[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[alicecrowl966]

Hi guys, some time ago i found out that one project is going to accept Sia tokens...They will change them to their tokens (MASP)
Their ico begins today and there are a lot of bonuses for the early birds...So i just wanted to share this info with you...I thought it might be valuable to you
Here is the link to their announcement thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2961359.0

What price do you seen siacoin realistically going to in the near future any TA available?

TA only works so well on such a volatile asset. On the FA side, since it now much more expensive to mine SC now that it is mostly done with costly ASIC miners; one would think the price of the coin would reflect that eventually.

Market.space ICO is live now! Feel free to exchange your SiaCoins for MASP to see how our approach to the decentralized data storage differs. More details can be found here

hello
sia-coldstorage is safe to use?

If you download it from here yes: https://github.com/avahowell/sia-coldstorage/releases . Check you are downloading it from the repository of avahowell and not anyone else's cloned software (otherwise it could be a scam aimed to steal your funds). Ava Howell is a former core developer member, so it is a trustable.

I am just curious, in order to detect potential scams (as sia-coldsrtorage is a tool only known by very advanced users): where did you learnt about it? Can you share the link your read about it and which download link it you found?

tnx for help
i download from your address and its a run file (sia-coldstorage.exe)
when u run it give u seed and more than 10 address is it correct ?

Yes, in Sia a wallet is a collection of addresses, all of them pointing to your balance and all of them being unlocked with a single recovery seed. So it is normal you have multiple addresses (good for privacy) but just one seed.

Keep the seed in a safe place, as it is the only way to unluck your funds in the future whenever you need to send them elsewhere using the Sia-UI

Most decentralised coins have the blockchain download time, as its a trustless network and no masternodes, sync is the price you pay.

The wallet of sia usually gives me problems, I download it directly from the official website and usually give error many times, someone knows why? First it says that it is updating to a new version, but in the end a critical error message appears and the wallet does not appear nor the platform appear ...

Whats the exact difference between siacoin, storj and filecoin.. any comparison charts available

[MrSunshine]

Whats the exact difference between siacoin, storj and filecoin.. any comparison charts available

Siacoin - Decentralized, private, secure - in beta mode
storj - centralized
filecoin - just a white paper at this point

[sheenarif]

I have 100,000 SIA, after 2 years I hope it will reach $ 2 

Nice prediction my friend, but first let it reach atleast 10 Cents

[saheng]

When the Bitcoin protocol is decentralized, bitcoin services such as Bitcoin exchange, Bitcoin wallet software, or other software that allows people to manage bitcoins and run centralized or decentralized.

Some questions that arise later, who will keep the Bitcoin transaction? Who stores transactions that apply to Bitcoin? And who will create the new Bitcoin? The question is in more detail the technical details of the Bitcoin protocol.

this is why Sia is even in beta a leader in decentralized cloud storage

we wave to support this project & hodl our coins, not sell them for pennies
don't have any yet? maybe there will never be SC at this cheap price, so, get some or mine some

Looks like your blockchain database, the consensus.db file, might be corrupted. In Windows, go to the folder

Code:

%appdata%/roaming/Sia-UI/sia 

and delete the subfolders "consensus" and transactionpool. Open Sia again and let it sync the blockchain again

[GeorgiaCoin]

Everyone I knew in block-chain has many good things to say about SIA,  this could be give us many folds in coming years. Time to add more coins at this cheap price. Best days are ahead for Sia.

I expect more from Sia, with its volume reaching 1300 BTC should Sia rise slowly and reach his ATH again.

Price 500 sat is very cheap for a coin like Sia and now it has dropped as much as 100%.
Maybe next year I will see that the price of Sia can reach 1000 sat like XVG.

Which price is your expected new All time high for Siacoin? Please tell me and give me hints to take profits from Siacoin.

Last year Sia reached 800 sat and I hope the end of this year can reach 1000 sat even more.
You should ask that last month when the price touched 130 sat. You can buy it as much as possible and hold it until the end of this year.

Now also the price is still too cheap for this coin. Catch for short term, in the near future we will see the price will touch 300 sat.

Why need to run away from ASICS mining? Those with GPU who mine earlier have earned enough and is time for them to hodl while waiting for the price of Sia to go up.

Does the project already have competitors in this area?

I hope the price drops again like last month because I just bought a little bit of siacoin in 160 satoshi.
If BTC rises to 20k $ next month I'm pessimistic that siacoin will increase its price as you say.

no
Sia is the only decentralized cloud storage, with beta version already running
so, the one
