[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Pito001]

I want to buy some coins but i heard few days/weeks ago some people lost their coins in the wallet. Is this issue still present?

I think if people usually back up their wallets , it is impossible to loose their amounts..

I refer to this:

Need this to be solved before the fork.

I have 2 wallet.dat files (on 2 pcs) with total of ~2.25m sia which havent been moved from the addresses that the client see (in wallet tab)

but the client shows 0 balance on both, how do I get those sia out ?

here is one of the addresses - a7ebfbf2dab4ab9255aba6846c6b504edf0a6f6990417c9ee8de5fe1b86e77c6c06bd219f671

And as i know it wasn´t the only one but too lazy for more searching

That bug is fixed. It's suggested however to wait for the next gui release to transfer your sia to the new version. According to what I read here it should be released tomorrow.

Awesome man, looking forward to it.

Alright, 0.4.1 is ready, both the CLI and the GUI.

CLI: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/releases/tag/v0.4.1-beta

GUI: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/tag/v0.4.1

3 important things:

- If you unlock the wallet before the blockchain finishes downloading (you can compare to the height at explore.siacoin.com), the program will slow down substantially and may appear like it is frozen. Until we fix this issue, it's best to wait to unlock your wallet until the blockchain is fully downloaded. Depending on your computer, this will take between 20 minutes and 9 hours (it's much faster on SSDs).

- You can now import legacy wallets (only after wallet is unlocked), but your new coins will not show up until after you restart siad.

- Starting Sia can take a while. For some people it's just a few seconds, but for others it's several minutes.


If you wish to import a legacy wallet:

1. Download 'Sia' and let it fetch the whole blockchain.

2. Unlock the wallet (before you unlock the wallet the first time, you need to initialize it. In the GUI, initialization is automatic. In the CLI, you can do `./siac wallet init`)

3. Load the legacy wallet. (in the GUI, there's a 'load legacy wallet' button. In the CLI, you can use `./siac wallet load 033x [filename]`)

4. after the wallet has loaded, you must restart 'siad' for the coins to show up You can stop siad by running `./siac stop`, or by killing the process from the task manager.

Wow, good job.
Nice to see new wallet with this market movement.

[mirny]

Downloaded new GUI Wallet, it's looking fine, but in the about column I see: Sia UI version: 0.4.0, Sia version: 0.4.0

[aldonza]

Just downloaded the new GUI client it seems pretty fluid at the moment

Yeah we forgot to bump the version numbers. We'll fix it tomorrow (we're taking it easy today - long week).

OK, it's not a big issue, but I didn't set any password to my wallet, now it's locked, and I have no idea which password to enter.

The first time you opened the wallet it gave you a password and told you to write it down. If you didn't grab it then, the only way to get it back is to stop siad, delete the wallet.json file, then start again.

You're not the only person who didn't get the password on the first try, we'll have to change it so that you can keep asking for the password until the first time you unlock the wallet (which requires the password). That at least guarantees that users realized there was a password before closing the window.

Hmm maybe I missed that, but I didn't seen any password that wallet should gave me, there was just some disclaimer about passwords.
And now, I deleted json wallet, killed siad process manually and this is all what wallet is saying, no password at all.

Oh.   

What is your screen resolution? We forgot to add a scrollbar, so you can't see the password on small screens 

We'll  try to have a fix out in the next few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

taek ...

mine did exactly the same thing ... no password and even when the wallet.json file was deleted and the wallet reopened - no password shown ...

im hd - so screen res is not the issue ...
