A seedy reddit post The night was June 9th, 2017. It was a typical Friday night for me. I was watching Netflix and checking reddit partying with cool kids. Suddenly, I saw this post on the “New” tab of the /r/siacoin subreddit: If you’re not familiar with Siacoin, it’s a cryptocurrency that allows you to rent out your spare hard disk space or buy space from others. I’ve written about this technology a couple times previously (mining guide, NAS guide).
