When restoring wallet using seed, it will overwrite the passwords right? Keep getting message wallet must be unlocked before use
I would try the second option I indicated you: close Sia completely, delete the wallet in the %appdata% folder and once opening Sia again click on "Recover wallet" (the icon with a key). Provide your recovery seed every time a prompt pops up (the custom password is not valid anymore once deleting the wallet)
Is it possible to earn SIA by sharing diskspace to the network?
Of course, follow this guide:
https://siawiki.tech/host/using_the_ui_for_hostingi tried it before on last summer but i did not earn any profit with my 100gb free space. i dont know whats changed now.
That is probably because:
- There is a penalty for offering less than 4TB of storage to the network. Offering only 100GB the penalty is huge, so you get a very low score. With low scores you have very small chances to get file contracts.
- There is a penalty for "young" hosts that vanishes gradually after 6 weeks. The key is being patient.
