This thread right here is the reason for your lambo you'll weep thinking about this very moment and your crypto success

haha.... don't crash it please. *nervous laughter intensifies*

~0.0001 USD per sia or so?
I wish I had heard of sia before or else I would have bought even more at a much lower price.

Is this on yobit?

No.

good feeling about this thread and siacoin
thanks OP

How is this different from maidsafecoin? Aren't they direct competitors?

There is a comparison of Siacoin, Storjcoin and Maidsafecoin here forum.sia.tech/topic/21/sia-vs-storj-vs-maidsafe

thanks user, very informative stuff. I'm a little hesitant though because that post is 2 years old. Maidsafe is worth more than Sia so even if Sia is better tech, it might lose out just due to popularity. I'm pretty torn, but I definitely want to get in on decentralized storage.

This.

Unfortunately marketing does seem to win in the end. The same thing is happening right now with SNGLS (no product released, great marketing) and LBRY (nice usuable product, no marketing). SNGLS is dominating the decentralized "Youtube/Bitorrent" market, yet has nothing backing it up except slick advertising.

SIAcoin is shit, because unlike storj, which is actually usable, SIA wallet keeps crashing despite me having 8 GB of RAM and great tech specs. AVOID

Storj isn't decentralized.

Maidsafe offers a new internet along with storage. Essentially, it offers the moon and a side bonus of decentralized storage, while sia just offers only decentralized storage.
Because of this, people get eyes bigger than their stomach that maidsafe as a dark horse that will change everything, while sia keeps their eyes on the prize regarding the future. They won't change everything, but what they will change will be accomplished.
>Maidsafe is worth more than Sia so even if Sia is better tech, it might lose out just due to popularity.
Sia isn't concerned about marketting. The devs have said that they only care about 'creating a good product, and that will market itself'. A year ago, it had no marketting, then China fell in love and it blew up. Even the monero devs like sia.

Martetting helps get those easy millions, but not the moon or future.

great response user, I hope it is Sia that wins in the end because I can buy more of it. decentralized storage could be huge, feels good to get in relatively early.

have you had any problems with the wallet like this guy?

>Sia isn't concerned about marketting. The devs have said that they only care about 'creating a good product, and that will market itself'.

Well, their product is shit then. STORJ is better in literally every way. Fuck SIA.

lol who the fuck cares, it at least works. Decentrilisation is not some panacea that has to be applicable everywhere. Stop meming. SIA fucks can't even handle their client properly, it keeps crashing and running out of memory.

do you really think people wont care about decentralization when it comes to storage?

I'm confused, I just googled storj and their tagline is "decentralized storage". Isn't that the entire point of using a crypto platform for file storage? Its literally the only thing that makes it desirable compared to all the other cloud storage out there

Yeah, sia has some wallet UI problem regarding its syncing that takes a lot of RAM but it'll be fixed soon enough.
But once you have your wallet sync up to the blockchain, it automatically opens. It's just a real bitch to wait forever.

>STORJ is better in literally every way. Fuck SIA.
kek

>lol who cares
Easier tech doesn't make it competitive or better than Amazon S3. Lower price. Better security. Better tech.

They're not decentralized at all. They operate using a bridge that runs under their servers. So if they decide to cash out all their coins (45 million out of 5 million of the market) Storj will die. But sia has no such luxury. Even if the sia devs quit, your files will still exist on the network.

STORJ is decentrilised.

Storj - Decentralized Cloud Storage
storj.io/
Distributed, encrypted, and blazing fast object storage, where only you have access to your data.

> Its literally the only thing that makes it desirable compared to all the other cloud storage out there

Well yeah and the fact that it is encrypted and you can store anything, so all the CP guys will happily and safely store their stash on a decentrilised network.

BURST>sia

Wow, storj says they're decentralized, that must mean it is!

If its just the blockchain sync that is problematic then that's not a big deal.

You've definitely got me leaning towards Sia, it certainly seems to be the better product, but what is really enticing me is that sweet sweet pumpable low price

it's no exponential, it's a 89° ramp, holy shit

...

Once everyone starts to wake up to Sia they will see that it is such a bargain at $0.0025 compared to Golem ($0.25) and buy the shit out of it.

I'm probably going to throw up in a year when I look at my sell order of 45 million Sia at 95 sat...

I can't believe it.

I only bought $100 but for once I'm sitting in the rocket, rather than chasing after it in a catapult.

Bless you OP. I guess it's not all shills and jews after all.

I'm personally losing my mind.
I want to sell so goddamn bad.

Last year, we went from 1 million marketcap to a shift of a pump every week. Now we're just mooning in one go. It's ridiculous.

Am i an idiot to buy in now?

It'll probably dip. Then again, who knows.

>Even if the sia devs quit, your files will still exist on the network.

yeah but lets be honest for a second: sia would become worthless and die too if the devs quit

At this point, yeah, but they want to get to the point where if they left, and some other dev wanted to make their own ui or whatever, the files would still exist.

Siacoin is one of the few coins here that has real potential. I wanted to use it for one of my projects, but the true limit is the filesize limit. Once they get it down to 100kb then it'll moon.

just gonna leave this here

picked up some SC along with XBY for the decentralized storage angle - what I like about it is the straightforward goal. there are other projects which seem as though they could eventually encompass storage, but being more ambitious i reckon they have a good chance of being beaten to the punch, thinking dropbox vs every other cunts cloud storage.

whether or not the storage thing takes off at all i'm pretty skeptical, to a normal human the icloud is never going to lose or give away THEIR data anyway, they're not a celebrity or taking sex pictures with celebrities so of course no reason for concern. for any non microscopic business connection speed is probably where the apparent bottleneck is at, so I don't see it being a dead simple switch there either.

the major benefits could still suit many, i think they're straightforward and sound
>security
>privacy
>cost

i just don't think the need is as forced as say something like golem, where supercomputing is not included free with fucken everything you buy or join.

where can you buy sia?

polo

Yeah they're working on making smaller files rush faster. Right now, anything over 4MB runs pretty well, but it's the smaller files that need work.

What about Burst? Does it hold up against Sia? Adam Guerbuez (one of the biggest names around) seems to be supporting Burst.

so what you're saying is, invest 5btc in sc?

looking at the roadmap:

trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-public-roadmap

I think they will accidentally tap into a new market that wasnt possible before. instead of file SHARING like utorrent, siacoin may be the first to make file SELLING viable. there would be websites like thepiratebay except a small amount of SC would be used as payment for bandwidth and storage to hosts. you could make lots more files accessible (and impossible to remove) by having hosts that seed files professionally.

Yep. A lot of people are exciting for this because this might be a step beyond torrents.

It keeps climbing. Jesus.

I dumped all of my ripple and bought right before the climb, feels fucking good man sittin on 1.8 million here

*gulp*

the massive dump will be very fun

yeah i will buy more if its below 100 sat but ive got just the right amount so that i can hold and not panic buy/sell

very fucking interesting point, those fuckers selling VCDs may again be back in business with a fresh vector to compete, as well as sharing sites getting necked by ad blockers, and file hosts getting house arrested in new zealand.

Large buy support, though who knows how long that'll last. I'm surprised there hasn't been a dump. The fact that there's so little sell (600 mill on polo out of fucking 25 billion) puts me on edge.
