one thing that really sucks is that you need atleast 50K siacoins to start renting out your disk space.

That is not correct. Currently the minimal is just 2000SC. It is called Collateral, and actually is one of the biggest advantages of Sia compared to the rest of the similar projects. Hosts offer a collateral as a guarantee that they will keep the files during the whole contract with an uptime of about 97%, or otherwise they will lose that collateral. If they are good hosts, all that collateral is recovered.

Without collateral, hosts could just drop the files without any penalty and use their HDDs for other purposes. So collateral is an essential component for making Sia trustless.

I don't think sia can grow up again in the near future.  Cry

Why do people keep coming into this thread with FUD, without doing any research? Sia can definitely grow in the future.

Yes is sickening its a bunch of kid cry babies who shouldn't be trading. They got $100 tied in and crying over it

Has the coin really been developed? Has it useful for community with Sia's services?

Yes, Sia is one of the few crypto projects that can brag it has a working product, and actually it has been working for the last 2 years. Currently the storage network is 3.3 Petabytes big with 100TB being used. You can download the client and start uploading your files or offering your some disk space and be paid for that. This chart shows the growth of the used storage network:



Which currency will be accepted during the ICO?

The ICO was over 3 years and half ago...  It was not for Siacoins, but for the second asset of the network, the SiaFunds. 1130 were sold at 0.5BTC ($192 at that time). Siacoins were never offered in an ICO: it is a mined coin, and developer team only pre-mined 100 blocks.

Does the team have experience in this sphere?

The co-founder worked for a while on IBM. All of them were MIT students. At this points all of them have experience on the field... because Sia is already a working product  Smiley

Holly cow, that's some impressive chart.

Will dig into SIA little more, looks good.

Thanks for sharing this.

Then leave this coin and stop complaining . Let us be exited about the bright future of sia . Price is down but developpement is up and sia's customers increase day by day

Edit that guy is a troll , new account with only complaints about Sia in his past messages .. He probably didn't even invest in siacoin Cheesy but in the competitor coins ..

Hope we'll see Sia Lite one day, there's a lot of people who'd want a simple wallet, no blockchain sync, no 16 hour waiting or crap like that.You open the wallet, you put the seed in, do a fast transaction and close the wallet within 1-2 minutes.

The team is fantastic! I trust these guys)

I agree and the team and supporters are great, the only thing is that the price is depressing and very undervalued... Really waiting that people will appreciate the real product and the price will reflect it.

Because nobody cares about decentralized storage.

Kind people, tell me, please. I forgot the password from my Siacoin wallet, I want to create a new one, but there is no such tab to create a new one, just open the wallet. I hope someone will understand my problem and help.

I am confident that this project will show results that will increase the price,  because there are other way more useless coins with high value.

Here's the best analysis of the p2p storage niche I've read so far...
Analyzing Filecoin, Swarm, Storj, SAFE and Sia.

They expect Filecoin to grab an 80% market share in 12-18 months...
But feel there will lots of room for small players to thrive.

Swarm will have the huge advantage of full Ethereum intgration...
Storj has many user friendly features...
Sia has many unique design features including PoW, but usability is an afterthought...
SAFE is written off as "in perpetual R&D".

and now, eos.io

And what about this one: https://oyster.ws/
Another storage coin?!

Storage coin will be a big thing but there is no good product out there. A very good network less expensive as Google or Amazon will be a big thing, no suprise for the amount ICO raised by concurrent. I'm looking for a long time with Siacoin hope it'll be brighter future.
