Does anyone know the difference between this and TahoLAFS? Almost sounds the same.

CTO here! We took a lot of inspiration on our latest design from Tahoe LAFS. Big fans. Main difference as I see it is Tahoe isn't as focused on producing a full storage ecosystem (storage node operators, etc), but we do share lots of similar points technically! Encryption, Reed Solomon, etc. Zooko's zfec Reed Solomon library influenced our usage of Reed Solomon for sure.

Storj is going to be a lot more tried and battle tested than TahoLAFS. If you need to reliable store files under a strong encryption, I'd use storj.
