Is there any sia hardfork happening on January 31st 2018?
Is this true ?
can someone explain in more detail .
There is a hardfork planned at block number 139000, approximately by the end of January. It is aimed to correct the mining Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm.
Take in mind this is a non-contentious fork: all the community, mining pools and infrastructure is accepting it. At such, there will not be a "split" in two coins, no airdrop. The old blockchain will be abandoned.
Looks like the hard fork hit. Via Sia's blog: hard fork on block 135,000
Did anyone notice a price difference due to this?
In everyone's experience. Do hard forks that increase mining difficulty decrease prices?
There was a hardfork at block 135000, but due to a bug in the Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm, a new hardfork was introduced on software version 1.3.1 to correct it. It will happen on block 139000, around the end of January.
How are they going to reach block 139,00 when the block time is over 3 hours? It'll take months meanwhile my deposit to the exchange, so I can sell this garbage, is stuck on 5/6 confirmations because it's to difficult to mine. I started this transfer 5 hours ago and Sia has not only lost value but lost the confidence of investors and miners to properly maintain their business correctly. I loved this coin but it's dead to me now.
That is absolutely false: the current average block time is 30 minutes due to the bug in the DAA, not 3 hours as you are claiming. So the hardfork will take place by the end of January, no matter what you think. You can check it here:
https://siastats.info/mining.html in the last chart. I don't think there is any need to discuss with you your complains and personal opinions about the "confidence" of investors or miners. The "confidence of miners" can be however measured very easily and objectively: it is the network hashrate. And as you can see in the first chart of the previous link, it has actually increased in the past few days.
I'm thinking of removing my sia from the exchange.
how long will it take to sync and how much disk space does sia wallet require?
thanks
The blockchain is about 8.5GB big. If you are using SSD disks it will take less than 10 hours to synchronize. If you are using HDD disks it will be several days (2-3 days or more)
If that's so then why is my Sia Coin stuck in cyberspace because they can't find a block? Bittrex is telling me that the last block update was 738 minutes ago. I wish I new how to insert a screenshot because I have proof. The blockchain is f**ked.
