Conspiracy theories have been proposed that NSA or CIA have access to much powerful QC tech than what is publicly disclosed, while it is disputable and controversial and one can ask that how far they can go, anyhow, in practice, they can't use their hypothetical "super power" against bitcoin even once, because by doing this, they will disclose their access to such a technology and escalate competition and research for countermeasures.
Wow, this almost makes me want it to happen  lol! |

If you guys are holders, I recommend 3 things:
1. Download the Sia client, download the blockchain.
2. Become a host. Offer up storage to gain more Sia over time.
3. Become a renter. Actually use other hosts.
This network activity will attract other people, help your Sia rank, and cause this nice cycle to begin.
good point its really helpful not only to the project but also to the community if you gain more attraction it means you will gain more investors and more investors means more buyers and the value will start to rise up and its worth holding. I'm invested in SIA coins too, but I'm afraid my slow internet connection will be used up, if I offer rental space. I only have ~1 Mbit/s upload. SIA is one of few coins with a real working project behind them, that will drive the value of the coin even more. Your slow internet connection is actually fine. Offer small file contracts.  |

Some people believe that none of these marijuana coins will actually be used in markets much. "stoners don't use crypto" and such things. I like dopecoin, a good vision. One of the closer ones to actually being used. It has a small coin supply so I invested when it was 150 sats. Too bad I sold most of it during the last small pump to invest in others. Dope coin is a good long hold, it could go to many 1000s of sats. The marijuana market is specific but huge and growing to the trillions, and the banks don't want to accept their drug money (only the pharma money), so it makes sense for crypto to be involved. Thing is I think people treat all the weed coins as pump and dump. It will take some time, maybe years before crypto is really accepted in the weed industry. Or maybe people are starting to realize dopecoin is going places and starting to invest for the long haul.
The idea of a dildocoin to use for the dildo market is old, and failed many times already with Sexcoin and many others that served only for pump and dump. People won't use Marijuana or Dope or whatever coin to actually buy drugs and other things, they will use the most stabilized cryptos or any other form of money. Use drug coins would be a flag, in fact. Totally right. The only use I see for Dopecoin/Potcoin/whatever is they can act as trusted sidechains, so faster transactions. |

I think siacoin is one of those projects which will surely go up in coming years without any doubt. It's a decentralized cloud storage project. I think siacoin price will surely go up in 1 -2 years so you should hold siacoin for atleast couple of years.
The cool thing is it will go up in 1-2 years, but by how much is up to the people. We've already seen Sia at 800+ satoshi just 3 months ago. In 2 years I hope to see 4000 satoshi |

IOTA and Byteball use the same technology. "The tangle" is just a marketing device. There are major issues with these blockless coins. Byteball is acknowledging the issues while IOTA is apparently not. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2050474.msg20432209#msg20432209@White sugar: users can double spend and do all sorts of bad things, but the network corrects itself over time, based on probabilities. If someone has control of 51% of the network (actually I think think number is less), game over. |

Siacoin is worth the long term hold. In a year it should hit 600 sat at the least.

There was a lot of talk about Viacoin last week. After looking into it, I've unfortunately learned it's not innovative, and it's probably turned from what was supposed to be a legit project to a pump and dump coin. I got a lot of hate from my opinion but alas, a small price to pay. I hope you enjoy, leave feedback, and consider maybe joining my service...You'll be the first! http://currypto.club/hello-world/btc_via/all-aboard-viacoinTL;DR: Viacoin is NOT a scam, but a pump and dump coin. Not worth long term investment. If you enjoyed this, check out my other public articles, or consider joining to read more content and support me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2050474.msg20432209#msg20432209https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047973.msg20407368#msg20407368I am working hard to support myself on cryptocurrency, and use my computer science knowledge to give something useful to the world. Please leave feedback as well, even if it's just "this is shit" or "good article". It means a lot to me. What mystery coin should I look into next? |

As others have said, the price of SC does not affect the price of storage. Hosts will adjust their SC prices in accordance with their value. Sia is going to give me and others like me an early retirement. Can't wait to see a huge company like Amazon or Google make use of Sia. Then kaboom, see you on Mars. Honestly though the technology is great, I could talk about it all day. In fact, if you sign up to be the first member of my service, you can read about it *nudge nudge* |

Sia, and Ethereum. 1. They have 1 clear goal each. Sia for TRUE decentralized storage, and Ethereum for TRUE decentralized virtual machine. Both have achieved their goals already. 2. Solid development teams. Go look at their commit history; go look at their writeups; go talk with them on their Slack. Real. I will not be surprised to see more Ethereum chains starting up in the future, just for the sake of having smaller chains. Ethereum itself is going to reach $1000 per coin one day, you can guarantee it. The technology is next-level. Sia is the best, most efficient and truest to decentralized storage. Already there are a couple companies that have their backends hooked up to the Sia network. Sia is young and still surprised it is at the price it is at (1 cent per coin). I guess I shouldn't be though. There are something like 23 billion coins. If you hold 5 million Sia, you will be a millionaire once it hits 25 cents. 10 million Sia, only needs to hit 12 cents. I'm not sure why "Waves" is suggested. I have looked into it but not extensively - doesn't look like a good technology. I'm on the lookout for other revolutionary techs like these. So far nothing, but that may be because they cover the 2 important aspects of computers: storage and computation. What else could you make that can't be generalized to these? Of course there is Bitcoin for currency, but we already know it's going to keep rising The important question to ask is, are we missing anything? storage, computation, currency...Even then, 'currency' logic can be generalized to computation (Ethereum), which surprise, already has a ton of coins built on top of it. Maybe we need to differentiate between long and short term storage, and computation? I think coloredcoins/ERC20/Bitcoin 2.0 tokens are going to become the next surge of investing. I am even creating my own coloredcoin for my information service, as a way to generate investors but give something back - tokens that allow them to have lifetime access to my service. These tokens can be traded amongst users for whatever price they see fit. If I sell for an initial $100 a coin, I can see them trading for $200, since there will be a limited supply. If you don't have a special token, you have to pay $10 a month (in any cryptocurrency you want though) to access the service (which is more than fair). What I'm saying is, maybe you, or we, should stop looking at altcoins and look at colored/ERC20 coins now. Or not...10 years is a long time. |

VIA is truly scam dont buy and dont think about VIAcoin because it is purely premined and i can not see the future
It's not even about premining (which I didn't even know about - damn that sucks )...it's that it's technologically the EXACT SAME as Bitcoin. Via is like Litecoin, except with a different name and way less popular. And even now Via is falling after a "huge" announcement. Textbook pump-and-dump, it really is. Why would people dump if they believe in such a technology? |

I think the best strategy by far is to find good projects and invest in them for the long haul.
Agree? Disagree?
Agree. In my opinion, there are about max 20 projects in cryptoworld, which are longterm trustable, because they had a proper development in the last years and a tough and strong dev-team behind. Sia is one of them. I trust them with my eyes closed. Doesn't mean, that I don't look out for a project, which can compete and outstrip Sia - because this could be always a good reason, that a formerly good coin will be kicked out of the race - but: If the development will go on further like in the last years, Sia is good for midterm to longterm holding at least. Less risky than a lot of other coins. But with the new altcoin just starting growth as Siacoin, why need Asic mining very soon as at now? We also know Asic with altcoin is death time and the value of this coin after this happens will stand still in long time or falldown. The ASICs are to protect the network and make mining fair and decentralized. (This is a discussed a couple places, give 'er a Google ) |

Will SIA get a new wallet any time soon? The current one really sucks balls.
How do you suggest it to not suck balls?  |

Currypto you must bought at the top and panic sell during the global market crash in the past few weeks and that is because you are being such a hater saying no-sense things.. That or you are an useless programmer and you are going vs Romano BTW VIA went from ~40k to ~52-53k and now is around ~50k. Its not bad and more pumps are coming for sure. Have a good day No, I have not bought Via. And it is now 44k. Told you so : That was the new commit from the new developer because he started a new branch after he took over. If you would know how to read it you would see that the project has commits dating back to 2014.
Yes those commits are from Bitcoin Core. Show me otherwise. Branches do not suddenly change dates. Man it's insane how everyone is panicking without providing proof of what they are saying, while I am. Calling me a liar, stupid, mocking me...haha - it will not change what Via is. |

Even now we see this Segwit activation pump falling.
sad where you draw your self-recognition from. You gonna repeat those posts know everytime VIA goes down 10%? And then remain silent when it goes up again? It has gone from 40k to 51k, caused by the segwit activation news. We will see what happens tomorrow. It is a pump and dump coin...and the pump just happened, so I don't expect to see too much. |

- VIA coin one year old - man, your own link proves you wrong, go start learning to read github
https://github.com/viacoin/viacoin/commit/9170045447642850a819d97b5d1728dca1ba86c0What is the date you see here? I'm seeing Sept 17 2016. It is not even 1 year old. Now please go be useful somewhere else. VIA a clone of Bitcoin: Of course it is. Nearly every coin out there is (Dash, Stratis, Litecoins, Digibyte, Syscoin, and the list goes on and on - is a clone of bitcoin
Do you see me talking good about those coins? Nope! |

I think the problem with a lot of coins is that they simply change a bit and say they need to be in existence. I really like truly revolutionary coins like ethereum monero or IOTA. They do something really new
Yes exactly. Ethereum and Monero and IOTA are significantly different (although I have more hope in Byteball than IOTA's implementation) from Bitcoin...unlike VIA in this case. That is why they are worth so much, because they actually offer something new and not just a simple fork. Can't wait to see VIA fall in the next week and say "told you so". Well via is pretty unique it's 25x faster then bitcoin it uses merged mining it will support segwit and lightning network and will be anonymous when styx is implemented there are also rumours it will have tumblebit and masternodes. So can you tell me one coin that will have all these? Via is 25x faster? You've got the numbers and citations to back that shit up? Because it's bullshit. Lets see Via have the same number of transactions and infrastructure. It will perform the exact same as Bitcoin because the dev as made no changes regarding transaction speed! I know, I've looked at the commits! And what do you know, Bitcoin is using Segwit too! Guess what? Via is actually just using Bitcoin's Segwit code! Lightning networks are coming too, what's your point?? Via will use Bitcoin's lightning network code too! Styx is an eternity away. It is just a "goal", there has been zero work done for it. I am not saying "dump your Via!!", I'm saying Via is literally a Bitcoin clone and offers nothing new. You are free to use the Via fork...but technologically it is inferior since it has to keep up with merging code changes from Bitcoin Core. |
