Great informational article on Verium and Vericoin. I used to hold VRC when it was tied to SUPERNET (it might still be, but mostly these days I read about it in connection to Verium). Now I finally understand better what is Verium; it is like a store of value paired with VRC.

I just wanted to make a correction in the first part of your post. Storj isn't the only coin that "mines" with your hard drive - Burst and Siacoin let you do that as well.
