Update about the issues in different exchanges (statement from the official Discord):

The Sia team has been actively working to fix some of the underlying issues that have recently affected the exchanges.  They are working on new algorithms for rebroadcasting transactions on the blockchain (PR #2611, #2599, #2598), have added an API endpoint for confirmed transactions (PR #2614), and have added new regression tests for the wallet’s transaction output (PR #2608, #2601).  The team is well aware of the exchange issues and these improvements are in support of a long-term fix, rather than a band-aid.  You can follow the development progress on GitHub, or stay up to date via reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7ld1ic/siacoin_exchange_issues_megathread/.


Please remind the hardfork on block 139.000 (in about 19 days) will not generate a second coin (no "airdrop"). This fork will be non-contentious, it is just a protocol upgrade aimed to correct a bug in the mining difficulty. All the infrastructure (mining pools, exchanges, services) and users are upgrading to version 1.3.1, so the legacy blockchain will be abandoned.

If you have coins already on an exchange there is nothing to do, as they have already upgraded. If you hold your coins in the Sia-UI client just be sure it is updated to version 1.3.1. Even if it is in an outdated client or in cold storage you'll still keep your coins as long as you keep your recovery seed: at any time in the future you just have to install an updated client and use your seed to access your funds

20 days ago i tried a withdrawal of 500'000 sc on polo and it says Complete: Error,,,

i opend a ticket 20 days ago and still no answer...

poloniex support ticket #596763

The only thing probably dead is the judgment skills of some people. Evaluating the status of a project by the price charts vs Bitcoin is a nosense, as Bitcoin has increased by 7x its value in the current year. It is like stating that you are driving backwards in a highway just because a faster car passed you by. If you compare the price vs FIAT, the value of SC has been moving in the range of 0.35-0.5 cents of dollar for several months.

But still, evaluating a project just by a price chart is dumb, and the biggest mistake of "investors" of the cryptosphere. Have you ever seen a Wall Street investor just looking stock charts exclusively and not quarterly reports, operational milestones and so of the companies he invests in?.

I posted this yesterday here, lets recap some facts:

<<Siacoin and the Sia network are working and healthy: Only yesterday 811 new contracts were formed for 2TB of new data stored on the network: https://siastats.info/new_contracts.html.

14414 new transactions on the network yesterday: https://siastats.info/transactions.html

Yesterday we reached a new yearly record of active contracts, with a total of 71472 https://siastats.info/active_contracts.html

6 Pull Requests have been merged to the main code on the last 7 days: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/pulse . 24 merged Pull Requests and 90 closed Issues in the last month. This public progress report was made by the CEO of Nebulous and Core developer David Vorik 4 days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/78nr20/development_and_progress_update/

"Has anyone used the services of SIa project" you ask, @savetytdpbl? With more than 95TB of storage usage, 3.2PetaBytes of offered storage (https://siastats.info/hosts_network.html) and more than 300TB of used storage in the history of Sia (https://siastats.info/total_contracts.html), I would say: Obviously yes, and very successfully so far>>

Quote me on December or whenever you wish. If you really think that the value the coin will have on December has any relevance, you don't understand anything about Sia or the cryptoshere in general. Sia has an ambitious roadmap for the next 18 months. Let the core developers fulfill it and then come back to see where Siacoin is in terms of value

Hi there! My apologies for not getting back to you immediately. We have quite some channels that need to be monitored and as we are an actual operational ticketing company, see all the events we allready ticket with our blockchain based ticketing application here. You can see all events we sell tickets for here https://events.guts.tickets/events. Tonight we have a theater show in Doetichem that we'll ticket, ownership changes are registered here: https://kovan.etherscan.io/address/0x327921c956f3db3a0920a0f79f32adc0a6f27237. So enough info, I presume you have checked out our website so you'll already know most of what I just said. 

it is true that there are some initiatives like the one you linked to that on the surface look like they are efforts to really 'help the fan'. But if you research Live Nation a bit you'll know they are playing all sides of this market at the same time. I also mention this in our blogpost about our short-term roadmap and will go into more depth on this in my next blog. If these companies would really want to eliminate ticket fraud and scalping they already could have done so allready, but they don't because it will hurt their bottom line.

Great news Kasper! Can you maybe elaborate on my questions I asked earlier?
See here:

The pre-ico is almost filled (at 90% now) please note that we put the 6 ETH max cap per white lister there for a reason! We are pretty much pre-marketing at this point and the goal here was to build a base of advocates. And with +600 people contributing to the pre-sale I can safely say we have a base allright! 

Some things I can't figure out from your whitepaper and your posts in this thread is;
How big is the actual problem in the secondary market? Do you have any data around the amount of 'honest people' want to sell their ticket on the secondary market?
Are you really taking away the problem with this new tech? And is it even a problem, with services like Ticketswap already in place?

Another point I want to raise is that the NBA in the US uses https://www.ticketexchangebyticketmaster.com/ to resell tickets. Resold tickets are issued on the new buyers name. How do you plan to beat this big player with a huge market share and already available technology?

Curious to hear the answers!

Incredible how you keep going! As the developer, what do you think is the most important feature of viacoin? Speed, security, swap or something else?
