THX for your helpful response :-)
I sounds like the last problem you mentioned coulb be the reason. I installed SIA at a new computer and wanted to import the seed maybee there was another wallet created before automatically? How to delete this?
THX
No problem! :-) The best way probably is going to be deleting the current wallet. Go to the Terminal tab and type "wallet init-seed --force". It will ask you for your seed, and after scanning the blockchain for some minutes (or even one hour or so) it will be done and the client will be associated with that old seed. It is better to have the client fully sync before doing this looks good it is scanning now ... thx everything is fine now....Thank you very much :-) |

Never looked at Sia coin before, just did.
Being the IT engineer working on Storage and backend infrastructure, I know that today we do not have true cloud computing. Amazon, Microsoft, and others are providing "cloud" solution, which really is a hosted environment that allows you to access from internet. Instead of you managing said hardware you are paying someone else to manage, that's it. These environment simply allows you to access said infrastructure via internet which is hosted traditionally on one location/device (users pay more redundancy and availability but still it is not a cloud) and is simply hosted environment, there is not even a guarantee that the data is safe or backed up or can be recovered.
These guys at Sia have truly created cloud storage.
This by no means to say that Sia coin as a crypto will succeed or not, but simply stating that sia did create a true cloud storage.
File once on cloud stays on cloud. It does not disappear and can be accessed from anywhere.

That is why I believe in this project and that it will be successful! At the moment the price is very low, but it's just a good time for shoping  I'm sure people will sooner or later understand how unique this project is and then everyone who has been patient and hold coins will be rewarded! |

Any new developments regarding SIA and maybe a new Windows wallet? The old one could use an update, maybe more simple?

This SIA app needs a lot of work . Ive downloaded it added some SIA , I bought some storage and now how the hell do I upload files? I get a message saying "you need to buy storage or wait for contracts to form". How is anyone supposed to understand this cryptic message . This non-user friendliness is whats a painful about using SIA .
How are normal users supposed to figure this usage out ? C'mon SIA at least add a Help section in the App ...or a YouTube link ,anything ..
not everyone wants to spend hours trawling the web for answers on what these cryptic messages mean.

Does one need to close and reopen the SIA app after adding coins to the wallet ? Or does the APP update by itself ?

A UI overhaul is currently being worked on. Most probably it will be ready in the 1.3.1 update (December) Does one need to close and reopen the SIA app after adding coins to the wallet ? Or does the APP update by itself ?
No, the balance will update automatically. If you made a transfer and it is not on your balance yet it could be due to delays on the side of the exchange (if that is the case) or because your client is not yet synchronized with the network. Let us know if you have problems. This SIA app needs a lot of work . Ive downloaded it added some SIA , I bought some storage and now how the hell do I upload files?

You need first to make an allowance (click on the "make allowance" button of the UI) and then wait until your client makes contracts with 50 hosts (it will take one hour or less). If you need more details about using the UI for renting, check out this article of the Wiki: https://siawiki.tech/renter/using_the_ui_for_renting . The wiki is actually linked on the website, as well as an official guide (shorter than the Wiki one)on the FAQ. More clarity on the process is part of the UI overhaul I mentioned before. Take in mind "normal" users are not expected to use the client in the endgame of Sia. While final users could use the Sia client, Sia is meant to be an enterprise-level solution. Enterprises have IT departments that don't even touch a UI for almost any task, just command lines. Sia is also meant to be used by storage providing services (like Dropbox-like companies) as their storage backend. This means final users will not touch directly the Sia network, but instead use the app of each company, and don't even need to buy Siacoins to purchase storage: they'll pay in fiat and the apps will do everything behind the scenes. |

Im a regular user who thinks SIA can be useful. Id like to see if I can archive several VMware images on the SIA network. I can see users archiving their MP3s collection on the SIA web etc . Looks like it has potential for this use case , but how about a help section ? |

Check the current capacity (3.1PT) https://siahub.info/This can grow as more people will rent out their storage. |

Hakkane Ive noticed that after a few hours the SIA app remains stuck on syncying at 98%. It did complete a day ago and then I added some new SIA funds to the wallet. I noticed it was stuck syncing a few hours later so I quit the app and restarted the machine. After the reboot and a few hours later the wallet is still stuck at 98% syncing, Is there something I'm missing ? BTW thanks for this link : https://siawiki.tech/renter/using_the_ui_for_renting . |

Ill give it a day or two and see what happens . |
