Nobody's going to use ever siacoin as a storage solution.

It's either expensive for the host or expensive for the customer, but it can't be good for both Wink

And this ignores how complicated it is to store and download files from sia compared to mainstream solutions, the fact that you can't give a siacoin bill to your accountant and the constant price fluctuation.

You guys just can't give up.

About your B), yes 100% of the cryptocurrency market is all hype and no use atm and is seriously overvalued.

You keep coming to this thread, keep spreading the same FUD one time and another, and another... and keep refusing to debate your positions every time someone answers you. As you keep ignoring my answers to your FUD, I'll keep quoting my own answers every time you come again to vomit the same no-sense:

It is profitable for the host. Even if we consider a price of $1/Tb/month. You can buy enterprise-grade HDDs at less than $25/Tb and they are prepared to last more than 5 years. A ROI of 2 years (or less) is perfectly acceptable if your HDDs are going to last more than 5 years. Hosting is not like mining were difficulty increases over time. In hoisting, if you stay ompetitive you'll keep getting contracts forever. And electricity costs are irrelevant: a good HDD of 4Tb or even 8Tb will consume less than 3W

It is profitable for renter. People incorrectly compares Sia to Onedrive, Google storage or other costumers solutions that are "free" or very cheap. Companies can't use those solutions and have to purchase storage to Amazon ($23/Tb/month), Azure ($30) or Akamai ($50). Do you know how much is paying a renter right now in Sia? 250SC/Tb/month, roughly $2. And with the advantages of encryption, decentralization, and low latency due to the huge world-wide distributed network of hosts

You know you have unlimited space on dropbox for 15 a month right?

Unlimited.

(and 200gb of transfer everyday which will go up).

And do you know companies can not apply to that offer? And do you know there is no limit of transfer on Sia? And do you know data is not natively encrypted on Dropbox, and they can do whatever they want with your data? Like for example, in a few years limit the "unlimited" tier to force you to pay more for all that data you have already stored with them.

And oh, BTW, Sia is less than $3/Tb/month. Deal with it.

Hi folks. I bought some coins on recent dip and now I'd like to store them in cold storage for long term hodling.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do it properly. Can someone please help? Paper wallet? Hardware wallet?
Thanks

Instead of the paperwallet they indicated you (the code is still in reviewing process by other devs to confirm it is legit), I recommend you this tool created by the developing team: https://github.com/avahowell/sia-coldstorage
