Well lads, I've been watching this coin for the last several months. The Siacoin concept and technology is amazing. It's popped in and out of the top 15 of trade volume for the last few months and has made almost 1000% since it first debuted three quarters ago.
They're coming out with their 1.0 update anytime today and speculators are freaking out about the potential.
What do you famanon?
Sia Tech
@SiaTechHQ
A few things came up during the final checks, we need a few more hours. More info to come
>>1344550
nice try anon, but we both know it won't go up
they just said 10 minutes ago on twitter that they need a few more hours to get everything perfect for today's release.
im definitely going in. it is a working, functional product that can help solve problems on both sides of the transaction. it is the most revolutionary move in cloud storage possibly to date.
SC to the moon...yes.
>>1344566
i dont know about october but over the next week, i definitely expect a green up arrow and i'll have to watch them develop and see if they can step up their PR game because it's a pretty cool thing they offer and a pretty cheap coin.
gotta gotta keep an eye on these things. a lot of people probably dont know they should've moved their ether to SC a couple hours ago. but that's how it goes sometimes.
>>1344587
>>1344587
Yeah totally, I'm not sure what I think about it long-term. Reading through their info and interviews, them offering a secondary currency sounds like it would kill value long-term. But short-term over the next few months, I think it's capable of doing some good things. It's probably the most sophisticated and well engineered coin project I've come across so far.
I still think ETH has a lot of potential too but I sold 90% of my holdings a few weeks ago for a nice little profit.
>>1344605
i dumped all my eth on the market this morning when people started tweeting about soft fork vulnerability possibilities and the price dropped down to like 13.60 now it's down to around 12 bucks. but that idea, the decentralized world computer, has longevity. with eth specifically or without them.
SC is the play of the day though I do agree with you on that for sure.
can't wait to see what happens with the 1.0 release!
>>1344616
Yeah man. I don't see any other good short-term buys at the moment with the halving in six or seven days. Too much risk in that short term. I'm hoping SC has a nice increase in the next few days. Sell half my SC holdings for BTC right before halving. And then re-evaluate.
That's a best case scenario.
>>1344616
They fill different roles in the market, and have different purposes. I think both have a future, but there's a lot to be decided yet, for both platforms.
siacoin is totally gonna be a boon for kiddie porn, tho. Just sayin'.
>>1344765
Good thing or bad thing for price? I would think having to buy contracts would deter pedos?
>>1344765
the person sending the data can still be compelled to give up their encryption keys. unless they lose them i guess.
but everybody uses storage. some people and companies use a lot. and true, some people want things stored elsewhere for sure.
>>1344782
is the contract tied to your wallet account only? If so, it would be easy to buy the contracts using an account set up anonymously, I'd assume. I don't actually know what it takes to set up a wallet, I only know what's in the whitepaper.
Best investment I ever made. I can't wait for 1.0 to come out.
There's currently like 20 BTC of sell orders walling off any real progress. Once I see those disappear I'd consider it
To the moon people, just put 1.6 BTC into SC.
Was this the correct thing?
Oh my fucking god every single time I come back, every single time, there's some new zero-substance shitcoin being shilled by the resident NEET.
Do you have any fucking shame you filthy poorfag?
>>1345013
>decentralized storage
>zero substance
>>1345013
A poor neet wouldnt have money to pump or invest. One might even think you're the poorfag who is too poor to ride this money train.
Read up on it... plenty of info out there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO2AITSLUBU
zero-substance shitcoins are the bitcoin clones that do nothing but the same old thing bitcoin does (but with less reach) aka pass around a looooong accounting ledger.
some new blockchain technologies are occasionally innovative technologies.
>>1345008
yeah i think it was the right move.
>>1345044
>zero-substance shitcoins are the bitcoin clones that do nothing but the same old thing bitcoin does
Pretty much.
Sia is fighting to get 30 million TB of storage that is up for grabs. While every other alt is trying to fight for the hill where bitcoin has been deemed king, Sia looks for a new hill and fortune. It's quite possible that Sia might overtake bitcoin itself in terms of market cap in the next few years.
This new update has been a long time coming.
I hope it doesn't dump. It went down 10 satoshis in 5 seconds.
>>1345113
It's fine. It's just two people who dumped hard.
Can we get a /cyrpto/ board? Stuff like just shits up the catalog
>>1345149
stuff like this*
>>1345143
I don't know why people would sell right before the big important update.
>>1345178
because nobody wants to be left holding the bag. if they see a predict incoming sells. because of a number or chatter in the poloniex chat box or anything else.
>>1344550
totally new too cryptocurrency. How do I buy coins.
Do I have to download the app and let them use my storage space?
>>1345216
Use circle or localbitcoins to purchase btc with USD.
You'll store it in a wallet, which is a certain long string of characters that's your address. You send someone money by sending it from your wallet's address to their address.
Electrum is recommended wallet as it's lightweight. The official btc wallet will have you download the entire public chain which is like 5GB and takes a while to sync.
You don't need a wallet on your PC, however, you could just send it to your exchange account's wallet. It's just less secure if you're going to be holding large amounts.
>>1345214
Correction of 12AM (midnight tonight) not PM
OH MY GOD I want to buy SIA coins but a USD deposit to buy btc takes a day and I'm afraid SIA is gonna go through the roof when the 1.0 version is released. Now I can't buy SIA on time and I'm gonna shoot myself if I got into this thing late. All I have are trumpcoins, should I convert them into SIA
>>1345258
you could buy from paxful or a bitcoin atm if one was near you but i know with the paxful option you'll probably pay as much in the higher convenience price as we're gonna make tonight when siacoin goes up 20-40% tonight
Man, look at the trade history people are loading up on SIA on Poloneix. Definitely going to hold for 72 hours and see what happens.
>>1345283
Host down when I want to buy. If this shit takes off to the moon im offing myself
>>1345025
>>1345044
>One might even think you're the poorfag who is too poor to ride this money train
Its the fact that I'm the opposite of poor, that is the reason why I'm not involved in dead-end shitcoins, why would anyone with money be shilling shitcoins? We all know you're the NEET, you have absolutely no fucking shame.
Nobody here is a techie by any stretch of the imagination. It looks like you all just constantly refresh Bitcointalk or some other crypto forum waiting for some dev to announce something, scrape barely enough information to shill it here while looking competent to the other retarded plebs then advertise the pump and get out at an appropriate time.
Its a fucking cycle, it happens every couple weeks, something new and revolutionary apparently comes along which is glorified, then never heard of again. Anybody who actually understand anything in tech or crypto knows Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only things wit influence, fundamentals and traction in the real world. Who do you seriously think you're fooling? I bet I've spoke to you before, I must have, you've shilled at least 5 other altcoins before I remember that way of talking. I mean both of you if you're not the same person from a phone on cellular and a computer.
You're either working for or are too dumb to realize all alt-shit is made by the same group of devs who've made literally hundreds of shitcoins.
Why do you guys think it's going to moon when there's well over 100 btc of sell orders preventing this from going over 193?
Sia Tech
@SiaTechHQ
A few things came up during the final checks, we need a few more hours. More info to come.
>>1345320
1800+ in BTC volume in 24 hours period not counting when the hype train hits in the next 72 hours.
>>1345321
tick tock. guess i'll watch a movie or something and keep the charts up on the side...
i'm ready for this SC moon trip though
>>1345316
You still haven't explain how Sia is a shitcoin.
>>1345316
of course it's cyclical you moron. if we were just trying to get in on the ground floor of a longterm project, we would keep that mostly to ourselves and work on acquiring as much as possible.
do you know what day trading is? do you know how prices are affected by news and product releases? hype trains and product releases are for dealing with it short term. any investment would need to be evaluated for longterm merit independently of what would make it spike for a night or a week or a few hours.
the more people that buy and promote it the higher it will go in the next few hours after the release. then you leave when you want; that is the way it goes. you buy the hype because the hype and buys are what makes it go up.
if you dont have enough money to where a 25% increase in one night would help you (like if you only had 10 dollars, you wouldnt care much about 2.50) then i understand exactly where you're coming from and I hope your mom empties out your piss bottles before you over-fill them later.
>>1344550
market anon here:
i posted this months ago pic related
at this point i might cash out, its hard to say, buy rumor and sell on news.
After the dip id buy back in , it could moon, however it could also just go down. This i dont know but pic related was an obvious sign
>>1345393
also posted this a couple days ago
now all i need to do is listen to my own advice kek
>>1345395
Anon is there a forum or a board you post on or follow? I wish to learn more from you and your sources.
>>1345407
Not being sarcastic, I've followed your posts on here and want to learn more.
>>1345393
>i posted this months ago pic related
Still eternally grateful.
>>1345407
nope lone wolf here
i just look for patterns and research
I also like to share to help others out
Im not sure how much higher nxt will go at this point
I started off with faucets, got to 10k satoshi and started trading, a year ago
Best thing i ever did was make my mistakes with 100k satoshi and learn ,rather then thousands of dollars.
>>1345393
>buy rumor and sell on news.
Also, buy the rumor sell on the news only works when you don't know if something is coming out or not. This is more waiting to see if the product released is good or not.
If it's good, it'll fly, if it doesn't, it'll dip/dump.
>>1345430
yeah thats where it gets me nervous, those days i either increase my stack of slowly end up with less, either way ive learned to take profit when i have it and be happy
Sia Tech
@SiaTechHQ
.@will1hardworker @JuanDFacundo no still today, should have said 12AM. We're testing now, hoping it won't take too long anymore..
>>1345432
What was it about SIA and NXT that tipped you off they were going to moon?
I swapped my ethereum for sia yesterday. With no news of new ethereum crowdsales, Im thinking this will get attention because its the first blockchain to offer something besides just "another currency". Even better, they beat out amazon and Google (who haven't said much in the way of blockchain) prices by a at least a factor of 3. If they can pull this off it will be huge, especially if it allows people to host illegal things online without repercussions.
Their project on github is basically done right now, just waiting for the release.
The team finished 1.0 but are working on the code and exe to get it working for causal people (idiots like me)
>when the price tanks but u don't care 'cause you believe In the coin and you're not on margin
It's out.
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/releases/tag/v1.0.0
>>1345438
Well first it was research:
> i like what sc had to offer
>bought at 15 sold at 30
>saw an ascending triangle pattern bought at 30 again
Nxt
>back when i had only some btc and doge from faucets i liked it but never bought in
>saw some news about it
>saw it going up
>shit shit i missed it hmm i see a bullish pennant forming
>buy in at 2600
honestly its a combination of good tech, news, rumors, and patterns.
when it comes to random pump n dumps its harder to say
i almost scored 2000% profit from expanse but went to work instead
NEM i noticed at 50 satoshi, i loved the tech, loved it was coded from scratch and the fact is was made by a Japanese man, sadly i sold at 400.
If i could quit my day job and leave my family to focus i would not miss out as much.
research, research research my friend
so far all of my favorites are moving
i persoanlly never ever got into eth
top kek i bought in once and said nope sold for something else, hours later eth it was hacked, i thank god for that one
>>1345504
what do you reckon might be the next alternative to get pumped?
what is the max this coin will ever get to?
welp it's out.
time to kill mysef
see ya guys
>>1345519
here a list of what i liked since jan, and a couple since may
>xem
>sc
>dgb
>lsk
>nxt
now when lsk and dgb will hit idk
im waiting on rumors, news and patterns, so far its no certainty
those random PnD are a shot in the dark, ive scored on qora and others before but thats a risk
so the next one?
>idk
but i like what dgb is showing and my finger is on the trigger to buy, im currently trying to accumulate btc to buy more of both, but dont bet on it yet
I actually have been doing heavy thinking and research of where crypto should be taken too, and if i could come up with a good team to help i have some ideas that can be huge, i just need some anons to help
>>1345556
reporting in chief
>>1345493
Anybody downloaded it yet? I am synching right now, the UI looks cosy as fuck
>>1345534
Don't worry, I doubt it will go to the moon so fast, you should be able to catch up
>>1345556
>im waiting on rumors, news and patterns, so far its no certainty
let us know when you get a good tip. Personally I am starting to get obsessed with cryptos. Not sure if it's a good thing or not. I agree that those show promise, although I am skeptical about dgb.
> i just need some anons to help
I am no developer or PhD brainiac, but if I can give a hand anyway I would be glad to do so.
What do you think about FCT? I think that has a lot of promise too. Also nobody is shilling it even if it keeps going up recently, which is a good sign it is legit.
>>1345569
I never really looked into it honestly. i might just to see what it has to offer
Have you looked into DGB news and community at all?
They actually have some interesting things to offer, if anything at all its a nice way to double my coins at some point
>also
i forgot to mention sometimes i day trade, which is risky, ive made some serious gains and losses this way.
Stay obsessed and learn, but one thing of advise if you find your self slowly losing your assets, stop, walk away, do some yard work, or something, come back with a logical attitude
>>1345569
>UI looks cosy as fuck
Is it just text based? I only see siad and siac.
>>1345534
you might be lucky on this one anyway. not much action (yet anyway). a more vocal hype and colluded pumping is a lot more effective
>>1345258
iktf
bitcoin coming in tomorrow
;-;
>>1345591
the UI is here:
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases
>>1345583
>Have you looked into DGB news and community at all?
Not much, but it put me off the fact that they announced partnership with Microsoft, gave that super hyped speech and yet it didn't moon at all. If that doesn't trigger a race to the moon, I don't know what will 2bh. I sitll think it's a good idea though, just not as revolutionary as SC.
>i forgot to mention sometimes i day trade, which is risky, ive made some serious gains and losses this way.
I have tried doing that but I am a noob and ended up hodling too long and losing whatever I had earned. Didn't lose much at all, but I could have doubled the value of my coins and I didn't. I get better everyday though, I guess it's all a matter of practice and experience.
>if you find your self slowly losing your assets, stop, walk away
Yeah, I have already come up with ways to at least cut my losses if I fuck up, and ways to avoid fucking up. I am a fast learner, but sometimes I just stop thinking about it and clear my head.
>>1345583
I have another question. DId you look into Plutus? Their ICO expires on the 30th. I am undecided whether I should put some money into it, it looks promising.
>>1345598
Use circle
I just downloaded the SC app...
...it's actually really impressive and a cool idea.
No bullshit, this is a really sweet idea.
>>1345697
THAT'S WHY I HAVE 200K SIACOINS MY FRIEND!!!111!!111!!!1!!!1!
really though, the app is quite impressive.
I wonder if there's a way we could get this in the hands of the dark and black hat communities? If this thing gets adopted and word of mouth love from people doing sketchy shit, this thing will take off.
jesus christ how long does it take to deposit btc on poloniex? its my first deposit there btw...
>>1345749
in the meanwhile you can download the software and synch the blockchain, which takes quite a long time
>>1345742
By the way, here's the place to download the app and check it out.
http://sia.tech/
>>1345663
thank you friend
Bought in a few hundred thousand coins just before release, definitely going to hold for a long period and hope for the best.
i would buy some now if poloniex would ever send me a damn confirmation email
>>1345842
only 55k here, doing the same tho
i don't think they're doing enough marketing, but i feel that within the next months and up to a year its really gonna take off
I have some serious doubts about this crypto. It is a nice concept, but I have a feeling it will remain in the novelty phase. The renting prices keep going down ($1/TB is the competitive price), and there's 88 TB of free space available. Too much space and not enough demand. There's very little ROI for farmers. I think I'll just wait for MAIDSAFE.
Did anyone buy in when it was around $.00002?
Would have made quite a nice investment by now.
The pump has just started.
>>1345896
nice must feel good about that investment
>>1345870
>look at all these fantastic features, already available for you
>fuck that, not good enough, wait for something inferior to come out in the future
>>1345934
MAID is the ideal candidate for the expression 'having eyes bigger than your stomach'.
Im guessing this is more of a long hold? Where do we see the ext few resistance points?
>>1345949
Hard to say honestly, since it keeps going up.
Someone posted their initial experiences using SIA app.
https://steemit.com/sia/@java1959/sia-coin-cloud-storage-releases-version-1-0-0-rent-your-unused-hard-drive-space
very nice software
it cost $11 to buy 10 GB for 6 months, so a 500 GB hard drive is worth over $1000 per year at these prices. It looks like the money went to a lot of different people.
another issue is that the uploads progress bar isnt accurate, because I was able to download the file before it finished uploading
we need to develop a plugin that lets people download music/games/movies from other host contracts for like $0.05. Then sia could torrents because no one has to seed anything.
the coin's price was supposed to go up after they released their update, but its gone down instead. what's up with that? bad reviews or someone just panic dumped?
>>1346228
Releasing in the dead of night probably didn't help, the price hasn't fluctuated at all really since it came online.
>>1346230
well it was at 147 this morning, and is currently at 137 on poloniex
>>1345870
>I think I'll just wait for MAIDSAFE.
MaidSafe is interesting, but has an entirely different target audience and set of claims. They do not compete, so don't use it as a reason not to buy Sia.
>>1346255
sc next stop at 80
>>1346228
People expected it to go up, so it didn't.
just dumped my 10mil sia lel
will buy back in after it's settled down however
>>1344550
Yuck, that's not what I was hoping for. Guess I'll ride this fucker into the basement and hopefully can stay in until the next pump.
This is so fucked
It was pretty autistic of them to release it at midnight last night while stringing people along all day.
I was so pumped for this day and now it's over. I've lost all I can afford at this point. I suck at this shit it's time to quit
>>1346354
Well, they did say they would release it on the 28th and they did.
Lisk showing signs of up trend
ascending triangle forming it appears to be
not 100% about this one, but its about time it shows some lift, make your own choices, dont base it on my word even though ive been right about other things and even when to sell, with that said, happy trading
also dgb is moving a bit too, for my sake i hope it waits for me
well I bought 0.1btc worth, I really like the concept- my friend was talking about it way back when Ethereum was born
>>1346711
could be a bearish pennant, time to wait and see the pattern taking shape or not
will update if needed
>>1346711
very interesting. I think you're onto something. It has been very slowly but steadily rising for 12 hours more or less
>>1346821
there is some fud about a bug that says in 6 hours the online wallet can be cracked, but i checked and a brute force attack would take 1,055,930,360,894,671,030,370,629,015,154,061,914,346,233,607,014,041,704,180,215,805,072,535,223,244,563,677,184.00 days
based on a word list im not sure, let me see
>>1346711
Dgb's volume is what's keeping me from putting money in at the moment, I've heard talk about it on here a couple more times (not sure if from you). Lsk is a possibility, no clue
>>1344550
I'm glad we finally found a pretty safe floor as I was contemplating how much weight my ceiling beams could hold this morning.
>>1346932
I was hoping that we would stay at around 130-150.
>>1346875
DGB's volume has gone up by about 50% in the last day. Still not impressive but I think InvestBro was correct about it being a great pick.
Bought at 150 for 1000 euro... Fuck my life.
It's alright... R-right guys?
Looks like dgb is going now kek
>>1344550
>not Trump coin
it's like you guys want to be poor
1.0 update, time to buy the Dip
https://twitter.com/SiaTechHQ/status/748181626279104512
>>1347285
FUCK! i was so close to buying dbg at like 55 this morning, but figured i'd wait. Hopefully it goes above 70...
>>1344550
Holy shit InvestBro, you nailed that DGB pump.
>>1347336
In at 55, out at 67.
Praise Investbro.
Probably should have waited to see if the kick in trade volume would drive the price to ludicrous prices but after getting my teeth kicked in on SIA this morning, I'll gladly take my 25% and properly fuck off.
>>1347401
i know this feel
bought lisk with the meager btc i have left.
just going to wait it out.
looks like some early investors/adopters are taking profits and selling off hard. no other explanation for the price movement with the news and speculation. looks like a large dump for sure. i'd be careful with SC guys.
http://bravenewcoin.com/news/decentralized-cloud-storage-sia-launches-version-1-0-with-full-functionality/
Looks like sia had a good 10-15 Satoshi jump. Maybe it's time for a little pump?
>>1348207
Nice! This is looking like a bretty great day boys.
>>1347401
honestly all i can say is look at the charts, buy low, hold and wait for gains and sell, sometimes its slow, and you miss out on other pumps, but its worth it.
>>1348413
Have you looked at FCT? I see a little bit of what you're talking about, lower and lower lows making that triangle. But I am a noob
>>1348407
Yes..! riiise, riiiiise!
>>1348414
I like the looks of it, but what do I know. I wish I bought last night instead of towards the peak this morning before work.
Average price has been steady all day but it has those upward triangles, I'm in for at least tonight
>>1345608
>the UI is here:
>https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases
Thanks anon that is pretty sleek. Despite being skeptical this one I'm definitely interested in. Reminds me a lot of this program called IPFS that does basically the same thing storage wise, but without the coin and incentive aspect.
>>1348488
It seems to look like it's just about to break out now. Let's hope for the best
I think you were right about LISK man. Just did some research and spent some time reading about it. Liked it enough to throw some change at it. It does look like it's in slow accumulation right now some whale.
i'm hearing about an imminent drop for SC boys
it'll come back up but might be worth playing the wave
proud of you /biz/, yeah Sia is going places
https://minebox.io/ is building their product on top of Sia
>>1348935
>Sia is going places
when tho
>>1349094
as soon as you sell
>>1349133
;^)
>>1345149
Your already in it mate 8^)
Do you guys expect Ethereum to dip due to the hardfork? I might buy into Ethereum by then. I'm holding on to my sia for now.
>>1349261
yes if it is released all at once. it costs $6 for the average person to mine so theres a long way to fall.
I like ethereum. Its why i became interested in crypto. Still, im not so far gone that I think the price wont drop if 3 million ether suddenly becomes liquid.
>>1350004
correction: >10 million ether
>>1350066
I see, thanks for the answer man! Ethereum is what got me interested as well, was lucky enough to avoid the first big dip, but then lost 30% on the second one due to the dos-threat. Sucks.
Why did no one tell me about Filecoin and Storj?
Is Sia better than those two?
>>1352140
File coin is a dead and abandoned project. Hasn't been updated in years
Storj is also good. Best thing to do is go 50% in SC and 50% in SJCX
>>1352750
cool, thats exactly what i did
>>1352772
I'm encouraged Sia seems to have found it's floor in the low 100s. Give it a week or two for speculators to get emotional about it and I think it'll slowly climb and then moon as we get closer to their S3 announcement in October.
lol
you guys are so hopeful
>>1348585
agree. It's value is in line with the valuation of BTC, so it has definitley hit its equilibrium.
I strongly believe that once this ethereum debacle is over, lisk will follow.
>>1352140
Filecoin is dead.
Storj is less developed than sia and is all premined. The devs are holding onto 90% of all the coins and can dump at any time they feel like it and bail.
Sia on the other hand, holds nothing, and only gets its money if the ecosystem flourishes with siafunds.
Sia is the better coin, has better staff and will be first to become big.
Sia is also the first to have come out of beta.
>>1352828
I've already made 10x profits. A dump doesn't hurt me unless sia crashes to the ground. Sure, it sucks that sia didn't go up with the new release but it's unlikely to completely crash and burn since the Chinese really seem to see the potential in the coin.
The real problem Sia has is that it lacks marketing and people knowing about it.
Sia's moto is to silently work and have a working product. Storj was the first to really come out since 2014 and announce their product. This made everyone talk about Storj while Sia kept silent. It's the reason I think no one is talking about Sia overall. Every news outlet got hyped for Storj that they don't care for Sia.
Although not knowing about Sia didn't really stop the Chinese from loving it.
>>1353149
I've said it a bunch. SIA are absolute technical geniuses who have something on their hands that could become a huge entity on the internet. But they've kind of autistic when it comes to business and marketing. Releasing 1.0 at midnight after a day of delays was autistic. Also I'm not sure anyone knows about them other than us cryptojunkies.
They need to get some buzz and they need to get their 1.0 in the hands of people doing sketchy shit.
>>1353170
>Releasing 1.0 at midnight after a day of delays was autistic.
They said they would release it on the 28th on their timezone and they released at around 11pm. They probably went two days without sleep to push out the release.
Still, they said on their reddit AMA that they plan to work on some financing and marketing in later months, so we'll see how that goes. Apparently they tried to talk to various coin exchanges and outlets but no one seems interested.
They got some buzz when people noticed it had gone up by 40% every few days over a month, with China being interested in it, but no one really talks about it or makes articles. It was in the top 15 market cap and almost in the top 10 on coingeko (if DAO had not existed, it would have been in the top 10). And yet, not a single peep.
The Chinese apparently don't even know what to think about 1.0 because they're not tech savvy and don't know anything about the product. There's been talks about having 1.0 translated in Chinese for them in the hopes of getting them interested, but I don't know if it'll do anything.
Seems they just released something again.
http://forum.sia.tech/topic/249/announcing-sia-cluster
>In short, Sia Cluster is a tool that allows you to monitor and manage multiple instances of Sia on remote computers from a central location using a web-driven dashboard.
>We created a small sia-specific in-house solution that allows monitoring of multiple siad hosts with a dashboard view. Since then, the project has grown and we are now publishing this project into the Open Source realm with MIT license with hopes that it will be helpful to Sia users, especially those who offer rentable storage from multiple computers.
>Sia Cluster can be easily customized by developers if needed and we are planning on adding additional features down the road. For now, we are looking for testing and feedback.
>Sia Cluster features include:
>Pegging of storage cost to USD (based on average market price of Sia Coin).
>Monitoring average market price of Sia Coin.
>Monitoring average price of storage on Sia network.
>Remote configuration of siad operating parameters.
>Monitoring of storage utilization and various siad metrics.
>Monitoring computer metrics such as memory and network bandwidth utilization.
>Remote unlocking of Wallets on all participating nodes.
>Sia Cluster is built on top of NodeJs using our in-house web application development framework "IRIS".
>Sia Cluster is a server that works together with Sia Node. Sia Node is a program that runs alongside of siad and provides secure RPC relay between Sia Cluster and siad.
These fuckers are brilliant.
SC got a little bump on the exchanges already. Hmm, this could be good.
Apparently even the creator of bittorrent* knows about Sia.

Sia starting to going up, you hear here first, buy the dip
>>1353170
I wouldn't worry about buzz really. As somebody who is their target audience (a file storage website owner), the product is not quite there yet - although it's making good progress.
Once they have a 100% reliable, working product, they'll just need a little spark of buzz for it to snowball.
Honestly guys, this coin has enough potential in the long term that I'm hoping the price goes down and the buzz subsides for a while, so I can quietly buy more.
>>1353202
Now that is pretty interesting.
is the only way to buy in on poloniex? are there other exchanges?
also - when you cash out on poloniex with BTC - do you need some sort of verification etc?
>>1353217
>Apparently even the creator of bittorrent* knows about Sia.
I'm not surprised conceptually (I only know high level idea of sia) they are very similar. Sia comes in where bit torrent fails: incentive. Use cases are slightly different, nobody would host a website off bittorrent, but there's other projects (again without incentive) that can accomplish this.
>>1353254
>I wouldn't worry about buzz really. As somebody who is their target audience (a file storage website owner), the product is not quite there yet - although it's making good progress.
Is this lucrative? I've been pondering a website beyond my personal site that nobody ever visits. Seems like it could be fun to build and profitable at the same time.
Do you get a lot of legal notices?
>>1353256
>is the only way to buy in on poloniex? are there other exchanges?
Poloniex is the most reputable, but there is c-cex and yobit
Anyone back up the truck? I only hold a measly 28,000 Sia so far.
>>1353302
I haven't sold anything but I feel silly for not selling when it was at ~ 160 sat and buying now.
>>1353265
>Is this lucrative?
Well, it's not actually a general purpose file host, that's only what I say rather than tell the exact niche I'm in. So I don't know whether vanilla file host sites are profitable.
in my particular niche I was pretty much the first, so I managed to hammer out a userbase.
if you are happy to ignore legal notices, I imagine you could be very profitable, but you'll also end up v& unless you live in Russia or something
I would always try to find a way you can improve on existing services.
Sia got added to shapeshift.
I hear they're a shady untrustworthy exchange, but it's still news I guess.
Welp, it happened. Sia just passed Maid on coingeko and is now in the top 10.

Anyone holding more than a million Sia?
I bought in at 150 guys, let the memes be with us :, )
Sia is great because the value doesn't solely revolve around the USD, it stands on its own.
>>1354840
Don't feel bad I bought 1btc worth at .16. What makes me feel fine is that before I bought it I decided to hold onto it for a year. Same with nem and nxt. Also got 50000 dao. Waiting to get in on Bitcoin once it goes sub 500.
>>1354838
I'm holding onto more or less 90 million sia.

what price does everyone reckon sia will reach?
ETH value?
asking honestly, i have a lil bit
Sia storage network, so far,
I fucking love this company. This is the first thing that's come out the crypto world that seems to make sense and have mainstream potential.
>>1355251
its gonna go to eth prices
Can someone explain to me the difference between Sia and ETH other than it not being run by a retarded russian?
>>1355299
how did you come to this conclusion in the last 2 hours?
>>1355304
research m8
>>1355306
you mind explaining to a newb?
>>1355313
Long story short is that it's the first company to offer anon encrypted online storage. Their technology and concept is ridiculously brilliant. They're going to be competing with Amazon and Dropbox soon.
Although I have trouble believing the price will surge more than a few cents a coin. With the way ETH is going though, that could be an accurate statement.
>>1355338
thank you
can't seem to find sia on yobit, or am i just retarded?
>>1355368
I don't see it either, the ticker is SC. Just use poloniex it has a much better reputation than yobit.
>>1355373
ah, thanks just made an account and found it, probably going to dump 2 btc worth on sia
TIME FOR SOME REAL TALK LADS
First:
Maidsafe is NOT a competitor to Sia, Maid is something more like freenet or bittorrent, community file storage with no solid guarantees. Sia provides precise guarantees; you pay for a certain amount of storage and you get it.
Now that's out of the way, the only current competition to Sia is STORJ.
Apart from the obvious 90% premine of Storj, does anybody have any sensible comparisons of the two to make, as to which will better succeed as a product?
Personally, the main thing I see is that Storj is focusing on providing the storage for sale through their own centralised "metadisk" service, which while cheaper than Amazon S3, is not *that* much cheaper. (And their bandwidth is still way overpriced). I haven't really figured out how easy it to use Storj without the metadisk part. Anybody looked into it? Since if they make it hard to do so, that would be a great win for Sia.
A final note, if you guys want something to harass the developers about, they NEED to do this (taken from a leddit comment):
>and especially some noob friendly developer documentation would be nice. (Maybe even some simple tutorials for example use cases - e.g. Sia as backend for a simple "megaupload" type file host service)
>I'm really interested in the potential of Sia vs something like Amazon S3, but as a lowly web developer I have trouble understanding much of it
The documentation is really lacking.
>>1355300
ETH is for some fancy bullshit smart contracts stuff. Sia is essentially a decentralised file storage marketplace. Totally different things, not in competition.
>>1355547
what do you think the price potential for sia is
you seem fairly educated on the coin
>>1355402
That's a lot of sia. I wouldn't buy it all at once in case price goes up or down during that time.
>>1355584
Heed this anons advice faggot. Buy in multiple quantities, not all at once.
>>1355373
yobit graph is so much better tho...
>>1355547
Im looking into how to integrate sia into an ethereum dapp to let people sell fIles to each other. It would cost a TON of gas to do it entirely on ethereum, and STORJ would not work because storage contracts are not handled automatically on the blockchain.
Yes SIA needs more documentation, but it has *almost* all the parts in place. Trusting devs to add another feature soon. If sia cloud storage becomes the first contract with actual utility on the ethereum network, a $15m market cap is peanuts.
>>1355601
But poloniex lets you control the candlestick interval
So they don't have any competitors ?
What if a new coin started that did the same thing? Are their any ways they could beat Sia?
>>1355638
Bitcoin clone prices indicate "no". The dev team is willing to sue if a clone does become a threat because they need money, but they keep it open source out of principle.
>>1355664
So they have technology rights?does that mean they could monopolize the block chain storage options?
>>1355561
It's actually hard to say, since this is a fairly new niche. I think in the long term, there is the possibility of it eating into the cloud storage market. How much, who knows.
Also the simple fact it has actual utility puts it beyond 99% of shitcoins... although it will take time to grow.
In the short term, I think the current price is pretty reasonable. In the longer term, I think it could certainly go a lot higher.
I'm looking forward to reading the new roadmap the Sia devs say they will release in some weeks. I think October?? they are aiming for having an Amazon S3 compatible API. If and when they pull that off, it will be a pretty nice development.
>>1355613
NICE. And if Sia can ride the coattails of Ethereum in any way that could get a lot of attention.
>>1355638
>>1355695
Ultimately, it could be copypasted. However, like with Bitcoin, the network effect and first mover advantage comes into play. Sia, since it was the first, will likely have far more (and more diverse) data storage available than any newly released clones. More data storage = more reliability and lower prices. Also a bigger market = more stable prices, good when paying for contracts. So if any developer is looking for a service to build an app on, they should sensibly choose the most mature one.
Of course, if anybody manages to put in a huge effort to build a genuinely better product, it might be a threat. But it's not likely to appear out of nowhere. And all the above still applies.
Should I buy siacoin?
>what do you famanon
What do you ... what?
>>1355953
senpai = family

>>1355945
It has more real-world function than literally all the other cryptos shilled on this board. Read the white paper and go all-in.
>>1355695
I think they have the techonology MIT trademarked or something. I forgot the name or what they did.
>>1355638
Not as far as I can see. Storj to an extent but it's behind in development and the whole dev keeping 90% of the coin is an issue.
>What if a new coin started that did the same thing?
Sia has been in the works for about two and a half years, maybe a bit more. Any team doing the same will require a lot of work to catch up.
>>1355613
Sia working with ETH would be an insane boost.
>>1355812
With the Chinese interested in the coin and the devs being good, it's very likely to go a lot higher. The main dev estimated that it could go to 1$ a sia in ten years if everything goes extremely well.
Alright, I'm in for 1.6BTC.
Check out SDC's chart on Polo, I think it's going to pump hard in the next day or two.

Are you implying something?
Currently .116 on Polo.
I think it's going to take a week for the sell walls to ease up but there's a lot more buy pressure than sell pressure. I'm excited because I think the next time it spergs out we hit .2 or higher.
Sia is so good because it`s backed by real value.And it will grow because the SIA prices on storage will fall.(because the only way to compete having the exactly same product is to lower prices) Dollar prices will stay at the same level. And while new storage offers are coming to sia platform, the price of sia will grow.
And there`s also a lot of demand for it. Backup`s, scientific databases and so on!
>>1357788
PINK looks like its about to pump in the next 24 hours.
>>1357843
The only fear I have is that it might not grow if people don't host their storage.
>>1357876
https://twitter.com/siapulse/status/748994610274430976
They're doing pretty good famanon. I'm encouraged.
>>1357883
I mean that if it stays below 200~ host for a few months or whatever.
A great coin with not a lot of host means low storage available and no growth.
That's my only real fear. Although I don't know if 275 TB of storage is good or not.
Check out PINK's 7 day chart.
Something interesting is going on with this coin.
>>1357890
I`m sure devs will introduce their product to enterprises as soon as they consider Sia ready for this
>>1357890
Yeah I tend to agree. For me though I'm most intrigued with their development team. They're coming up with really cool ideas and they're following through on schedule. Out of all the crypto projects I've followed, these nerds are on point and seem to be something special. I could be totally wrong but so far they've followed through and they seem to introduce cool new tech and ideas regularly. I still say their best course of action is word of mouth in black hat realms in the short term and it'll filter out from there into the mainstream.
>>1357903
Yeah, there's been a ton of hints to expect something in this direction around October.
