How to increase Sia adoption rate?
-
I like both Sia and Storj, use them both, and I'm sure most people here realize Storj has about a 100x adoption rate over Sia which confuses me since they are both good products. With the upcoming Storj migration to Ethereum tokens I suspect it will likely gain even more traction. Whenever I see these products discussed it is usually with both getting a positive response and a focus of Sia on business adoption and Storj on end users. They both have excellent technical and leadership teams and deserve credit for evolving to their current state of development.
Any ideas why Storj is growing so much faster or whether/if something should be done to advance the growth of Sia adoption? Slow growth can be good to allow a product to slowly mature and improve before wide spread adoption but it can also inhibit growth if too slow.
I have seen marketing efforts for coins like Dash have a very positive impact on it's growth when there is a good story to tell and I think this could be the case for Sia if some additional resources were made available to promote this excellent product.

you know what... the whole set up around SIA is very very tech...
efforts are not at all poured into marketing or make the solution understandable by some one with less tech insights - I still struggle to understand some of the mechanisms behind how market consensus and pricing is governed in the network and how renters are chosen and so on.. It's a shame since the idea behind the service is very attractive and very appealing especially with more knowledge and focus coming from other decentralized solutions either in the crypt space or in the storage space or from combined solutions.
I think the team is working hard to mature the basics and there is still som virgin land to conquer on that one.
Look at the road map :

and you will notice that only in the very long time 2-24 months the plan is to make it to the masses, proper file sharing, getting rid of all the stuff that is currently needed (the client) to have a thin solution and also the whole mobility where SIA fits like the hand in the glove - we just have to wait or for anyone with amazing skills bring the solutions based on SIA forward per solo ..ps.: i'm not by any means associated with SIA and the above is my own conclusions on my own observations during the last 4 months.

Sia should switch it's focus to being a cheaper and better bitcoin.. and then have the file storage thing as an added bonus. But, of course, it will never happen because the devs have too much pride. Then again, Sia has a broken model; being traded on the exchanges conflicts with it's ideals of being a cheap storage platform.

i think what makes sia especial its their focus on decentralized storage, there is no need to be more like others...
