How do I send coin to my new wallet?

Please share it with us. 

Hey guys. It is with regret that I say that we aren't going to be doing anymore miner releases or patches in the near future, and we are dropping support for miner binaries.

We've decided on this because we've been spending too much time trying to get the miners to compile, and too much time dealing with bugs and dependencies we don't understand. Rather than try to get into the world of cross-compiling opencl, we're going to be spending our time over the next few weeks working on what really counts - decentralized storage.

The code for the miners is still open source, and it works well on Linux. Furthermore, linux is a free OS and runs on most architectures. We're sorry that mining isn't highly accessible to everyone, but it's something that is currently out of reach for the Sia core team. I do believe that others however are interested in working on Sia miners. We are willing to help anyone who wishes to release their own open source miners and mining pools, we're just not going to be making them ourselves during the forseeable future.

Sorry for the disappointing news. On the other hand, going forward we're going to be focusing a lot more on the storage components of Sia. We're excited for what's next, and hope you like what we're working on.

You assume it's that simple - like someone can just change a magic number and do that. Why don't you, in that case?

We have received about 650 BTC for now,The IPO will be ended on June 30th or once it reach the 1000 BTC target.

I agree with you.

SIA just only be Nvidia mining

Give up AMD, Don't Waste the electricity

I guess what goes around comes around lol in the old days you could really only mine BTC with AMD (and most scrypt) and yes I mined a lot then. But now it has flipped with SIA... NVidia is the winners... oh well guess we got to take the good with the bad  

And you can bet, its only a matter of time before SW is out for asic mining as well.... its coming one day. I am sure there are some code writers already burning the midnight oil working on it as we speak  

I am just wondering will it be SHA mining or scrypt mining?... or both lol cause this coin started out as CPU mining.

Ya I have cut my amd miners off. Even the Nvidia guys with maybe 1 or 2 gpu's will struggle as well to hit a block with the network hash so high now. Better off almost mining for a bitcoin lol

Either have a decent farm or ya got lucky in the first 24 hours of mining. Even with my AMD's I did find many blocks right out of the gate once I figured out the miner software, after a 3 hours and almost giving up, glad I didn't. but by the next day I was finding maybe 1 block each 24 hrs with 400 MH total.

Where/how can we check the network hashrate ? I can't access to the block explorer.
With a normal GTX 980, I can mine at about 650mh/s : I know there are some private miners with a R9 280X mining at 800mh/s, but I can't believe hashrate is so high than you need 300GH/s which correspond to a good gpu farm (375 280x) to mine a block per week.
 

Haha, as said before, welcome Farmers and goodbye to all those small time miners out there....

Hash rate (last 1000 blocks)   87.269127GH/s
Hash rate (last 100 blocks)   177.978138GH/s
Hash rate (last 30 blocks)   235.458683GH/s
Hash rate (last 10 blocks)   524.288000GH/s


This definitely isn't the standard open source miner anymore.. :p

Even with no modified hashing, it should go way higher than that. The default intensity is now set quite low as to reduce the chances of crashing on a lower-end GPU if someone tries it out with the default parameters. The intensity option is there, and I expect you to use it - which is why I could lower the default. Just keep raising it by maybe 2 each time until hashrate stops improving, slows down, or the hashrate counter takes too long to update. If you've seemed to find a good intensity for your card, but hashrate is still printing multiple times per second, then use the -C option (cycles per iteration), to make the GPU do more work in between the hashrate printout and new work fetch.

If you mean the actual rewrite I did and posted about earlier, thanks. If you mean what I have on GitHub, that's not an optimization, it's how you properly get the list of OpenCL platforms on a system, and the list of GPU devices in a selected platform. Besides that, I added options to give the user direct control over intensity, plus the number of kernel enqueues before stopping to fetch new work and print hashrate.

With those options available, it should be simple to mine on all devices on a system, and probably get a little higher hash out of them, simply because you can tune the intensity.

That GitHub is here: https://github.com/wolf9466/Sia-GPU-Miner

Can someone please post a link to the latest gpu miner?

I know there's this one that was posted by Wolf
https://github.com/wolf9466/Sia-GPU-Miner

but i'm using windows and I can't "make" that file so I need one that's a ready to go exe.
