I started getting excited about Sia over the summer. They've updated now, but they used to have an exceedingly ambitious project roadmap here: https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-feature-roadmap https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-feature-roadmap. Checking back a few months later made me lose confidence in the project, even though I think it's a really cool idea. I see it being used as a base layer for a Glacier type of product, which is still useful because it might give everyone a cheap-ish way to store media, but I wish it could be something more. As far as I know, there's no way to coordinate the sharing geographically, and furthermore the bandwidth is pretty bad, which I think might be due to bandwidth not being counted in the pricing models? There would be huge money in creating a blockchain like Sia that created a more granular marketplace for distributing shards and that factored geography/bandwidth into the pricing. The killer app for this technology is a public market for servers (specifically media hosting). Imagine if Netflix could continually shift their distribution platforms around the world as offices emptied and people turned off their PCs
