I remember the "bug" was taken quite seriously and needed verifying. I believe one user from this community on this thread jumped the gun and called "fud" when presented with the whole breakdown of shens notes and not just some speculation from the monero crowd. A unnecessary knee jerk reaction, but unnecessary all the same.

I believe the ShadowCash developers tried to break the code before actually having all of shens notes(as the speculation was coming from multiple monero and other troll accounts here on this medium). I believe they said as much and assured the community that they tried and failed to break it in the 10 hours they tried. Remembering that was based on speculation alone! Once verified however, after having shens full notes and breakdown of the correct way to break the codel. The community was told that shen was correct and was thankful to him/them and the bounty was arranged. That was handled for the most part in other mediums of communication but i do remember it all being here, eventually, as well, from members of this community.

Most skidmarks just have to remember there was a bounty for this exact reason in the first place. Shadowcash, its developers, and community members are far better off, now, then they were before shen brought up that bug. The system worked and peer review paid off. I still believe if the developers here were after money alone they would have dumped the project and gone to work for Microsoft...a long time ago!

Why do i believe this? Because you can actually have a relationship with the development team here (and it is a TEAM comprised of professionals not some upstart pretending to be a team). I have had one and got to know them quite intimately. I believe they are one of very few teams who actually show their faces and meet their community in public places. The ShadowCash team is among some of the great names who publicly back their ideas and code with real interactions, in real places.

They are not only great people but have proved over and over again that they believe in something as a collective and will do what it takes to work together to chip away at those goals.



P.S Dev team, i cant seem to find info from official ShadowCash sources. I think its really important to show the findings of shen if only as a badge. It is valuable that you are that transparent, everywhere.
There is nothing to hide, it is a bit embarrassing, but you handled it like the professionals you are and ShadowCash is far better off now because of it. Be proud, stay diligent, and stay safe.

I think the 'Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed' appears when you make a new wallet so you can copy down the seed.  Because when the wallet first opens you don't know what seed is being used for your list of addresses.  Once I make a new wallet though do all my addresses come from that seed that I was able to copy down?

If I import the siakey into my wallet are my siafunds wiped from my siakey and imported into the seed addresses? I'm worried if that's so, I won't always have my siakey to back up and if something happened with my wallet that my siafunds would be forever lost.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks! In mine it's install-dir/resources/app/Sia/ and then what you had.  In /Sia/wallet I have wallet.json, wallet.log, and Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed-____________.Seed.  Do I need to backup all 3? All they all encrypted or just the Encrypted Backup Seed? I don't want to store unencrypted backups.

In addition I was wondering how to check my siafunds address? I have a SiafundAddress_Key0.siakey file but when I open it in text edit it's all gibberish.

Thanks!

That is incorrect. I struck it out just so no one mistakenly follows it.

The contents in the roaming folder are unrelated to Sia and are Electron files to speed up operation of the UI.

If you intend to backup your data it is all stored in the same folder you installed Sia in a series of folders at either:

install-dir/siad.exe
install-dir/siac.exe
install-dir/wallet/ (Contains wallet.json)
install-dir/consensus/ (Contains blockchain)
install-dir/gateway/
install-dir/host/ (Contains any hosting contracts you may have)
install-dir/renter/ (Contains .sia files to retrieve your uploads)

or

install-dir/sia-ui.exe
install-dir/resources/app/siad.exe
install-dir/resources/app/siac.exe
install-dir/resources/app/wallet/ (Contains wallet.json)
install-dir/resources/app/consensus/ (Contains blockchain)
install-dir/resources/app/gateway/
install-dir/resources/app/host/ (Contains any hosting contracts you may have)
install-dir/resources/app/renter/ (Contains .sia files to retrieve your uploads)

(I might not have the paths exactly right since this is from memory right now but that's the idea)

I have been away from sia for awhile and my wallet version is pretty old.  Last time I was here (like 4 months ago) there were issues with coins being lost.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can safely download the new wallet version and how to get my old wallet.dat file in the new program?  There were changes on where the wallet.dat is saved so I'm not sure how to proceed I don't want to lose any coins.  I also had sianotes as well.

Thanks for the help!

Hi I haven't checked in on the project in a bit and was wondering how I get my coins off Koinify? Also, the mac wallet doesn't work for me there's no GUI just a FactomApps folder with a lot of exec files (walletapp, factom-cli, factomd, fctwallet).  There is also a StaticFiles folder with a lot of files in it.  Does mac only have the command line wallet for now?

Thanks

I just have fopund out, that sia is a project I will have a look at. Well, compared to sjcx it is yet far behind, but I am pretty sure when the block reward will halfed, the price will sky rocket. No doubt on that.

I'm completely new here and just found out about Sling.  Can someone explain why the price has dropped so much? It sounds like an amazing, completed project.

Thanks

So I can't quit siad until the transaction is confirmed? Generally how long does it take for it to stop saying pending -110S?

And about the fees, I have four transactions that are just -10S with none of the money I sent going through.  Then today another transaction appeared that's -110 so one did work.  The address listed is not the one I sent to though which is strange.  Maybe some fees went through without the transaction because I was quitting siad? Didn't realize I had to wait for all the confirmations before I could close the wallet.

And yes I'm trying to send coins to myself does that change how I should do things? Thanks!

That's amazing that alpha release is this month! What features will it include? I feel like the price does not get all the amazing things happening!
