Today I wanted to get some opinions on Siacoin and their new Minebox!
I got into siacoin all on my own so I'm feeling extra proud of myself right now =) I got in on those crosshairs .00000295 until now I had made most my profits just kinda listening to others advice and opinions.
I was researching cheaper coins with decent volume and came across Sia, after visiting their website I thought it was a super cool idea! Second thought was; Of course there is already a cloud storage coin! After doing a little more research, that Siacoin was just looking and sounding too nice compared to the others (I dont speak full nerd but I get the gist). I believe this was just after Consensus, I read somewhere they had received a little attention there so I bought it, fuck it.
Its like a big ass hard drive where you can have your own files stored there and in the cloud as well, so you can access your files anywhere! You can then offer up your extra storage for other people's data to be stored in the cloud and you receive a siacoin payout for this! It comes in a 8tb or 16tb version available for preorder last I checked there are only 75 left out of 200! I hope to get one maybe this post is going to greatly lower my odds but if it sells out before I get a preorder ..
However, if Vlado can't hook it up and they sellout, Im also wondering if it would be better to tryn just build my own minebox? Or if anyone else out here knows wether this thing is decently priced for the hardware or overpriced for its convenience of just plug n play. Also your thoughts on Siacoin itself! I've seen on twitter how they work together with storj and maidsafe, the 2 other main hitters in the cloud storage game I wonder how this will pan out!?
