hello
sia-coldstorage is safe to use?

If you download it from here yes: https://github.com/avahowell/sia-coldstorage/releases . Check you are downloading it from the repository of avahowell and not anyone else's cloned software (otherwise it could be a scam aimed to steal your funds). Ava Howell is a former core developer member, so it is a trustable.

I am just curious, in order to detect potential scams (as sia-coldsrtorage is a tool only known by very advanced users): where did you learnt about it? Can you share the link your read about it and which download link it you found?


tnx for help
i download from your address and its a run file (sia-coldstorage.exe)
when u run it give u seed and more than 10 address is it correct ?

Yes, in Sia a wallet is a collection of addresses, all of them pointing to your balance and all of them being unlocked with a single recovery seed. So it is normal you have multiple addresses (good for privacy) but just one seed.

Keep the seed in a safe place, as it is the only way to unluck your funds in the future whenever you need to send them elsewhere using the Sia-UI
