why dont you at least link to some sources so people will know what you are asking them?  https://www.coindesk.com/kill-switch-engaged-sia-blockchain-to-block-bitmain-and-other-big-miners/

They will have to fork at least once a year to prevent making new miners.  Overall is good because tehy will have way more smaller miners.

I don't assume people trust any link shoved in their face but suppose it would have been courteous.

Are you saying this is good because the network will be smaller? Or that they'll have more miners with lower hashrate?

There will be more miners because they will get more.  It means a lots for any coin to have 100 miners instead of 1.

It's difficult to see any real world use for SIA due to the availability of cheap / free large storage resources. I would put money into SONM instead which is a decentralised super computer. Works like SIA but instead of storage it will use your processing power instead

I would also put money in SONM which is a new and good project like Sia, I see this as a very good also brave move, but still I wish there was another option except fork.

Can you elaborate on that a bit please?

I personally see a great use of blockchain at sharing storing resources. And SIA is one of the most developed projects.

Very good for Sia keepers. But I don't get a project to do fork. Of course, all projects that have been fork up to now have been profitable.
