Topic: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - page 384. (Read 1382190 times)

Not that it much matters, but one of the main devs for Storj is on the Sia slack channel and is a self professed holder of MAID and SIA. None of them, STORJ included, is dependent of the failure of the others. On the contrary, which is why I hold all three.  I do confess that my main "alt" holding is SIA though.

Anyone else getting HTTP Error 400 with the gpu miner ?

Hey I will take a peek and also I see in the trading thread someone selling at that price, but ya seems a little high nowadays having and knowing the market for Sia. Will scout for a good price, but need to brush up on how to receive and store the fund addresses etc. 

Use to be no one would sell early on.... now they will lol

Great project, thank you!

How can I backup my wallet? SIA UI version 0.4.2, SIA version 0.4.3? There is no wallet.json.
Is the password enough or I need to backup some directory?

Did you check the Sia Trader thread on the Trading forum on Slack? Individuals there post SF for sale regularly. Seems the going price is 10m SC, which to me sounds a lot.

Great!! So then we won't be expecting to hear back from you.

Soonish" is better than never 

Yes Suprnova is my all time favorite pools

Thanks for checking in ocminer!

Soonish 

that's cool, suprnova rulez ;-)

Soon

Taek mentioned a fix coming for the miner. But like mishax1 said, wait for a pool soon and the updated miner. You can still mine using 0.3.3.3 if you must with existing miner.

I wish someone would sell me a Sia Fund or 2 

Just wait for a pool.....     oh.. 

I still can't get the miner to work.. fml

So what's new? and what's your point? maybe they beat Maidsafe to it? but they fall short as well like Storj

Storj is what it is and Sia has its own means of storage and how you pay, and how you can earn money by renting/hosting out that storage. How much can I earn per GH/month by hosting Storj?

Can I share my files publicly using Storj? or upload various file types to sunfish servers with Storj? for others to download and use? or is it only good for storing my junk files on... can my files be used for collaboration with Storj?

Also: can I mine for Storj coins to pay for my hosting? or would I be "forced" to buy coins at market price only... can I use Storj coins for other things?

I just don't see where Storj has anything to offer that compares or even comes close to the potential of Sia.

Storj just doesn't measure up at the end of the day.

Sia will virtually have its own global economy which can be expanded upon, even rival Bitcoin possibly one day as a very reliable and secure form of cyrpto currency.

Ok, good luck with Storj, report back in a year  

Hey Boarders,

Just received a email from Storji, you have heard of them right? Well they beat you to it 

Email extract.

$384,000 Invested from 11 investor's -  Storj brings cloud storage to the Blockchain to make your files cheaper, faster and more secure than services like DropBox and Google Drive

When Bitcoin invented the Blockchain it made it possible for you to own your own money and send it cheaper, faster and more securely than when using a bank. It also gave investors the opportunity to profit from the same privileges that banks and governments have had for decades - the ability to benefit from the profits of newly created money.
 

Now Storj has taken that very same model and applied it to file storage. We all use services like Google Drive, Apple iCloud and Dropbox to store our files and we place a lot of trust in them to keep those files safe and secure, but what if we no longer have to?
 

Storj allows users to store their files encrypted across a decentralised network of computers rather than trusting one company to keep your files safe. This means they can be stored cheaper, faster and more securely as there is no central point of failure. It also means that anybody can rent out their spare hard drive space and get paid for contributing to the network.
 

Storj is the AirBnb of file storage. Qualifying Investors can check out full details about

Clever idea for testing out miners  ...... hopefully a pool soon though.

Thanks Taek, I'll try that!

For testing, you can use a developer build. running `make` will build siad using developer constants, which are designed to be minable with a CPU. For GPU mining you can either modify the RootTarget (found here: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/blob/master/types/constants.go) or just mine a few hundred blocks and let the difficulty adjust on its own. Especially if you are testing stuff, you probably want a high amount of control over things like difficulty and block time. Best way to control that is to manually adjust the constants yourself.
