RE: Sia Coin Posts large update - Sia v1.3.0

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Are file transfers fast enough to be useful for a biz? Maybe a photographer or something like that?

I have it running and have some files uploaded. It is pretty cool and I love not relying on Google, Dropbox etc. The only way to get around these central points of failure to to *bypass them. That's the whole point of crypto, right?

Sort:  

ive just been testing transfer speeds using the 1.3 wallet and sadly it is very slow even using my 300meg connection, (i uploaded about 2 gig of lo res photos to test). I think this will get better as the wallet is developed and am currently a host myself making a menial amount of coins per week but im glad to be helping the network and look forward to the future! (my current Sia stash is 80,000SC - Hodl like crazy)

i've seen a few reddit posts where examples of usage. It depends on their purpose - achieving vs file transfer between clients.
