how many tokens?

It was one of first coins I bought after entering crypto, but theyre now facing some serious competition:

https://clearfoundation.co.nz/

I would like to see again the same growth of Sia as last year, if there will be a good development perhaps we will see it

I think so. Looks like Sia is already forgotten at the top. Maybe this is the time to buy and wait until altcoin market makes another bullish trend. If Bitcoin remains steady like this for a long time then alts should start moving up.

we are on BUY now limits :-)
good to rebuy some more 

Sia 50 cents soon

it is indeed interesting, the price will rise soon......

Looks VERY interesting

india added Sia! and in the end the price never went up! I would kick ass team Sia. assholes!

Wonderful to have Sia Coin Devs communicating here to keep things straight and help everyone. Great future for this team/project.  

I do not get what the whole debate is with the bitmain miners. As was pointed out above, this should not affect the network, it could only make the security stronger?

There are talks about a UASF, but isn't it up to the miners? If enough previous miners (hash power) do not go along with it, or if there are a lot of bitmain equipment miners, then the UASF should not be successful. Wouldn't it take 51% of hash power for a UASF to be successful?

The other competitors have barely any working product. Sia works already yet is still being developed and more news will come in 2018, including new miners.
I think with asic mining we can expect price to grow nicely over the next few months

Now its the time for Sia to moon bcoz now the BTC will be steady in sometime, and then these alts will moon.....

Yeah, but Sia has a head start, so I wouldn't worry to much.
Plus, some competition will only force the developers to work harder

We just published our Community Update for February. Read along here:

I was mistaken...did not know the network was up at least in the manner you stated..the asic question was the worth with NO network yet ..of note anyway...thus my question

is also moot..in that there IS a network in play already.



by the by did everyone ever get their minebox from last summer ...I assume they are still being used on the network as such? Might get one as a "TOY" to play with..(i mine

badly need equip deductions from the biz for equipment..)

anyway, thanks for the heads up

Those small transactions are just wallet auto-defragmentation: you might have multiple addresses containing balances and the wallet merges them into a single address to facilitate future expending. Each time the wallet defragmentates, is a transaction in the network, and those -0.088SC are the fees for that transaction.


The storage network has been working since day 1 of the blockchain, for the last 2 years and half. Currently it consists on more than 4 Petabytes across almost 900 hosts in 58 countries (https://www.siastats.info/hosts_network). Core developers keep working on improving the protocol and the client. For instance version 1.3.1 released 2 months ago increased the upload speeds to more than 50Mbps and version 1.3.2, that will be released in a few days, will improve the downloads speed and reliability: beta testers are reporting consistently average download speeds above 50Mbps too.

The release date of Obelisks will be June or before. There are good chances they can be delivered sooner than expected, but there is not yet official confirmations on this

I don't see your point about the effect of ASICs being responsible of downtrends in the coin price: on every coin where ASICs have been deployed (Scrypt coins like Litecoin, Dash...) the coin price has increased in the end, probably because the increased security provides confidence in the network, and because the cost of the hardware gets tied to the value of the mined coins

Have not kept track ..but does anyone know if Sia-Tech folk are "on track" with the 'decentralized storage' aspect of Siacoin ...that HOPEFULLY will be available

WHEN their obelisk miners hit in June? (I think it is June now?) ....gonna really suck to have a mess of obelisks with the biitmain units sitting about pumping out

siacoin...without this network....(remember the ASIC's in 2013 knc titans.that did scrypt-n coins (think there were 12) ASIC resistant....they destroyed the value

of all the coins in a week. (viacoin moved protocols..I think it was viacoin) and destroyed all value of those coins in a week....bye, bye scrypt-N..)

sh*t happens

anyway, any info on above?

Sia is the very first project that I learned after bitcoin and ether, but it seems to me that it will no longer be in demand, given how many competitors are now on the market ...

Can i ask you. How reliable is the purse from Sia?
