[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[bitspill]

Okay, bitspill, the bet is on. I'll get the template with I/O and some ARM code to test the designs ready and send that to you - when I do, two weeks from that point is the deadline for the fastest FPGA miner for the Arrow SoCKit.

As we agreed, we can agree to shorten/extend the deadline if we both agree, and 1M Sia reward. Gonna work on that template; it'll be for Quartus Prime 15.1.

Yep, yep. Sounds good.

Is there a richlist available?

Is there a richlist available?

i really never understand how rich list can help to evaluate coins futures...

lol, I just want to know how the total supply is divided.

It's not good if for example 5 people hold 70% of the coins

Could someone please inform me, I want to backup my sia wallet but there is no backup wallet button in the SIA UI... Why not? That's pretty confusing and a nuisance and it shows a lack of thoroughness on behalf of the DEVS. Seriously, you people should be ashamed of yourselves, after such hard work, you neglect an easily accessible wallet back up option in your little menu? Are you serious?

[mitache365]

A lot of accumulating going on......

what does it mean?

that means 100sats.

[Forobitcoins]

Uh... That happened already. Version 0.5.0 released a day after the post you quoted and a day later Version 0.5.1 was released.

of course, you will find your wallet data directly in your sia directory under " /resources/app/sia/wallet " just copy all and save it somewhere.
but be careful if you are mining...

btw...

i have a problem with a older wallet, was not sure if i saved the latest wallet files, now i wanted to check the balances, but the amount is zero.
maybe there is an option to recreate the generated adresses from seed? i have 3 files: "a wallet encryption backup seed" & "wallet.json" & "wallet.log".
in the wallet i have some options to load a old "legacy wallet", to "paste a seed" and to load "a siag key", what are these options in specific (legacy wallet i know)
and what can i do to get the mined coins back?
thanks very much

IMO, we could use some coin control and the ability to dump raw privkeys. I tire of the whole "let's backup the seed using a billion different representations" thing.

It wouldn't be too difficult to code yourself. Encrypted keys on disk are basically a requirement, effective userspace malware is ubiquitous these days. Don't put unencrypted keys in a 'wallet.dat' or 'wallet.json', it's just asking for theft.

I want to dedicate some time to making the wallet + seed UX better, but right now getting the new host+renter protocols online is my absolute priority. We're getting closer every week. We're trying really hard to get the 'rc' for that out by the end of March, seems possible but unlikely. The host just has 1 step left, I'm not sure how much is left for the renter.

forgive my stupidness, but does it mean, my mined coins are not lost?

a lonely answer would be helpful .

This is explained in the SIA FAQ.  You don't need to back-up your wallet.  The password is your wallet.  If you keep the password, went to another PC and installed SIA, the password would provide you with a copy of your wallet information.  Just keep your password in a safe place, and you're all set.

Not true, so I have my password. I redownloaded a copy of the Sia client. There's a button "Create wallet". I click it, dropdown with a few options, which one am I supposed to use? Paste seed seems the only logical thing but that doesn't work with the password, after you paste the seed you have to type another password so that's not it. Please tell me clearly how to do what you say.

Hi there, what is the difference between Storj and SIA?

You have two seeds.  New seed and old seed.

Choose the option to Load Seed.

Input the old seed.

Then you are prompted for the password.

Input the new seed.

While waiting for the blockchain to catch up, do some exercises.  I suggest some jumping jacks.

Two seeds? What are you talking about? I only have 1 password. (auto generated when creating a wallet, nothing else).

If I paste seed, and by pasting seed, you mean pasting my password, after doing that it asks me for another password, which I do not have... Very confusing.

  You have your original wallet seed, right?  Which is your password.  You have that right?   Old Seed.

  Then you made a new wallet, in the new wallet, right?  They gave you another password/seed.   You have that right?  New Seed.


Follow the rest of the instructions above.  That said, it only appears to show the transactions that have taken place, the actual funds in the wallet don't appear to come over, not sure why that is.

He may have hastily clicked away without noticing the new seed. I honestly don't bother with the import function. I just take the entire backed up wallet folder from the old wallet (\resources\app\Sia) and overwrite the new one. May not be the best way, but has worked just fine for me.

ah so it's not in the (\appdata\roaming) file. where is the blockchain stored? somewhere in the \resources folder?

just wondering if I should back up the whole \resource folder or just the wallet section?
