[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Hakkane]

1600 contract and 50000 sia coin went to fork cause the new version will not load after I upgraded from 1.2.1 to 1.3.1  Says it encounters a fatal error and then hangs with error messages. \

Check this post for solving those issues: https://blog.sia.tech/troubleshooting-the-recent-hardfork-ca77e0b17f0f

BTW, coins are never lost because of a wallet issue. This is a blockchain: coins do not live in wallets, but in the blockchain, and as long as you keep the recovery seed, you'll have access to your funds

Thanks for the link!!  
I was/am mostly concerned about the contracts I have built up, and the hosting service.  It it took me forever to get up to volume of hosting contracts.  Any idea what the time frame is before host defaults and looses the collateral due to server MIA.  

NP! Yes, you are required an uptime of 97%. Even if you have 2-3 days of downtime every 3 months, you are still good.

I am concerned that as you have not updated your client since last week when the hardfork took place, you might have lost some storage proofs, and so some contracts might be failing... Nevertheless the reputation of your host as observed by the renters should be good as even if your host was outdated and forked out, your data was available.

But try to restart your host as soon as possible: delete the consensus and sync your client again. If you are using a HDD for the installation instead of an SSD, consider bootstrapping to save time: https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain

And if you find problems not being able to sync the last blocks, try this fix: http://siastats.info/nodes.html

so deleting the consensus got the wallet out of the error mode, it has been stuck on block 82960 for the last couple of hours.  I added at least 10 gateway connect addresses from the link above...  nothing... think I will look into the bootstrap above.  I did see references to deleting the  transactionpool.db, am considering adding that step, if delete consensus and then bootstrap doesn't work out.  will see.

[Crypto_Future]

[khash4u]

Is SIACOIN pumping right now?

No

Its up around 70% right now VS BTC price and on Bittrex exchange volume doing higher then poloniex  with an increased spot price. Keep the momentum going guys for the siacoin selloff in the next few days when BTC reaches new milestone of $24K USD.

Yess baby

100 Sat today !

[Delphinus]

With all the shitcoins, people seem to be return to coins with an actual business case.

[Weider]

So can we expect 1.3.1 release next week? It might pump the price even higher.

What will happen to mining difficulty? Does anyone know?

In the last hardfork of last week a change in the Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm was introduced to correct the difficulty every block instead of every 3-4 days. However there is a bug that is targeting to 30 minutes blocks instead of the usual 10 minutes, what is making the difficulty to be 3x what it should be.

In the upcoming 1.3.1 version (currently in beta-testing, general release next week) a new hardfork will be introduced at block 139000 (in about 6 weeks) to correct this bug in the DAA and return the difficulty and the block time to normal values.

so what you are saying after the upcoming fork 3x upping 100x300 satoshi ratio ? :-D weeee

thank you in advance.

[phantailaptopbl]

let 's wait sia tech. SC can go to the moon soon

[asuusa]

I hope that all of these problems will be resolved soon, since i think this has a huge potential . And not only in direct usage but also in other industries where safety would be very important regarding storage.

dam me to i have a withdraw what not show on my wallet

Check the transaction ID ("hash" or "TxID") in https://explorer.siahub.info/ on the "hash" search box.

- If it doesn't show any result, the transaction does not exist on the blockchain. Open a support ticket on the exchange.

- If it exists, check that your Client is fully sync. If it says it is sync but in a block height under 137200, or you are having problems syncing, follow the instructions at: http://siastats.info/nodes.html

Guys, do you have data on how many clients store files in your network?
