I don't really want to hijack this discussion by discussing merits (or lack thereof) of other cryptocurrencies. Maybe post a link on HN for the cryptoeconomics

  It's meant for private encrypted backups instead of public distributed files, so it is less complicated. The users just pay the people who store it through a contract.

    That is also not true. On Sia you can have: * private encrypted backups * public distributed files * public encrypted distributed files

  You opened the door to this avenue of discussion by implying or suggesting by omission or dismissal that no successful implementation currently exists. The existence and purported demonstration of work of Sia is not yet proven. I’ve never heard of Sia before now, and I will research it now that I know that it’s a thing to study. But I digress. It’s contrary to parliamentary procedure and rules of debate to make a statement in order to back up your own point and not admit counterexamples and discussion of said statement and it’s implications as well as it’s intent and factual basis in the current reality we all share, regardless of which parts of it are presently up for debate. You would have us not be informed about relevant contextual information regarding a point you yourself brought up, just so we don’t derail a discussion you yourself are replying to? We’re all valid commenters with valid comments provided we have something relevant to say.
