I like this concept and sorry if my query has been raised before but whats stopping some pedo ring from storing kiddie porn on the sia blockchain and ending up on your hard drive?
If everything is encrypted then you could be harboring this kind of vile filth on your own physical equipment. Encrypted or not its possibly still there. That would be my only issue with this tech. Can anyone speak to this and either alleviate my concerns or confirm them?

Nothing stops anyone from using the network and hosts never know what they are storing.

Nice article that one (comparing the 3 major decentralized storage projects).

Thx for sharing!

may be sia need work hard to catch up storj.

It seems many people are interested in the comparison of Sia and Storj. I don't think Sia looks Storj as a competitor. Sia only looks the centralized clouds as the competitors such as Amazon S3. The goal of Sia is to over take Amazon S3.

If you really want to compare these two projects, the best way to do so is to check their github activities and run these two softwares to figure it out yourselves.

If you don't know how to check the github activities and you are too lazy to run the softwares you have to rely on other people's opinions. But you still can choose to rely on some reliable sources with data and facts which other people have aggregated. You need data and facts, not just words. Here are some reliable sources for you to refer to:

I find this coin intriguing but it is so low price on poloniex.
Is development active? I like the idea of investing.

no this coin is dead, overwhelmed with dual mining

Sia fell to the level of worthless coin. It's not funny how such an old and solid coin falls in these situations.
I think he left himself to rest after giving the "Dev" to the market in his own hands!

It's quite active! Three people working full time on development plus more people for marketing and operations.
Check their Github: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/commits/master
Also, their devs are very friendly. If you join Slack you will find them there as well chatting with the community and answering questions.
In my opinion, the coin is much undervalued for what the tech has achieved already. For sure a good time to invest.

Thank you for the answers. I may have to join their slack.
I created a wallet and bought some on polo, I love the idea of the hosting and that you have some nice features like terminal.
I think I agree this is undervalued even for what I have seen already.

I very like Sia because I think they are a whole changing project in the industry of cloud storage. More greats news come from the partnership with Minebox. This startup can could increase the reliability of storing data on the Sia network: http://bit.ly/2lu5sem

Anyway I hope demand will be higher than inflation rate

The Sia's market cap increased 736% in 2016. Comparing to that, its inflation rate is ignorable. This will hold true in the future as well. So don't let the inflation rate fool you. On top that that the inflation makes the network more secure.
