Hey guys. It is with regret that I say that we aren't going to be doing anymore miner releases or patches in the near future, and we are dropping support for miner binaries.

We've decided on this because we've been spending too much time trying to get the miners to compile, and too much time dealing with bugs and dependencies we don't understand. Rather than try to get into the world of cross-compiling opencl, we're going to be spending our time over the next few weeks working on what really counts - decentralized storage.

The code for the miners is still open source, and it works well on Linux. Furthermore, linux is a free OS and runs on most architectures. We're sorry that mining isn't highly accessible to everyone, but it's something that is currently out of reach for the Sia core team. I do believe that others however are interested in working on Sia miners. We are willing to help anyone who wishes to release their own open source miners and mining pools, we're just not going to be making them ourselves during the forseeable future.

Sorry for the disappointing news. On the other hand, going forward we're going to be focusing a lot more on the storage components of Sia. We're excited for what's next, and hope you like what we're working on.

Yes, your team can get more coins.

we've got about 0.3% of the hashpower on the network. Together, I think we've found 1 block in the past 5 days. 'Our team' does not benefit by hurting the open source mining environment. We've simply recognized that it's beyond our knowledgebase to do mining well and that the amount of time we've put into mining has significantly detracted from other important things... like storage.

Taek, will we eventually be able to see and have a transaction ID# for SIA from within the wallet? this could be very useful in the distribution of coins.

Yes you will. Not entirely sure on the eta, but it's completely possible.
