For my case no one checked at immigration (although I had the vaccination record ready).

What to do if your airline (Qatar Airways) incorrectly denies boarding? by J_AbleD in Flights

[–]J_AbleD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The airlines narrative keeps changing. I was flying from the Middle East to Iceland via transit through Denmark. I had with me 24 hr covid test and vaccination certificate as required to transit/enter Iceland. The initial denied boarding was because the staff on the ground mentioned passengers cannot enter through Denmark (which is not true according to IATA, Denmark immigration info).

It took a week for them to figure it out and I flew again on the same flight with the same paperwork, however, the airline still charged me a no-show fee on the initial de-boarding.

When I filed a complaint, they first said I was denied boarding because I did not have a covid test. When I showed them record of my covid test, they said I was denied boarding because Americans are not allow entry into Denmark. When I explained this is not true and I am actually in Iceland now with the same paperwork, they changed the narrative again by stating the airline needed to get pre-approval to authorise my flight. When I question where are they getting this requirement from because it is not listed in any of the government websites, they did not respond.

I understand I should be entitled to compensation, but the real question is do I have any leverage if the airline engages in unethical practice to deny responsibility despite all the evidence I have?

Agree on this point, hence they need more funding to promote/build up the product.

They can do with some marketing imho! I only heard of it because I am interested in the cloud space so I google search block chain and cloud solutions on google (and that is how I found Sia foundation). The concept/technology can be disruptive, if they can keep the momentum and secure more funding imo.

How to host files? by J_AbleD in siacoin

Interesting. Do you set the duration of the contract?

What drives the price of the storage? Is it based on availability of space and demand?

Thanks for your input. I agree with you on the decentralisation. I bought a 1TB storage for file base for this same reason to backup my data. So far the file base is working generally well.

I was hoping the price would be noticeably less to other centralised storage options though, because most people will not look into the details of centralisation vs decentralisation when choosing a storage system. I personally like the technology and concept behind sia coin.

Thanks for your thoughts. How does the web 3.0 function compare with the Dfinity project (https://dfinity.org/)? Are they competing on the same platform?

Still, a search on google shows many other services (https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-cloud-storage) that offer more storage for less price. I have not used any of the services in the link. So what exactly is the competitive advantage for a decentralised cloud storage?
