[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[chrysophylax]

i cannot recover my wallet with seed,  balance is 0.

Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem, recovered my seed but balance is 0

We found the issue, and a fix is in the works. In the meantime, you can do this operation:

1. Close Sia, If you are in the UI, start by going to the terminal tab and run the command 'stop'. Then close the gui.
2. Restart Sia. Do not unlock the wallet.
3. Go to the terminal tab and run the command 'wallet init-seed --force'. You will be asked for a seed, provide your seed. It will then rescan the blockchain, which takes like 40 minutes on an SSD and several hours on an HDD.
4. You should get your coins back at that point.

We have a fix coming, including:

+ rescan times cut to about 15% of what they currently are
+ 'load seed' will find your balance instead of reporting zero

Should be out in the next few weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

hi taek ...

been a long time ...

i followed what you have specified to do - and after the input of the command - there was no request for a seed ... just an error -

Code:

wallet init-seed --force
Seed: stty: 'standard input': Inappropriate ioctl for device

it has a spinning gear next to the command and sits there ...

also - i have few earlier wallets from when you first started this project - till about a year ago ...

i have a few wallets that have 'wallet.json' files as their wallets ... how would i import what is in those wallets to the current one? ...

i just started mining sia,

qusetion is, can i use the exchanger wallet? or can i use my sia wallet that is still synchronizing?

thankyou

Hi, I'm mining too. With Marlin.
Look at this link: https://siamining.com/help
I preffer to withdrawal SC to my wallet directly but It seems you can use exchange address.

Actually I'm using v.1.2.1 Wallet (Windows) and works fine. I tested it to transfer coins from an exchange to my wallet and I recived them correctly.
(Remember that: when you open SiaWallet it will be syncing. When it will sincronize, sure balance will be 0. You need to unlock your wallet:
1. Click Wallet (left).
2. Window "Wallet locked": enter your password.
3. Message appears: "Unlocking your wallet, this may take a while (up to several minutes)..."
4. There they are.

With the mining, the minimum to recive your coins is  2000 SC (but I don't remember where I read that).

Maybe Siacoin can consider Bittrex and Liqui.

[abbaw]

can I get the email for the Siacoin team members? I have some proposals.

Coming to our Slack is preferable https://slackin.sia.tech

But you can email me at zach at sia.tech

What is the difference with the storj?

[BitWhale]

^ Sia's not a counterparty asset for one. :p

It wouldn't be a bad idea to hold a lil bit of all 3 though, they are all more similar than different. I personally like Sia because it's a working stand-alone system that is much cheaper than tradition cloud storage options. I've never tried Storj, I don't like messing with CP assets, it's rather confusing. I remember when I got free Storj but didn't have Xcp to move them out of my counter-wallet. At the time, it would've cost more than it's worth to move them, so I never did. That is my problem with Storj, though being the noob that i am, I'm sure I went about it all wrong so chaulk that up to being retarded lol.

If/When MaidSafe goes live, they will probably take off too with their plans of decentralized internet and all of that fun stuff. I never invest in Ico's, I'll buy them after though once I know they aren't vaporware.

I think the winner of the "storage wars" (pun intended) will be much like all of the other coins that won out over their peers (Dash, Monero, Eth, Nem, etc etc etc). The winner will be the one that spends the most money/effort on advertising and getting the word out.

Give SIA time and you'll be rewarded. Personally, it is my favourite project.

Does SIA use PoW still? Why it is not PoS? This coin would be x10 now if it used some trendy stuff like masternodes.

sc already inside polo and might be much better to added it up to trex instead, but the more the better so keep casting your vote
for this coin being added to nova as well, value of this coin is rising so make sure you are not left behind.

that is cool.I will do it.

[Arvydas77]

It is always good to be on many exchanges and Bittrex with Liqui are good choices (I'm surprised that SC isn't there). Never know when and for what reasons Polo will decide to delist it.

I am syncing Wallet, but it will not be 100% even after more than two days. Is this normal?
Is there a way to synchronize quickly?

Hello guys, tried to fix the 0 balance issue

I have the same problem
We really need an update for Sia UI

[Makka]

I wanna be a millionaire so fucking baaad! This will happen if 1 SC becomes $1. I know it's too early to say but we are really early birds on these great crypto decentralized technology.

[Ridley69]

I don't think it will reach 1$...
But 0.005 / 0.006 is possible
