[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[NoBit]

Me and my crappy internet.

Went to bed with 4 mining rigs hashing and finding blocks. 350 MH. Sometime in the night around 3am I think the load crashed my internet. (all on wireless) Woke up and had to reboot. But appears up to that time I mined around 300 blocks. Just got them all back up and running. Only the later 3 rigs don't show the blocks as confirmed yet, possibly because internet went down?

My main rig I tested on shows 1,780.3 KS But had ran that rig much longer while testing. I lost 7 hours of mining SIA  lol

One rig has found 6 blocks in the last 15 minutes, so all seems to back in order.

I am a little concerned as 2 miners, in the wallets do not show any peers? yet wallet says up to date? ok will see if those wallet get confirmed coins.

Still using original mining software..

wow 300 blocks is like 17% of all mines coins. what are you planing to do with so much siacoins?

What does block height in wallet represent? as it is different in each wallet. At first I  though it was the current block? but that number seems to match the number of blocks found on each rig?

block height is the length of the blockchain, it should be the same in all wallets if they are synced.

Probably be a bag holder like the rest of my coins lol

Blocks would have been double plus had my internet not gone down. I think the load of this mining software crashed it. Very rarely do I crash internet.  Had to reboot the DSL modem and attached wireless routers, sux.

The miner has been reporting false blocks, no way did 300 blocks get mined with 95MH. My miner showed 4000 blocks at one point.

Edit: Oops, 350MH/s is what you had... maybe but I would not keep my fingers crossed that those are all legit. I have had 17 blocks actually rewarded with 72MH/s.

That's what I thought, I may have a problem then. with the 3 newer wallet installs. But they all match my main ones version numbers and its up to date showing block 1849 right now? Why would they not sync I wonder, and they say up to date when I reopen them up, wallets... Hope I haven't mined on a wrong chain or something silly? This rig my main one shows the KS confirmed and block height seems correct.

Will follow up. I used the wallet from SIA.com last night for the other 3 rigs... hmmm got me wondering now?

was hashing with 350 MH that's the block count when I got up and looked at them. I have 1,792.3 confirmed KS in this wallet here. Not sure how many blocks that represents... I guess in coins that's 1792. x 1000 sia? still figuring this all out

That is 6 blocks. My miner went down overnight too, the stability is lacking but I am glad to have something generated.

I will try my hand at mining some SIA. I have a few AMD rigs. Any suggestions for mining this algo?

Yes 6x300,000? lol, anyways I hope there is more unconfirmed,,, going to try the check for unconfirms. Yes you just about have to babysit the rigs while mining lol... extremely unstable right now.

I am trying to figure out why my other 3 rigs only are showing a block height equal to the amount of blocks mined as shown in the miner itself,,, can't be good. Is there any way we could have a fork in the block chain anywhere?

devs? is that possible?

Even with incorrect block heights showing I do show 2-3 peers, and on this rig, I do show 8 peers and have many confirmed coins... ok,,, lots to investigate

If you aren't properly connected to the network, you won't show the right number of blocks. The current block height is 1878. I strongly doubt that there is a fork, most likely you aren't connected to the network correctly.

Are you using version 0.3.3?

Yes 3.3 no CPU miner. but on the 3 rigs each is showing a block height that is different from the rest. and that block height matches the number of blocks found. EX: rig 2 shows 120 block height, miner shows 120 blocks found. 2 peers. all show up to date when I press update or reboot wallet. That's why I was worried about a possible fork?

FROM the wallet" SIA-UI version:0.3.0 b365
                          SIA version: 0.3.3

And this is what I have installed on all rigs. This rig seems correct block height now at 1888 and has confirmed coins.

sounds like you never downloaded the blockchain and simply started from 0 ^^

so far no fork - not even at early fast blocktimes

[TerraMaster]

But after installing wallets I got the wallet up to date? and would it not update the blockchain on its own? I did install wallets quickly on other 3 rigs and as soon as they were up I started the miner.

So as of now those 3 show block heights equal to blocks found, ok any suggestions then? lol

[TerraMaster]

If I reinstall the wallet again, will it overwrite existing data files in appsdata folder or will it keep that existing data files OR is there a way to back up data files other then cut and paste them to a safe folder before reinstall. Trying to see if wallets sync up but don't want to loose what has been mined, if it really has? lol

How do I find out if I mined some real blocks? My miner says 42 mined blocks. Should I just wait and see if anything confirms?

So I guess no mined blocks?

guess so too

also checkout http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status
says how many blocks you mined
