Re: [AFMUG] OT: some good news!
Just pointing out that this blockchain project, and its token, are really making some moves. One reason I posted here about this months agoI suspected many of you guys would find the product very compelling. The software has matured quite a bit since then, they still call it 'beta', but it's working and the internet-developer-crowd is discovering the project and are frankly getting pretty excited about it. Price-wise, the Sia token 'sc' is breaking away from price-dependence upon BTC, and, volume-wise, there are a lot of new buyers. To utilize their "Internet 2.0 / Skynet", you have to deal in their token. SEC has already audited the Sia project and they left the 'SC" token untouched. It's not a 'coin' that's trying to compete with government currency. The Sia project has not spent much money, if any, on marketing. They are preferring to let their thing grow 'organically' so to speak. Which means, there isn't a nice polished User Guide just yet...just for one example. But "devs" and development-savvy content creators are already using their product and are developing their own apps for the Sia Internet ecosystem (that's what I call it anyway).There is a website of course, but most of what I know about this project I glean from their Discord channel. Even if you don't buy anything, you might want to put this on your radar screen. This could be a really big thing someday... something like building the WWW upon the original Internet... but probably bigger. Back in 2010, I read you guys' with your bitcoin mining and all that, and I did nothing. Clearly, that was a bad move for me. And I didn't buy Cisco or Dell in 1996 either --- On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 8:47 AM Steven Kenney wrote: > Wow.. cool.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: some good news!
Wow.. cool. While I like the whole blockchain concept, its decentralized and an uncontrolled medium there still is one overwhelming problem. The key. Not to mention as much as we think it won't be cracked, it will be. Eventually technology will catch up with processing fast enough to crack it. Quantum computers, heck even dna based computers can start to make their appearance in society making the currency unsafe to use. Bitcoin is only as strong as the mysterious person who has the original key ( Satoshi Nakamoto ) (Who the NSA has admitted they've identified via online signature or may even have been NSA!). Whoever has that key can decrypt anything. Therefore while having blockchain part of a cloud storage is really cool. It ultimately will not be as secure as you think. Its more secure than what is out there already! But I'm still hoping they develop some new form of blockchain that is a bit more evolved. -- Steven Kenney Network Operations Manager WaveDirect Telecommunications http://www.wavedirect.net (519)737-WAVE (9283) From: "justsumname ."
