The inverse may be true : increasing awareness of privacy problems with bitcoin, and mention of ring signatures as a good solution --> free advertising for monero

I have similar gain between ocminer pool and others.
I have a R9 290X, with an hashrate a little bit over 30Mh/s, and I gain a bit above 1 eth/day.
Are you sure of your hashrate ? (the hashrate display by the miner or the pool are not always thrustworthy) are you share valids (if you overclock too much, you may have invalid shares ?
With increasing dag file for eth, the hashrate for many cards is slowly decreasing (the memory / memory latency requirement is increasing).

depends on the period you are looking : sometimes it is dash, others this is monero ...
You can't drive conclusion with just a short period of observation.
Since a few months, both have rather small trading volume, especially when you compare with 2014, or when you compare with eth.
There are no successfull anoncoin yet : maybe there will be one, maybe dash or monero, maybe another ...

Yes! the amd suffix is somewhat misleading since intel use the same x64 extensions (but amd was first, hence the usual amd64 suffix).
(but the 386 version would work too).
The 64 bits binaries take advantage of your processor / OS 64 bit abilities (maybe faster for scanning blockchain : for others coins like monero with a big blockchain, x64 is mandatory due to memory requirement over 4G, this is not the case for siacoin)

The explorer worked yesterday, latest commit is from 5 days : there is not much to worry yet.
PS : https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/pull/850 : latest comment from dev 2 days ago.
I prefer them being more active on github than on bitcointalk!

I don't know for the other things, but you shouldn't make this claims for the number of people dead : there is a list of named people dead : some of them were somewhat puplic figures : teacher in university, owner of restaurants. Faking their death seems really difficult.
Your plot theory would be more believable without this specific claim.
Would you live in Paris (like me) and not in a far away place, you would know the reality of their death. I know indirectly some of the dead people by just one or two intermediates.

Dev are active on this project.

For a big rise, we may wait for some months until a more user friendly storage gui and some android / ios app.

I think there are two factors :
-first almost all altcoin have decreased in btc value with the recent rise of BTC/USD : eth, xmr, maid ... have suffered from this and began to recover
- second, there is some trouble in the supernet project : there is some conflict between nxt dev and supernet dev who have dumped a huge amount of nxt : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=762346.5620 and https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/price-speculation/msg199646/#msg199646

I believe bbr will recover mostly : afterall, the link between supernet and bbr has already weakened a lot some months ago

strange : I have done successfully the following :
- download the new UI, synchronise
- create a new wallet with a password generated (of course you need to note this one)
- upload legacy wallet (if asked, give the previous password, even if you legacy wallet is not password protected).
- done : after a few seconds, the balance of the legacy wallet appears.

Remark  : you need to use the latest wallet.dat of you legacy wallet (previous saved ones may not include latest adresses used by latest transaction : this is the same for bitcoin).

On poloniex, all main alts are in the red with major down.
Probably too late to sell, better waiting for reversal.

Late adopters don't bother with mining : mining was a fun and sometime profitable hobby for geeks. Now mining is mainly in the hand of few people with farms, asics, botnet ... (I am still mining with a pair of graphic cards, more for the fun than for profit).
Mining should be re-invented to be insteresting for normal people (retributing more the widespread repartition of nodes than the concentration of cpu/gpu/fpga/asic power).

Hello,
The nvidia cuda miner (https://github.com/KlausT/Sia-CUDA-Miner/) is not compatible with 0.4.3 (the miner can't connect properly to the wallet, it may use a deprecated method to get job), I don't know how to join KlausT, do someone from your team could contact him about this or fix it please ?
Thank you for your hard work.
Regards.

Thanks!
I didn't notice and expect this at this stage.
Great!

The project is still in beta stage: for me it is still normal than it isn't useable by non tech oriented people.
On the other hand I agree with you than we will need something more plug & play to reach the masses : upnp, possibility to host files without fixed ip ... with an user friendly GUI.
I suppose the dev team is well aware of these points but they need time ...

+1 : enabling remote access to a computer with cryptocoin wallets is dangerous.

The heavy mining instability is the consequence of the difficulty adjustement  : the block time is directly linked to difficulty (the higher the slower) and hashrate (the lower, the slower). The mining profit is directly linked to the difficulty (and price!).

I noted the following pattern since about 10 days :

step 1 :diff = 100X : at this time : very high --> slow block production because diff is high and hashrate is low since it is not profitable or not the most profitable coin : about 1 block per hour or worse
step 2 : 500 block later (a week or more) : diff is adjusted : 50X (half the previous one) --> about normal block production : hashrate increase since it is profitable, block time seems about normal, some farms and miners are back
step 3: 500 block later (two days) : diff is again adjusted (why?) : about 16X or 25X (half or less thant the previous one): fast block  production with huge hashrate since it is the most profitable coin, private farms jumps with full power.
step 1 again : 500 block later (less than one day) : back to 100x step 1

As you may see we are locked in this circle. To my opinion, difficulty adjustement needs some tweaking for smoother block production : even a public pool may not be enough to fix this (but it will help).

This is probably what the poster wants to do : drive the bitcointalk communauty angry toward xmr communauty  and under pro-xmr wording pointing at the problems inside xmr( delayed gui ...).

When you are solo mining, you need to regularly save your wallet properly (stop the daemon and save the wallet.dat, or directly type the right command in console mode) to be sure that the mined coins which are linked to new generated adresses are taken into account.
Otherwise it could be tricky to recover these.

I am impressed by the maturity here and the spirit within this communauty : price has declined somewhat during the latter months but this communauty has still a rather positive and constructive attitude (in constrast of a lot of coins in similar situations).
The team who has taken over has done a good job.
Now, I am keeping most of the coins I mined...
