella for its fundraising (possibly risking its tax-exempt status).
I think this is a fair question to ask given the circumstances: Is your goal here to create a great open source project, or to damage Storj?
