anyone able to tell me if there is a potential problem brewing here
This patent sounds (to me) very similar to what SIA does.

No problem. Read up on 'prior art'

Prior art is any evidence that your invention is already known.

Prior art does not need to exist physically or be commercially available. It is enough that someone, somewhere, sometime previously has described or shown or made something that contains a use of technology that is very similar to your invention.

If anything, most of these commercial blockchain-based patent applications will likely be rejected due to the fact it is extremely difficult to describe a sufficiently unique technological innovation which hasn't already been discussed at some point in recent years, probably on this forum.

I do hope it is rejected, however, USPTO seems noobish and grants patents very easily. Look at all the "on a computer" patents being disputed.
IF a patent is granted, would it cause SIA a problem insofar as having $expenses$ to go through a dispute process to show USPTO wrongly granted ?
Should it be preemptively pointed out to USPTO 'prior art' already does exists and patent should be turned down ?

( or will us having this conversation have that same effect on their search )

Retroactive patent infringement? Only if the tech they're patenting is for time-travel. How would CME even go about that discussion with a judge in order to get an injunction? - "Your honour, this group of people have been flagrantly using our 2017-patented tech since 2015!!1!1!!"

Should it be preemptively pointed out to USPTO 'prior art' already does exists and patent should be turned down ?

No, it isn't that kind of process. USPTO should be able to easily establish if CME's tech is anything like SIA's (or anybody else's) and, as I said, would then reject the application. If it isn't anything like SIA's then they wouldn't have a claim to make against them in the first place.

Prior art includes the described hypothetical, too, so having a public discussion about the theoretical design and methodology of a technology still counts. The technology doesn't have to have been used or even built in order to claim prior art, you need only find evidence of it having been discussed in open forum (i.e. not under NDA).

I want to buy SiaFunds where can I find them and how much?

Check either on the Discord of Sia in the #siafunds channel for OTC trading or on Bisq (https://market.bisq.io/?market=sf_btc).They have been trading for 2-3BTC in the last months

Do you guys know a way to make the windows client sync faster? Maybe I'm missing an update or maybe I can make it accept more connections? I don't open my wallet that often but let it sync every now and then.

Try with a manual download, AKA bootstrapping: https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain

Any new news on Sia? Can you also stake sia in the wallet?!  

Update from yesterday: https://blog.sia.tech/sia-community-update-october-ecf673f41e96 . As they have already answered you, Sia is not Proof of Stake, it is Proof of Work. More info about why here: https://siawiki.tech/about/pow_vs_pos

Thanks for the information, was and interesting read.
This is amazing that there are such community members who can create things,  special thanks to a guy who developed a website called SiaStats. Helpful  resource for seeing a variety of info from the Sia network like the number of daily transactions, total number of contracts, and more.Recommend to check.

I think it was Hakkane himself you developed SiaStats. Props to him. It's a very interesting, informative and good looking website. I think there are quite many statistic lovers behind us who really appreciate sites like this.

Thanks @obszoenling and @steinkopf for those words. I really appreciate it

Selling 10 SiaFunds.  PM offers.

Why is the price so dive? Is the project no longer developed? I'm worried about losing a lot, somebody hugs: P

The drop of the pump is really huge ...

The drop of the pump is really huge ... 

The constant push of Bitcoin is keeping a lot of altcoins down lately. Given the supply, it's already difficult to maintain satoshi levels in the hundreds, especially when there are other coins with similar supply with more convenient features and uses.

[akamit]

Today I have realized that my decision to invest in SiaCoin was wrong.
I mean my entry point was the mistake. Unfortunately, my biggest investment ever was in SiaCoin.

I realized when I checked my portfolio today after long time.
-89% is the lose currently I am digesting. 
I am not getting any hope in price increase sooner. 

Btw what is SiaFund? Is it anything new?

Just hold, mang.

Those losses will remain unrealised until you sell.

[Hakkane]

Is the project no longer developed?

Of course is being currently developed. The core team has hired a new developer and a community manager. Beta versions of 1.3.1 are being tested with HUGE improvements for the renters, like increased reliability or the ability to recover the files of your rented space only with the recovery seed of the wallet. Many more interesting features will come in 1.4 by the end of the year, like a UI revamping or file sharing. Check the roadmap: https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-public-roadmap/

The community of developers keeps developing apps in top of Sia, like two new file sharing services that use the Sia network (a third one very soon), a new mining pool that donates to the developers (mining.luxor.tech), a Sia distribution for Raspberry Pi or my own project SiaStats.info . Integrations with Minio and Duplicati are ready and working. Check this update from this week, for instance: https://blog.sia.tech/sia-community-update-october-ecf673f41e96

Btw what is SiaFund? Is it anything new?

SiaFunds are the second token of the Sia network, and have been around from the very beginning. Their holders receive a dividend of the 3.9% fees charged on every file contract signed. It was an instrument to fundrise the project and keep the dev team incentivized to increase the adoption of Sia. Lean more about SFs here: https://siawiki.tech/wallet/siafund

[btct22]

I'm still holding a lot of Sia so I hope it turns around.  It's been awhile since I last tried the software and glad I held off buying lots of storage hardware to host peoples files so far, but will re-visit it soon.

[k1mera]

Well, I am one of a lot of people that are still holding SIA since when I bought them.
At the moment I am not satisfied about the price, I bought It when it was very high unfortunately.
I think the company should burn many tokens and give the possibility to reduce the supply and let the price be higher.

[Walker0118]

Sleeping giant !
After the bitcoinGold rush many altcoins will be back
sia will pay back

[Hakkane]

I think the company should burn many tokens and give the possibility to reduce the supply and let the price be higher.

That is impossible. Nebulous, the company of the core dev team, only pre-mined 100 blocks of Sia (we are currently at block 128000) and they control less than 1% of the total coins in circulation. No burning of their coins could affect the price.

[itsnasir]

All other coins and I mean ALL of them have been going up and down, Sia on the other hand has been mostly going down and down and furthermore down. Their is a reason it is going down and I am sure the people behind SIA is aware of it. I too got into SIA at a bad time and have 1M+ sia holding forever, 1$ and I will be a millionaire but never, I doubt SIA would touch even a 1B! Terrible investment choice!

Now is the time for making a decent investment in this coin. Most people buy overpumped coins and then complain for excessive losses.
Couple months ago price of 1M SC was over 8BTC and now it's only 0.6BTC. So, common sense would be to double your position and wait for next bull run.
Then, if everything turns out OK, you'll break even with your previous position and make XBTC with your new investment.
Dumbest decision would be to sell now those coins and take that huge loss.

[Rzqt]

When everyone is selling, it's time to buy  
Market cap of SC is 100M, very low.
Buy now or miss the train, especially with the roadmap.
