[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Namiks]

Any new news on Sia? Can you also stake sia in the wallet?!  

Proof-of-Stake kinda defeats the purpose of creating a currency that is supposed to be used.

If everyone is too busy staking and trying to create more Sia, less people are actually using the coin's features (file hosting).

SIA is super under the radars now* it should head back up to 300x500 satoshi range ..i keep hearing good things sia lucky weeee

Constantly linking exchanges to every poster is only going to put people off of investing.

Do you guys know a way to make the windows client sync faster? Maybe I'm missing an update or maybe I can make it accept more connections? I don't open my wallet that often but let it sync every now and then.

i'm hearing SIA is the most likely to explode lotto pick weeeee

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_sc

Well I think Poloniex will explode before SIA will. People still using Poloniex?

" a future where even massive services such as Netflix and YouTube will use Sia to
deliver the best user experience to their customers" great ambitions!

Check either on the Discord of Sia in the #siafunds channel for OTC trading or on Bisq (https://market.bisq.io/?market=sf_btc).They have been trading for 2-3BTC in the last months

Try with a manual download, AKA bootstrapping: https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain

Update from yesterday: https://blog.sia.tech/sia-community-update-october-ecf673f41e96 . As they have already answered you, Sia is not Proof of Stake, it is Proof of Work. More info about why here: https://siawiki.tech/about/pow_vs_pos

I downloaded the app and sent my coins to the address but I noticed this app is syncing, which can take a long time. So I tried to put myself in a casual user's perspective. Does the person trying to rent space have to also wait for the program to finish synching? And if yes, then I wish they had a way around this so that those people don't have to wait around for the sync to complete.

Yes, you need to wait the blockchain to sync or otherwise the siacoins you transfer for renting storage space will not show up in your balance.

And yes, there is a way around: try with a manual download, AKA bootstrapping https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain

You can easily buy Sia coin on exchanges? So far only Hitbtc and Poloniex offers the coin as far as I know.

You can also buy Sia Coin on Bittrex, what more do you want? Poloniex and Bittrex is all you can ask for, in my opinion.

Poloniex and bittrex are very good exchanges for sia to be listed on.

The best.

Does sia have a rest API for writing apps to interact with it?

How can a user see how much you've earned from SiaFunds?

Yes, Sia has APIs and they are awesome!: https://blog.sia.tech/api-quickstart-guide-f1d160c05235

To see how much you have earned so far, run a "wallet" command in the Terminal. Also, you can track how many dividends SFs are producing daily on https://siastats.info/siafunds.html

Look for ECC, it will be a competitor of SIA soon 

[xibeijan]

ECC is too late to the game.  Sia is already fully functional, on major exchanges and has tons of miners, disk leasers and users.

I've got 10 extra SiaFunds to sell.  PM me serious offers.

IANAL - anyone able to tell me if there is a potential problem brewing here
This patent sounds (to me) very similar to what SIA does.

No problem. Read up on 'prior art'

Prior art is any evidence that your invention is already known.

Prior art does not need to exist physically or be commercially available. It is enough that someone, somewhere, sometime previously has described or shown or made something that contains a use of technology that is very similar to your invention.

If anything, most of these commercial blockchain-based patent applications will likely be rejected due to the fact it is extremely difficult to describe a sufficiently unique technological innovation which hasn't already been discussed at some point in recent years, probably on this forum.
