How many siacoin will be mined total? The suplly is increasing every day and every day more coins come in cerculation. Tis is biggest reason of price fall in siacoin.

Almost every coin out there is inflationary.

There is no limit in the supply of the coins, as a way to ensure miners will be always incentivized to secure the network. The block reward is decreasing on every block until it reaches a minimum of 30KS. You can check the expected Supply and Inflation rates here: https://siastats.info/supply_inflation.html resulting from mining activity

In top of that, in a future update hosts will be required to burn some coins to prove their legitimacy. The amount of coins that will be burnt can't be predicted, but it will more as hosts join the network and storage usage increases. At some point, it is possible that with enough network usage, the coin can become deflationary.

Do you guys know a way to make the windows client sync faster? Maybe I'm missing an update or maybe I can make it accept more connections? I don't open my wallet that often but let it sync every now and then.
I have the same thing, takes really..... really long to sync

So no one know how to make it become faster?

Will look around somewhere here for answer. And telegram or slack channel for fast response or support?

That question was already answered a few posts bellow the original question:

The initial sync of the blockchain takes very long if you are using a HDD. On a SSD it takes less than 8 hours.

You can greatly accelerate the process by manually downloading an updated image of the blockchain (AKA bootstrapping). Check the instructions here: https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain


In the future, if you need fast answers check in the official Discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/sia) and the official reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/) as they are the only official channels. Devs and most of the community do not check Bitcointalk

Nearing 1000 hosts ! A big thank you to all the hosts who are part of sia network. Though there is not much earning or incentives as of know, I guess you guys believe in the project long term. Also, I Think 1000 hosts milestone should be marketed well.

Best move during altcoin bleeding is to catch some cheap and sell when the market will be on increase again. Selling is like making someone favor to take your coins at best advantageous price. I will buy more rather than liquidating at this phase specilly.

When you rent out disk space using SIA, do you need to open any ports on a router to the server you are hosting it on? And also how many SIA do you need to have in the wallet, will having more result in better payment or trustworthiness to others? Like a rating/positive review system?

Yes, you need to port-forward the ports 9981 and 9982 in your router and allow their traffic in the firewall of your hosting computer. The minimal collateral budget required is 2000SC, but if you plan to host large amounts of data you will need much, much more. You select your own pricing, including the collateral per TB per month you offer as a guarantee you will keep the files during all the time with the required uptime. The more collateral, the better score (and so more chances to be selected as a host by a renter).

How to i can rent strorage from my wallet!
I try many times but can not finish!

Check this guide if you want to be a host (offer your disks): https://siawiki.tech/host/using_the_ui_for_hosting

or this other one if you want to be a renter (pay for saving your data on the Sia cloud): https://siawiki.tech/renter/using_the_ui_for_renting

What exactly is difference from cloud applications like dropbox iCloud? decentralized systems have recently become fashionable. but how much the projects can be implemented.
Excellent point of view! I also saw some guys in the topic asked about real-life services which has been used from Sia project. Have  you ever used them?

At some point I had almost 1TB of data stored on the Sia network. I am also a host, so receiving compensation for offering storage. There is a ranking of renters that voluntarily decide to share their logs of used space to compete to be the top uploader: https://rankings.sia.tech/ So as you see real people is using Sia. Also check the usage of the network https://siastats.info/hosts_network.html (105 TB used in a network of almost 3500 TB) and this map of the host's network:



So as you can see, Sia is already a working product with a working network (and it has been working for more than 2 years).

I have a hosting company but I'm really bad seller. I have space and a rented server, how can I use it to gain sia? Some easy tutorial?

The server is on centos7

Obtain minimum of 200 Siacoins from exchange > Download SIA UI on the server (This is your wallet as well). For centos, I think there is another package that you can download > Transfer the Siacoins to SIA UI wallet (These coins will be used as security) > Add folders (HDD space) for hosting/renting > Form contract and specify the Siacoins that you wish to put up as collateral (this to ensure you leave your server running and HDD Space is available) and your charge.

Now wait for the contract to complete and earn SIA.
