I have been following Siacoin (SIA) for the last two weeks and it went up very fast, I read there webpage http://sia.tech/ I understood Sia will provide in data storage and in the future webhosting on the blockchain. So far they are still developing and they are checking software in ervery two days. But why are they so much up, I can't find that, there are like 26.000.000.000 coins already how can a project with that amount of coins be worth one dollar a coin for example, can someone explain that to me please.

I think LBRY is simulair to SIA or is that totally different? It would be great if an expert can tell me about these differences and give a forecast about the projects. Have a nice weekend everyone.

It could be affected by the ransomware virus, so for distributed cloud storage it's very good and the price goes up.I don't know about LBRY.

Thats a very good point actually !

Have you checked in with the announcement thread all 236 pages to read through?

Here is their roadmap > http://sia.tech/about/milestones/

There are a few others like MaidSafe and Storj but for me SIA trumps them.

Sia offers a reward for providing storage space and a penalty if you decide
to jump ship, delete other peoples information which is held on you hard-drive
and offer the same space to a competitor, this insures continuity of data storage!

I dont think Maid offers this, and to some extent Storj do, not sure about LBRY though.
