This past weeks have been awesome for Siacoin. It raalied toward x2 of its value. 5 months ago it was a measly 5-10 sats. Now it grew to 100 sats. Awesome!!!
Will I be able to spend my siafunds with the GUI of 1.0? And will I be able to import my old wallet.dat or wallet.backup?
I am a participant in the genesis account of siafunds. I hope I haven't lost my siafunds forever. But I am not sure. All I have are old wallet.dat's and wallet.backup files.
can anyone answer this?I am a participant in the genesis account of siafunds. I hope I haven't lost my siafunds forever. But I am not sure. All I have are old wallet.dat's and wallet.backup files.
I was talking to Taek on Slack about this. He said I have to wait until 1.0 and that he thinks my Siafunds are NOT lost. Let's hope the best
What is the actual problem here? If you have the wallet.dat, then why is there any threat you may have lost your siafunds?
where are the siafunds stored? I thought they were on the sia blockchain
The problem is that the current client does not support the import of these very old wallet.dats from june 2015. Therefore I am not able to sell my siafunds now, although i wanted to. Let's hope that version 1.0 will support the import of these old wallet.dats.
Ok, you're probably not the only one effected by this, so I'm sure Taek will add an import function for legacy wallets eventually.
Where is the market for siafunds anyway? Is it OTC only?
The SIA is not mining,Who can help me,I downloaded: Sia-UI-win32-x64 sia-gpu-1.0.5, and can open the wallet, I closed the wallet lock, and then try to open: sia-gpu-miner, but application did not perform. Tip: cannot normally start (0xc 00000 7b), please you help I

My sense is that Sia is going to have problems on the supply side. I hope they're starting to think about an early niche market. Who is the group with an unmet storage need to whom they can tailor their early offerings? They're competing against big players in this space and I don't think "everyone needs storage" is going to cut it.
I was speaking with a human geneticist yesterday and they're in crisis mode regarding data storage. They have ways of compressing the 3B base pair sequence in the early stages they like to keep the entire code intact for rapid reanalysis. Seems like Sia's contract system might make sense at least in terms of allowing for medium-term self-terminating contracts. Decentralized storage genetic data may also address some of the privacy concerns in a way that centralized storage cannot.

Does anyone know how much can be earned per gigabyte of storage rented out? I'm running some numbers to see if it makes sense to set up a storage server in some rackspace, have room for up to 2 petabytes. We may also be able to lease some of it to local tenants as an add on service to broadband, use the server as fast access storage, with Sia as mirrored backup.
We also have the Bitseed unit available, with up to 3 Terabytes of internal storage, which can make a personal storage unit, but are waiting for the GUI interface to put Sia on it, https://bitseed.org/

Why is there such a long delay for a pool?
How does this system differ from STORJ? $DCO is looking for a storage solution for our decentralized collaborative organization.
Here's a useful summary - see also Taek's replies to comments:

I know that the current SC supply (according to coinmarketcap) is ~ 14.94BN coins
But what will be the eventual total supply and over what timescale will that happen?
Apologies if this info is already available somewhere - I've looked but can't find it. Thanks

The last time I checked the numbers: ~ 45Billion in 5 years is the main supply and a very small inflation after that, about 1% yearly.
Thanks
I've re-done calculations, and it added up to 36 Billion in 2020 and 1.5 Billion every year after that. 45 Billion in 2026, can someone confirm or correct these figures?

The definitive answer:
Quote
In Sia FAQ - "The number of siacoins created each block is (300,000 - height). The genesis block has a height of 0. After height 270,000, all blocks will have a reward of 30,000 siacoins. The current number of siacoins can be found at explore.siacoin.com"
Right now (March 26th, 2016) the Sia block height is 43,049. So it will need about another 4.3 years((270,000-43,049)/(144365)=4.3years) to hit the 270,000 block height to start the 30,000 coins constant rewards. In about 4.3 years when sia hits the 270,000 block height, there will be about 44.55 billion (((300,000+30,000)/2)270,000=44.55 billion) siacoins available in the market. From there, there will be about 1.57 billion (30,000144365=1.5678 billion) of siacoins coming out from the mining every year constantly. So in 5 years from today, there will be about 45.6 billion of siacoins available. In 10 years from today, there will be about 53.5 billion of siacoins available in the market.

I heard about first pool for siacoin 
Actually why anyone not build pool for that coin?

Hi everyone, who knows Sia mining pool?
No pools for Sia.
