Hi all, Only explain my point of view. I´ve read last opinions, I disagree about some afirmations of the last posts, like "other 10 alternatives", no many improvements about sia, etc. With all respect I think that the sia proyect has a future, well... others have some features but are in many cases the proyect is new or with low real use.
sia is growing, with real proyects, now you can pay with fiat easily to suscribe storage services much much cheaper than other alternatives like amzn, can be check online sia cloud price fast. The used storage increases slow month by month, the stats are public on Internet.
For other side sia has a good volume of trade, with liquidity to maintain the mining network. I think too what with one strategic partner like big company, public organization, army, state or similiar would be more easy bring the proyect to other level. Self-replicating and privacy focus is a good avantage too, others dont have this posibility. For many uses is enought with the sia capacities.
Well, the future of sia I think depend on how to will be adapt to the future, but It is a good position for start, with dominance position inside their market.
Long life SIA!
Would be nice to see this from other than a 'newbie' account (sorry, just saying)
Again, show me the decentralized storage network I can build and make a profit on or at least show me some SC1 or SC2 boards out there that a person can run in the now 'defunct'
DCR1 miners.....they are showing no movement on anything, be it Sia-Tech (equip) or Siacoin (use) or Sia-decentralized network.
ie...deafening silence..they also admit they owe me around $600 from their promised 'compensation' for SC1 units being late...but also said in an email that they will only
pay such if they show a 'profit' this year. I am hardly encouraged.
(copy of that email should be in this thread yet unless they deleted it)
So it goes FUD/Dismay on our lack of trust/ then blamo ...for companies like this in the USA....bankruptcy! I still expect a Butterfly labs outcome where they devs/owners
walk away free and clear of any BTC or $$$ returned. The project seems to be the Siacoin project ...is a dead man walking.. has just not 'tipped over dead' yet.
Project is indeed 'toast"
