Aloha kind sir,

I've been part of the Sia community for a hot minuet by now and am definitely excited about what it can bring to the internet and devs alike. Actually I made a tutorial mini-series about the basics of Sia you can find here. It's more user focused, but it gives a good insight into how it all works.

The coolest thing about Skynet(at least for me) is that you can have this massive content library distributed over a massive amount of nodes, and it is all cross-accessible. So you could have access to a 100TB+ content library on a VPS with 60GB of SSD storage. Really cool stuff.

Also a new release is around the corner(the latest release candidate is looking pretty good), and that'll speed everything up by an order of magnitude or so on the web-portal side which is awesome!

Stay safe,
That one guy

Hey Luke aka That one guy! Thanks for sharing the videos they are now bookmarked, and I'll watch them later.

How much content (in GB or TB) do you have stored on Skynet?

Oh boy sorry for the late response; I never check medium. On my own private node I have nothing pinned(so effectively nothing stored) but I have uploaded oodles of files to public portals for temp storage while developing stuff.

I'd estimate I've uploaded a hundred gigs or so worth of stuff to public portals by now.
