Why are people panicking? You know that we are currently dealing with BTC forks.

Minebox is not an ASIC or "mining" gear. It is a Network Attached Storage that automatically backsup your data to the Sia network, and the remaining storage is offered to host other's data, getting some SC. You will get some SC, but I don't think you'll ever make ROI with it, specially as the 16TB version you are checking is overpriced in my opinion. It is however an excellent solution for people that have a huge amount of data to save and don't have already a NAS at home.

If you are only interested on the profits, its is still possible to make ROI of your disks if you assemble your own hosting computer, but definitely not with Minebox.

If you are interested on ASICs, there is one being developed right now: https://obelisk.tech/

Thank you for such detailed information, you provide great info and give positive support to Sia holders, I also believe that Sia and wish all the best to it. And the website you created is very cool, I was impressed to see such job from a fan.

Thanks a lot. It is my pleasure servicing the community

that was top secret insider info now we will fly to 300x500 #why did you do that? weeee

Sia is the most underestimated project of recent growth on the btc, still scrubbing the bottom. It's sad, I just hope the whales will not sell off the price increase ...

I think we will see 100 satoshi in October

[DOGG]

Thanks guys, will look into Bittrex.

I trade there myself. But coingate now does fiat to sc and vice versa.

Is there any real world application or is this still just an idea?

The network has been around for ages. A new version will come out soon. They've sold 2100+ preorders for a specialised ASIC miners at 2500 USD each.

Check siastats.info for all kinds of stats

Is it possible to earn SIA by sharing diskspace to the network?

[steinkopf]

Thank you for such detailed information, you provide great info and give positive support to Sia holders, I also believe that Sia and wish all the best to it. And the website you created is very cool, I was impressed to see such job from a fan.

Well there is nothing to thank me for, as I think every project wishes to have such as talented members like you, they are lucky to have you

Is it possible to earn SIA by sharing diskspace to the network?

Yes, but you can’t make sc by renting out 100 GB on a pc that’s on and off. There is an algorithm that lets renters know how stable your equipment is (online time), and penalty for low available disk space.

So if I have a VPS with 1TB I could make some money? Or isn't it worth the trouble?

Siacoin is dead, no good

Never fear...... if Sia is dead (which I don't believe), Sia will be reborn. Count on it!!

[cyrixcer]

Siacoin is very strong and keep being top 100 since last year. I have bought siacoin at 20 sat and now I am still holding it, I hope I would earn more money if Sia has new releases, maybe next price will be 200 sat again.
