Hi has anyone noticed any transactions/payouts from Siamining pool missing in the Siacoin wallet?

I've had one payout 3 days ago not show up in my Sia wallet and again another one few hours ago not showing up in my Sia wallet. See circled transactions in image below.

All-Time Paid Out: 34,695.83 SC from Siamining, but confirmed balance in wallet is: 32098.87 SC, so i'm missing 2596.96 SC

If anyone's experienced this please let me know what you've done to recover the missing payout.

BTW, I'm using Sia-UI version 1.3.1 wallet.

Very common problem with the 1.3.1 UI Wallet, I've talked with other pool ops and their users have the same issues. See here for how to fix it https://siawiki.tech/wallet/lost_transactions_troubleshooter

You can always verify the pool has issued the payout by checking the TXID and looking at in the explorer.

Thanks xurious for the quick reply. I'll give lost_transactions_troubleshooter a try,
but like Tekno2020 (thanks for your tip) mentions at a later date after I've transferred existing Siacoins out of the wallet.

Along with Tekno2020:

Deleting and restoring from seed is a safe operation. There is no data loss as you have your original seed to recreate the wallet from. It's the same as restoring from seed using an electrum wallet.

I had a strange transaction appear in my Siacoin wallet today with a negative amount of -0.088 SC. See line below with transaction ID

Today at 21:15   -0.088 SC   a727258731b996bdba3ae71e648fe90c9b6ad66d1f82ed452df0ca0e9d76c3c7    Confirmed

Also, I don't understand how Sia Explorer works. How do I see transactions to my wallet address with received transactions amounts and wallet balance, as you can see with a Bitcoin wallet address

If xurious or anyone with more knowledge than myself can help it would be appreciated.

Nearly half of siamining.com hash rate is out presently. A3 shall display errors/low hash rate.

P.S.A Do not try and deposit siacoin sc funds into Poloniex. I linked my Poloniex account with my a3 back in January when I received the unit. There were 4 separate deposits made during the first 2 days, totaling 2,500 SC. Here's a screenshot I took this morning, still no coins even though siamining.com has it as completed as well as all other transactions that I since switched over to hitbtc. No issues whatsoever with Hitbtc. I sent Poloniex support a message about it on the 30th of January, giving them 2 days to complete the trx before opening a ticket. As of today Feb 13th 2018, I still have received no correspondacnce, and have no idea where my 2500 SC are as of right now.

TLDR - Deposited 2500 Siacoin into Poloniex from siamining.com and still have not received them. Switched to Hitbtc, and no issues there.


Been lurking for quite sometime now, thought I'd give back and hopefully save someone from this happening to them.
Cheers Miners

2) there is a bug in current algo

I have roughly 8,500 SC in limbo on Poloniex.  Pointed my A3 there and after the first 500 SC didn't show up put a ticket in.  They responded within 5 minutes, which is rare apparently, and they were having problems with the wallet and they would deposit the missing coins after they fixed it. With my new confidence in them I kept it pointed there for a few days and still have no coins or any response to that ticket or the new ones I have opened.  Second the Hitbtc move, works well.

This is exactly why you do not mine directly to an exchange.  You should be mining to a wallet.

Anyone has received a new firmware from bitmain?

I have it. PM me if you need it!

I tried to PM you.  can you send it to me?  nuanicaj@gmail.com

2) there is a bug in current algo

is the softfork about the exclusion of the antminer a3?

I really do not believe they will hurt themselves by killing bitmain miners on the network lol

[FNT]

Hi guys,

Could anybody please post a picture - in good quality- of an hasboard?
I'd like to see which PIC,etc they are using.

Thanks a lot and bye, FNT

[mojoo98]

U never know if that will occur but u know wat, at least this time u guys broke even by mining with the A3. This is not like the D3. Bitmain sold it at 2k+ for first batch and u guys broke even. It is now still making over 1k a month after all the difficulty increases, so, u guys got a sweet deal. Congrats.

Bitmain will ruin the "fun" of mining..

[micairvas]

Bitmain release new A3 FIrmware.

Anyone tried? Any changes?

[FNT]

I think that's no new firmware. It's the actual, as compile version is 29.12.2017...

Bye, FNT

[cryptopepe]
