Bump

What is the supply?

Is it a pre mine?

Why does 1 address have over 99.9% of the available coins?

What's the block reward?

1: Download and sync the new sia client. Don't unlock your wallet until it syncs.

2: Click the wallet tab then "new wallet" (or something like that) on top right of screen.

3: SAVE the long password they give you! That is your password.. and you can also recover your coins with it even if you lose your wallet.json file

4: Unlock your wallet and then click load legacy wallet. Point it to your old wallet with the old funds and you should be good to go from there.

If you have siafunds.. I believe you can import them using the same method. I haven't done this myself though not because we can't but because I just want to make damn sure everything is working the way it should before I play with those.

FYI: Your wallet.json file can be found in your sia folder under resources>>App>>Sia>>wallet
You should probably still make a copy of this even though the long password is as good as your wallet.

There's actually 42 TB available at the moment and 16TB being used for contracts.

I would check this out... it has a ton of graphs and useful info

http://siapulse.com/page/main

though I don't think there's a graph for storage growth over time.

Yup it's working.

You should check out the new client.
You can upload and also make some money on the side if you've got extra storage space on your hard drive.

Well I'm not sure if this is the problem but... You said you're using your "wallet.dat" file...

Sia uses a wallet.json now and you have to use the Load Legacy Wallet option probably. Click the wallet tab screen. Click on the unlock wallet thing then on load legacy wallet). Do this after you install a fresh copy of SIA and make sure your block height is at whatever it says here http://explore.sia.tech/

Thanks for the update.

I'm assuming you guys (you and poloniex) will have everything all fixed up soon hopefully.

Looking very forward to 5.0 and glad to see the development coming along.

Although "deposits and withdrawals are temporarily disabled"

FYI here's a message I got from polo support which should give us all some relief.

-----------------------
I am afraid the wallet is not syncing, we are indeed speaking with the coin developer and awaiting a solution, when the wallet is re enabled all deposits and withdrawals will be processed at once. Wallets are backed up regularly so we can recover everything if needed.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Well i'm pretty sure if they "lost" them it's due to their own incompetence and it would tarnish their reputation if they didn't refund us either in SIA or BTC.

As long as they kept the password they should be fine..

Updates would be nice.

Yea i'm in the same boat as you. Everything is on Poli, still waiting on answers.

about 900-1000 with stock miner.

No pools yet but, devs are working on functionality I believe.

Couldn't agree more. It has such huge potential. Once they actually launch the publicity campaign people will find out exactly what this is and the price and use will spike. Before that happens they definitely have to weave out the bugs.

The price of the coin aside.. these guys are pioneers (it's never been about the price, it's about all the doors this opens up for an open decentralized democratic internet).

I think the password should have displayed the first time you clicked on the wallet tab. Did you just dismiss the popup? I can't remember how I did it but also try clicking on the on "locked" at the top right of the screen when you're in the wallet tab.

I'm pretty sure when you click "wallet" (ONLY for the first time) the popup shows up and you have to copy and paste that lonnng password.

The only thing I can say is to try a 100% fresh copy and then write the password from the popup when you click "wallet" for the first time. It only shows up ONCE.

I don't know what else to tell you, perhaps others can chime in on the subject.

also fyi, we are in fact currently at block # 16374

I would just redownload and start fresh with a new copy of the client. Wait for it to download the blocks before you try anything. (It took a really long time for mine to update fyi like 6-7 hours or something)

When you click wallet the first time it should show you the password. Just copy and paste that somewhere safe.

If you don't see anything on the screen where it says something like "here's your password" just double click to select the text, copy and paste it somewhere since sometimes there's a display error and it doesnt always show.

Then just load your legacy wallet again.

This is what I did and it worked for me (and I ran into the problem where I couldn't see the pass it generated for me too.. but I got around that by double clicking the text to select everything and then copy/pasting.

Goodluck

If you restart SIA it forgets you mined the block so you just have to wait the 144 blocks before it shows up in your wallet.

If you haven't restarted SIA the command will show you the # of blocks mined along with the # of stales.

Good. More SIA for me!

I actually happen to think this is a great investment... it's just that it isn't going to explode overnight. This is going to take some time but it will be well worth it.

The price of SIA is intrinsically tied to the price of storage/bandwidth and decentralization of data... What people are willing to pay for those is what the price of SIA will end up being.

This project has amazing potential and I for one believe it's going to be the next big thing.

Blocks are coming in slow right now because of the difficulty explosion so it may not have reached the 144 blocks.

You can check out
explore.siacoin.com

for addresses but that's not going to give you much info about blocks you've mined (at least that I know of).

It's better if you go into the
resources>>app>>sia
folder

open command prompt in the folder and run the following

siac miner status

That will show you how many blocks you've mined along with any false positives

There's no faucet I'm aware of but you can buy some on poloniex.
https://www.poloniex.com/

The ticker symbol is SC

One option to see how many blocks you've mined is to run
siac miner status

in the command line.. within the sia folder

there's no max.

Each block is worth 300,000 minus current block #.
It hits the floor at 30,000 so every block after block # 270,000 is worth 30,000
