what about coinbase custody ? no news since 2018...

unclear what you mean by above? Sorry clueless.

in 2018 there was a hope of siacoin in coinbase custody: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/12/07/coinbase-cryptocurrency-list-altcoin-xrp/


and now seem that siacoin is no more considered : https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/12/07/coinbase-cryptocurrency-list-altcoin-xrp/

well with a 33% or more price dump and compare that to the payout/vs bitcoin dump and a miner went from $1.80 a day to now 65c or some such...

classic pump and dump the last 4 days....even at flat difficulty on the network that has really, really got to hurt...especially in usa with 10c kWh rates kinda/sorta.

oh well, its only money right?

man, you're lucky in the good old USA, its actually very cheap over there
Imagine if you'd live in Denmark or Italy, or pretty much most of the Europe

Well, Siacoin in the last 6 days has dumped from 0.003600 to 0.002221 which is a 61.694 % decline and it is still dropping as  I type this. As well as Bitcoin dumping which

looks like it is gonna end up going under 9K here soon. Well, jeez ain't that kick in the nuts! So price vs progress and timeline..how is this supposed to go again?

Seems some major Siacoin Whales are dumping for 'real-world problems' in a big, big way.

hello all,

need some help. I have installed the sia wallet (1.4.3) on ubuntu but i cannot see funds  i made a test and sent 2 times 0.9sc from bittrex to my wallet but funds doesn't appear (i waited 10 confirmations)... close and reopen the wallet but nothing... full synced.... i can see in the explorer that funds are arrived but i cannot see in my wallet 


when siacoin in ledger nano manager for non IT users ?? i think it could attract more investor.... nice to have millions of siacoin but would love to have in my own wallet

after reinstaling,... still syncing after 1 Month.... and on the older version... hope that upgrading to 1.4.4 will work... if this reinstall work... ledger nano would be a good alternative....

[Searing]

Anyone have any luck with getting an obelisk blake2b-sia to work with https://www.miningrigrentals.com/

I lose about 1/4 of the hash when I do such.

Also, any way to 'solo mine' siacoin-blake2b-sia?

thanks

Is it mandatory to install/update the recent Sia version?

[JanpriX]

Is it mandatory to install/update the recent Sia version?

From their announcement, they didn't directly said that it is mandatory but they also said this: "We strongly recommend that all hosts and all renters upgrade to v1.4.4 as soon as possible."

Tell me why SIA is not a shitcoin.

[big_daddy]

Tell me why SIA is not a shitcoin.

if you think that SIA is a shitcoin, simply find another topic and follow another project
5 years of working on a shitcoin here is too much for you to understand

5 years of working on a shitcoin here is too much for you to understand

it is a sh*tcoin in the sense that with the 85% of mining ASIC's from other vendors, that was dumped on the algo switch there is 10x the siacoin in the world that sia-tech expected..even though

they NOW again have a private network for their decentralized and anonymous store of info system using siacoin..they originally dreamed of! Before other ASIC's stole their thunder and pushed

up difficulty and siacoin out in the world way more than their original plans, due to the lateness of their ASIC's hitting the world. (They also owe me $600 supposed compensation for such lateness

they promised...I will likely never

I think they better get a move on making it worth doing storage on such a network..which as of now does not work even on very cheap used hd's etc and certainly

not something a hobbyist can ever make money on now! I'm talking 'break even' is far away even more daunting to put something up as a portal or node or even HD storage for

non-tech usual hobby types...they are generating no hype/or interest in their project just concentrating on coding w/o these details...losing out on a lot of maybe interested folk.

The other problem is ..folks have told me that they are moving into using big centralized data storage companies and systems..which also hardly seems decentralized

so if they want to get this project to work they better show some 'economic' reasons even if it is only break-even to put my $$$ into even a hobby node or portal and or

storage on siacoin vision....or it will just collapse under its own weight

I mean no one ever got in trouble with their bit giant amazon cloud kinda storage solution an IT guy is not gonna risk his job farming out sia-techs network at this time

why take the risk? What is the point...continue to use amazon cloud..never heard of siacoin and the project and if the IT guy has certainly his boss has not heard of such!

So some decentralized storage from the ground on up among hobbyists and regular folk better start first IMHO to get some hype going on this...or they are just spinning air

IMHO...and such.

By the By, the siacoin wallet also sucks..why not have the siastats.info www page ...going out of the wallet to hit that info to just get the siacoin address is just silly

information button or something on the wallet and what is with only able to use control c and control v to cut and paste? Have they never heard of right-click mouse cut/paste?

 Also, why do I have to go all the way to the web site www.siastats.info to plug-in transaction id info to see the wallet address the siacoin came from? Why can't that show

also the wallet address along with transition Id?....I mean it is all very low-end amateur compared to even the most basic BTC wallets...

So the stuff like that drives me crazy ..they are not taking care of important minor details and no real push for folk to do storage nor instructions for the layperson...and ramp such up

even it is just to play with ..no FAQ I could see even to just experiment with the wallet options on storage on your puny 3gig HD as well just to learn such.

So if the project is siacoin/mining/storage as a 3 legged stool....storage part of all this is like 3 years behind the others IMHO..

anyway

they need to fix the stuff above and generally step it up

After all this time, you STILL don't understand how mining works and simple fact that hashing power does not affect
bumber of coins?

/facepalm

[mirny]

ahh, remember those old days back five years ago, when i've been hitting block on solo mining with
20x 7970's it was a really heated up summer then

bumber of coins?

/facepalm

So the amount of coins are the same even if the amount of hash power for siacoins was 85% more before the ASIC miners by Bitmain etc were bricked? At this point in time?

enlighten me....and if I am incorrect that means at IF obelisks were out on time and there were NO 3rd party siacoin miners and the network was always private with siacoin

we'd still have 41,817,047,634 SC in circulation? really? If so I stand corrected? IF nothing else difficulty is still high as hell on all this from the miner point of view.

On the other hand, with only like what 5-6PH or thereabouts on machines never made by 3rd parties you have a network making 41,817,047,634 SC that amount of coin in the same amount

of time with the original Asics? That also seems a bit silly for a storage network that still basically can't be built or even used by anyone other than 'centralized' data halls etc at this point in

time.

So you still have all this 41,817,047,634 SC coin and the increase in difficulty to the point where MOST obelisk equipment after the fork can't mine Siacoin profitably (maybe a different issue
 
with pandemic and all...but out there) and a 'storage solution' that is still 3 years behind the (1) no longer making of ASIC's and Grin Miner mess-up (2) that is a hell of a lot of siacoin for a

project (3) wheere the 'decentralized storage solution and anonymous were supposed to be the primary function of this project?

So if my assumptions this time on your correction are correct on above...well...still the project seems 'stuck in a coder 'rut' of epic proportions.

Also NO real decent wallet (see the previous post) and also where are the PR and the PUSH for this great project. I do a google search for the last 30 days and am not impressed with the

results. More problems going on IMHO with this project and promotion then me being wrong on the above...

I also have made these points on the wallet and lack of storage HARDWARE and promotion of this project before ...so /facepalm on that as well back at ya

Lots of 'supposed' coding....very little progress or promotion on the above issues I bring up...the whole ecosystem of siacoin vs their vision seems to be very 'unbalanced' at best.

The siacoin project folk really need to step it up...fix the wallet for better ease of use....get some PR going...get the decentralized hardware reason also decentralized out there

rather than relying on (futile IMHO) on big data halls to incorporate this off the mark...maybe they are simple short of funds and devs/coders I don't know..but does not seem well

run ecosystem at all as a project

later

True. The main point is, that you have someone to charge if any problems arise. You are paying for a service like that.
I really like the idea about decentralized storage. But if I am have to store very important data, I would prefer a reliable supplier at the moment. Let us hope for the future.

[Searing]

Unsure what to make of this...but previously we got to a pump of 28% plus on Siacoin price today.

So was wondering what the hell happened of any note?

is the storage system already working?
How many users are there at the moment?
How many Terabytes is the platform already storing?
