To Aquazi:
Sia is not meant for users like you and I. It's meant for businesses.
Sia offers this:
1. High uptime, despite what you say
2. High reliability, despite what you say
3. High download bandwidth, despite what you say
This is a perfect platform for multimedia storage, or any torrent-esque storage really.
So you are right, average joe don't give a shit about Sia.
But the average joe will be whom these businesses built around Sia will be catering to.
I would like to also emphasize:
SIA IS A CONTRACT COIN.
Not a storage coin, like many incorrectly assume (even me)! Read the whitepaper.
This means it can be used for more than just storage - for what else, not sure, but I'll be sure to give an update once I figure out something practical.
