I actually fear SC will suffer a short term sump similar to bcn on Binance. Would've preferred sc on Binance when the market is better
I think on the contrary, the team came to finance on time. Since any almost coin when entering the exchange, first has a pattern to grow slightly in price, and then follows a long fall. Now is a period when all the coins fall in price. This year showed us new trend that supply of coins was nothing but an illusion and what matters most is the working platform and use case of any coin or token. yeah, my question is ..will the working platform be in place for the 3x to 7x the capacity that the original sia-tech obelisk only miners...that they expected... IMHO, the network decentralized storage better be able to scale fast in July 2018, or we are all screwed....in that you have what, say 4x the ASIC capacity and they are all going to jump on, driving up difficulty from day one? Again, if I remember right, the original 10k of obelisk units (their original goal) was to hit according to sia-tech would be 30% inflation of coin per month....so can the decentralized network they supposedly have, be in place to take this load, and move their vision of 10c to $1 decentralized cloud storage in comparison to Amazon? Again, if the ASIC's hit and their network is not up to speed...all that will happen is everyone making coin..till they shut the ASIC's off and then you have no network because they can't make enough to pay for the electric....this could be a cluster....inform me my fears are meaningless please... brad the most convenient way to contact the developers. write on the YouTube channel in the comments. as soon as the new video comes out. write first .they will hear you 100%. you can write to them what you think.))) did so ....deafening silence...they just don't want to say ......because they have no clue is my assumption.....

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

The Hyperspace team is forking the Sia codebase and will be generating ~3.5B Space Cash to be freely distributed to all Siacoin holders in order to encourage people to learn about and experiment with the Hyperspace network upon public launch.
These Space Cash will be distributed in a ratio of 10 Siacoin (SC) to 1 Space Cash (SPACE). The Space Cash distribution will be based upon a snapshot of the Sia blockchain taken at block 161358, corresponding to approximately the beginning of July 1st, Greenwich Mean Time.
We do not know if any exchanges will support the airdrop, so if you would like to participate you should make sure to have your Siacoin in your personal wallet with your own private seed during the snapshot time.
For timely updates regarding the fork, please join us on our Discord server.
We will be posting a detailed guide on how to retrieve the airdrop as the date draws nearer.
Thank you for your interest in the Hyperspace project! trading exchanges will support it? Does anyone have information on this issue?

I think I already know the answer to this but I figured I would be safe then sorry. If I download Sia's wallet and transfer my Siacoins to it on my computer and my computer at some point crash's can I rebuild another computer download Sia's wallet again and enter my seeds and retrieve my Sia wallet from the network?

what trading exchanges will support the fork? Yes if you back up your wallet/seeds you can boot up a new wallet on any device and import your data. I believe the fork mentioned is not from the Sia team but a different project so this wouldnt be the thread to ask what exchanges would support the new coin.

Can SSDs be used to mine yet?
What about competition?
I bet all these storage coins will do better than the average GPU/ASIC mining coin from now on, which is great. Wish I hodled more than I do right now.
Is the supply infinite by the way?

I've never used the Sia UI I've always kept my Sia on an exchange. But figured it's time to put it away for a while so I'm downloading the UI now. It takes some time lol...But at 75.4% so almost there. Again thank you for your quick response.

As far as I understand it...sia-tech was NEVER interested in the siacoin price in that it was based on SCARCITY...they wanted sia to be used by their
ASIC's in a network for the ASIC security...these coins would gain their worth from the use in the ASIC network and the 30% inflation was needed
to expand this decentralized ...cheap 10c to the $1.00 alternative to Amazon and other centralized networks...
thus..it was always assumed by me (at least) that as soon as these ASIC's hit their decentralized network..the network would determine the worth
of siacoin no longer the scarcity from GPU mining etc. What confuses me is IF this was really their goal then why they did not fork siacoin to retain
control over the amount of ASIC miners is a mystery to me...it will be much more than 30% coin inflation a month now...
The good news is IF, they have the sia-tech ready to go for when these ASIC's hit in July and start to firm up the backbone for their vision..no issues
but I hear NOTHING about HOW they plan to convert folk from known centralized storage like Amazon into their vision with NO promotion I'm aware of...
also, no mention of what they are going to do with 5x the ASIC's they expected (if you take out the bitmain units as no longer profitable..a bit iffy that)
right now on coin price...if I had my units NOW I'd make $1 a day...per obelisk unit....thus....the network vision they have tried to do has to come
up to speed and take up the slack or NO ASIC miners will run their network if it costs more than the present siacoin price to run them
but, hey, they got a lot of BTC from the pre-orders last year ..the ave price was like 0.97 BTC in my case....back last July 2017 or so....they did not fork
the coin..after bitmain equipment dump....so maybe they have siacoin in hand and/or the BTC still in hand to cover all the equipment/research etc in the
ASIC's they put out ..so no risk to them there....I just don't see sia-tech having anything on the line with all this either as getting their network up in
time..nor on their 4 batches of obelisks, none of them have shipped yet, where is the hype? where are the promo's? how are you gonna take on Amazon?
deafening silence....
just wonder if they will just watch the ASIC network all kick in...and they will dwadle around half-assed wait and not get their network up in any legit time frame
and it will fail...(a big ho hum from them) and no real risk to them, with all risk on those who are speculating in siacoin and those who bought their line on their ASIC
network vision of 'competing' with Amazon...damn hard to compete if the folk gonna buy in have never heard of your vision/option and no scale-up at all!
from sia-tech already paid for..probably many times over if they kept some of the payments in bitcoin...asic miners left holding the bag
1) ASIC's from obelisk and others, come up...can't mine at present prices...no network of any note to support such..ASIC buyers left holding the bag...
2) folk speculating on siacoin, price can't support itself from all the ASIC's driving up difficulty and price..no more scarcity for price....are left holding the bag
3) after the dust settles ..they can go the new algo route on the letter they sent out with different algo makers and put their decentralized network or
use this now defunct protocol with other asic's in the future...after all the above crashes...lots of options..or they can just fold shop and walk with no issues.
...on that...if it takes them another year to get up to speed to launch anything....see 1) and 2) above of those screwed...but as to the devs and sia-tech
as a whole...no real risk.....called having your cake and eat it too...as an asic maker and or a dev....by that I mean the network gets up..when the network
gets up....dev is set for life as a crypto holder....like luke jr. of bitcoin core...screw everybody...it gets up when they feel like it ..ie again no risk /pressure...
rinse/wash/repeat ..seen this before with projects
so the question remains...if the price is not in the speculation of siacoins for scarcity etc because a crapload of siacoin ASIC's from different mnfg's and
Obelisk ASIC's are going to turn on ...if in sia-tech obelisk's case...middle of July 2018....is their vision/network up to the task of keeping these beasties up
to even support the network...or are you just mining promised and air? ...again, likely future 'bag holder'
you have to have use/volume and their decentralized network 'in play' to pay electric and make extra coin for yourself via the network or all is moot..
or again, is the project not ready, and it is not in their control and thus they are just gonna watch it implode....blame bitmain, blame other mnfg's with blake2b ASIC's and
kick the can down the road...as a re-do? or hell just fold up the project..take whatever income or profits made in the last year or so and walk?
again, seen this before on projects
again, deafening silence on any/all of the above issues
thats how i understand stuff at this point in time anyway...they have to hit the ground running or come the end of July when the ASIC's hit ..I just have
a mess of Obelisk doorstops...

I think you miss some fundamentals here...with influx of ASICS, NOTHING changes with amount of sia coins produced...1 billion ASICS would produce same number of coins as 3 GPUs (if network would drop down to 3 GPUs level, that is)...only difficulty rises, making it harder to stay competitive

As far as I understand it...sia-tech was NEVER interested in the siacoin price in that it was based on SCARCITY...they wanted sia to be used by their
ASIC's in a network for the ASIC security...these coins would gain their worth from the use in the ASIC network and the 30% inflation was needed
to expand this decentralized ...cheap 10c to the $1.00 alternative to Amazon and other centralized networks...
thus..it was always assumed by me (at least) that as soon as these ASIC's hit their decentralized network..the network would determine the worth
of siacoin no longer the scarcity from GPU mining etc. What confuses me is IF this was really their goal then why they did not fork siacoin to retain
control over the amount of ASIC miners is a mystery to me...it will be much more than 30% coin inflation a month now...
The good news is IF, they have the sia-tech ready to go for when these ASIC's hit in July and start to firm up the backbone for their vision..no issues
but I hear NOTHING about HOW they plan to convert folk from known centralized storage like Amazon into their vision with NO promotion I'm aware of...
also, no mention of what they are going to do with 5x the ASIC's they expected (if you take out the bitmain units as no longer profitable..a bit iffy that)
right now on coin price...if I had my units NOW I'd make $1 a day...per obelisk unit....thus....the network vision they have tried to do has to come
up to speed and take up the slack or NO ASIC miners will run their network if it costs more than the present siacoin price to run them
but, hey, they got a lot of BTC from the pre-orders last year ..the ave price was like 0.97 BTC in my case....back last July 2017 or so....they did not fork
the coin..after bitmain equipment dump....so maybe they have siacoin in hand and/or the BTC still in hand to cover all the equipment/research etc in the
ASIC's they put out ..so no risk to them there....I just don't see sia-tech having anything on the line with all this either as getting their network up in
time..nor on their 4 batches of obelisks, none of them have shipped yet, where is the hype? where are the promo's? how are you gonna take on Amazon?
deafening silence....
just wonder if they will just watch the ASIC network all kick in...and they will dwadle around half-assed wait and not get their network up in any legit time frame
and it will fail...(a big ho hum from them) and no real risk to them, with all risk on those who are speculating in siacoin and those who bought their line on their ASIC
network vision of 'competing' with Amazon...damn hard to compete if the folk gonna buy in have never heard of your vision/option and no scale-up at all!
from sia-tech already paid for..probably many times over if they kept some of the payments in bitcoin...asic miners left holding the bag
1) ASIC's from obelisk and others, come up...can't mine at present prices...no network of any note to support such..ASIC buyers left holding the bag...
2) folk speculating on siacoin, price can't support itself from all the ASIC's driving up difficulty and price..no more scarcity for price....are left holding the bag
3) after the dust settles ..they can go the new algo route on the letter they sent out with different algo makers and put their decentralized network or
use this now defunct protocol with other asic's in the future...after all the above crashes...lots of options..or they can just fold shop and walk with no issues.
...on that...if it takes them another year to get up to speed to launch anything....see 1) and 2) above of those screwed...but as to the devs and sia-tech
as a whole...no real risk.....called having your cake and eat it too...as an asic maker and or a dev....by that I mean the network gets up..when the network
gets up....dev is set for life as a crypto holder....like luke jr. of bitcoin core...screw everybody...it gets up when they feel like it ..ie again no risk /pressure...
rinse/wash/repeat ..seen this before with projects
so the question remains...if the price is not in the speculation of siacoins for scarcity etc because a crapload of siacoin ASIC's from different mnfg's and
Obelisk ASIC's are going to turn on ...if in sia-tech obelisk's case...middle of July 2018....is their vision/network up to the task of keeping these beasties up
to even support the network...or are you just mining promised and air? ...again, likely future 'bag holder'

Sure the network would survive, sure sia-tech would likely survive even such a missed launch...but could siacoin ever recover after such a fiasco...doubtful...money talks and bullsh*t walks....folk would walk with eventual coin being worth nothing in their vision was not up to speed on the storage solution when they said and with the asic dump (investment) of equipment not able to be used....ie coin would tank and likely stay tanked in price IMHO, would be too much of a boat anchor on development etc, folk would move on to other projects with such a failure, again IMHO.

AGAIN, I HOPE I am DEAD WRONG! but they can't have BOTH, but the kind of investment into blake2b siacoin and say it is based on a network being in place when such ASIC's hit the world and MISS such, having it not in place. That is a significant investment in the future of siacoin 'tossed away' if you can't even turn them on due to siacoin price (again, without such a network in place ...a network in place and I'm wrong...I'm saying I see now hype or network in place to hit the ground running to compete against amazon etc...and feel that needs to be so) so anyway, with such a significant amount of folk investing in such equipment and you can't even run it due to the electric..the price of siacoin would further dump and thus all that potential investment from equipment in asic's and siacoin 'cheerleaders' on price and promotion is lost...and with such a boat anchor the coin itself likely would not recover..this is the fear...a working up to speed network ready for the ASIC's to hit the siacoin universe and I'm incorrect which I hope.but as of now ..not seeming to me to be likely from what I've heard. as to the ASIATECH quote above...not sure what was meant..no bitcointalk thread by that name I can find...sent a pm to clarify. brad
