Topic: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - page 31. (Read 1382228 times)

Hi, I have an A3 and I've just let it mine on Antpool since I got the thing and let my coins accumulate there. Looks like Antpool is still up mining something. Do we know anything about that chain theyre on and anyone know if youc an claim both form them (I know prob a better question direct to antpool, but figured id ask here)

So you're unhappy with current $300 per day mining? I guess you're one of those never happy people

The real question is ..do I mine like hell now with my previously 5 doorstop obelisk sc-1's to Siacoin or to BTC?

That is a crap load of siacoin out in the world that those 4/5ths of other equipment (now can't mine siacoin) they may be in HODL state..previously but.now wanting to

dump to get ROI and any losses for a positive ledger on their now *obsolete equipment*

without any information on the 'supposed' network for cloud storage and progress by sia-tech, I'm guessing the best bet is just mine and convert to BTC to

be safe. But conflicted...

what are the rest of you thinking on this fork cluster***k?

brad

Is there a medium article or some kind of detailed info about the hardfork that we can see. I heard that there was a sliding scale for ratios of SC distribution after the hardfork but cant find any definative info.

And all you clowns butt hurt with your gpu's claiming decentralization

oops.double quoted was gonna delete this post and can't

hmmm......

well as an aside, any 'hope' or fixes by obelisk for the obelisk dcr1 decred miners?

(doubtful, but I have this blank post I can't delete...so I may as well kick this beehive as well)
of
I have ONE coming free (no shipping to data hall) for swap'ing 1/2 off coupons from my 'dubious' 5 siacoin miners I got that may and I say may...of course the sia obelisk

sc 1 miners MAY....

NOT BE DOORSTOPS AFTER A WHAT IS IT 1.5 MONTHS AS DOORSTOPS GASP! Tomorrow, November 1st 2018!

My one FREE decred miner ...er...not so much....

Anyway, still think it is beyond amusing that I got this unit free (hey its a paperweight, better than the 5 coupons) it is the 2nd batch..so by the time I get

it even free, I can't make any $$$ ...weird as hell huh? ,

anyway, will try to remember I can't delete posts on this board for a day or so

anyway...could be worse for you guys who ONLY got sia sc1 units....indeed!

brad

I certainly hope you are correct. My other major concern is their vision of a decentralized anonymous network at 10c to Amazon Cloud's $1 in fees.

Any idea how likely that is to 'fly' in the near future? Without that siacoin is deader than dead IMHO. But all I've been hearing is that the interface

sucks and it does not pay to setup a cube anymore to provide storage (the other leg in this 3 legged stool with price and asics and of course this network vision)

Alas, I got a bitmain unit B3 for $50 on eBay for 'shelf art' ..it included shipping. After taking it off as 25% off equip for taxes..I have a big $37.50 invested

in this. Alas, someone mentioned this would make 90c a day. Or say maybe $30 a month. the electric cost is $90 a month ...oops..back to shelf art. heh....

I also got a Bitmain V9 BTC miner for the same cost above...you guessed it 'bookends'

i have some sia coin in my wallet i create6 mounth ago with  siacoin gui wallet but i just create wallet and didnt sync it
i get forks or no?

and how setup wallet in ubunto linux? with command line

Hang in there my friend!


There is no 'fix' for adding circuitry/hardware to existing Asic miners. The changes made would require redesign, which Bitmain LOST their lead Asic designer some time ago - if anyone missed - this large event majorly offset their IPO plans and halted productions. Jihan has pissed off the majority of the few remaining workable asic prod facilities, in kind they contractually refuse further design agrmnts.
Bitmain is unlikely to rollout any new hardware designs as the setup process can take 6+ months before prod of any unit begins. Also requires large initial $cash$ sttlmnt - millions - Jihan admitted these setbacks with Bitmain as documents/evidence surfaced during the first IPO attempt (many details became public).

 Bitmain cannot easily fix this, nor can they quickly/easily reproduce the single required Asic for mining SIA.

 Other mining hardware manuf face these same hardware redesign challenges - this is not a quick fix , time + severe costs.

  No worries, The obvious deterrent here is sufficient to secure SIA mining in the future.
 
 SIA would not have made this move if it was a simple quick step to change for other mining hardware. Alot more to this.

 And now, we see the final last of the daily miner dumps happening up until the fork later today. Take note of this.


*Don't forget Bittrex USD>SIA added for easy 'On-ramp' (Institutional? Coinbase add? )
Anyone else opinion as to why Sia was selected from the 300+ Coins listed on Bittrex for USD?

what is that exactly?
I have not heard of it yet.
I have been hold Siacoin since January 2018. Can I still do something there?

That in my view will only (unfortunately) last 2-3 months. It will be a fairly easy fix to any new ASIC's to do the forked siacoin. In Bitmain's case it usually takes

them 1.5 months to mask chips and 1.5 months to get them into the world. This is very temporary. Innsilicon/Baikal/Bitmain will have a monster miner out

at the lastest in 3-4 months IMHO.

The only chance this MAY not happen is if the price of BTC and other Altcoins are sideways in price or drop further...thus not making it worth their while

to make these units...But betting against that cuts my neck in my hoard value of altcoins and BTC so I have a problem looking at this in that manner indeed!

whatever. Chump or Champ. We will be the first to know

I agree 100%, there are no losers with this fork, everyone has coins on both chains and ALL miners still can use existing hardware to mine and make a return on their investment. This is a better outcome than killing the original sia with continued infighting and stagnation.

i love SIA and i'm in since long time. the last bullrun was ended by the bitmain asic miner that killed the enthusiasm of investor. i have faith in this project and it's a nice time for new believer to come in. this fork will give to ppl a new vision of mining... i mean the team could made some deal with bitmain like other project... would love to see SIA on some hard wallet to hope this will come out in a near futur.

i'm excited to see after the fork how will be the 2 chains... i mean how will be the hashrate ... a good battle and sure some storm in the next weeks around siacoin and sia classic ?

RIP to the overload of SIA miners that have been dumping daily - killing the SIA price and destroying our supporting miners. NO MORE - it stops NOW. Finally.
 
 Miners that give a #@#$%@ about SIA and community are back in control.

Check out all of the daily miner SIA dumps happening for the last time today ... Good riddance to all of you and may the door hit you on the way out! So long Jihan and Bitmain crew that has rekt SIA's pricing support for far too long.


Also, SIA > USD --- This is really big news, Don't see the other coins/tokens getting USD support at POLO & Bittrex.

Something brewing with SIA, the infrastructure occurring on exchanges is incredible.

just to update poloniex is ok but the withdrawal occurred 3 hours after bittrex.... and fees are 1000 time higher on polo... 10sc compared to 0.1sc

How many times a year will I need to upgrade my miner if I decide to purchase one of the new miners for the announced fork?

To the contrary, I think the SC price may rise, perhaps substantially in the longer term. This is because the miners of the pre-forked version are more likely to mine for profit and sell the coins shortly after mining. On the other-hand those that bought the Obelisk mining rigs, that will be used after the fork, are more likely to be SC supporters and less likely to dump the coins. Of course I have no crystal ball and anything can happen in crypto.

So that's decentralization - Obelisk ASIC-s 

Thank you very much for your answer.
After read your answer , I understand as follows.
1. I can use wallet version 1.3.7.
2. I have to keep my seed.
3. After hard fork the wallet version 1.3.7 can sync with main chain automatically.
4. For other chain which may be will happen , I have to install new wallet which will lunch by other chain and use my seed from my existing wallet.( V 1.3.7 ) to access the new coin.

This my above understanding is correct or not.
