[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Nthused]

Simple question. For launch, do we need to download a new wallet or do we continue with 0.3.0b331/updated 0.3.0b331?  

You'll need to re-download. We're working on being able to update by clicking an update button in the UI, but for now you still have to re-download.

Can you post a how to for setting up & mining the test wallet so no one lucks out once the Official release happens ?

Can we only mine using the wallet? or will there also be a pool like suprnova.cc?

The dev mentioned before that a spec will be released shortly and there will be pools in the future but not at the the launch. By the way, maybe someone can set pools by themselves if they are interested in.

I think- solo mining it's interesting. Like to play loto)

Looks like I can add bunches of threads in the testnet wallet miner.

How many is a good amount of threads to have open?

[TerraMaster]

I won't be fooling with GPU mining at least for now. Wait and see if any coin value first. Electricity cost just about kills it. So, I have several CPU's ready for new wallet.

So far on test net I have mined 11 blocks in about 12 hours. Most of that with one thread. ran 3 threads for about 2 hours right after installing wallet. Then turned off 2. So about 6 blocks were found with the one thread. 2937407 SC now, too bad we can't keep them lol

Waiting word from dev for new wallet DL or if we can use the "update" button in existing wallet, that would be nice

CPU mining is now disabled; it's not going to be very useful when some of the GPU miners are getting 20x and 50x improvements over CPU speeds.

So after all that no tutorials or anything to help people setup their wallets and miners, nice

This just seems very unorganized.

This just seems very unorganized.

Little bit harder to give the polished look, when your project didn't start @ coingen i guess.

I think the sw is designed to be idiot proof though from what ive seen.

Thanks for volunteering.

In all seriousness though, there are not very many of us and there's a lot of work that goes into starting a currency. It takes a lot of time and effort, and in the crunch before launch we had to set priorities. Tutorials and such will be out in the coming weeks. Also, you'll get plenty of help if you drop by the slack or our irc channel.

CPU mining is now disabled;

Well that's just great lol, I just dragged out an Dell server with 8 xeon cores and one TB of storage. Guess Ill just mine x11 shit coins. Why not keep CPU? No money in GPU

Taek. Version on windows unworking. Write what this version need to launch by cmd.exe

I think you would do well not to name your coin after one of the creepiest artists out there. Just sayin'
