More on reddit.comHow does Chia compare to Filecoin?
Not really. Filecoin's main purpose is to provide censorship resistant file storage. Chia is a smart contract-based blockchain which uses a new consensus algorithm, proof of space and time, to verify transactions.
Chia is the new hotness. It just launched last month, and transactions are being enabled in the next few days. Lots of price speculation on the lead up.
Both bring something unique to the table. I don't believe there is much overlap between the two projects, other than both create additional demand on hard drives. There is plenty of room in the crypto space for different projects, ideas and approaches to bringing decentralization to the masses.
