The supply curve does not really favor buying SIA at the moment unfortunately. Looks like we will see sub 10 satoshi again.
is there a way to download the chain from a bootstrap or something its taking ages and im not even close to 20% of chain

Yeah, a buggy release candidate will be out later this week. Then we will spend the next 2-3 weeks working through the rough stuff, and release something more production grade in early May

Would it be possible to make a Synology and/or QNAP app to run a node / share storage / earn SIA?
I have followed this project since the beginning and am confident that the team is not about to run off with the loot

Is there any luck for a Sia mining pool yet? Difficulty is too high to solo mine
I started working on a mining pool and got the basic framework down but it currently does not payout or track much for worker performance.
Without a direct incentive to continue working on it I've been redirected towards other projects, I hope to get back and work on the mining pool again soon tm
lol. Number of commits is not a measure of progress. Did you miss our beta release last weekend?
You announced that Storj is joining Azure as BaaS. Can you provide an Azure's official link for this announcement? I can't find it anywhere online.
I also couldn't find anything on either Azure github repository for their templates. Although isn't this question better asked in the StorJ thread than here?

I tried beta and I'm saying it's awesome! After Storj the best cloud file hosting platform. One of the best investments. So cheap... I predict x3-x5 price will up soon.
Can I ask why you place it after StorJ?
Can't make Sia better if they don't know what's "wrong" with it.
You must improve pr and marketing. More updates. That's all. I think Sia and Storj are going to be first really working crypto storage for masses. My friend will buy 10 BTC of SIA today. Cheap coins. Real bargain.
I agree about PR and marketing... but the thing is - Sia has updates all the time! There were two commits under 24h ago on the main Sia repo. I would rather them work more on having a product to hype than hyping something half-done.

The "buy $850-worth of SJCX to participate" beta? How do you justify that when you sit on 90% of the pre-generated SJCX?
I did not mention mining. I meant that 500m SJCX were initially created, 50m sold/distributed so 450m remains under your control ("locked" as you say). If you want to, however, those funds *can* be "unlocked" at any time. Correct me if I am wrong.
He was referring to the fact that SJCX is a locked counterparty asset, which means there can never be more than 500 m SJCX total http://blockscan.com/assetInfo/SJCX.
Regarding the ~450m SJCX, they are in a multisig address and are currently being slowly released by Storj Labs as rewards for beta testers that are sharing their disk space on storj. So far there have been 9 payout rounds in test group B and there will be more in the upcoming test group C.
Please feel free to join the Storj Community slack https://storj.io/community.html if you´d like to discuss this further; we are having an open discussion between community members and Storj team members about what those remaining funds should be used for in the future.

Just an FYI, the mac qt is buggy; doesn't open properly once the app has been minimized, and takes up much more system resources than any other qt wallets I have installed on my computer.
Any plans to update this soon?

There is no QT wallet for Sia.
Sia uses a framework by the name Electron which is a fancy desktop wrapper around Chromium, it should require just about as much system resources as opening a couple of tabs in Google Chrome. What do you consider to be excessive in terms of system usage?
As for the minimization issue I can't offer any assistance as I don't have a Mac, perhaps another can chime in who may be able to help.
It does consume relatively much RAM - about 1.5 GB on Windows, maybe the Mac version does the same. Also starting the wallet and unlocking it fully loads one CPU core for about 10 minutes. I suppose that has something to do with the blockchain database being verified and loaded into memory.
Also the dev told that they focus mainly on the backend part now and will fix the UI bugs later. It's still in beta.
