[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Hakkane]

Sia Community is a Big Joke, look at voting for Binance.We have a chance to rise sia to top market coins  95k on twitter, 30k on reddit and what? 700 Votes.. There are coins i never heard about and we sitting on 8th place haha

Maybe this means that the biggest part of the community is either against the listing in Binance or just feels indifference towards them, and that is totally legit.

Binance is a exchange that extort developing teams asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars to be listed, play social tricks with communities making these pay-per-vote votings and asks you to pay exchange operation fees using their own token (WTF!) of which they control the supply and price. Besides it is a China-based exchange, and some of us feels that their costumer-protection laws are sub-standard compared with European laws, for example. Being China-based that also means they are subject to changes in their country-policies and could shut-down at any moment (just remember all the news, rumors and closed exchanges we had in China last years). So it is perfectly understandable many users don't trust in Binance or at last they don't feel enthusiastic.

Dev team is ok if they decide to list Siacoin, and are promoting people to vote, but obviously will not cow Siacoin users. They will work with exchanges only if they do fair play.

PR no exist,No news

That is because you are out of the loop. Try following their twitter or reading their blog: https://blog.sia.tech/ For instance, last month Sia was rebranded and today they have announced an IPO of SiaFunds (the second token of the network) for fundraising. Code improvements keep progressing and the other day they showed a video of the beta code downloading files at 60Mbps of average (https://twitter.com/SiaTechHQ/status/964608678035886082)

only two exchanges in game(rest is low volume)

Why more are needed?

Only binance can put that coin higher.

Why? And what's the benefit of short-term pumpings caused by listing in a new exchange without any support for the price in the long-term (aside from your individual economic benefits)? Technology first, then the profits to early investors will come naturally.

sia team not have 50 BTC to put in on Binance xD

They don't, because unlike all those shitcoins in your portfolio, Siacoin was never premined by the devs, so they don't have two-digit shares of the coins like other alts to sell them to exchanges and keep their scams going on

Let me be honest, a truly regret i invest in that coin. Just waiting for some waves and im gonna sell it seriously.
Right now its all joke about this coin.

OK. Cool. Just close the door behind you, please. It is cold outside...

BTW, I already mentioned it as part of the previous answer, but as this si a big announcement, it deserves its own post.



Nebulous (the company behind Sia) is making a Tokenized Securities Offering of 750 units of SiaFunds, the second token of the Sia network. You can quickly understand what a SiaFund is in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=ivPGc1N3w_8 This will raise funds to keep the Sia development.

The Offering will be open in a date to be determined in March to qualified investors of several countries. The selling scheme will be a Dutch auction, similar to the IPO of Google. This is a very unique opportunity, as only 10 000 SiaFunds exist and only 1250 were in circulation right now (sold during the original IPO 3 years ago). A 3.9% of all the file contract costs are paid as a dividend to the owners of SFs.

Binance  on the coveted currencies appeared. One of the voting items is SIA, which seems to me to be a very good building block for price and a larger HODLER base.

In this case, we need votes (0.1 BNB each):

https://www.binance.com/vote.html

Every miner or asic owner should vote on Binance for SiaCoin. This is a huge opportunity for Sia, another big exchange will boost price and also miner profit!

So go vote!

If every holder and asic buyer will vote will be an easy win!

That's under a dollar per vote. So that shouldn't be an excuse to anyone who has financial or any other interest in the network. But sometimes people are just too lazy to do the easiest things.

Yeah, if it gets listed on Binance the price probably pumps quite a bit, especially because it doesn't have a USD/USDT pair yet... similar to what happened (almost) with XRP.

Well I thinks is almost impossible to get voted, as WePower (WPR) is giving away free 0.1 BNC for voters and in case selected is airdrops 200 WPR aswell. And is currently leading the vote.
Maybe some other next rounds...

Wow, it seems that Sia project and its platform have got a lot of achievements two years after launch. More services, more organizations, more companies used Sia storage platform and support Sia; more chances to see significant movement of its price in the future. Nice works and great announcement, dev.

 This is huge news for Sia

[icosscam]

I missed some of the news regarding Bitman Sia ASICs. Is Sia modifying the code to block them, or are Obelisk owners now going to see lower returns due to Bitman beating to the finish line?

Sia is not modifying the code to block them, and decided they would only do so if ASIC decided to harm the network with say a 51% attack. So yes, this will mean lower rewards on the Obelisk.

I am 'mentally' preparing myself for my FIVE Obelisk SC-1's arriving in FULL DOORSTOP mode.

Thus, as a reminder, if that is the case, to leave them UNOPENED, in that the cardboard slides easier for doorstop use, if left in the cardboard box.

I DID however get ONE FREE Decred miner (2nd batch of those) for my FIVE $800 buck coupons. Someone much bigger than me, got 4 units with

those coupons and spot'd me the 800 bucks and last coupon for the free decred miner....(sorry, me of little faith I punted)

I was actually a nice guy and tried to talk him out of it..but he is a big miner and badly needed the equip write off...thus he 'tossed a hail mary pass'

Anyway, I guess it would be really, really hard for me NOT to ROI on that ONE decred unit..but as of now...how I'm looking at this somewhat in 20/20

hindsight 'dubious' investment...(oh well, got it when price of BTC was high, tax man would have gotten 50% last year and/or with 25% equipment

equipment deduction (5 year compressed to 1 year on taxes I paid last year in real $$$) ...so I really only have to have the FIVE units make 25% of

cost back, AFTER electric to call it a wash.....

but, still thinking doorstops for the Obelisk SC-1's with Bitmain's involvement...(it is how they roll...toaster city till your cypto is worthless vs difficulty)

(sorry, in a mood)

SC team not interested in higher SC coin price as it will do hard way to sell their storage as it will not be so attractive any more. I do not understand SC team at all with mining rigs. Why sell Obelisk and then joke in face of people who bought it and let market be overtaken with Bitmain. Difficulty of mining will become way to high for a Obelisk.

Its a BIG JOKE ! siacoin on POLONIEX is still Blocked to withdraw and received  since more than 1 month !

I decided to sell vs Bicoin and i sended my bitcoin on HITBTC platform an then now i can buy siacoin and withdraw without problems !!

I ADVISE PEOPLE WHO WANT SIACOIN TO USE HITBTH this platform work well for Siacoin .

I hope that will help many people !

Thank you see you soon .

Don't hesitate to asking if you have any question.

[gembitz]

I was reading the whitepaper and It seems to have an interesting business plan. It could be a good investiment!

this could still be true...but the sia-tech network can work just DANDY on Bitmain Units in mass (shipping now and in the world) and/or more in mass

(As is Bitmain's forte! Kicking them out like Toasters!)

Thus, sia-tech and its decentralized storage network could be quiet ROBUST w/o any of their Obelisk SC-1 products even being involved....only Bitmain

units by July...driving up difficulty etc....

so yeah, the protocol could be just fine....the folk that got the Obelisk SC-1 units...er not so much, by the time they actually ship..it could all be moot!

Siacoin is in the running to be listed on Binance as part of their 'community coin of the month'.

With all the news around Siafunds this is a great opportunity to expand Siacoin's exposure further by being listed on such a large exchange. I for one will be voting for Siacoin to be listed!

i also vote for SC on binance 

that would be a great success for Siacoin if binance listed the coin.
if binance doesnt add SC, kucoin would be a very good alternative as well.

the company behind SIA is BITCF?    SC is going to crash hard = SEC investigation~ meh

That is totally false. The company that develops the Sia code is Nebulous Inc.

You are mixing a press note concerning a third-party company developing a product in top if Sia, Siaberry, with the actual developers of the Sia code that are selling the TSO for SiaFunds, Nebulous Inc.

What does the SEC has to do with the press note you are sharing about Siaberry? Again you are confused and, importantly, you are confusing other users mixing two independent and unrelated news:

- A third-party company called Siaberry (siaberry.com, they sell RaspberryPi kits to run a hosting node in Sia), independent from Nebulous, has partnered with BITCF.

- The company that develops Sia, Nebulous Inc. (sia.tech), is going to release a Tokenized Securities Offer for selling a portion of their tokens "SiaFunds". They are doing this in compliance with SEC rules, so only accredited investors will be able to opt in.

Sia is really developing well, many did not believe in the success of this project, now bite elbows..!

[Krezz2017]

The trend is maintained downward. I think that we should wait until the middle of March. Then, it will be seen.

[niteuser]

Sia is really developing well, many did not believe in the success of this project, now bite elbows..!

Development needs to accelerate at record levels for sia to become the standard. It sure will take a lot harder work/time/+additional devs than at current rates to place sia in the top 10 util coins.

Price may decide to follow accelerated developments, and may fall hardcore when its taking them to dang long to code and release a feature.

Dedication to code improvement and faster new releases is a must DO here.... Then we shall visit the moon together....
