I want to buy SiaFunds where can I find them and how much?

Check either on the Discord of Sia in the #siafunds channel for OTC trading or on Bisq (https://market.bisq.io/?market=sf_btc).They have been trading for 2-3BTC in the last months

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.

Any new news on Sia? Can you also stake sia in the wallet?! Huh

Update from yesterday: https://blog.sia.tech/sia-community-update-october-ecf673f41e96 . As they have already answered you, Sia is not Proof of Stake, it is Proof of Work. More info about why here: https://siawiki.tech/about/pow_vs_pos

Thanks for the information, was and interesting read.
This is amazing that there are such community members who can create things, special thanks to a guy who developed a website called SiaStats. Helpful resource for seeing a variety of info from the Sia network like the number of daily transactions, total number of contracts, and more.Recommend to check.

I think it was Hakkane himself you developed SiaStats. Props to him. It's a very interesting, informative and good looking website. I think there are quite many statistic lovers behind us who really appreciate sites like this.

IF a patent is granted, would it cause SIA a problem insofar as having $expenses$ to go through a dispute process to show USPTO wrongly granted ?

Retroactive patent infringement? Only if the tech they're patenting is for time-travel. How would CME even go about that discussion with a judge in order to get an injunction? - "Your honour, this group of people have been flagrantly using our 2017-patented tech since 2015!!1!1!!"

Quote from: hacksmash on October 19, 2017, 11:44:50 AM

Should it be preemptively pointed out to USPTO 'prior art' already does exists and patent should be turned down ?

No, it isn't that kind of process. USPTO should be able to easily establish if CME's tech is anything like SIA's (or anybody else's) and, as I said, would then reject the application. If it isn't anything like SIA's then they wouldn't have a claim to make against them in the first place.

Prior art includes the described hypothetical, too, so having a public discussion about the theoretical design and methodology of a technology still counts. The technology doesn't have to have been used or even built in order to claim prior art, you need only find evidence of it having been discussed in open forum (i.e. not under NDA).

anyone able to tell me if there is a potential problem brewing here
This patent sounds (to me) very similar to what SIA does.

No problem. Read up on 'prior art'

Quote

Prior art is any evidence that your invention is already known.

Prior art does not need to exist physically or be commercially available. It is enough that someone, somewhere, sometime previously has described or shown or made something that contains a use of technology that is very similar to your invention.

If anything, most of these commercial blockchain-based patent applications will likely be rejected due to the fact it is extremely difficult to describe a sufficiently unique technological innovation which hasn't already been discussed at some point in recent years, probably on this forum.

I do hope it is rejected, however, USPTO seems noobish and grants patents very easily. Look at all the "on a computer" patents being disputed.

( or will us having this conversation have that same effect on their search )

ECC is too late to the game. Sia is already fully functional, on major exchanges and has tons of miners, disk leasers and users.

I've got 10 extra SiaFunds to sell. PM me serious offers.

Poloniex and bittrex are very good exchanges for sia to be listed on.

The best.

Does sia have a rest API for writing apps to interact with it?

How can a user see how much you've earned from SiaFunds?

Yes, Sia has APIs and they are awesome!: https://blog.sia.tech/api-quickstart-guide-f1d160c05235

To see how much you have earned so far, run a "wallet" command in the Terminal. Also, you can track how many dividends SFs are producing daily on https://siastats.info/siafunds.html

This technology become more usefull in these day. But i hard to buy sia to use this product. Please make its easy to buy.

You can easily buy Sia coin on exchanges? So far only Hitbtc and Poloniex offers the coin as far as I know.

You can also buy Sia Coin on Bittrex, what more do you want?

Poloniex and Bittrex is all you can ask for, in my opinion.

I downloaded the app and sent my coins to the address but I noticed this app is syncing, which can take a long time. So I tried to put myself in a casual user's perspective. Does the person trying to rent space have to also wait for the program to finish synching? And if yes, then I wish they had a way around this so that those people don't have to wait around for the sync to complete.

Yes, you need to wait the blockchain to sync or otherwise the siacoins you transfer for renting storage space will not show up in your balance.

And yes, there is a way around: try with a manual download, AKA bootstrapping https://siawiki.tech/daemon/bootstrapping_the_blockchain
