well, you are right in some things, but It is not bad idea make focus in their own market, forget dcr and grin, they made improvemnets in SC1 boards, the last boards has a better heatsink and different way to fit it in the boards, I think the firsts units take heat a lot of, fail for this.

About performance sc miners is acceptable after more one year running, you can check hashrate the network and take your own opinion. The locked sias to make contracts is to low yet, cloud storage is a big market and the proyect represents very low percent of total storage.

We will see how sia adapts to the future... at least is a good start, has a real use right now. The next incoming boom of IoT, with multiple small devices collecting data, can be an opportunity for this type of proyect.  

I will follow the forum as guest, I hope you resolve the trouble with the manufacturer.

The account is "newby" yes, but not here, I follow the forum since time ago and sia too.

I have written because some affirmations I think are not correct. I speak with my own experience, I had good support with them, some boards SC1 1 gen failed me and they resolved the problem fast, updates ok.

Yes, the market is too bad for many proyects righ now.

the cloud storage is a good sector to stay, is a huge market, grow fast worldwide, has multipled uses too.

DCR1 was an error... yes, in the market too late, other miners manufacturers had a low successful models, what´s new?

""" So it goes FUD/Dismay on our lack of trust/ then blamo ...for companies like this in the USA....bankruptcy! """

for other side I think is good too be USA based, maybe It will be more easy to establish alliances, if it happen (may not happen ofc), with other usa based companies than outside usa proyects, more trust too.

Is not an advice, recommendation or blind believer, only depend of sia their future, but I dont see the scene so black like others users. Can be collect on Internet all info, with real data about sia, to create your own judgment, I can't say more about this.

Hi all, Only explain my point of view. I´ve read last opinions, I disagree about some afirmations of the last posts, like "other 10 alternatives", no many improvements about sia, etc. With all respect I think that the sia proyect has a future, well... others have some features but are in many cases the proyect is new or with low real use.

sia is growing, with real proyects, now you can pay with fiat easily to suscribe storage services much much cheaper than other alternatives like amzn, can be check online sia cloud price fast. The used storage increases slow month by month, the stats are public on Internet.

For other side sia has a good volume of trade, with liquidity to maintain the mining network. I think too what with one strategic partner like big company, public organization, army, state or similiar would be more easy bring the proyect to other level. Self-replicating and privacy focus is a good avantage too, others dont have this posibility. For many uses is enought with the sia capacities.

Well, the future of sia I think depend on how to will be adapt to the future, but It is a good position for start, with dominance position inside their market.

Long life SIA!

First of all If any moderator thinks it is not the right place please send me a PM. I am not active user, but I follow this forum like as guest since many years, great forum.

I would like to share my experience with this company, If anybody have same troubbles please share too. In May (I dont know now) UQUID had a horrible automatic deposit system, due the system failures I did 2 transfers, UQUID only recognize 1. When I contact with customer support nothing solution, always same response "talk with us by Skype"

Hi, It´s easy to understand, In May I did 2 deposit the similar amount to you due your system failures (In fact many problems with deposits in late May, only manually mode). You did 1 deposit manually and other is pending. As I told you when I view what happened I contacted with you. You have etherscans confirmations, You must have +6.36551268 ETH in your balance, please contact with me, I want my ETH´s back.

Thank you.

Best regards.

If they have time they will check the account, LoL (about 20 days explaining what happened). As I said at the beginning If any user have same problems with UQUID please share it.

Hola, saludos a todos, es mi primer post, aunque llevo varios meses leyendo en el foro. LLevo poco tiempo en la minería de bitcoins y me gustaría compartir mi experiencia en el foro.

   Para que sirva de referencia tengo 2 Radeon 6970, en estos momentos estoy minando con una tarjeta a la espera de recibir la fuente de alimentación para poder conectar la 2ª, con 1 tarjeta 6970 tengo una media de 395,5 MHash/s, utilizo el GUIMiner y en la configuración de extra flags
tengo: -v -w128

   Sin configurar los extra flags daba 350 MHash/s, pertenezco a un pool minero y el rendimiento ha sido pobre, casi decepcionante, pues en 48 H con el ordenador dedicado he obtenido 0,64 BTC y la tarjeta a full load consume cerca de 400 W, por lo que no estoy seguro aún si con el nivel de dificultad actual es rentable minar con GPU.

    ¿Alguien más tiene experiencia de minar con la Radeon 6970? ¿ Qué rendimiento en Bitcoins ha obtenido?

        Saludos de nuevo a todos.
