Sia is a lot more than a low cost storage platform. It's a full reimagining of how the cloud should work with an emphasis on user ownership and control, open access for developers, and ultimately decentralization that allows users to be certain their applications will always work (no more "RSS Reader is shutting down").
This post is intended to address people who do not feel that decentralization can be cost effective at scale.

- easygenes 7y agoI cringe every time a project uses the name "Skynet". First, it's overused. Second, it's literally the name of the AI project that went rogue and tried to kill all the humans in the Terminator movie universe. Not exactly the best association. Just find another name.

- KarlKemp 7y agoYou re certainly reimagining the marketing slang of a few years ago (a decade for the gratuitous dig at Google Reader)
