Storj (SJCK) vs. Siacoin (SC) - Discussion

[jeffthebaker]

They are both shit. Siacoin devs want to hardfork to add some billions of coins into their own wallets. Storj is an ICO from the devs that brought other useless ICOs. Besides, Factom is already up and running and has been getting the job done for quite some time now. Who even needs/actually uses these?

I'd personally stay far from Storj after reading this: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6mop66/storj_developer_quits_after_30m_ico_and_launches/

Thank you for sharing this! I have been thinking to invest SIA or Storj, but now I need to investigate more.

Did a lot on research on Sia, StorJ and Maidsafe - Sia is my favourite by far.

• Great, transparent team with good roadmap (Seriously, there is no other project-lead with such great community interaction)
• Nameworthy investors backing the project (Li Xiaolai just gave them a 400k grant to expand their team https://sia.tech/2017grant/)
• Mineable, no ICO
• Upcoming ASICs to strengthen network
• Rising development on top of the Sia network (eg. MineBox with HP cooperation)

In my opinion definitely a Top 10 coin in 2018 - I can only recommend to check out their reddit /r/siacoin.

That info is wrong.
This was a post from a dev who was thinking out loud of how the team could raise funds. This was never an official statement nor a team expression.
The Sia Devs are very open in communication, in this case maybe a bit too less sensitive.

Three days ago they got a grant and announced in Slack:
“Nebulous has received a generous grant from INBlockchain, to be used for the development of Sia. Li Xiaolai quotes: "don't worry about money, just have things well done".As a part of this grant, we are committing to not forking the blockchain to fund development, now or in the future."

Thank you guys for your replies and opinions!

I think that the success or not of the coins has to do with the "usability" and how easy and effective it is to setup and use so I would still love to hear from someone that actually uses these services on a daily basis.

The fact that devs even considered hardforking cash into their own wallets is a very huge red flag. I don't see how many members of the community were blindly supporting this because "The devs know best!" I can't get behind that kind of mindless support.

[ShorsHammer]

Is there anywhere to see usage stats for both?

[phil65]

Siacoin, they have a workin product.

[Topherson]

I totally agree, siacoin is a great company and is my favorite

LOL! All that guy did was talk shit and embellish and now he just up and quits, what a riot.  And this kids, is why you always choose the coin with fairer distribution, the devs for those projects generally have a lot more conviction.

[Kenny001]

I love siacoin. I made great earnings with it.  Bought at 20m marketcap and sold at 300m market cap.  Bought back during the crash.

[Green trust]

I don't buy Sia or Storj. Buy Shift and thank me later. Shift is the new web. Decentralized and versatile.
Combining a blazing fast, dApp-ready, delegated Proof of Stake blockchain with the interplanetary file system - for a
decentralized, resilient and highly extensible web 3.0 platform. Building the new world wide web. Just better.

[Kenny001]

True, shift will probably grow like sia.

[Green trust]

True, shift will probably grow like sia.

+1

People don't understand this. If you want to be a millionaire you should find a coin that nobody talks about. You should find a coin which has huge potential and cheap. Shift has cheap price right now.

Are you know with an altcoin still cheap as Sia and can mining GPU, when have Asic mining is bad ways and making the price can breakdown by inflationary? And we not know Siacoin how many coin can supportly on market, not have limit and can creating everytime lol

[kilobytez]

I personally use SIACOIN as preference mainly because of it's user-friendly UI.

What? Sorry, but your English is horrible... I guess the two points you want to criticize are ASICs and inflation?

I really don't want to explain all the benefits of ASIC mining here, but shortly it means more network power and higher security.
The Sia team did their best to make the ASIC presale as widely distributed as possible, to avoid centralization of hashing power.

About inflation, Siacoins are burned as collateral, which is actually deflationary.
True, there will be further coins mined without a overall cap, but Sia said that the inflation the next years will be ~2%, that's less than Bitcoin has.
