no idea what port forwarded means at all....some layman terms please if anyone knows, I'm on a mac.
its the port that is to be opened to the internet via your router / modem and data that is directed to that port to be redirected ( forwarded ) to the destination computer ... when the port is opened to the internet - and data comes in through that port - then you need to tell that data where to go ... that is the role of the router / modem in as much layman terms as i can muster  ... of course the modem / router does a LOT more than that - but that is one of the facilites it provides ... sia has a particular port that needs to be open to the internet to communicate to other sia agents ( wallets ) ... sia also had an issue with its 'announcement' that sia is available through that port to accept connects ( and data ) to store files and work as it should ... this wallet has the facility to force announcement whether it can see an open port or not ... i just dont know how that is to be achieved as i cant find the commands to do such a thing ... i hope that helps - and hasnt confused you ... #crysx |

Do I need sia coins to let my hard drive space be used?
No, however later down the line it will be possible to offer your own coins as collateral to back file contracts.
Will it be used instantly or must i wait for it to be actually used?
Disk space will be used as contracts are uploaded, not allocated in one shot.
I'm getting error 400, ensure forward port 9982?
Is the port forwarded? Firewalls? UPNP enabled? Other than that I'm not much help on this question, sorry.
the port forward error is an old one and - as we can see - a persistent one ... taek has issued an addendum to the instructions ( which for the life of me i cannot find ) that specifies how to force an announce fromt he wallet - even though sia itself cant see an open port ... its the same issue we have here - and i cant announce the storage space due to this issue - but the forwarding and network components are all setup ... we have a very different network setup from the average user anyway - but a port forward to a static ip should work ... it doesnt ... im looking for the instructions on how to force announce your host ... can anyone help here? ... #crysx If you have Sia 0.4.x then manually announcing from the command line should force the announce. siac host announce ip:port tanx bitspill ... thats what i wanted ... this command forces the announce does it not? ... #crysx |

Sia is trading at 14 satoshi at the moment, I wonder when it will be back on its feet and trading at the 30s or more.
Goodluck to the continuing works being done here for the project.

I've run the new sia-ui 4.0.2 (x64) and load my old wallet. It showed full balance. Yesterday I've sent my funds to poloniex and it comes from my sia wallet. Today I see 0 of 6 confirmations in my Poloniex sia wallet and 10 Sia in my desktop wallet. I've waited for 12 hours but no way. My sia haven't come to polo account. Where can I find my funds? Please help.
P.S. Is there working block explorer?

Blocks have been coming extremely slowly lately, difficulty rose and many miners left. Block explorer is http://explore.siacoin.com however it's currently experiencing issues and should be back in a week or so. |

Couldn't said it better. But 14 sat gives room for some more investment. I frankly can't understand how anyone now will lose money long-term Awesome work, guys! |

Now it shows Block Height: 16437. But there is pendin status and 0 of 6 confirmations in polo account. Maybe fork? |

I couldn't get past block 16420, so I stopped the gui and killed the daemon.
Now when I run it I get this error and it stops:
database guard indicates inconsistency within database
What to do?
i have had the sia wallet open AND unlocked and left it over night after importing all the coins from the old wallets ... at first the new wallet ( 0.4.2 ) didnt show any sign of having anything done except for the acknowledgment that the legacy wallets were imported ... shortly after - about an hour i guess - it showed all the coins in the wallet ... and the 'current' block height ... since we cant check via the sia explorer - i took it as working and current ... bed - sleep - woke ... i find the wallet has increased by 5 blocks only - and that all still seems well with it as far as i can tell ... im now worried about shutting the wallet down - 'just in case' there really is something wrong ... too many coins to lose now - all consolodated into one wallet ... will leave it open until taek comes out with some announcement of what to do ... i still have a great deal of work left on my end - and will be working through the weekend to get them all running for GRN and thefarm and the donation sevrers ... ive stopped mining sia for the time being - but still VERY interetsed in the project ... ive pmd you back pallas - let me know what your thoughts are please mate ... as we can implement a few ideas with sia also ... tanx ... #crysx Both Minerman and Pallas corrupted the database. You CANNOT kill the Siad process in the task manager. You MUST use Siac to close Siad. Simply delete the database file and reload. It is planned for a fix in the next GUI I think. How can i close siad with siac (windows), without crashing or corrupting the database? |

So for those of us who killed siad using task manager, does this mean we have also lost our coins and any uploads stored in new wallet? Hard to imagine that.

The following is relevant to linux. 'cmd' tool in windows may enable similar results. 'siac' is a file name in linux, 'stop' is the command for 'siac'. This (and similar commands) need to be run from the directory this file resides in. Stopping the 'siad' this way should save the blockchain database in a few minutes. Unfortunately there is no 'progress indication' of either saving the database was completed or not. The following command can be used to see if 'siad' processes terminated. No output should mean the 'siad' process stopped and the database was saved. Disclaimer: The 'ps aux | grep siad' was not tested. |

No you still have your coins : try deleting resources\app\Sia\consensus\* or - copy your resources\app\Sia\wallet\* - start with a fresh install, but copy & paste the wallet directory and start the client. |

Failing to save local blockchain database properly should only mean your local machine/wallet has inconsistent state (for example, no transactions seen, or no coins received). The blockchain should be resynced (the old/corrupted blockchain databased should be removed) and the new/consistent blockchain state should reflect the changes made to your wallet/coins. It is better to unlock your wallet only after the blockchain was synced. Also, mind, one confirmation (one block mined) can take very long time. This would continue until the difficulty is recalculated for the current hashing power. And this should happen after some number of blocks (500 minus whatever # found so far) were mined. Seems like some time ago, a lot of hashing power joined the network, mined a lot of coins, dumped some. The mining difficulty was raised, that hashing power left the network. The current hashing power is not enough to keep finding block every 10min. This should change when the difficulty is recalculated. That is just one unfortunate/ugly side effect of POW (proof of work) algorithm of securing the blockchain. Mining pools should scale this problem down. |

I cleaned the database after the corruption.
Synced again, now stuck at block 16294.
Is it the last block?

having pools will not change that. having a faster difficulty adjustment and a stable price will. |

No you still have your coins : try deleting resources\app\Sia\consensus\* or - copy your resources\app\Sia\wallet\* - start with a fresh install, but copy & paste the wallet directory and start the client. Hey I tried the second option first, not much luck other than I was able to unlock the clean install of wallet. So I am back to my original wallet and deleted the consensus file and wallet began to update blocks etc. BUT, during that sync I went ahead and unlocked the wallet and it now seems that the blocks/wallet has have stopped syncing? and I do not see coins imported yet from legacy wallet nor do I see a file I uploaded. ok, just saw post where it says to allow full sync before unlocking lol Step 1 seems to work better than step 2. Will edit if I sync and see coins and stored data. Thanks! EDIT: just deleted consensus file again and killed siad. Restarted wallet but will allow it to sync fully before unlocking... see if that prevents it from getting stuck syncing. Then unlock.... |
