is there a way to use wildcards with the SIA renter? I have uploaded some files with foreign characters in the filename and cannot delete them anymore

I have asked the devs on Slack, let's wait for their answer...
Can't you just copy the filename from the file-list and insert it into the command?

I tried it (and a lot of other work arounds) and was not successful Sad

An answer from the devs: It is not (yet) possible to use wildcards in the CLI but it should be possible to select and delete the files in the UI. In the UI it is also possible to select a range of files with Shift+Click.

if I try it I get a "Sia-UI Files Error - no file known with that path"

maybe I just let the files where they are and ignore them (in hope that * and ? wildcards will be available sometime)

@betaboot thank you for the effort Wink

For future reference, what foreign characters are a problem? Can they be reproduced here?

yes sure - the charcter are these: ä ü ö

you may find them here: https://www.lsa.umich.edu/german/hmr/schreiben/umlaute/umlaute_ASCII_html.html

SIA can be mined with FPGA or ASIC? Price is to low to be mined only with GPU, or exist efficient private miner....

why is the inflation so high with this coin ?
any reasons for that?

Are you asking why it is worth almost nothing? Narrow market, limited use, too many coins in circulation. Over time it should get better, because it is necessary for storage contracts, but they're a long way from here to there. Check back in a year.

no,actually i wanted a technical answer why the inflation needs to be that high.

it didn't need to be. The devs over played their hand. They thought abt this coin like a currency strategy, were everyone would want and need some to buy cloud space. But they over estimated the demand and here we are.

You're not investing in the company by purchasing Sia coins. Sia coins don't gain value because the project takes off.

Think about it. You need to buy storage, so you buy some Sia coin. You go to the Exchange and buy some coin. You then pay the host for the storage. The host sells the coin on the Exchange for bitcoin. Price of SIA remains flat. There are some middle men, as well, who take a percentage of the coins as part of an investment sale at the earlier stages of the project.

You might think that because Sia coins get locked up into contracts during the term of the storage purchase that this would raise prices. But since storage is offered at a floating rate determined by the nodes, if the value increases they will ask for less coin, meaning less pickup. If the rate decreases, they ask for more coin. Effectively always keeping the value of Sia as close to zero as possible. The only thing that raises the value is idiotic speculation that somehow Sia profits would go to Sia holders.

It won't, because the node has an incentive to charge the least possible to get the most contracts filled, so the person with the smallest overhead can charge the least, and it's a race to the bottom.

Sia may be a good product, but the coin is dumb.

Right. Exactly. Its the Dumb business side of the coin.

The Idea behind sia and its technical dev I have no problem with. Its the Business side. The generating of money the Exposure, etc, etc that is the problem with this coin. And will be left in the ashes of altcoin history if not thought about,

HAHAHAHA

More like 5yrs. This Damn thing is at 27 sats. Devs are not pulling their weight per marketing/business model just filling their own ego by fixing small bugs here and there. Tell me a product that was released that worked 100%. None why. Because u put it out there generate income and fix it along the way. Look at the kings of industry Microsoft the biggest Bugs but with billionS in revenue, ford, gm, on and on. Its a good product but something else is going on. DEVS?

Tons of Great, Mind blowing inventions have gone nowhere because the public did not know abt them or never advertised. That's what I believe is the fate of SIA coin.

Sia is so good, I missed the last pump, the price was 3 sat, i should really collect some when sia was not famous. Sia is funded with VC, no wonder they don't need ICO, great project.

Or, better yet, check back before then........I think if you wait a year, you'll very likely miss the bus. Version 1.1.0 will be released within the next couple weeks. I'm not saying Sia will moon, but 1.1.0 should be a nice start with the improvements slated for this release. Not to mention, the Minebox launch should also be favorable for Sia.

I tried it (and a lot of other work arounds) and was not successful Sad

An answer from the devs: It is not (yet) possible to use wildcards in the CLI but it should be possible to select and delete the files in the UI. In the UI it is also possible to select a range of files with Shift+Click.

if I try it I get a "Sia-UI Files Error - no file known with that path"

maybe I just let the files where they are and ignore them (in hope that * and ? wildcards will be available sometime)

@betaboot thank you for the effort Wink

For future reference, what foreign characters are a problem? Can they be reproduced here?
