In my opinion, Siacoin is an altcoin that can provide profits. SC value is currently low so we can take the opportunity to invest in this coin. This Siacoin value has opportunities like Bitcoin, which can go up and down with extreme.
I agree with you because in fundamental of aspects siacoin is good for example. On November 1, a hardfork was successfully implemented on the Sia's network on the block number 178,999. The consensus algorithm was changed and the possibility of mining was blocked for Bitmain’ and Innosilicon' ASICs.
After 179,000 block, the network’s complexity dropped by about 98%, which allowed miners to find new blocks approximately every 10 minutes. The number of miners themselves at the same time significantly decreased.
Bitmain introduced in January AntMiner A3, designed specifically for Siacoin mining. Also support for this cryptocurrency has been added to AntPool.
The idea to limit the possibility of mining on third-party devices, however, was not understood by all members of the community, some of whom wondered how this solution meets the principles of decentralization.
However, according to David Vorik, the CEO of Nebulous project, such actions are justified: Despite the fact that there was no direct attack on the algorithm of consensus, a significant part of the community regarded the secret development of ASIC devices as an attack. It also looked risky that one farm owned 45% of the entire hashrate.
For miners who did not wish to support hardfork, the Sia developers released an alternative update version 1.3.5.
