What Actually Is Siacoin (SC) and How Does It Work?
Sia, a decentralized cloud storage platform running on blockchain technology, lets you store your files using free hard drive space anywhere in the world. Siacoin (SC) is a digital currency created for this project. This altcoin is designed to pay for cloud storage services. Anyone who has a certain amount of SC can rent spare hard drive space from Sia hosts. This can be done with the help of “file contracts,” a special type of smart contract stored in the Sia blockchain. Smart contracts are unique technical alterations that allow using blockchain efficiently to store files. So, at the end of the required period, the host must prove the existence of the file, and if the outcome is positive, they receive a reward. However, if the host loses the file, they do not receive the payment. The system has support for payment channels and bilateral contracts. This fact is crucial because it ensures the elimination of unreliable money transfers without confirmation of compliance with the contract. Also, all money transfers are instant and non-refundable, which reduces the risk of fraud, not only for those who rent the space but also for those who rent it out. All files sent from renter to host are encrypted, and Siacoin’s reliability stands out thanks to the process of dividing the file into a huge number of fragments. Some of them cannot be used to recreate the original file at all, which excludes the possibility of it being read by a third party. Not only files are encrypted, but even their fragments, allowing the service to ensure the anonymity and confidentiality of data. Due to the distributed nature of the Sia network, it becomes possible to optimize the bandwidth of this network, its security, and reliability and reduce response times. In addition, any user can rent out their storage space, and the reduced cost of information storage reflects that. What makes Sia very attractive for ordinary users is a very low entry threshold: anyone who can provide a place to store data can receive a reward.
Brief History of Siacoin (SC)
Siacoin’s story began in September 2013 when two undergraduate computer science students, David Vorick and Luke Champine, came up with the idea of a blockchain-powered data storage system. In May 2014, Vorick and Champine created Nebulous Inc. Among others, FirstRaptor Group, Raptor Group, INBlockchain, Fenbushi Capital, and First Star Venture were the company’s top investors. Sia was officially launched in June 2015. By September 2016, Sia’s total venture capital went up to $1.25 million.
Siacoin Mining: How to Mine Siacoin (SC)?
The very first 100 Sia blocks were mined directly by the project creators. The reward for the first block was 300,000 SC. For each subsequent block, the reward is reduced by 1 Siacoin. There is also a minimum possible reward per block — 30,000 SC. GPU mining of Siacoin is the most popular way to mine this digital currency. SC mining works on the Blake2b e-currency algorithm using the PoW system. The reward is reduced after each mined block and will continue to do so until it reaches the set minimum possible size. In June 2018, the company launched Obelisk, its own ASIC mining for Siacoin, which is 100 times more powerful than mining with a GPU. There are also other possible ways for users to get Siacoin apart from mining: by renting your spare hard drive space; by buying coins on exchanges such as Binance, Upbit, Poloniex, Bittrex, QBTC, Bitbns, Bisq.
Siacoin: Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths: high level of confidentiality, encryption (Twofish algorithm), decentralization and high degree of reliability (files segmented into 30 segments, recoverable from 10), open source, low cost of storing information ($2 per month for 1 TB vs competitors). Weaknesses: specific mining requirements (GPU only), threat from large competitors, user mistrust.
Frequently Asked Questions and Price Analysis
SC current price $0.000923. SC is a good long-term investment according to WalletInvestor (max $0.02). Can SC rise? Yes, possibly to $0.000696 average in five years. Can SC reach $1? Yes but timing unknown. All-time high $0.087793 in winter 2018. Mining still worthwhile due to fixed minimum reward.
Price Predictions (2026–2050)
