Hi all, Only explain my point of view. I´ve read last opinions, I disagree about some afirmations of the last posts, like "other 10 alternatives", no many improvements about sia, etc. With all respect I think that the sia proyect has a future, well... others have some features but are in many cases the proyect is new or with low real use.
sia is growing, with real proyects, now you can pay with fiat easily to suscribe storage services much much cheaper than other alternatives like amzn, can be check online sia cloud price fast. The used storage increases slow month by month, the stats are public on Internet.
For other side sia has a good volume of trade, with liquidity to maintain the mining network. I think too what with one strategic partner like big company, public organization, army, state or similiar would be more easy bring the proyect to other level. Self-replicating and privacy focus is a good avantage too, others dont have this posibility. For many uses is enought with the sia capacities.
Well, the future of sia I think depend on how to will be adapt to the future, but It is a good position for start, with dominance position inside their market.
Long life SIA!

storage in blockchain war a good marketing... but other project have gone forward
Which "other project", and in what way it gone forward?
you have more than 10 decentralized cloud... sia is like a slow FTP and you can only store files... when others car do a lot more

You put 30 Bitcoins? In fairness most other coins have had a similar drop off.

In 2017, it was the peak of all altcoins including SIA, I was able to feel some btc from trading at that time. But since a year ago the market direction has worsened, I doubt if this coin will rise again.
First time hearing of this. Has anyone have experience storing their files in this?
All I know is I looked into this 9 months ago..and even with the cheapest of "used' equipment I could not make this storage stuff fly
by making any size box in any way/shape/form worth doing and profitable. It is all data hall folks that do this on the side as far as I can tell.
So until that part is fixed...we are due at BEST to sideways.....IMHO...but again, the devs are failing with this project in so many directions
from sia-tech/grin debacle\little use coin with high difficulty due to over mining or how shall I say instead, driving up difficulty without
and corresponding use or adoption of that coin so IMHO vs adoption or hell at least the storage thing in break-even mode
am not encouraged by siacoin at this point, at all

Thanks for the update, Brad. It seems as though the concept is hard to pull off.
I'd like to be wrong, but IMHO, unless there is a way for someone to build a Siacoin decentralized storage aspect of all this...even with used equipment and simply just
break even on the electric say, to help this concept...I fear it is doomed. Too many coins and difficulty for use now and also the Sia-Tech ASIC maker aspect is way over the top vs their
real 'supposed' reason for all this. The decentralized and anonymous worldwide storage vision. I still think they are gonna pull a Butterfly Labs (in the USA) and go bankrupt. I see no
other option if they still have expenses from the Sia-Tech aspect and GRIN miner failures and are NOT making any more SC1 boards of any type for sale. They have to eat those
loses in some manner, IMHO. I'd love to be proved wrong, but with the 'deafening' silence going on, I feel that is not the case.
Brad
It does sound ominous, SIA was one of my ALT projects which I
was truly excited about but I lost patience and liquidated my
tokens back into Bitcoin as did everyone I know!
Time to cut the losses and focus on the only project that really matters

Finally the another terrible year for altcoins ended hours ago, and we have jumped in to the new year, 2020, with lots of hope for altcoins. Of course, I wish all the best for Sia coin project, the team's future developmental and marketting plans, their families, and for all of the Siacoiners.
Despite of some waves of amazing recoveries in 2019, there are only a minority of investors and traders took advantage of it and enriched their portfolios. For the others, who long-term hold the coin, and if they bought it in 2017 or early of 2018, they have still temporarily suffered some level of losses but don't give up, a lot of positive things to come in the new year and next year too.
Best wishes to you.

my issue they made a lot of ASIC equipment (but no more for SC) and they made a lot of coins, as a result, to speculate with...but the supposed purpose of
Siacoin as a decentralized anonymous file server worldwide storage network is way, way behind and just plain silly for cost/use, etc in its present form.
I still think Sia-Tech is gonna pull a ButterFly Labs in the USA and just walk with Bankruptcy. I don't see how they can pull off their 'supposed' network after losing
money on the GRIN hardware and other dubious stuff.
I'd like to be proven wrong on the storage coming up to speed..but just don't see any talk or any action as such at the same level as speculation hype on Siacoin prices
and difficulty nor on the movement of hardware for SC coin ASIC'S...and supposedly that was the whole purpose of SC coin but it has been lost in the dogpile.
What is Your problem with SIA decentralized storage? Do You want to sell or buy storage?
It is impossible to make storage for this Siacoin decentralized system even with the most optimistic of 'used' equipment prices.....indeed last I looked it did not
pay if you got the equipment free! Thus for a decentralized anonymous storage method that relies on 'getting' people to use it, (large data halls and corporation
data halls) vs Amazon...unless you can build such a setup to use with Siacoin....you are limited. Thus lots of Siacoin speculation and difficulty and lots of equipment
they sold for BTC and had a 'nice' career for the last few years...but hey, unless people can build their system in a decentralized method as well and make even a
frigging 'modest' profit....well....no corporation data hall Tech ever got fired for using Amazon Cloud. It is gonna be a hard sell if that is your market for this.
But prove me wrong. Show me a system I can build for $5k to $10k with this in mind that I can even get 'close' to an ROI and I'll listen. Again, the storage vision
is years behind the equipment and amount of difficulty and Siacoin out there being traded, IMHO. Without catching that up in the manner above, also in a decentralized
way, it is all fairy dust/unicorn farts/ and rainbows! IMHO!

Hi everyone, i am long term holder of SC if the year 2019 was very good and had great progresses i will probably buy more SC
Heh, I admire you 'big brass ones' but myself, unless they show some REAL progress in the decentralized storage option that is supposedly the 'heart' of Siacoin...
rather then-current 'speculation on the price of SC and/or miners per se...I'm gonna just stay out of this for now. Right now I'm basically in HODL mode for a pump
in SC prices, before I dump all or most. Color me 'skeptical'. I mean they are NOT even making ASIC boards that could be used with SC for the Cheap DCR-1 boxes
sitting out in the world. But mainly, put up or shut up on the decentralized storage part of the project or the whole SC coin endeavor is gonna fall into a black hole, IMHO.
Brad
The enthusiasm to further develop their platform has subside?
I am not really following their progress but I know they are one of the pioneers in decentralized storage.
Are the current clients of SIA happy with their services?
They have several investors on this project, so I don't think they will just stop their developments.

well i didnt have idea of all these things honestly. but kraken recentrly listed sia so i guess thins are not so ugly for siacoin proyect
Just remember apart of kraken thing also Bain Capital invested 3,5M in siacoin lately. I don,t think those companies invest resources for nothing
https://www.coindesk.com/sia-network-raises-3-5-million-from-bain-capital-to-become-crypto-hulu
The Bain Capital investment looks to me like they are buying a lottery ticket on Sia's IP, that's all. 3.5MM is nothing to a venture capital firm. I did not get a sense of optimism after reading about the Bain Capital infusion.

seem that other project have gone forward in term of storage... i don't know what's wrong with sia it was the 1st but like myspace it fell

Blockchain domains + decentralized storage = A website only you can put up and take down!!!
BUT siatech missed this important step... i don't think you can store files for websites on sia blockchain...
so why siacoin could have a future when other project have gone forward in terms of storage ?
