I am developer so like things organized. Crypto can be a little complex with wallets, exchanges and such so I like to know where everything is. Also come tax time I will know cost basis and if it is a short or long term gain. 

Wow, you are a savage, man. Handling so many coins in a professional way. Seems like you have got a lot of experience!!

With google spreadsheet. I create a tab for each coin, and grab the prices in USD and BTC from function calls to exchanges with web service API calls.
On the 1st tab of the spreadsheet I grab key data for all the coins and get a summary of their value. I also grab the hourly, 24 hour and 7 day change for each coin. I also place sell targets here as well.

Well I am doing just fine. Up 40x this year with a diversified portfolio, how are you doing? Also I am all in in cryptocurrencies in my non-IRA portfolio, so my eggs are all in one basket in a sense.

Funny. That suddenly puts a lot of things in perspective

sia is doing well, i picked some up at 25 satoshi and hodl longterm.... by the way i think obelisk is a good decision.

Poverty mindset has been pounded into you; my deepest sympathies.

Poor people believe you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, billionaires put all their eggs in one basket and do everything in their power to make sure their basket isn't knocked over.

really a good project and this very cheap, I remember when it was worth 300 satoshi, and think that it fell so much



How can you monitor all those coins?

Don't put your eggs all in one basket, I spread mine of 20 coins. Shitcoins get a small %. Quality coins like Sia get 5%+ of the total portfolio.

It seems like the perfect time to invest. Personally put in 7 BTC (23% of portfolio) an hour ago.
There are few problems, but this altcoin looks to be the most promising for mid-long hold.

Train starts moving shopping time is now!

Fingers crossed! I'm all in! 

Thank you very much. But if a small business want to use it, it can? Is it robust enough for that?

Thank you for this nice information

The network was released just 2 years ago, and a project like this don't become mainstream so fast in the same way Bitcoin will still require several years to become a mainstream currency.

The most honest reason is that the product is not totally complete. It works, and renters can upload (and everyday upload) their files and backups, but there is still much work to keep doing: beyond 5 Terabytes uploaded the client starts to freeze, there are certain bugs some renters experience, native file sharing and file streaming is not yet allowed. Fortunately, solutions to all these points are in their roadmap, and for instance next release on September/October should revamp the renter experience and increase the cap to 40Tb.

Also the independent developers have to keep creating tools and services over the Sia network (like storage services that accept FIAT and do the Sia thing behind the scenes), and keep creating integrations with popular services and tools. The dev team created last month a campaign of bounties to encourage independent devs to achieve these integrations. Last month it was Minio (a popular storage server container compatible with Amazon S3 or Azure), last week it was Duplicati (a popular backup service) and more bounties will come.

Bottom line: While it is a working product, there is work yet to do. But step by step Sia is getting there.

Simple question: as i see, it has lots of advantages, including the one that makes everybody pay attention: price (huge). Why then it has not gone mainstream yet?
Thank you in advance for ur time and answer.

That is on the roadmap (https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-public-roadmap) File sharing among users on next update and external sharing on the next 18 months 


Hello. You have downloaded a client that neither is official, nor the author have provided the code for reviewing and moreover: as far as we are aware is not working properly and you can't send transactions.

Probably the app is asking you your recovery seed to unlock the wallet. But I don't recommend you to provide it, as there are some chances the app is a scam and it would deplete the funds of your wallet. Use only the official client: http://sia.tech/apps/

  hoi foks i instal the android sia wallet and wanna check the adres,but the wallet says you need to unlock wallet first.
But it dont tels me howe to do this,can somebody tels me how to unlock android wallet thank you.

It couls be absolutely great to be able to generate a link for sharing a file with somebody. A torent-like link. The wallet wouldn't be necessary for everyone then...

They're looking to be a while out there, but there are solid use cases that will absolutely require decentralized storage for progression to continue.

Possibly the most important potential applications, IMO, of decentralized storage can be found browsing the articles on sites like this:

Sia is more popular day by day. Nice to see good progress.
