it is a sh*tcoin in the sense that with the 85% of mining that was dumped on the algo switch there is 10x the siacoin in the world that sia-tech expected..even though they NOW

again have a private network for their decentralized and anonymous store of info system using siacoin.

However...also a shitcoin in the fact that their Network and such is way, way, behind the making of ASIC's and the amount of difficulty and siacoin out in the world

if siacoin and mining are to be the method in which this decentralized storage method is supposed to catch on

I think they better get a move on making it worth doing storage on such a network..which as of now does not work even on very cheap used hd's etc and certainly

not something a hobbyist can ever make money on now!

The other problem is ..folks have told me that they are moving into using big centralized data storage companies and systems..which also hardly seems decentralized

so if they want to get this project to work they better show some 'economic' reasons even if it is only break-even to put my $$$ into even a hobby node or portal and or

storage on siacoin vision....or it will just collapse under its own weight

I mean no one ever got in trouble with their bit giant amazon cloud kinda storage solution an IT guy is not gonna risk his job farming out sia-techs network at this time

why take the risk?

So some decentralized storage from the ground on up among hobbyists and regular folk better start first IMHO to get some hype going on this...or they are just spinning air

IMHO...and such.

By the By, the siacoin wallet also sucks..why not have www.siastats.info on the wallet and what is with only able to use control c and control v to cut and paste? Have the

never heard of right-click mouse? Also, why do I have to go all the way to the web site www.siastats.info and put in transaction ID to see the wallet address? Why can't that show

also the wallet address along with transition Id?....I mean it is all very low-end amateur compared to even the most basic BTC wallets

so the stuff like that drives me crazy ..they are not taking care of important details and no real push for folk to do storage nor instructions for the layperson...and ramp such up

even it is just to play with ..no FAQ I could see even to just experiment with the wallet options on storage on your puny 3gig HD as well just to learn such.

anyway

step it up
