not sure if polo completely resolved issues with wallet. Today my withdrawal request  had ended with Complete: Error status. Now need to work with support to recover coins.

So after they fixed issue with bittrex wallet now its polo's term? I'm just checking if what is the real problem with wallet sync both exchange have a lots of players and traders same with hitbtc, is there any action coming from the team or its the exchange issue which needed to be fixed?

How can I import first gen wallet into the latest release? I remember hearing there were problems sometimes. I don't have a seed, just a key file.

If you have a .siakey file to load, the method is going either to the Terminal and typing the command "siac wallet load siag <path>" replacing path with the path of your key

Can anyone report what the payout is for 1TB rented out for 1 month?

Sia is a competitive marketplace, so you decide your own pricing, but of course you will want to stay competitive to get more file contracts for your host. The Sia client of renters will assign you an score according to many factors, including your pricing (also the age of your host or how much remaining storage you have) and will pick up only the best scored hosts.

As a suggestion, you can check this table "Top 100 hosts average settings" to get an idea of what competitive hosts are doing: https://www.siastats.info/hosts_network.html . To answer your question, they are asking right now for 50SC/TB/month on average

less than USD$4.00 a month for 1TB ? Why would anyone do this ?

Are you seriously asking that? I don't know... maybe because you can ROI 4TB disks in 5-6 months?    The payout is right now very high in FIAT because after the recent pump in coin price the hosts are still adjusting the prices. Most probably the prices will stabilize in $2/TB or bellow. Still profitable: ROI in about 2 years looks bad, but NAS-grade disks are prepared to last 5 or more years and unlike mining in hosting there is no difficulty factor reducing your gains over time. So it can be a niche business. This, of course, if you fill your disks, because right now usage of the network is still growing.

Block average time is 30 minutes currently (it will return to 10 after the hardfork), so due to the natural variance on the process of mining is perfectly normal to have block gaps of 2 hours (or 90 minutes like the block you mention) or as little as 2 minutes (like between blocks #138613 and #138614)

I have a transaction still unknown since yesterday ;(

WE will see whats happen next week before hardfork.I expect 1000+ satoshi.

Hardfork probably wont change anything at all, in some best cases it could hit another 700 satoshi before going back down but that depends on how bitcoin exchange rate as well. Alts will be going down when bitcoin is unstable

Just some Heads up , There is alot of hype for siacoin right now but there are alot of things happening for this coin. I may not be a technical analyst that could ensure you about this but you dont need to be an expert to know about to google about their file contract upgrade

I read that day 13/01 would solve the inconveniences that SC has in bittrex.

This is the publication about the problems that SC has had in the exchanges.

https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7pc5rv/brief_official_update_on_sia_exchanges/

<snip>. Centralized exchanges were maybe necessary for the growth of cryptocurrency, but it’s time to regain control of this crazy train! Komodo Platform’s BarterDEX Decentralized Exchange is being beta tested right now and I’m part of the community outreach team. BarterDEX is a decentralized method of exchanging cryptocurrencies via atomic-swap technology, without counterparty risk. It’s completely free to use, open source, peer-to-peer, and minimal fees (<50% fees centralized exchanges, no double fees). ...

>> BarterDEX protocol (wp/git) >>

<snip>

What do you think, Sia community? Let’s make this happen!

Yes, I agree with the above, I am tired of exchanges and their fees.  And I don't think it is answer for SIA developers to say 'we have not been in touch with Poloniex'.  I've been waiting for two botched withdrawals of SIA from Polo to get fixed since December.  I wrote to Polo support in December, I'm still waiting on a reply.  Obviously, they don't give a crap about me, but I would think the SIA dev team would have more luck putting some pressure on Polo.  But yes, these centralized exchanges that pop up/disappear/disable withdrawals/don't reply to support tickets, I'm tired of it.

Do I need to upgrade my wallet or can I stay with the old wallet and still transfer to a market latter (Trexx)?
I have the backup and seed.

[CryptoRobert]

It is nice that the devs are already thinking ahead to what will happen when the ASIC miners for SIA will appear later this year, and that they are already implementing a solution now with the hardfork. Knowing that a coin is in good hands is very important for the market, this could really help a further appreciation of the coin.

After upgrading to the latest wallet, it does not like my password. What kind of BS is this??

You can decide to not upgrade, but your wallet will not show updates in the after before the hardfork. However, in any time in the future you can download the current version, use your recovery seed to access all your funds and transfer to the exchanger or wherever else.

Have you tried using your recovery seed instead?

If you are already using the seed double check you are not truncating any word, there are 29 words in the seed, all of them make sense in English, spaces between them, no extra space at the beginning or the end of the sequence, no line breaks in the middle (typical if you are copy/pasting)...

Thanks. It looks like I have to wait for syncing to complete before the recovery seed option will work.

Hi friend

Thank

Few days ago i bought sia for 600+ satoshi in believe that coin can rise to 0.15 to 0.20 cents.
In December i bought cardano for 4 cents and sell it for 12 when its falling from 13 cents to 10. Next week cardano rise to 0.20 cents and still growing up.
I expected some similar sytuation to Sia[Suspicious link removed]d technology, low price.
Next week we got hardfork maybe price goes up, but we dont have binance...Question is did bitrex and poloniex can rise this coin to 1k satoshi..

As I mentioned before on this thread, I am a long term holder of Sia.
long term holding is best for Sia because it's a developing technology
With potential. The developers are active and more and more people
are getting interested. Just buy and hold, don't be worried about what
price it's going to be tomorrow, next week or next month.
