[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[freshman777]

Old wallet files can be imported from the CLI using the following command

Code:

siac wallet load 033x [filepath]

Many thanks.

I tried this but it didn't work in my case.

Did you try this to import siacoins or siafunds? What happened when you tried?

[durerus]

I have only funds on my wallet.dat. It said "handle invalid".

[bubbletea789]

WTS siafunds.

bulk available.
price negotiable.
escrow only.

I have only funds on my wallet.dat. It said "handle invalid".

It reads like Sia can't open a file to read or write. You have all permissions right and the path to 0.3.3 wallet correct?

Can the devs tell if there is a need to mkdir '033x' inside 'wallet' for this write to work?

https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/blob/master/siac/walletcmd.go#L200

Code:

qs := fmt.Sprintf("source=%s&encryptionpassword=%s", abs(source), password)
err = post("/wallet/033x", qs)

Nice will try this, have also some old wallet.dat.

Path was correct and i had admin rights.

Sia Coin (SC) added to votelist cryptopia.  More reach the better folks!  HELP VOTE

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Vote

coin vote round ends in 4 days and current top Dot coin vote is at 2200 Dots = 127,600 sat

end of coin vote round should be easy win for (SC)

Reverted to 0.5.2 but I still can't find blocks.

Is there a limit on how many miners can connect to a single wallet (similarily to maxconnections=x in traditional wallet configs)? I mean I'm mining to one wallet over LAN with a few dozen of cards (1 miner instance per card) and while each miner seem to work fine I'm not sure anymore. The logs are also not helpful. Is there a way to increase the verbosity level of the log?

is it the exact same function as "import legacy wallet" in the gui ?

Any of u guys mine Sia by hosting? I tried for couple days with my ubuntu and it seems there aren't any demand atm. Or any plans with next patch?

I have found one yesterday with 0.6.
What is your hashrate ?
With around 3.5 gh/s, I have found 3 block in June, which is almost in line with the expected average.
You have to take into account that variance increase with the difficulty/yourHashrate ratio : I have find 2 block the 03/06 and 1 the 23/06 and none in between.
If you miner produce hash, it means it is well configured.

One problem I had was with too much downvolting (or overclock with same voltage) : my miner find block which were not accepted by the wallet : I suppose there were calculus error due to too much downvolting.

One other problem may be the miner software : but if it had produce one valid block once it should be Ok.

Hi, is there a working block explorer?
https://explore.sia.tech/ doesn't show anything at the moment..

I found two blocks yesterday and later when I restarted the wallet it only showed one. Guess it takes a lot of time before oprhans are removed from the wallet or it requires a restart.

Or maybe you got hacked like me and many others.
It appears when u mine on a server and your wallet is unlocked and ports are forwardedit is easy for someone to steal your coins.
I got 90 SIA stolen from my wallet which is nothing I transferred them from polo and just left them there and 2 hours ago "I" initiated a -90 transaction, sadly the explorer isn't working so I cant show you.

I don't have any outgoing transactions so I doubt that is the case. One mined block just disappeared without trace.

I have a weird outbound transaction in the GUI instead of being with a red heart icon it is with a red $ icon!
What does that mean?

You may have mined an orphan : I had two block mined according gominer which didn't appeared on the liste of transaction on the wallet : either orphan, either a bug on the miner (my gpu was undervolted maybe too much), either  a bug on the wallet

[king_pin]

Nope that is why I specificaly sad, I send the coins from POLOniex a few days ago as a test, than mined online with that same wallet, and someone initiated a transaction and stole my 90 SIA
The attacker doesnt seem to be able to steal coins if you mine localy...  

P.S. If the hacker is reading this - I hope you give those 90SIA for medicine for your dying children someday!!!

Yes, there is very likely a compromised custom miner version of siaminer.exe that was put out there. It shows a 10% increase in hashrate (likely false since it contains the same opencl as gominer).

Everyone should be using only the official release of the miner or a version that is directly from someone you trust within the community. Also if they gained access to your API port you will want to place your coins in a wallet with a new seed.

Lesson here is not to use strange binaries in the hopes of gaining an edge. Not sure if this applies to what I am reading in the last few posts.

Edit: Also, directly from the developer: "You should never expose your API port over the open internet. At best, it should be localhost only. Otherwise you should be using some form of tunneling to secure the port"
