I created many Crypti accounts. There is no possible way to accidently create a second passphrase. And there is no way the client will

make one for you, no way. So your memory is pretty awful. The second passphrase is just one feature that to me makes Crypti much

much more secure than other cryptos. But it is totally optional and no way ever to not know you were creating it. I'm sorry for you

but keep trying to remember. If you picked a strong passphrase for your account maybe you picked a small one for your second one.

Like a 4 digit atm code. Keep try to remember it.

To clarify my opinion. Criticism constructive or not is crucial for development.

But many following the thread are tired of hearing the same irrelevant ones. We wish new users would think before posting.

But anyway new users are the lifeblood of any project. But I think Sia over the next 2 years will be so big and important it will be one

of the first cryptos where users will need us more than vice versa.

I can also see a point in time where company's/individuals would be willing to pay even more for SIA services because of its anonymity. That could possibly cause demand for SIA as the preferred way to cloud host. So really the sky is the limit. But I don't feel the in the early days we can be more expensive per dollar/GH

Exactly what I was going to say after reading your first paragraph.

The future majority of hosts will likely be technical people. Sia's focus is not imo people to use to keep their photo in cloud for iphone.
It is for youtube or netflix or may youtube's competitor. Business that needs cheap reliable millions of terabytes to store.

This does not make sense. If the Sia network is to be used as cheap storage for businesses' massive storage requirements, where is that storage supposed to come from?

I assumed that Sia was about enabling unused storage on millions of devices around the world to be part of a massive network, which then entities with storage requirements could use.

Clearly, the millions of devices we're talking about belong to Average Joe and Jane. Thus, the client software must be dumb-proofed and simple enough to be used by a 'regular' person.


Again this is my opinion but it is based on dev words and logical vision of Sia.

I don't see millions of joes renting their unused 200 gb from their laptop. Running Sia and keeping the client open up and running long

enough to be considered  a reliable host. Certainly the more hosts the better and the beauty in Sia is anybody can rent their space.

But realistically Sia will be a success because it allows anybody to set up their own cloud business. I can aspire to take a piece of amazon

cloud's pie by going out and buying 200 terbytes of hdds. Announcing my space on Sia without registering as a business or any licenses.

Now I attract cloud users by setting my price to what I think will take business away from amazon and use my space. Although netflix

needs millions of terabytes to run their business, my 200 terabytes is one of many reliable "small host companies" that netflix uses to

stream to their customers.

But seriously, do you expect every new user to skim through 111 pages of posts, before downloading and running a couple of binaries of BETA software? When was the last time you did that?


I actually do expect that. But it doesn't bother me if people don't. What does bother me is someone who doesn't skim through what a

project is about then make wrong assumptions. Automatically assuming it should be as stable as other clone coins.

If Sia were dogecoin part 2 then the current wallet state and user friendliness would deserve some huge flaming.

When you dont skim through a project's thread you come off as stupid when you say the wallet is a bit unstable and not user friendly.

Cause its like duh. Whoever said it wasn't?

All newcomers are welcome and opinions are encouraged, another duh. But I think you are misunderstanding some of our "defensive posts".

If you don't want to read up on a project thats understandable. But then don't make ignorant comments because the reason we want you to

skim through the thread is because we've heard your comment 50 times before from 50 other people who also don't understand what the

project is aiming to do and where it came from.

I repeat the question.
It mining began? Why there isn't enough information? So has to be?



You seem to be mining. But you aren't going to get any blocks with that.

Mining is still in development. Sia original was not suppose to be mining coin. Mining aspect will be worked on more slowly

than storage aspect but since it is mining for consensus of course it is important.

Its better for people like you to wait for mining pool which can be a while longer.

I'm trying to recover wallet without the wallet.json in command line. So I after I type siac wallet load seed it asks for the password. So I type

the 29 word password then it says new seed: what do I type here?

Also can this be done with the UI yet? It doesn't seem to.
I still would like answer to this please.



Also Zer0Sum said one thing I want to talk about. I am not crypto expert. I know you devs are more storage expert than crypto expert too.

But like Zer0Sum said nxt has 12 word passphrase. I know counterwallet has 12 word phrase too. It was good because according to those

guys 12 words is apparent unbreakable cryptographic speaking. And I used to have my 12 word counterwallet phrase memorized. I can't

memorize 29 words. Is 29 words overkill? Again I'm not knowledgeable in cryptographics, you seem to care a lot of security to make 29 words.

For me it would be nice to be something I can memorize. Just asking maybe you can look into it more? Thanks

Stuff like this...
Will limit this (very promising) project to super-geeks that unlimited time to f*ck around with crypto wallets.

That said, the GUI wallet is what counts and it's making progress:



OK, the blockchain is updated and I've transferred a little test coin from Polo...
But, of course, I'm LOCKED OUT... even after I've been given a 29 word passphrase (where NXT uses only 12 words).



Oh, the Dev wants me to run another 2 separate command line utilities...
And muck around with more passphrases with little known copy/paste techniques via consoles.

Let's add 17 more "locks", baby = very poor design.

Sorry, but you HAVE TO make GUI wallet standalone to attract normal people. Please make standalone GUI wallet a priority.



Zer0Sum complaining. First of all I want to address his comments. Nobody said Sia is ready for primetime now. As you can see its

still being built and constant changes and development is happening. People forget this is not litecoin/bitcoin copy paste. Its kind

of easy to have dependable wallet when its the same code as already developed coin. All the bugs we find now shapes what Sia will be

we are not in adoption phase we are in build phase. Also whoever said Sia is for the normal dumb guy. Right now mostly tech people tinker

with it. The future majority of hosts will likely be technical people. Sia's focus is not imo people to use to keep their photo in cloud for iphone.

It is for youtube or netflix or may youtube's competitor. Business that needs cheap reliable millions of terabytes to store.

I sent all my coins to my new 0.4.1 wallet. But I couldn't upload files I keep getting error messages. So I updated to 0.4.2, uploading worked.

But here is my issue. So I took wallet.json from 0.4.1 and put it in the new 0.4.2. When opening up the client my balance is 0 fine. So I unlock it under wallet and in overview

my correct balance shows. But under the wallet tab,  Balance: says "Locked" and Pending: says "Locked" no matter what I do. I sent coins and uploaded a file and restarted to see

if it goes away it doesn't. Its obviously not locked as the wallet tab also say "unlocked" and I can send coins. Its a graphical issue only I'm sure which seemed to happened

after recovering a backed up wallet file to new 0.4.2 wallet.

And why did the price drop like a rock?

More people mining than buying storage. That's likely to be the case for quite a while, but when it flips (more storage users than miners) so will the price.

Exactly this. Miners mine and dump its what they do. Like the geico commercials. Anyway, just like every coin all the trading is speculation.

But unlike all the other coins Siacoin if successful will have an absolute value in being worth storage space. Its really not as important the

value per coin. The hosters will set the price. If its not cheaper or competitive with traditional cloud storagers then nobody will use it which

is why nature will set the price of Sia. If you ask me the fact that you can use a working decentralized storage system as opposed to a centralized

should cost more.

Since you are using DPOS technology that is Daniel Larimer's invention (via Bitshares), have you share-dropped some XCR to Bitshares holders or at least to AGS investors that made DPOS tecnology possible?

Did this guy share his profits by sending Bitcoins to Satoshi's known address? There is no bitshares without bitcoin inventing modern cryptocurrency.
Did he give bitshares to Sunny King who I guess was the first to use POS? And DPOS is certainly a version of POS. Did Lee reserve an address full of litecoins
after he forked Bitcoin to Satoshi should he ever become public again?


Crypti using their version of DPOS for consensus is a part of Crypti. It in noooo way makes Crypti special. What makes Crypti special are DAPPs and a team
that gets things done with a better than average view of crypto's future.


If you read from the beginning of Crypti using a modified version of DPOS they give full credit and say are fans of DPOS. But for Crypti's DAPPS to work needed
a system like DPOS but not really and needed to make their own.

This shouldn't have to be explained to any adult. I don't know you and don't make judgement on who you are. But the things you said are the most retarded childish
idiotic things ever said in the history of space and time.

people seem very evasive about the number of coins that will be minted?

You are funny. All your questions are for to calculate market cap and make some short term trade on a coin you know nothing or care about.
You don't care enough to read the whitepaper. You don't skim through the thread. You are not trying to understand that this is not an altcoin
trading game coin. But to answer your ?.


Siacoins that will be mined goes down by one every block until it reaches 30k per block. After that it will always mine 30k I guess forever.
That is because Siacoin is for renting storage and for mostly businesses to store all their cloud data cheaper and more reliable than centralized services.
Siacoin is a currency for storage usage so the ultimate value and price will be decided by the demand for its storage.


Siacoin allows a little boy in Alaska to use his 4TB hdd he got for Christmas to sell his space to Netflix who will use all of Sia's thousands of storage providers to store their content cheaper than Amazon. And for Mr. Smith who used to put his videos of himself naked making muscle poses on google drive until he got paranoid that it takes only one google employee to allow a hacker to gain access to his account and upload his video where if you put it in Sia, even the hosters don't know what they are storing so you only trust Sia the protocol which is open source.

Why have torrents anymore when there is Sia. Why should those guys who upload movies for free use file hosting sites when he can now use Sia?
Siacoin will be improved and tested like Bitcoin. If you trust your money to Bitcoin you will trust Sia for your data.

WTS 6M SIA for 1btc (0.17 per million).

I'll buy your 6M for .8 btc and what the heck I'll send first if you agree.

Btw Wulf, are you here to help or to dictate?
You don't take criticism well but seem to like to dish it out. I am no expert on design so I can't comment. But I'm sure between the crypti team
and yourself you guys will improve what is improvable. I'm thankful for crypti we have a design expert like you here but that doesn't mean
they have to listen to you. Just be patient, the design discussion you want will happen and you can have fun proving your points just be patient please.

Finally you said "people have lives", and this is where I take offence. You say this as if we (or specifically me in this case) don't have lives ourselves, or that our lives are somehow inferior to yours, that the time in our lives are somehow less valuable than yours. Did it not cross your mind that I too also took time out of my life, time that I could be doing countless other things with family members or whomever else to post feedback? Please don't act like you know me, or that you know who I am. You have no idea what other people are going through in their lives, so don't make assumptions or judgments on something like this EVER especially over the internet, where most often you know nothing about the person you are talking to.


It is obvious to everyone but you he meant the dev team have lives and can't analyze and respond to wulf's detailed criticisms within 2 days when design is kinda mid to low on priority list. If they didn't have lives then they would be sitting waiting for your criticism post and push everything aside to answer you as quickly as possible. Because they have lives they would probably have gotten around to addressing your post in a week. But you blew your top because you got no response after like 2 days! Typical wulf impatience.

@Grexx

I don't think Wulfcastle's post was aggressive at all, but yours definitely is.


Then you aren't reading it correctly. I've known Wulf a while now, he's upset and demanding a response because he put a lot of work into his reply and feels he's right. My point is that you shouldn't expect an immediate response or always expect a positive one. We are a Dev team working on a legitimate top tier technology and have a lot of moving parts.

Btw, I never said mine wasn't aggressive.

We are community focused and we listen, but don't think that gives you guys the right to make demands or come at us wrong. Many of our team members are doing this for pennies on the dollar and spending a lot of hours away from our families to make this happen for all of us. Try to be respectful.


To me Sparky_eMunie has reading comprehension problem. If you follow this thread wulf is very naggy and impatient. He says the community
has spoken haha. He is the only one who gave suggestion and demands devs to make the changes the "community" suggest. Okaaaaaaaaay.
We crypti need all community to stick together. Wulf has talent obv just his personality is like a wife. Grexx tried to calm him down.
Community is not always right like devs are not always right. Lets love each other with slow music.

Yes, me too. We have very close connections to guys, doing a full-node device for Bitcoin. Similar to a Raspberry Pi. If you want, I can try it out on a RasPi. Will take some time through. Smiley

I just want to make sure we think of all potential hurdle that prevent us from real success. In crypto lots of projects failing.
Crypti has probably the best team and such a good potential.

The delegates are presently on cloud servers because they performed poorly on laptop and home PCs.  It is possible to run the network from home computers, its just slower and only has a 75% forging rate (for my computer anyway).  

So its still possible that pc can have very good uptime its just most present delegate use cloud. We just need some more delegate or standby delegate to try.
I can not have a reliable pc run 24 hours now or I would test it.

But lets assume most pc can not uptime better than 75% isn't this something Boris should try and fix? If it is fixable?
For crypti to scale in the future is not important for pc to reliably forge with high uptime for delegate?

Again maybe it is just Litoshi pc and internet that is not perform well. We should see if others can forge well with pc.
Otherwise fix it if it can.

I think for now we should look only a year into the future. If we have a dozens of times more volume than Bitcoin, I think we will have the capacities to re-structure the system. Wink

For now we don't have the capacities and will use the system we have now, which is very good for the size we have and will have in the next few years. It's already very scaleable. If we will grow to such a big size some day, that the decentralization is a very important role, bc governments wants to shut us down, we will think of something different.

Also, if Crypti really would be used to move "hundred billion" a day, then we have to make entirely new decisions. Like block size and blockchain size. Smiley

Fair answer. But would still like "ability" for regular pc or raspberry to be reliable node if wanted.
