Storj dev holds +80% of the supply and is now having it's second ICO. Sia is fairly mined, more so than the vast majority of crypto currencies, and it's software seems more stable and I have found it easier to use. Sia is better and that is why it is worth 4-5x the value of Storj right now, Sean seems to be completely missing the point of crypto by centralizing everything and unless he wants to send the majority of his premine to a burn address, he's going to continue to get his ass handed to him by David Vorick, and rightfully so.
If any of you care about moral implications of crypto currency in any way shape or from, the choice here should be obvious.
PS: Sia is developed by Nebulous Labs which is based in Boston, Massachusetts. This an American project and not Asian in any way, no idea where people got that idea, simply because it is listed on Yunbi?
edit: I'll also add that I have seen the Storj dev Sean trolling in the Sia slack channel multiple times, I haven't exactly seen him act professionally there.
`Storj dev holds +80% of the supply` -> that is only because they did not sell all coins in the first ICO in 2014. In this sale an equal amount of coins will also be burned, which lowers the amount of coins they have significantly. Storj will still have coins to pay for community projects and the moderators.
` it's software seems more stable and I have found it easier to use. ` -> the simple answer is No, Sia has way more bugs than Storj at the moment, just have a look at both github pages. Storj is easier to use than Sia, hands-down.
`that is why it is worth 4-5x the value of Storj right now` -> wrong, storj is worth 0.5$, Sia is 0.009$
`Sean`?, do you mean Shawn?,
`seems to be completely missing the point of crypto by centralizing everything ` -> Storj is distributed, not centralized. Distributed systems have a advantage over decentralized systems because they can handle higher loads and have more throughput, this is why Storj is better to corporate use than Sia.
`he's going to continue to get his ass handed to him by David Vorick` -> lol, you know the Storj network is 100x bigger than Sia right?, and that it has 100x more stored data. I am going to make sure it stays that way.
`This an American project and not Asian` -> again, you don't know what you are talking about, Storj Labs is based in Atlanta USA, or is the USA in Asia?.
`I'll also add that I have seen the Storj dev Sean trolling` , His name is Shawn.
