What's the real purpose immediately?

You can store any file on a decentralized storage network for next to nothing.

 $2.5M is ridiculously stupid for this coin but hey it has been done before!

Thanks for the vote of confidence  Smiley

Why do you think that $2.5M is not justified? Imho we are substantially more interesting than Dash, Litecoin, Bitshares, Banxshares, Monacoin, and a handful of others passed the $2.5M market cap. Sia is cryptocurrency with really strong fundamentals. If we leverage those fundamentals properly we will get very far.

All those coins are artificially pumped so the value is not real. Unless SIA has a huge pumper it is next to impossible. Although it might be very interesting to you, the real demand for this coin is probably less than $5,000.
I think your wrong on that. SIA has a real purpose immediately. Other uses could come later. Its not just another shitcoin for pumping and dumping.

You can learn a lot by reading a couple of pages of this thread.

You must be new to this thread or something lol not going to waste my time.

EDIT: Sia is not even an Alt coin, so either read up or go back to your Altcoin world  Wink

What are your predictions about future price?

Currently SIA market cap value = 250k$ when price is around 0.00000025BTC per SIA

This will easily raise to 2,5M$ market cap and beyond so at least 10 times of current value.

It's not a promise it's working fully and developing at fast speed. Decentralized cloud platform.

Easily? Are you crazy or do you know a pumper? Oh wait, you are wanting to dump for a multi-million dollar market cap  Grin

Devs are dumping?

Some early miners don't worry about it. I mined 14Million SIA the first day  Grin

So you understand some is tempted to take profits now.

File storage is working today in the 0.3.3.3 client. We are in a phase of rapid development and improving on many of Sia's features. Every month there are significant improvements to the sia infrastructure.

We're really proud of what we've built so far, and really proud of what we think Sia will become in the next few months.

does this mine on windows?  

sorry im a bit busy with stuff but u got my interest which is good already Wink

Yes, you can mine with windows. I recommend using the 1.0.2 miner on their github.

I don't see a windows build there.  Just linux and mac.

Excellent progress team!! Getting really excited here  Wink

So #8 With the release of version 0.4.0 it is possible to build a youtube style service? 5GB max filesize for the time being is really enough for all youtube content even 4K this is really awesome!

Perhaps we the community should setup a bounty for such an app? Surely we can get enough donations for a nice bounty for someone to code that and your team to review and approve it? Taek how much you estimate roughly in days would it take someone to code that?

Depends on how ambitious you are in setting up the website. Youtube does a lot of stuff like machine learning, and has accounts etc. Making a full YouTube clone would take ages, and require many engineers.

But if you just want to be able to stream videos that people link you, it might only take a few weeks. I'm not sure. These projects do tend to take longer than first guess though.

The API right now is still under construction for the renting. I am sorry for that. There is still a lot of work to do, but we are working hard to prioritize the right things and build up the important parts of Sia as fast as possible.

How many sia has each siafund received to date?

Storage is virtually free right now. Because siafunds depend on storage costing money, siafunds have yielded virtually no siacoins. In the coming month, I think that's going to change. The exact number is around 0.17 siacoins per siafund.  Smiley

How, exactly, do I host a file though?

There is an upload button in the ui. Ui can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/tag/v0.3.3.3-beta

We hope to have an update to the UI in the next few days.


Hashrate seems to be spiking again we are closing 1 TH/s. Is the pool up and running already? haven't found block in a while solomining...

As far as I know, there is no pool. It's quickly becoming a top priority for me, but there are some other things (like siafunds, and a 'Sia watch folder') that I feel really need to be done first. Thanks for being patient though.
