skynet-webportal VS session-desktop

While you're here have a look at sia Skynet the beginning of internet 3.0, people want easy to use storage this is it. It's also has a very simple tonuse SDK for devs to build upon.

You can use Sia from browser nowadays. They built a decentralized CDN network called Skynet on it. https://siasky.net

No longer worrying about servers and uptime for a simple react app is a big accomplishment already. Drag and drop your /build directory at https://siasky.net and you're live and running (for as long as the app has active users I believe, I'm still learning a lot too).

Use Skynet

It will totally be capable if Filecoin can start to get their tech in order. However, Skynet is not only capable of this but encouraging devs to get things up and running on the network.

In the end both of these concerns you have in regards to the mass adoption are negligible since the introduction of Skynet. With Skynet the only people that will ever have to be running any Sia software will be just the hosts. Skynet is kind of like a intermediary between the end user and the Sia network. The end user (you) will never need to buy Siacoin or install any software in order to use the Sia network. What happens is you essentially pay for the storage using your normal means of payments through the use of websites and apps like Skyspace, MARStorage, Filebase or Siasky. They in turn handle all the technical details of getting your data on to the Sia network. So once enough developers jump on board and enough websites and apps have been built on Skynet, the average end user might not even know what Skynet is even though they are using it every single day because it is the new internet. All they will know is there is less adds and things seem to work a bit differently.

I'm making this a separate reply so you are sure to get it. But make sure you also go sign up an account at https://siasky.net as well. It keeps track of ALL your data that you upload and download to and from Skynet through the Siasky portal.

SkyNet runs on blockchain

Here is the SkyNet WebPortal source code if anybody is interested.

This is the correct place to raise feature requests and bug reports: https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/issues

We're at 1.10.8. Please update: https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/releases

Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.
