[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[Tobo]

I can not get the wallet to sync, both CLI or GUI versions. I run the cmd prompt to get siad.exe to run and siac.exe, or I use the GUI instead of siac.exe. Am I doing something wrong? When I use the GUI version it just stays on block 1 with no connection, I've let it stay on for 3 hours with nothing going on. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Have you tried the Sia.exe in the folder of win64 for the Window UI client. Sia.exe works for me all time. I am using the 0.3.3.3 UI. I just double click Sia.exe and wait for the synch.

I have had to add seed nodes a couple of times.  This is currently what I have

Code:

	 84.198.88.87:9981
	 125.54.144.246:9981
	 178.163.29.2:9981
	 91.76.83.7:9981
	 217.65.8.75:9981
	 23.239.14.98:9002
	 178.163.111.100:9981
	 212.96.221.199:9981

You can add them in the cli with

Code:

./siac gateway add 125.54.144.246:9981

for example.

Should work on windows too just get rid of the ./

Once I run this on the cli it connects with the gui.  I am launching the cli in the folder it is unzipped into  linux64/resources/app/Sia  in my case, but I think it was similar when I unzipped it on a windows box.

siac which is my first address created?how to command call it?
siac status--says 9000+ blocks
 or wallet is created empty.and have to siac wallet address-- to make first address+new ones later normally???
siad says

Code:

Database is inconsistent - please reset your database by redownloading it or loading a consistent ba
lose Sia unexpectedly.

did I .ucked and have to redownload chain? while I did run and close it than I immediately ran it again and leaved it to sync

I am here

Code:

Block:  0000000000004cdaa3a25a189a3fde84a8dbe956a065a44d420ea69d40fdf707

Got balance on siac wallet address that I generated with

Code:

siac wallet address

generated. So my question: this was seed/.json-s first address and
how do I command list all addresses in .json? while I created one more
 did write them down so two of them are in seed/json.

Code:

Wallet status:
Encrypted, Unlocked
Confirmed Balance:   30.00 SC
Unconfirmed Delta:  +0.00 SC
Exact:               30000000000000000000000000 H
Siafunds:            0 SF
Siafund Claims:      0 SC

The GPU miner doesn't seem to work with 0.4.0. Am I missing something simple, or are we waiting for an update?

Waiting for an update. Make sure the wallet is unlocked when you are mining. But I think it's broken even if you did unlock the wallet. Looking into it today.

how do I command list all addresses in .json? while I created one more
 did write them down so two of them are in seed/json.

Right now there is no way to list the set of addresses that the wallet has given you before. The wallet.json file generates all addresses from a seed, so when you request a new one it just gets the next one from the seed. In general, address reuse is discouraged. Whenever you need to give someone an address, you should just generate a new one.

In 0.4.0 you don't even need to back up the wallet after generating new addresses. Because everything is generated from a seed, backing up a wallet the first time  will also back up all future addresses.

I have 2 wallet.dat files (on 2 pcs) with total of ~2.25m sia which havent been moved from the addresses that the client see (in wallet tab)

but the client shows 0 balance on both, how do I get those sia out ?

here is one of the addresses - a7ebfbf2dab4ab9255aba6846c6b504edf0a6f6990417c9ee8de5fe1b86e77c6c06bd219f671

Very sweet.
I saw here.yes

Code:

Addresses Remaining 2498

so all I need is
Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed
and
wallet.json
and password-seeds-words

All all right. but if I have 2 addresses in a backup seed with some funds on. how to send/chosse to send from on of them??

Or for now better to have 5 different wallet.jsons and wait for more commands..

It would be sweet to have GUI with local cmd in it "or something like that"...  if there is action "command" in GUI it would show command being typed out in cmd, and vice versa.. some action "command" typed in cmd would be executed in GUI

0842355494b2bdab9598
Could not parse amount: amount is missing units; run 'wallet --help' for a list of units

  because I generated new address after I already generated one with funds in it?
the previous first generated has 30 SC in it. and I want to send from first address to second new one generated

first send recieve funds cha cha, then im heading depper into siac to see what it offers..

Is anyone else having problems with sending Sia coins to Poloniex this morning? I have sent 2 small amounts, neither have yet to post. Its been about 30 minutes or more. I have been sending with no issues the previous 3 days. Everything appears normal from this side with wallet etc. Maybe slow at Poloniex's end?

THX

[mishax1]

What do you see on the explorer ?

[TerraMaster]

What do you see on the explorer ?

Just was looking at that, both show as being sent to Poloniex deposit address as do the previous 9. showing total of 11 now which is the 2 small ones from this morning. But still not posting on Poloniex? Ill give it a little longer. Bu usually they show within minutes on Poloniex.

[sulfurtank]

How many sia has each siafund received to date?

you can see in the block explorer how much SIA has been spent on the file contracts total which if I remember was like only few hundred SIA in total so far so they have received practically nothing and won't start receiving until mass adoption of file contracts begins.

Taek I request you add this mentioned block explorer to the ANN post, b/c my idiot self cannot find it for the life of me.

Either way, a few hundred is pretty neat.

To think, I've done literally nothing, only to come back and find that I now have a few hundred more Sia over a month or two without even having to buy them. Neat.

http://explore.siacoin.com/

I remember wrong actually the total spent on file contracts is ~42000 SIA so if you would own 1% of SIAFUNDS and the reward for SIAFUND holders is 3,9% of all file contracts you would have earned up to date about 16~ SIAcoins with your 1% holdings of SIAFUNDS... as far as I understand... so about 1600SIA have been rewarded in total to all Siafund holders. Considering block reward is 280kSIA from mining that is very puny amount.

LOL you crazy nuts rented out 96 GB of totally unregulated storage for .0002 USD / GB? Come ooooon it's gotta be a little more than that.

Like, 100x more.

Nope. We are in early stages all storage rented out have been for testing purphoses. Market will set the correct price eventually when file contracts start mass adpotion.

Each user only needs 1 set of file contracts to cover all of their files. A set, in the network at scale, will be somewhere between 50 and 200 file contracts. This will fit as many files as they need, 100,000,000 2kb files can fit inside of a single set of 200 file contracts.

Is your 'siad' all caught up? Also, did you try restarting the 'said'? The coins should appear in the wallet after you restart it, I'm not sure why they aren't currently appearing in the wallet.

All all right. but if I have 2 addresses in a backup seed with some funds on. how to send/chosse to send from on of them??

Or for now better to have 5 different wallet.jsons and wait for more commands..

There's not a way to choose which address you send from. What is the use case for doing so?

Generally you should distinguish who is sending money by giving them a unique address to send to.

It would be sweet to have GUI with local cmd in it "or something like that"...  if there is action "command" in GUI it would show command being typed out in cmd, and vice versa.. some action "command" typed in cmd would be executed in GUI

That sounds like a good plugin to write for the UI. I don't think it would be very difficult to write either.

Looks like all deposits and withdrawals on poloniex are broken right now. I have sent them an email, not sure if they work weekends though. We'll be addressing the issue asap.

You are always telling me to restart...  What do mean by caught up ?

I started using the command line instead the UI to try an get some more info and control but that didn't help much.. started merging wallets to see if I get anything..
currently getting

Code:

Wallet status:
Balance:   0.00 SC
Exact:     10000000000000 H
Addresses: 204

What do mean by caught up ?

Is your block height the same as the block height reported by the block explorer?

Well sure it is.

[Taek]

Well sure it is.

Then I'm not sure.

Did you wait 144 blocks, and are you certain that the given address is in  the wallet? How do you know that the address is in the wallet?

Said it here... the UI shows the addresses.

Has anyone tested the IPv6 compatibility?
