Already sold.

7 fucking days (with my computer on 24/7) for my wallet to synchronize and to be able to access my SC, and during this time the price has sunk, thank you Sia.

Lol, I'm talking about the sia wallet sync, which is taking forever and I can't access to the siacoins I sent from bittrex. From the previous page:

I could have sold the siacoins when the price was higher to buy some more Shift and get more profit than what I'm getting right now with SC (which is giving me zero profit right now, and I'm actually losing money since I sent them to the wallet), and maybe later I could buy some SC again with said profits, but I just can't because their sh*tty wallet needs an eternity to sync and in the meanwhile I can't access to my SC. I don't even know if my SC are in the wallet because I can't see the balance until the wallet is synchronized, but I guess they are there because they are not in Bittrex since I sent them.

If I had known that the sync could take this long, I would have never sent the SC to the wallet and I would have kept them in Bittrex until the sync was done, but nowhere in their site they warn that the sync can take such a long time and that in the meanwhile you just can't access your SC.

I bought the SC as a long term investment, but after this, as soon as the wallet is sync, I don't care what they announce this friday, I'll sell all my SC and will never look back, because it's not normal having to wait for DAYS until the wallet is sync and that in the meanwhile you can't access you SC and that this is not warned anywhere in their site.  

One daye later, still at 59%. F*cking unbelievable. 

I obviously read about it before investing, but I didn't read anywhere in their site that synchronizing the wallet could take so long and that in the meanwhile I couldn't access my balance/transactions/siacoins. Maybe they could warn it in their site, that's all I'm saying, because now my siacoins are frozen in the wallet and for a lot of casual users having to wait so much for the synchronization could be a reason to pass on using Sia (and I hope that uploading files is a much faster process, because this is just ridiculous).

You seem to be implying that it's my fault to not know how absurdely slow this wallet is when afaik nowhere in their site there is a warning about this, and I have not magical powers to know about something that is not warned in their official site. I've used other wallets and none of them have made me wait for so long to be able to access my coins.

If it took just a couple of hours I wouldn't complain, but if it takes several days, in that time Siacoin's price could drop to zero and I would lose all the money I invested on it. Or maybe I could just need the money for something else and I would want to sell asap, and I just couldn't because all the siacoins are frozen in the wallet until the sync is finished. I repeat I'm not planning to sell, but if I wanted or needed to, I just couldn't do it because the wallet takes too much time to sync.

In my case, it's been synchronizing since yesterday, and it's still at 43.9% (8 hours ago was at 39%). I have read (wish I had read it before) how some people needed to wait for 3 days until it was synchronized. Like I said above, if it synchronized in just 3 hours I wouldn't complain about it, but 2 days for just half of the sync is just too much, in this cryptomarket 2-4 days can be an eternity.

Like I said, I bought siacoins as a long term investment, so I was not planning to sell, but I don't know if it's normal that the wallet sync takes sooo long, and I think that's not good for a plataform that I guess that wants to become popular.

And if I wanted to sell because the price was dropping too much and I could potentially lose a lot of the money I invested, I just wouldn't be able to do it, and I think that Sia should warn everybody that transactions/balances are not available until the sync is completed, and that said sync can take DAYS to be completed, that way I would have been warned to not send my siacoin to the wallet until the sync was completed, and I guess everybody would like to know something like this before using the Sia plataform/wallet.

I downloaded the wallet because I invested in Siacoins and wanted to keep them safe, but if I was a casual user that wanted to check how Sia worked and I saw how long it takes to properly work, I don't know if I would have the patience to wait for so long for the sync. I don't know the technicalities behind this, I'm just saying that something like this should be worked out to avoid losing potential new users.

Yeah, was this the great news coming this friday or is there something else? Price is going down right now.

EDIT: And I can't do anything with my siacoins because I sent them to the wallet when I installed it and it's taking an eternity to synchronize so I can't see my coins or send them anywhere else, how is it possible that it takes so long? 

I was planning to hold for a while, but if I wanted to sell before the price goes lower, I just couldn't because the wallet is the slowest cr*p I've seen in my life. I don't know the reasons for this, but the devs should definitely work on it if they really want that Sia becomes a truly popular plataform, I can see lots of people thinking "f*** it" and uninstalling it after checking how incredibly slow it is.

The guys at Bancor said they are going to rebutt every point made in that article.

It's at 784 right now at coinmarketcap without any announcement yet (afaik), if the pump will be to just 800-850 that would be really disappointing imo after so much hype about the supposedly great news coming this week.

But maybe I'm too greedy. XD

So are you guys going to invest on this?

I was in full fomo mode, but after reading a few last messages on this thread I'm not so sure.

I installed it several hours ago in a Windows 10 laptop and it's still at 27%. XD

Ok, thanks again. 

Another question: How long it takes until the coins appear in the wallet? I sent a few from Bittrex and I see nothing in the wallet yet, it just says it's synchronizing, which is taking like forever.

"Your wallet is not synced, balances are not final."

I guess I have to wait until it's synced for the coins to appear?

Can't I use my own password for the shift wallet?

And how do I send shift coins to the wallet? Can't find the address or the option to receive coins, just to send.

Thanks, that worked. I'm used to copy with the mouse, never with the keyboard. 

It's not possible to copy or paste anything in the sia wallet? 

I wanted to copy the seed to somewhere safe and I just couldn't, so I had to type the whole thing, and then I had to type it again to confirm the creation of the wallet, and I don't mind to do some typing even if it shouldn't be necessary, but now I want to send some siacoins to my wallet and I just can't copy the address, do I have to type the whole freaking address everytime I want to make any movements to my wallet or viceversa? 

I guess I can't use mew with this coin, right? XD

Any difference with this?

Thanks.  

What do you think about what was being discussed above in the previous page? I just bought some xrb and now I read that this could be the worst moment to buy, however there is people claiming that the price will not go down and that it could actually go up in the near future, I'm just confused. XD

I know that I have to make my own choices and to not make decisions based in other people's opinions, but being a newbie I guess it's normal that I pay attention to other people who could be much more experienced and informed than me, and right now after reading some comments I really don't know if it was a wise decision to buy.  

Which wallet should I use? The official one from here?:

I guess Myetherwallet or Blockchain are not compatible, right? Sorry, I'm a noob to cryptos.

So who should I listen to? 

I just bought a few hours ago.
