[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[rendravolt]

Hello all guys-what news the coin in the near future? Are there prerequisites for great growth?. I understand that the whole market is in the hands of bears, but now many coins have come to life, and SC is at a local minimum.

Can you mention which coins have started to grow in bear market conditions like now? SC in my opinion is still in the same situation and will not move for a long time.

Not many, but stil - Countinghouse Fund (CHT) for example

21X ETH ROI

I should have clarified those calculations were done when BTC was at 5.2k USD or so....back a bit

I suspect since the dump it has not done any better...I'd LOVE to be utterly wrong on this and build a rig

anyway, since the dump have not bothered to look at this again...also remember this was with USED equipment

really unsure of what it would be with new (even though I assume storage prices for HD's have likely? come down since that $5.2k price...I think it was when I did the calcs)

anyway, should have been more clear

Of course You should have been more clear. At least to show "calculation" with "25% loss" running SIA hosts.
Taking into account that SIA cloud storage is the feature distinguishing SIA from crypto crowd it is of great interest seeing such "calculation".
Especially when SIA team is assuming that professional data storage nodes would be the core of SIA storage cloud, not the average Joe with available free HDD space and sufficient internet bandwidth.
My opinion is opposite - SIA team could partner with HDD manufacturers and each OTC HDD would come with preinstalled SIA hosting software/wallet that customers could run if proper internet connection is available.
At this point of SIA wallet usability it is not possible, but decentralization is power crypto world should aim to.

The SIA team does a fair amount of posting, including Mr. Vorick, over on Reddit.  There you will find recent posts where the SIA team acknowledges that the people hosting are doing so at a loss.  Interestingly, the defense of this is that loss is being "mitigated" by home users (not professional data storage nodes) renting out what would otherwise be "unused" space.  I'm not sure this makes much sense, but whatever.

That's what the SIA team has to say about this, not Brad, not myself.

Wander over and check for yourself:

https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/a9pn53/why_is_sia_more_costeffective_than_amazon_s3/

the fact they used to post on bitcointalk forum and now don't makes what you say about the 'decentralized' block storage as you say..big guys only...

I have a hard time seeing a 'big' place needing storage backup wanting to use siacoin or sia-tech at this point in time...

naw...it is still amateur hour for sia-tech...they are more into hardware upfront risks to miner consumers along the bitmain plan IMHO, then they are in any way

progressing in a like manner on storage..so far it seems to me to be 'smoke and mirrors'....there is NO promotion of the plans you talk about in the business community

at the level of the hardware hype....thus as a 3 legged stool of storage/ASIC's/promotion..it is only emphasizing the equip angle..which 'supposedly' was for ease,

speed and security of the storage network...which lags...cart before the horse...

again, if what they are saying is true on the storage front...I see nothing in the real world or even crypto world press on any of that....just the ASIC's and that press

is usually negative (right or wrong). Thus I see no hook at this time to get the large data halls to adopt as they claim...

Stuff just on twitter and their own links ...just don't cut it...even if they were active on bitcointalk that would not cut it either

crypto word wise and/or promotion wise they are not doing zip but a few crypto festivals...again...if they want business, large data hall action ...and such..that don't cut it.

At least back in the day small miners acted as 'cheerleaders' for crypto..they need the same solution for storage decentralization...otherwise I feel they will never gain

any traction and of course along with legit business promotion and less emphasis on the sia-tech hardware toys.

We will see, but I've been harping on this for 1 year or more..with no real progress at all ...indeed just not seeing it

Sia coin is one of the most favored project by traders.  It started big and dominated a fair portion of crypto related conversation in the space all the way to this day.

Yes, you are right people have very huge expectations on this coin because, in 2017, the price of Sia increased a lot in the market which makes many people hold the coin for the long term instead of short term. So we need to have patience until the price of Sia coin increases in the market.

There aren't just too many good news I could imagine that will make prices move in this market significantly. It's all rather stagnant or going down.

Teams should work to make clouding and other services easy for anyone who wants to use a decentralized platform. You can make web services for clouding and mobile apps like Google Drive.

today, many companies are trying to solve the problem of data storage, because it is really a global problem, many different companies use our data without our knowledge, and we can not affect it, projects such as yours can prevent it, I hope that we will succeed.

High quality data storage service should include as high privacy as possible.
Privacy and security of customers' data stored on the storage platform will help to fastly build up trust of the service if the team can do both well.
Leaking customers' data due to unexpected events might fastly destroy the reliability and trustworthy of the service.
Good luck for Sia Decentralized storage service this year.

Sia is around for a good amount of time. That might give them the experience and the edge they need to compete with the others.

yes they are and continue to develop which is always a good sign
for any worthwhile project.

SIA is one of the projects I have been following since I started with
Crypto and this new release is great, peer-to-peer end-to-end
encryption over a decentralised network, what not to celebrate?

And more to follow this Spring >

"Goobox Alpha is here!! A zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted file sharing
service that utilizes decentralized cloud network Sia for its storage layer.
This spring we plan to release Goobox Pro, a full-featured cloud storage and file
management solution. This summer we plan to unveil Goobox API, making it fast,
easy and inexpensive for developers and businesses to deploy on Sia."

hello, i'm trying to restore an old wallet from seed, how to do it?   thanks, can't find a shortcut on the UI

just install the last SIA UI - https://sia.tech/get-started, run it and insert your seed
is simple as that

thanks for the reply big_daddy, but that isn't working ... i had dL'd v.1.1.1 somewhere - thanks for the headsup

i remember a wizard would run on f/r, so i renamed the sia folder and started the new wallet, but no wiz ... how to start it?

nvm, i found the button on the new wallet

I've tried 4x and can't get the wallet to install...it asks for pswd...i cut paste or put it in by hand..it never takes have talked to others it has taken them 6 to 8 tries...(i stopped at  4 tries)

this may be the ASIC gods telling me to dump it into BTC as soon as possible in that they don't even have a wallet that works on an install

any pm's on how this is done is welcome...(be warned have tried most I've been told by the above folk who tried 6 - 8x before it worked)

p.s. currently my siacoin (from mining obelisk sc1's which at 2 months doorstops..i managed to sell and get the btc back I put into them, along with 1.25 million or so siacoin)

my buddy from the sale

he is patiently holding my siacoin on his wallet (one of the guys who got it to work above) ...thus again, should probably say screw this and have him sell it for btc

not impressed with their wallet

and even less impressed with their fly by night paper wallet (not supported)

yet another sign of them simply pumping hardware w/o a lot of other progress IMHO..

sheesh

Do you know if they are only into software or whether they also plan on developing hardware devices at some point in the future?

have tried 4 times..have never even got an original wallet to work on any windows machine...so ...never could get the wallet to install and work with passkey

if it is that screwed up to make a sia wallet I'll likely just dump the coins to btc...I mean what  a cluster

their paper wallet is also not supported and amateur

which is why i have issues with sia-tech and sia-coin..they in no way are 'taking care of the basics'

just pumping put hardware

not to mention they said they would pay back some btc to purchasers (late) of obelisk machines at the end of Jan 2019

so..good intentions or not it is amateur hour compared to other coins IMHO
