it works! ... (just gotta watch that little "siad" thingy) just shut that down properly if needed and its all good Cheesy

Can you elaborate? I ran the 0.4.2 GUI and after shutting down noticed siad still running. I killed the process and when the GUI is restarted get the error message "siad exited with code: 0"

~~How exactly does one go about shutting down siad "properly" (linux?) and is there a way to recover from these corruption issues?~~

Edit: I managed to remove the consensus file and start over. That seems to fix it.

Question: Where can I find a mining how-to? I downloaded Sia-UI-v0.4.2-beta-linux64.tar.gz which does not seem to include a miner. I've seen GUI screenshots with a Miner tab, which my GUI also is missing. How do I go about accessing the mining options in the GUI?

TO AVOID CORRUPTING YOUR WALLET:

Try this if you must shut down "siad" after closing wallet. ( if you going to restart your PC etc. ) Otherwise leave siad running as a process.

and this easier short cut to CMD prompt

You can shift+right click the SIA folder and open a command prompt with the location already set. Then type >siac stop from that path in CMD after the >

Hope this helps to avoid corrupting your wallet again.
