[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[DragonETH]

Can anyone here please advice a place where I can read detailed summary about the SC? 1st post in this thread is a little bit complicated, I'd better read a short summary... Also, any faucets for SIA?

I am also interested in this project, I want to know where to read about development plans and when the end point of the development release

This infography is very simple to understand: https://i.imgur.com/pjzvL0u.jpg


Check the webpage and the video on it, too: https://sia.tech/

There is this faucet, but I am not sure if it is working anymore: http://siapulse.com/page/faucet

noob miner started mining. Please anyone know how to get more than 1 worker? Here is the syntax I use for 2 worker using gominer.




from sia.nanopool.org

gominer.exe -I 28 -H sia-us-east1.nanopool.org:9980 -Q
"address=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&worker=worker1&email="
"address=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&worker=worker2&email="

I have 2 GPUs but only seeing 1 worker.

EDIT: Disregard looking like both devices are being used with 1 worker.

Hakkane, thanks a lot! This was exactly I was looking for. I'll test the faucet soon

Sia made CNBC: Bitcoin 'nerds' give way to Wall Street suits at digital currency conference: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/25/bitcoin-nerds-give-way-to-wall-street-suits-at-digital-currency-conference.html

At Consensus "there were a lot of suits," David Vorick, co-founder and CEO of Sia, a cloud computing company based on blockchain, said of his experience at Consensus. "It just felt like everybody was there doing business. Even myself. I was wearing a suit, and that's not my natural state of being."

Guys sorry if it's a stupid question, but i downloaded latest Sia-UI and i still don't see my coins

Is it normal? I thought 1.2.2 would fix the issue

Pleas give some details so we can help you! When did you send your coins to your address?

- Are them from a very old wallet like version 0.3? Then go to the terminal and type "siac wallet load 033x <path of the wallet>"

- Recently, from Poloniex? There are experiencing huge problems with withdrawals. Open a ticket with them

Bought from Shapeshift in this month, no old wallet nor Polonium

Tried using "wallet init-seed --force" but that didn't work out either, this is the error i get

error when calling /wallet/init/seed: wallet has not been encrypted yet

First: Check the transaction went actually into the blockchain. Shapeshift should have provided you a TxID of the withdrawal: check it at http://explore.sia.tech/

Secondly: If not a problem about Shapeshift let's see your wallet. Basic stuff: are you pasting the recovery seed exactly as it is (no extra spaces, no missing characters)? When you downloaded Sia, did you created a new wallet and is this wallet where you send the funds? Or did you created a second wallet this time you downloaded sia. If a different wallet is loaded into Sia, the command to load a new wallet is actually "siac wallet load"

Tried a few times, not sure why nor how but after the 6th time it worked

Hi Dev . Does every host take 0.6 sia?

[Hakkane]

Hi Dev . Does every host take 0.6 sia?

I am not a dev but I can help. Please detail you question, what do you mean with hosts "taking 0.6 Sia"?

Hosts set up their pricing and receive a revenue depending on how many contracts they are receiving. If for example you offer 4Tb of hosting at 200Sia/Tb/month but you only receive 100Gb in contracts, you will receive 20 Sia per month (plus some extra Sia in bandwidth costs)

Question for anyone,

I am currently downloading the blockchain. Anybody knows what is his current size ? In gigabytes ? And where to find it ?

for the time it takes me 5.5 gb

Question for anyone,

It is something more than 4Gb. Using a SSD drive it will take one day to download, in a regular HHD 3 days or more. You can accelerate it downloading the consensus DB file: https://forum.sia.tech/topic/155/consensus-db-downloads

Choose the most recent corresponding to your version of the client (consensus file is forward compatible but not backwards compatible)

[jodicksons]

I will be able to wait, just wanted to make sure I don't bust my download limit...

Thanks for the answers.

How long does siacoin delivery take? How much must be confirmed on the net?

Hopefully it was not bad timing for buying Sia on Bittrex last days. Volume was on permanent increase immediately what get listed at trex but price was not increasing. My thoughts were it was on accumulation but now thing looks much more worse for short term. Sia will perform much better next days now I am long on for it.

Right now altcoin market is completely downside so it will take some to gain back because all people who are holding bitcoins are dumped in the market. So people will buy back when the price of Bitcoin is reduced. That's why we have to wait patiently in the crypto world because you will not become rich in a single day.

Yes . Sia-coin will achieve a higher score. Because bitcoin price drops down

[AlteregoX]

I also think there is a huge upward potential, this is one of the projects i really believe will make a difference in the long run

[CryptoWinner]

Not so sure about rise. I guess the correction is here and it's serious. The price grow was too fast...

[marketone]

Yes, it makes difference in the market but to settle back it will take some time because people who have bitcoin now sold them at a higher price. So it will take the time to settle back to previous values.
