Do you know why Sia is overlooked so often? I see a lot of shills on forums and the founder seems to tweet bitterly about Filecoin, but folks seem optimistic about the tech. So what am I missing that makes Sia not get adoption vs. Filecoin?
- shepardrtc 5y agoThey spent very little on marketing and focused on building something. That's starting to change now.
- tracedddd 5y agoThe Sia team has let down customers for other tangential projects, and Sia has weaker guarantees than Filecoin. It’s been out a long time now and they have failed to address some core scaling and redundancy concerns. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it’s seeming more like maidsafe - never got enough traction and now the interest is on filecoin and arweave.

- Geee 5y agoFilecoin got a lot of funding from prominent investors before they even started. I don't think there's much actual adoption in there.
