Question, I head there's coming a new Wallet version.
Is there a date when it will be released?
Is there a date when it will be released?
No, there isn't an official date. But just some hours ago there was another weekly dev update on Discord:
Quote
Development update for week of Nov. 19, 2017
This week was cut short because of the U.S.A Thanksgiving Holiday on Thursday and Friday. Nonetheless, the Sia team continues to move forward on the upcoming 1.3.1 release.
3 Nebulous repos were updated this week with 15 pull requests merged and 7 issues closed. 1.3.1RC2 is still waiting for the writeaheadlog repo to be finished and integrated. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday 1.3.1RC2 is likely going to be available in early December.
The Minio team has officially merged in the Sia Gateway code enabling the Minio integration. Congratulations to everyone who helped and to dvstate for submitting the Pull Request. You can view the PR here: https://github.com/minio/minio/pull/5114
The /r/siacoin subreddit passed 17,000 subscribers this week and continues to grow. The Siacoin market cap has also seen considerable growth this week helping Siacoin briefly climb its way back into the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
Happy Thanksgiving

So version 1.3.1 will probably be released around mid December.
I hope this coin recovers

"Each time that you make a new contract, you have to put coins into the contract that can be taken away from you if you are a bad host."
What does "bad host" mean?
Thank you, a great project here!

David Vorick presenting Sia at QCon London 2017: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/decentralized-storage
I don't think ASIC mining is a great idea look at bitcoin and all the large mining operations that control everything. I thought their announcement was a technical one with cool features, very disappointing news.
Agreed. Also, I thought the news was not until Friday - so maybe this is just a foundation for future announcement?
It was the big news. But there will be more details until friday. Devs are writing a blog post for tomorrow:
Taek: I'm working on a blog post for tomorrow that'll walk through the full implications of Obelisk for Sia's users. From an everyday perspective, Obelisk does not affect users at all. From a decentralization perspective, it's an important step
why do i need 2000 SC to host files?
You need to put up some collateral. See here:

Hi,
I just downloaded the User wallet Sia-UI-v1.2.1-osx-x64, when I am installing it says A JavaScript error occurred in the main process and I am unable to proceed.
Can someone advise me the steps to fix this? Or is there any other wallet I can put in my recovery passwords?
Thanks

Most probably you just need to move the app.
Hi guys! I downloaded the newest version of the SIA wallet and its says:
A java script error occurred in the main process.
With a lot of coding stuff beneath it.
Anyone know what to do, so the wallet can start up?
Thanks!

Yes, you need to move the Sia-UI.app to your /Applications/ folder. See also here: https://siawiki.tech/client/troubleshooting
Or you may buy it at hitbtc, poloniex and cryptopia.
No, apart from Bitsquare you cannot buy Siafunds on any exchange (yet). So you need to use Bitsquare or trade them OTC (e.g. in the Sia slack channel #siafunds).
Just bought some SC from an exchange and I want to take it out.
I need someone to take a minute of their time to please provide me with wallet setup instructions so I can have my SC in my hands and not with an exchange. SC seems to be a bit more complicated than most. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Where can I buy sianotes from, what is current price?
Not sia coins, the other asset from NXT days

See the Wiki for some information about Siafunds: https://siawiki.tech/wallet/siafund
They have been traded for 1-2 BTC lately.
What is going to be the estimated price for a minebox?
It's around $800.
I find this coin intriguing but it is so low price on poloniex.
Is development active? I like the idea of investing.

It's quite active! Three people working full time on development plus more people for marketing and operations.
Check their Github: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/commits/master
Also, their devs are very friendly. If you join Slack you will find them there as well chatting with the community and answering questions.
In my opinion, the coin is much undervalued for what the tech has achieved already. For sure a good time to invest.
What is SC inflation like? It looks like it started inflating a lot around the new year?
You can find the inflation chart here: http://siapulse.com/page/market
Inflation is still high but constantly decreasing.

The Sia team will do an AMA (ask me anything) this Friday at 2pm EST on reddit (exact place to be announced later).
Please join them and take the opportunity to ask them any questions you have. For sure you will learn a lot about the Sia cloud storage platform and the next steps in its development process.
