[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[pallas]

So there are at least 2 people claim they are mining at x10 times faster than the rest of us...   Wanna sell us your config ?  

not config changes, miner rewrite ;-)

EDIT: a quick run on 290x shows more than 1Gh/s

and there is a deal to be made for the dev that does the deal with us here ...

let me know ...

To devs: it`s no problem to make a single wallet for several gpu-rigs - just copying 2 folders from one rig to another.
But is it correct to launch one wallet with the same address from several rigs to mine simultaneously?

no, please don't use the same wallet file in multiple places at once. It's going to jumble your addresses. Only move the wallet around for backup purposes.

At some point we'll have better support for merging, splitting, encrypting, and backing up wallets. Right now it's a pretty simple construction though. Every 'siad' should have its own wallet file, and each wallet file should only be in use one-at-a-time. You should also backup frequently if you spend a lot of money - you'll notice that the wallet gets bigger over time.

There are ways we can make this better, but we're prioritizing other things first. We'll get to it in a few weeks hopefully.

Dev There is any plan to add Sia on some big exchanges like Cryptsy,Bittrex,Bter or C-cex?

Yes there is, we've reached out to them all. We haven't heard anything back yet. It might help if you guys submit requests as well.

Hey Mac users... I think I stumbled onto a combo GUiI CL mining trick here

 with siad running, I started the beta client that had mining built in.  It is showing 12 peers and Block2514 now

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7z4474ih322nhxy/Screenshot%202015-06-09%2009.49.30.png?dl=0
 screen shot here of versions

and then when i load http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status I see

Code:

 {"State":"On","Mining":true,"Threads":4,"RunningThreads":4,"HashRate":2243835,"BlocksPerWeek":0.404438796043396,"BlocksMined":0,"OrphansMined":0,"Address":"51b20e280a593db0c24f76a9aa126e86dd2edeb82ce4292d9bb7109b848dbbb4"}

the wallet address is not the same as in the client, which makes me believe its running off the CL, but mining off the client. cool.


update! I control-c quit siad in the cl, and the client lost its peers, and dropped its threads. localhost lost its node. Q.E.D.

If I want to build a storage rig how many TB or GB should I have for 1Mbs of upload/download ?

What is the best ratio ?

Seeing as no one is using the storage service, the best advice would be a guess. I'd say stick whatever you have in there. Don't spend an extra dime. If you fill it up, add more.

Nobody is using it because I set the default price at some absurd value, and nobody has lowered it. The next release is going to have a lower default, and I'm going to encourage everyone to lower their price until they start getting files.

Nobody wants to dump 60 KS on a 100mb upload.

strange saic command line display, anyone knows what it means ? (suppressed balance) also confirmed and unconfirmed number (balance) matches exact

./siac wallet
Wallet status:
Balance:   nnnnnnnnn (confirmed)
                nnnnnnnnn (unconfirmed)
Addresses: 8495

cranking GPU's but still 0 balance.. as per 24 hours, nervous yet excited, I imagine developing (and not) countries using feature of this coin to make revenue, even off small storage, great idea!  

larger data centers could also off load storage (or companies) for cash later ** sorry not cash, thats anti crypto talk  for some other materials or service

nobody is using it CURRENTLY I meant. Also almost nobody has any coins to pay for storage with. There is a lot of infrastructure still growing and needed before we can worry about how many TB/1mbit line like the OP was asking.

I'd lower my storage fees to almost zero but still can't get my portforwarding to announce. ports are wide open in netgear..

Sia provides a marketplace/platform for storage. How to build their business in this marketplace will be mostly subjected to the business persons themselves. They have to figure out strategies to build their business. For instance, they can offer free storage in the beginning to promote their business and reputation. As long as this platform provides good business opportunities, the business persons will come just like miners are coming to mine because they see the opportunities to make profits.

Thanks for posting! Did you use the "sia-gpu-miner-mac64" file or just the electron wallet file after running siad? I run siad and then opened the wallet but http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status shows mining: false.  I also had the same problem that when I ran siad my addresses in the wallet were different and my balance lost.  Once I stopped siad and reopened the wallet I had my old addresses and balance back.

So I was mining on two computers all night.  I didn't mean to but I now see I was mining both on the same wallet.  Now one wallet has a balance and the other still does not even though the address shows the same? Anyone tell me what happened?

When you mine a block, it adds an address to your wallet, so even though the two wallets share some addresses, any mining-related addresses created after you copied the wallet from one to the other are only stored in the wallet from the daemon that mined the block.

For example, I ran EC2 instances which all had the same 'wallet' (created an AMI), but each's wallet changed once they mined a block, and each had a different balance.

Ok thank you for the explanation I thought it might be something like that but had no idea for sure.

@Vorksholk What instance type did you use?  I guess spot instances might not be good to use since the mined block will not be shared with the common wallet?

Shapeshift.io would be great for Sia. Now it has an app. It is fast, simple and without registration. StorjX is there - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702602.msg11576014#msg11576014
