[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[klarki]

what is new with siacoin? All coins are soaring but sia, what’s wrong with this coin. What is the price of SC when private sale ?

Do you know what decides price of a crypto ? it is SUPPLY and DEMAND. This coin has infinite supply so dont expect a boom like other capped coins,because scarcity always drive people to purchase anything at any price. When it comes to demand sia is a currently developing project, since it is not a payment solution the demand will be solely depend upon final product .For sia demand will only increase when companies approach or start to use sia network for storing files.

Are you sure about that? There are many examples to refute this.

Holding 1M+ SC. Not giving up.

That's right, don't give up.

do you know why I can't withdrawal SC from HITBTC. it shows that withdrawal temporary unavailable.

By the way, they so often on this exchange. And in General, recently a lot of bad reviews on Hitbtc.

I am glad that this asset is represented on many other exchanges.

FYI.

I make 45c a day at my data hall rent and electric rates on Siacoin, this is after electric is paid. FML. They likely will be worth

more in the box/virgin in 20 years, then what I could mine them for.

(I used what to mine calculator)


edit: clarity...if I got an obelisk sc-1 miner today.

[gembitz]

When will the Obelisks be shipped?

questions on this are:

1) when shipped? I figure at best middle of August with their firmware issues...expect another 2 wks to a month to tweak it.

2) will the obelisks simply blow out the GPU cards? or will they not even be turned on because they don't make enough to pay elec to run?

3) will SOMEONE or ANYONE make a decent blake2b coin with hooks other than Siacoin that an obelisk could mine?

4) will their be a 'decentralized' network in place and advertised as an Amazon Cloud killer in 10c to $1 price as promised? or just meh...

5) will they fork to another token/coin if/perhaps if the ASIC's can't be used due to economics on their decentralized cloud vision?

Again, deafening silence on most of the above

SiaLibre bridge is coming soon from the BTI/siaberries(blake2b) DEVELOPMENT team ~hodl BTI !!!

The distributed cloud storage data technology of SIA project is excellent, and the development prospect is worth looking forward to. At present, buying SIA coins is a good choice

If they had the 'network' in play at a competitive price and promoting it against Amazon cloud etc I'd agree with you.

I see this is not happening before the ASIC's hit.

Thus at best the ASIC's take all hash from GPU's ..then the difficulty goes up from the ASIC's ..then the ASIC's get shut off, because more to run in electric than the coin.

So without that network in place pumping things along, the coin will simply die....again deafening silence. No promotion to compete with Amazon.

The price/network/electric/ASIC's etc just are not showing as economically do'able.

45c a day, don't cut it for me and 2.25 or so in electric a day. They will likely stay in the box.

we will see, but I'm not seeing a lot of 'meshing' of the vision in all this stuff lately.

brad

note: my ASIC's are supposed to be here by July 30th. We will be the first to know I guess.

[echodike]

I like this project, it's one of the first project i invested in when i got into cryptos, I want know apart from bittrex, is sia listed on any other centralized exchanges? Also is there a mobile app yet?

gooo siaberryzzz

~we are developing a new coin * same algo / improved diff adjustment tho >>> stay tuned >>> * BTI * SiaLibre *

[Searing]

meanwhile got this from Sia-tech...seems my 'guess' for the middle of August at the soonest they send these was correct. (doorstops on siacoin anyway, not sure it matters)

anyway, for those 'wise' enough not to get any units

here is the email


======= start of email =======

Getting Closer
Since we sent last week's email, we've been troubleshooting and addressing issues as they arise. Our manufacturers are ready to ramp up at a moment's notice, with all materials on hand, and we are confident that we'll be able to give the go-ahead in the next few days.

Some slowdowns we've faced in the last week:

    Control boards were drawing too much current and a component was overheating. We troubleshooted and made a couple changes to the bill of materials (BOM) and are happy to report everything is working.
    Heatsinks were not sitting flush with the chip, causing poor thermal performance. We troubleshooted and tried multiple solutions, and have settled on a fix that will be easy for our manufacturers to implement.

We are posting updates multiple times per day on the #general channel in our Discord server. The team is almost always online to answer questions and share progress. Additionally, we are now posting a daily update in the #announcements channel. If you want real-time updates, pictures, and videos, we highly recommend that you join us on Discord!
Tomorrow we will be doing more firmware optimization and expect to share hashrate figures at end of day. We are also working to complete the firmware that is installed on boards at manufacturing, which is the final step before giving the go-ahead to begin mass production.

Thank you so much for your support! Please let us know if you have any questions.
 
Best,
 
- Team Obelisk


============= end of email ==============

Again, no firm 'date' anymore, the fixes, again IMHO, look problematic, and the firmware looks 'interesting' to say the least?

Again, at my return (use what to mine) it is 45c a day. So this all is a 'moot' point. Anyway, for those who did not get the email, here it is.

Again, unclear on how this is gonna help if it is on a 'raspberry pi'. I 'assume' that this coin will work on ANY blakeb2 miner?

well, hell, it's something anyway.

[romeox6x]

I pretty much predicted what's gonna happen greater than a year back and was confronted with the semi intense obelisk dev who was simply dismissed my estimation like I cannot fairly think because I'm not primary dev. Made me feel really bad and I ended chatting in discord soon after.

[hzjixiang]

How come the sia coin finances take such a long time to synchronize? Yes, I obtain it - an ssd card would acceleration it up. The complete point of the is to get enough visitors to use it so the storage space system is effective, safe - and fast. How on the planet do you anticipate to achieve that when it requires 2 plus times to synchronize the pocket ffs?

[Angel Di]

Probably a good idea to buy coins now, because they say the growth of the entire market is expected soon. And Sia time-tested coin and can be safely expect growth think. And the exchange you can see for yourself, there are many of them.

[cjl1984]

Sia is still excellent in the distributed storage block chain project. The project team should strengthen community building and allow more interested people to participate.

I have read on the official site SiaLibre that for now you are selling only the hardware? am I right
when bill be possible to mine this new coin? can Ihave more info on that please

I think when more and more people start using SONM asics will be used less and less because they're simply not as profitable

Lets talk about the final SIA product, lets put the asic mining story in a second plan please

We need the final cloud decentralized product to ern real money, so, devs, please, do something

[Searing]

Lets talk about the final SIA product, lets put the asic mining story in a second plan please

We need the final cloud decentralized product to ern real money, so, devs, please, do something

That is the part of the sia-tech plan that is unclear..they claim to have a network in place, by the time the ASIC's hit to

take on Amazon Cloud and such, but I see NO promotion or movement in that area at all.

Thus, without a viable network the whole works comes to a grinding halt. Without promotion or the fact the network

works and is up...if NO ONE (consumer) knows about it, even if it is 10c to $1 vs Amazon's Cloud...all will be moot.

Add a mess of ASIC's, most of which not being worth turned on, on top of the fact of the rest replacing GPU miners

that merge mine sia coin...with the next result of the rest of the ASIC's being turned off also.

Well, it all hinges on promotion and such of the decentralized cloud network...and I just don't see it arriving in time

to make any difference on the above. The loss of GPU merge miners to the ASIC's (cheerleaders for siacoin gone) then

the next result of 'the rest of' the ASIC's that were up ..trying to mine siacoin ..still can't make electric..and they are shut

off as well.

Just too damn quiet on all fronts...I think sia-tech realizes they have screwed up.

I can agree with the last one, maybe this is a screwed up project that could be a massive one
