Out of curiosity, can you clarify how Filecoin is different than Sia or will I need to wait for your new whitepaper?

There are a ton of technology differences which the upcoming Filecoin v2 paper will address (very soon!).

On the conceptual layer there's a difference in that Sia and Storj seem to be a bit more geared towards consumers and file storage, while IPFS+Filecoin's aim is to be infrastructure in the commons.

(Disclosure: IPFS & libp2p dev)

I thought Sia is focused on the enterprise?

Either way, thanks for replying. I'm looking forward to reading the new whitepaper soon.
