[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[rotzbouf]

I guess the biggest concern users have with this technology is that they do not have any control of what can be stored on their drive. I really like the idea behind this storage tech, but I am personnally also concerned about the stuff saved on my shared drive. Maybe the devs should focus a bit on this to find proper solution, then the community will accepts this tech much more and also start more to use it. Which will bring again more value to the coin and of course make the difference from other similar techs.
Just my 2 cents

may be sia need work hard to catch up storj.

It seems many people are interested in the comparison of Sia and Storj. I don't think Sia looks Storj as a competitor. Sia only looks the centralized clouds as the competitors such as Amazon S3. The goal of Sia is to over take Amazon S3.

If you really want to compare these two projects, the best way to do so is to check their github activities and run these two softwares to figure it out yourselves.

If you don't know how to check the github activities and you are too lazy to run the softwares you have to rely on other people's opinions. But you still can choose to rely on some reliable sources with data and facts which other people have aggregated. You need data and facts, not just words. Here are some reliable sources for you to refer to:

https://www.coingecko.com/en (projects ranking and pay attention to the Delevoper column)

www.coinmarketcap.com (marketcap ranking)

https://thecontrol.co/meet-sia-a-user-owned-amazon-s3-challenger-that-lets-you-rent-out-your-extra-disk-space-fa9da6ff9223#.9mrlonvf7 (in the middle of this article, there is a nice graph with data to compare Sia, storj, and maidsafe)

Thanks for the info.

no way - too comlicated

i would throw a bounty out for some n00b guides !
no offense but if this should go any way near mainstream - u gotta support the mainstream and they are on Mac and PC

anither coin far from complete and way behind in demand since the flop..there is onky more sia to sell...this selling pressure is getting ridiculus....except if  someone is buying 1 million dollar of sia in 1 second, i don't see when i'll be able to profit my investm..ent (i n a year frame) (its very long for the crypto world) lol btc will be 2200 usd then and sia will be 10 satoshi before going to moon its a shame i had alot of hope in sia but he is just doing like every other alt ........crashing like a plane
 i'm going to loss my btc and the profit i woul have make so in total sia has to go nut if i ever hope to do has much profit as if i would have let my btc be and do nothing except of tchecking every now and then for develepeement and hype and fud and all the stress around...

even better if i would just have lend btc...

My point is why buy sia when everyone is doing way more money by tchilling with btc....(now you get why the price go down down down) witout mentining this atrocious big number of avaible supply + supply own by ppl...


anyway just anither bad thousand $ call i guess i will survive... but my hope  in all alt are now dead lol those 5 month have just too much too handle... you guys don't come near the ankle of btc when compared at a profit potential level. Sia and all alt goings to bye bye (2% lucky winner 98% losser)

[Taek]

Definitely. If you download the most  recent release (http://sia.tech/apps/) you can become a host on the graphical app. You'll need to have 50k SC to get started with hosting.
