Sia Adaptor for Neos and Flow

Your data belongs to you!

This Flow package allows you to store assets (resources) in Sia - a decentralized cloud storage platform. No servers, no trusted third parties.

!!! Please note that this package is still in development. It was NOT tested in production. You should use it in a development context only.

Sia?

Sia leverages blockchain technology to create a data storage marketplace that is more robust and more affordable than traditional cloud storage providers.

What Sia does

When a file gets uploaded to Sia, it gets split up, encrypted, and sent all over the world. Once you upload your files, the network ensures that they're always accessible to you by copying them multiple times. And they're never accessible to hosts because they only receive pieces of whole files that are already encrypted. When you upload your media to Sia, every single file gets divided into 30 segments before uploading, each targeted for distribution to hosts across the world.

If 20 out of 30 hosts go offline, a user is still able to download a files. And when hosts go offline, Sia automatically starts to re-duplicate them again. It would take a simultaneous global event to knock out enough hosts to damage the integrity of your files.
