Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - Working Beta

Even though I've used about a dozen command line wallets like the cryptonotes, etc...
I've been completely unable to get a wallet working with 4.0 or 4.1 or the GUI on Win7.

- siac "encrypts" your file with a 29 word phrase, then won't accept anything in "Wallet password:"
- so it's basically impossible to unlock your wallet
- the GUI "encrypts" your wallet with a 15 word phrase, but there is no way to unlock it
- there are no wallet.dat files anywhere, just a wallet dir with 3 files

Dude, we are not storing nuclear launch codes here... it's a freaking alpha wallet with maybe $10 in it...
If I want my wallet open and unencrypted how is that your business.

So you are going to compete with FREE CLOUD STORAGE when people CANNOT TRUST THEIR WALLETS Huh

LOL, relax bo, almost everyone in SIA beta has requested encryption for their wallets. So now we have it. If you had used .0.3.3.3 you would not have it.

Its portable also. So if you had it on a flash drive and you lose or it gets stolen... anyone could open you wallet and access you stored files! It not so much about the net worth of the coins in your wallet. Most of us store them on the exchange in part or in another wallet just for banking the coins. So... I am very pleased with this upgrade as are most. Wink

EDIT: I would like to know where there is free storage as well, and I don't mean a free Gb or 2 or even 10GB. Nothing is totally free beyond a certain point. Shocked

And one more thing lol, yes someone could store their nuclear launch codes in SIA if they so desired to Grin

all the more reason for encryption....
