[ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage

[khash4u]

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). ...

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.

Agreed an exchange like Binance or KuCoin would be ideal.

What a correction, was been 0.11, now 0.06..

Dont think to the price, this is a long term project, I'm a holder and next year I'll be happy

The project and dev are solid.

Unless someone are short term trader. I really hope in rises next week.
They said the same thing about cardano at beginning december, its a long term coin
but cardano explode and its still project with no ready product so...

Sia coin needs asia markets, bitfinex, binance , koinone, korbit...whatever.
They are biggest players in crypto.

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.

Not interesting at all, not sure why anyone would think otherwise. You need a computer running 24/24 + bandwidth + electricity + time configuring it + maintenance (tons of reasons why yo need to look after it).
I wouldnt do it for twice that price.

The likely hosters will be organizations that can scale large storage bays, not your average kid in their basement.

Considering next fork, I have problem upgrading wallet from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1.
Till now, I was doing wallet upgrade either replacing siac/siad files with newer ones OR using siac update command. Both ways are not possible in my case for 1.3.0. to 1.3.1 update.
After doing update I can't unlock wallet using siac wallet unlock command - after pasting password it doesn't wait for <Enter/Return> key, but complaints immediately after pasting and doesn't unlocks wallet.
Tried typing password with the same result. I'm not using UI and this way of unlocking was functioning up to ver. 1.3.0. I had to downgrade to 1.3.0. to use wallet.
Any idea how to solve problem or should I wait for next update?

Anyone using wallet 1.3.1. from command line and having same unlocking problem?

[insaneuh]

sc still lost from my transfer to the wallet on 21st december with the message error on poloniex.

any news with this issue ?

I have not personally had this issue with the wallet. I do from time to time have my pc lock up whilst it’s hosting files. I think it’s something to do with cryptonote miner running in conjunction with siad.  On their own they run indefinitely or until windows decides I need a feature update🤯

Can you try to open it in the GUI wallet and see if you have same issue?  If so maybe is corrupted wallet file.  At that point you would need to restore from seed or create new wallet and send all coins from the old to new.  If your hosting files I’d imagine that’s gonna screw things up for ya.  Maybe hit someone up at https://sia.tech  contact info at bottom of page.

Besides Sia, what are the other decentralized Storage crypto currencies available ?

I think SiaCoin is the only one at the moment

That is not a coin problem, that's Poloniex problem. I have the same, submitted support ticket, but they simply do not react .

In addition to this, there are STORJ, Genaro Network, and InterPlanetary File System, which have several concepts of distributed storage, not just these. SIA is already a good coin in this concept
