ASIC mining rig is a great news!

WHy is the coin being dumped like that?
Such bad news or what?

Yeah, was this the great news coming this friday or is there something else? Price is going down right now. Sad

EDIT: And I can't do anything with my siacoins because I sent them to the wallet when I installed it and it's taking an eternity to synchronize so I can't see my coins or send them anywhere else, how is it possible that it takes so long? Huh

I was planning to hold for a while, but if I wanted to sell before the price goes lower, I just couldn't because the wallet is the slowest cr*p I've seen in my life. I don't know the reasons for this, but the devs should definitely work on it if they really want that Sia becomes a truly popular plataform, I can see lots of people thinking "f*** it" and uninstalling it after checking how incredibly slow it is.

just take a chill pill. Btc is rising so fast now. And other coins hard to keep up. It will go back to normal! Probably its better for you. That you did not have chance to sell.

Like I said, I bought siacoins as a long term investment, so I was not planning to sell, but I don't know if it's normal that the wallet sync takes sooo long, and I think that's not good for a plataform that I guess that wants to become popular.

And if I wanted to sell because the price was dropping too much and I could potentially lose a lot of the money I invested, I just wouldn't be able to do it, and I think that Sia should warn everybody that transactions/balances are not available until the sync is completed, and that said sync can take DAYS to be completed, that way I would have been warned to not send my siacoin to the wallet until the sync was completed, and I guess everybody would like to know something like this before using the Sia plataform/wallet.

I downloaded the wallet because I invested in Siacoins and wanted to keep them safe, but if I was a casual user that wanted to check how Sia worked and I saw how long it takes to properly work, I don't know if I would have the patience to wait for so long for the sync. I don't know the technicalities behind this, I'm just saying that something like this should be worked out to avoid losing potential new users.

can tell you one thing.you should invest in something you know about and read about. it will sync just leave you computer. and the price will stabilizes.

I obviously read about it before investing, but I didn't read anywhere in their site that synchronizing the wallet could take so long and that in the meanwhile I couldn't access my balance/transactions/siacoins. Maybe they could warn it in their site, that's all I'm saying, because now my siacoins are frozen in the wallet and for a lot of casual users having to wait so much for the synchronization could be a reason to pass on using Sia (and I hope that uploading files is a much faster process, because this is just ridiculous).

You seem to be implying that it's my fault to not know how absurdely slow this wallet is when afaik nowhere in their site there is a warning about this, and I have not magical powers to know about something that is not warned in their official site. I've used other wallets and none of them have made me wait for so long to be able to access my coins.

If it took just a couple of hours I wouldn't complain, but if it takes several days, in that time Siacoin's price could drop to zero and I would lose all the money I invested on it. Or maybe I could just need the money for something else and I would want to sell asap, and I just couldn't because all the siacoins are frozen in the wallet until the sync is finished. I repeat I'm not planning to sell, but if I wanted or needed to, I just couldn't do it because the wallet takes too much time to sync.

Took me around 3 hours to sync the wallet after downloading it. It's not that bad.

In my case, it's been synchronizing since yesterday, and it's still at 43.9% (8 hours ago was at 39%). I have read (wish I had read it before) how some people needed to wait for 3 days until it was synchronized. Like I said above, if it synchronized in just 3 hours I wouldn't complain about it, but 2 days for just half of the sync is just too much, in this cryptomarket 2-4 days can be an eternity.
