Topic: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - page 291. (Read 1382228 times)

I tried it (and a lot of other work arounds) and was not successful 

Probably because SIA is one of the coins available to Dual mine, so if Mining ETH or Decred you basically get SIA for free and what do you do with free stuff ?

I have asked the devs on Slack, let's wait for their answer...
Can't you just copy the filename from the file-list and insert it into the command?

still have that problem - suggestions?

Showing little uptrend now hoping it is ready to move back to its best price again i used to sell this as well when it is still on its peak hopefully with this updates we will see another good value with one and the progress will continue good luck dev team.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Dropbox, and in the future Kim Dotcom's MEGA UPLOAD 2 ... all driving the cost of cloud storage in one direction: down.

Too much supply = Lower cost = Siacoin in shitter

Why has the value dropped so much i sold this at 135 sats.

Woop Woop
+ nice little bump going on there 

News from twitter. Sia v1.0.4 has been released, along with our new LTS line, v1.0.4-LTS.

The idea is good and very lever so well done to that. The problem is how  secure is this ? How secure is my data ? If the network goes down or there is a problem then I will not only lose my data but end up with a useless coin as well. Or at least one we can trade with still but it will lose alot of value.

Is SIA good for anything other than decentralised storage. I seem to recall the devs were quite competent, and not into hype. But I haven't looked at it for a while

Yes,I know.Btc-up,Alts-down,but Sia is reeeeeeeeekt!!!!!!

Then someone needs to tell whoever to update the SIA website FAQ, prolly white paper too...


Reality check here guys... between Dropbox, Google, Microsoft and Amazon, the price of cloud storage is a race to the bottom. Google and Microsoft could give terabytes away to enterprise customers for free for months with little impact to their bottomline. SIACOIN can be the price of dirt and still be in an uphill battle to compete, because nothing is cheaper than free and these tech giants have armies of developers to make their shit shine.

Someone say something about customers?

Enterprise IT is the only big customer base willing to adopt and pay for this stuff.

For an enterprise IT shop to take interest, price is important... but more critical is reliability and user friendliness.  CTO's or IT upper management are not going to sign-up for bleeding edge software that generates boat loads of support tickets.  IT guys are lazy, they don't like users and don't like responding to support tickets even more.  Also, most enterprise IT management is conservative, resistant to changing technology (and underwear) -- why? because their pay/bonuses often depend on meeting SLA's (i.e. DOWNTIME : ANGRY USERS = BAD).  Damn, it's taken most of them years to entertain the idea of using servers hosted outside their own data centers...

won't have to wait long to find out,  this coin went from a slow fade to full tilt REKToberfest in just a week, maybe Vorick needs christmas money.  5 sats might not be a crazy target to put orders in. 

is there a way to use wildcards with the SIA renter? I have uploaded some files with foreign characters in the filename and cannot delete them anymore

Sia doesn't compete against 2GB free storage in Dropbox. You must compare how much you will pay for 10TB in Dropbox vs in Sia. Price of the SC currency is totaly independent of the storage price. Sia storage price in $ will be still more or less cheap.

Doesn't this coin need to be extremely cheap to compete with established tech like DROPBOX and others ... which basically offer GBs of cloud space for FREE?!

SIA died. It is time to recognize the reality.
The idea was not bad, something new, but as the practice is unnecessary.
Outlook no.
1 person can do something worthwhile, on the SIA can not be large and profitable project.
By this I do not look for any growth until the coin reaches 5 Satoshi.

Updated chart from coinmarketcap...

31 sats now... thanksgiving day sale looking like a bust, perhaps Sia has a christmas layaway plan?  SC should be 15 sats by then at this rate lol
