Thanks Taek. Sia seems an interesting and very promising product.
Will be waiting for the release of version 1.0
There is no reason to wait for version 1.0.
Sia is already an interesting
and useful protocol. You can already upload files to the Sia network, with the knowledge your files are encrypted and stored redundantly across multiple hosts. The price for this service is currently much cheaper that most, if not all, other storage providers.
In fact, I'd say now is the best time to get in. The Siacoin (SC) used to pay for storage on the Sia network is currently also very, very cheap.
The protocol and client are both still fairly unstable. Great if you are comfortable with bugs, and with the chance of losing money and files because of early-stage instability.
Things get better every iteration, but there is still a lot that could be improved. But it's definitely worth trying out with trivial money and with files you've got backed up in places other than Sia.
