Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - Working Beta - Currency has been released
Is a public IP required to be a host for files?
Yes, you are identified on the network by your IP and it should be static too. If you change your IP, uploaders won't be able to confirm file contracts later and you will not be paid for used storage. Alternatively, use DynDNS and announce your host with a domain name.
Taek mention on Slack recently this may change in the future.
can some one help me setup dynamic dns on my windows pc ?
i have installed my siawallet on my disk i would like to set contracts to and it is syncing
i have also installed and setup an account and a hostname at no-ip and i am running the automatic DUC app to sync my ip to my domain name
am i ready to go once the wallet syncs and setup contracts?
