is sia just another TOR where p*dos can exchange materials easily

>>2781447
Yes.....uhhh....

No! Wait! No....

It might be?

I dont exactly know.

I definitely think that maybe it is.

I hope that helps.

so this is the power of /biz/

>>2781447
No, its better than TOR, bevause hosts arent liable for what they have on their computer, the file doesnt have to be popular in order to have fast download speed, and its will always be available to anyone until funds run out

>>2781447
No, it has literally nothing to do with Tor and isn't anonymous in any way.

Sia is a market for buying and selling data storage. It's just like the existing data storage market except automated and with a single open protocol.

>>2781447
No, it's a decentralized storage. You don't exchange anything.

buy sia *wink* *wink*

You just ruined this coin for me

Why the fuck does nobody read the part that says its meant for ENTERPRISES?

>>2782591
It's meant for enterprises, but it doesn't mean you can't use it for yourself.

idc what it is used for as long as it moons in 2-3 years

Because the sia core consists so far only of 3 nerds who maybe do their nerdy things particularly well but neither of them knows how to sell the product to any enterprise. I really hope that this $400k grant will be divided between UI development and hiring some serious marketing person. The technology is already there, they need now to sell it.

>so far only of 3 nerds
It's now 4.

>I really hope that this $400k grant will be divided between UI development and hiring some serious marketing person.
It won't be. It's only used to hire an extra dev and pay everyone for a year. The technology is not here yet. The devs are keeping firm to their idea of not market until a product is perfect.

If so, then why do they bother with all that Sia miners thing?

>>2782885
Because it secures the network from 51% hashrate.

>overtake it with your sheer hashrate capability, the entire network becomes centralized around you and fellow big miners (defeating the purpose of a decentralized system)

While if you introduce the ASIC miner:

>ASICs can only mine Siacoin, locking people in
>system is more secure over the long term

>>2783707
>ASICs distributed across the community, preventing centralization
How do they want to ensure that? Why whales can't buy half of miners?

>ASICs can only mine Siacoin, locking people in
Did not they sell only 1/6 of miners exactly because of that?
