I'm having trouble announcing with the ports. I saw some discussion about it pg 45, is it not working in windows ATM?
* Router is correctly setup to forward 9981-9982, TCP+UDP to my machine's adapter. Portchecker verifies those ports are open.
* windows: I have windows firewall off, but I threw in the ports as an incoming rule anyway, and siad is on the allow list. no other firewalls.
* turned off avast antivirus just to be sure.
* I now have 10 peers, so no connection issue.
You're going to have to do a 'force-announce' using siac. './siac host announce --force'
september? oh no it's too late

The code is pretty well documented, and I'm happy to show you around if you want to contribute and get a mining pool finished earlier.
