Topic: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - page 64. (Read 1382198 times)

a lot of rumors around coin SIACOIN, but nothing happens. we're drowning in one place when other altcoins are growing. SIACON project is just a nice wrapper and nothing else.  I have been holding coins for more than 16 months and the price has not raised 0.10 cents. I'm disappointed in that coin. Consensus 2018 does not affect SIACOIN, and we need it. we need to advertise our product. sorry for my English. I use a translator.

Lol its too tough to explain all the advances over BCT but sure sia are doing phenomenal work on the coe base and releases...
Waiting for video streaming release that should up the usage

what are the progress of the project?

You can keep your tokens while only on developers ' wallet downloaded from the official SIA page.

Please tell me where can I store my coins SIACOIN except on the official wallet? Maybe there is a mobile app?

Sia will be the successful project, everyone should buy some tokens for long term investment. i have also buy.

Actually doing a comparison between two projects serving or working in two different areas doesn't make sense at first hand. One has strong parties involvement who are providing capital while SIA is based on community and is backed by small investors and businesses. SIA not having that price doesn't put it in inferior to other.

We do not need binance, we need the final product, than SC will have the real value
Untill than, are all speculations
So, dear devs, do your best to finalize the roadmap asap :-)

The Sia team entered into discussions with Binance at least four months ago, that's when Taek(42), a developer and the creator of this thread, posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7pfyjc/brief_update_on_binance.

Three months ago Taek42 said:

Also four months ago:

That comment is still there so either they are still discussing or Taek42 forgot to remove it.

I think not even 1000 messages would impress them in anyway. There are earning several millions a day so it's difficult to make them hear a few voices easily.

we need Binance. let's each of us write in the Binance message. maybe the developers of this coin will see that the people demand dobovleniya on the stock exchange.

What does this mean? How can Antpool "behave destructively" against Sia? Shouldn't the Sia network be robust enough that anyone mining is not going to cause problems? Wouldn't that indicate a problem with Sia network and not with Antpool?

I agree with you, without listing on Binance, SC already have good volume from another exchange. developed new features/update is more important to give more demand for this coin in the future.

This is true. The no fork. IMHO, it is because 1) Obelisk-Tech is not OUT anything..they got these miners out the door as a pre-order with BTC...if they even kept 20% in BTC they

likely are well ahead of the game. Their investment (and whatever profit) on the units are secure.

2) They want ASIC's for the network security..if instead of say (what is like 8,000 sc-1's or something) they can have the Bitmain units work in the same manner with aprox

75,000 Sia units in the world....that works even better for the sia-tech folk on their network...they have even LESS motive to fork...Bitmain has done the work and numbers

for them..they could not pull out themselves....add the LATE Sc-1 units on top of this mix...and IF sia-tech gets the network where it needs to be to use all these ASIC's in

the manner they intend...they will be golden

3) They COULD fork and do the same thing...and again IMHO that would work just as well, because I don't think the extra capacity of the Bitmain units would matter, in that

I doubt they can implement that many units that fast into the network vision anyway....so again, a fork would be plenty of units to get their invisioned network off the ground

but the numbers of ASIC's with Bitmain behind the protocol...well, it will be a LOT and I mean a LOT easier to get BIG TIME INVESTMENT with that under their belt...so again,

IMHO, Bitmain will rule this coin and network as it becomes available...IF the obelisk sc-1's do arrive they MAY have fewer watts (500w vs bitmain 1,350w I think it is)...but

that means they won't fade quite as fast (and this assumes Bitmain won't have a 2nd generation out of these miners at 500 watts also by the time they ship)..so there is that

As an aside, I fully expect that Bitmain will have a Decred Miner out before the Obelisk Decreds ship..if I had to guess I'd say by July 1st, 2018....just a guess...

I have ONE FREE Decred miner (swap'd 5 1/2 price  sc-1 obelisk coupons off to a friend, he got 4 coupons and I got $800 bucks covered..thus free with 5th coupon free unit

...really tried to talk him out of it, but he badly needed equipment deductions etc and was getting 15 decred units 2nd batch, anyway...so I lost that argument)

 ...so at least I will ROI on that maybe...

As to me, I think that I can ROI after electric with equip deductions at my miner income rate on my dubious 5 sc1 miners, ..IF I can make 40% back of the USD price after electric

So the ONLY hope any of us have (or in my case 5 obelisks sc-1's) Is that the network use they plan for these ASIC's work and they ALL can be put to use

Bitmain and Obelisk in a coherent manner....WITH a pretty good plug of Investment in the obelisk-tech firm and the coin..from this all pulling together...we MIGHT squeak by..but their

frigging network storage vision will have to be on task at the same time as these ASIC's hitting in mass...along with some pretty good press...and investment $$$ and also

investment $$ in the siacoin price too boot..or again...I myself will feel.. lucky if I get 40% back over electric and could just then call it wash (or ROI)

compared to paying the tax man last year (2017) and the 25% equipment deduction also from 2017...*yeah...I was that big and need equip deduction that bad*

but again..it is a stretch even on my 'dubious' scenario' above, for any of this in reality to happen....so heck ...perhaps after above I'll likely really be looking at full 25% loss...

But no, they ain't gonna fork ..no way...they have like 8x the ASIC miners they expected.....for their network vision....bet on that if nothing else...NO fork possible...

We pre-ordered..they are covered on equipment...the real test is IF they can get their network vision storage up to speed with all these ASIC's in the wings...that is

what is gonna determine if any of us even get close to ROI'ing on the Obelisk's or the Bitmain units....without that ....all the ASIC's of this algo and siacoin are 'doorstops'

anyway, what do I know at one time I drank the BFL kool-aid in 2013...but how I'm seen my 5 units of obelisk sc-1 doorstops currently

later

Do not compare the siacoin with Ripple because Ripple is one of the best finance coins so far besides Bitcoin and Siacoin it is a coin for data storage.
These two coins have different platforms and newborn Siacoin in 2015 while Ripple is from 2012.

Not that easy to get on there but I think Sia would really deserve it. In good times there is also very strong trading volume.

There is not going to be any hardfork.

The whole story is that the Obelisk miners (manufactured by a subsidiary company of the Core developers) a few days ago revealed the preliminar tests on the units, and sadly the specs could be a 30% bellow the expected. As the mining network is already flooded by miners of 3 companies, by the time Obelisks are delivered their profitability will be very low (so all that speech about "doorstoppers")

The buyers of Obelisk are in rage and are pressing really hard the developing team to fork the mining algorithm of the network to invalidate every miner but Obeliks. Some buyers are going as far as considering the fork as inevitable or consider it a proven fact, I guess in hopes of shaping the reality by describing a different one.

... but the reality is that the Core team is not going to fork the network: they are stating every day that this is no reason to provoke a contentious fork, and that the decision of not forking is firm unless Bitmain/Antpool starts to behave destructively against Sia (something that can't currently happen as the hashrate of Antpool is <15%)

Lol some people have no patience... SIA is a slow horse but a good one. One of the leading technology in blockchain right now, just have to look at the github code to see the pace of development

Of course needs more adoption, instead of Binance listing for short term pump SIA needs people using it for storage.
IMO the marketing must improve

The only fork discussion I'm aware of was the one that happened back when Bitmain released their miner, the team's statement was "if the network is being attacked by Bitmain then we'll soft fork". Unless I missed something, all seems okay so far. I don't know what doorstop is, I only see mentions of it in Searing's posts and some yours that reply to them, what is it? Anyway, as long as nothing is mentioned in the official communication channels, I think not much importance should be given to unbacked info. For me, such info doesn't even qualify as a rumor.

Siacoin is coin longterm, patience is the key. So only people who are patient can get profit from this coin.
About listing in Binance it seems developers will think hard because for listing to Binance need a fee $ 500k and that does not make sense, I think that's money is better used for development of this coin.
