So, what's the process to get siafunds?

Weird, just reinstalled SIA 3.3 beta and my Glasswire picked it up as Electron? connection any ideas? previous installs it showed the connection as SIA

yes taskmanager shows it as electron as well. Really shows the lack of effort put into the release

Yet the wallet launched as normal (I think lol) and shows 8 peers... I hate to say it, but for the first time in my mining life this coin has me a little stumped all the way around  

[TerraMaster]

DEV: just a suggestion,

is there anyway to release a wallet WITH the CPU miner activated again. (as with the testnet beta) Let users choose for now which route to go until we have a more thought out presentation for GPU mining etc. The thread is cluttered with links and comments and is really getting out of control ATM

I am sure if you do this, "for now" the network hash will definitely rise and get some... coins generated.

EDIT: For me, I am more interested in the storage side of things, and would really accommodate that to run a simple CPU mining type wallet on my servers for example each of which have 1 TB of storage. So would be nice to kill 2 birds with one stone"

Anyone can run miner on some GPU?

[BitcoinForumator]

How do we lower the GPU intensity? Everytime I run "sia-gpu-miner.exe" it reaches about  9.283 MH/s then it gives me this tray message:

"Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered"...

anyone selling sia? message me please

v0.3.2 will not be able to mine on the fullnet. You need v0.3.3.

Mining has been disabled from the UI, but can still be done using the "siac" command-line utility packaged with Sia: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/releases/v0.3.3
To CPU mine, first run "siad", then run "siac miner start [threads]" from a separate terminal.
Unfortunately siac will not display your CPU hash rate, but you can find it by viewing to localhost:9980/miner/status in your browser.

Siad v0.3.3 + Sia-GUI v0.3.2 works fine. I'm find block №101. And now got ~300k sc.

What is it "KS"

1 KS = 1000 SC.

KS i think is kiloSia. 2098.7ks=2098700 sia

I agree, it's a bit unprofessional. Fixing this requires modifying the Windows binary with a tool like ResEdit, and we do all our development on Linux (for now). I think it's pretty apparent that going forward, we need to focus on the Windows experience because that's where most of our users are.

However, I think the word you want is polish, not "effort." We have poured many thousands of man-hours into Sia, but first and foremost we have focused on the core technology, not the look and feel of the application. Rest assured, this will be our top priority for the next few weeks.

45KS per GB. Wow

Granted, I know there has to be many man hours involved.

Is it possible to release a clean ready to mine" wallet with just the CPU mining activated again? as an option? seems there is no reason why not? Better to have many small miners stay involved and pull interest that way.

gpu miner after a bit of time says "curl did not receive enough bytes", restart it, mines 50 blocks per second :-D
need to restart wallet to make it work again.

I guess I don't see the harm in it. I've made a special Windows 64-bit release with the miner view re-enabled: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/download/v0.3.3-beta/Sia-UI-v0.3.3-beta-win64-CPU.zip

The GPU miner seems to be glitching out a bit right now. It's reporting way more blocks than it's actually mining. Seems to be related to the difficulty changing. We're looking into it.

0 mh/s Miner can't find device id. Wait for bugfix

[satoutaka6612]

Anyone can run miner on some GPU?

It failed to get Device IDs: -1
In not GPU miner. Tear

Configuration:
It is booted from the intel onboard video.
AMDx280 and NVIDIA750Ti is attached.
Though SGMiner and ccminer are used,
can not be used sia-gpu-miner.

So, what's the process to get siafunds?

On the Slack, dev mentioned that the Siafund wallet is not ready for today and will be ready later on.
