Mining from wallet, is the GPU memory minimum 2GB? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Can anyone answer this? If its 2GB minimum, I will order a new card. Right now when I start mining, it starts and then promptly stops.

Not real sure as I have always mined with 2 GB or more cards, so maybe?,,,,, out of curiosity what are you trying to mine with?

All I have right now is an old ATI 5850 1GB, but in market for newer card. Just wanted to get started mining until I got new card. I think I may need a 2GB card. I know ETH needs at least 2GB. Must be same for SIA.

I went back through some of my older post and I did mine with a couple of 7790's at one point and they did work/hash and are 1 GB cards.

Seems there may be something about the older cards like even the 6870's I have, seems they would not mine. I know the cores changed with the Radeon 7790's on up. So it may be the design of the GPU... Ill keep digging lol

The mining algo doesn't use gpu memory (except for passing parameters to the kernel, of course).
I guess you could do with a 256MB card as well.
I see no reason why the miner wouldn't work on a VLIW card like yours (the final OpenCL code is very simple and compact).

Hi.

Anyone could tell me how much coins are producing SIA each day?

my Blockchain seems to be stuck at 34820 - what can I do?

Unfortunately not much other than wait. It's a known issue and the network gateway system was overhauled for the next release which should make syncing a much smoother process.

and where are the Blockchain and the wallet files located on ubuntu?
Thanks!

They are within folders titled "consensus/consesus.db" and "wallet/wallet.json" respectively. The path to those folders depends on how you launched Sia, if you launch 'siad' they should be in the same folder, if you launched 'sia-ui' they should be under '/resources/app/Sia'

yes I see- I am now up to 34970 Blocks, so it will get there.

consensus.db is ~580MB.

Interesting to see the unusual wallet.json format - is there a link to an explanation of that wallet format?
Just curious, I don't really need to know this right now..

When you say export to 0.5.1 do you mean click the "Import Legacy Wallet" button from in the 0.5.1 UI?

It's not explained the most clearly so this has led to some confusion and I have not done this myself. rather I'm only stating it from memory after seeing it in Slack...

1) Firstly backup everything.
2) If you haven't already initialize a new wallet in the 0.5.1 UI, it will give you a password/seed
2.5) Backup the new wallet/password/seed
3) Click Import Legacy Wallet, from 0.5.1 and select the old wallet file
4) Enter the password from step 2
5) Close and re open the UI
6) Profit???

1. +
2. +
2.5. +
3. + - from 0.3.3.3
4. - The password is not requested, balance = 0
5. +
6. Balance = 0

So, I can forget about your coins?

There's plenty of people who have this working fine, you're doing something wrong and not putting much effort into these replies to fix it other than apparently trying to trash the coin. If you are serious about this join Slack where someone will walk you through it step by step.

Like in step 3, what do you mean "+ - from 0.3.3.3"? How does that help us help you?

I heard that many SIA platform users providing hdd space complain about not receiving their reward.
You argue that they get no reward if their uptime is below 100%. That is not right because everyone has problems with their online provider which cause downtime many times. This is not the SIA users' fault.
You shoud think of changing that as soon as possible. Further I see no success of SIA because downtime of a decentralized structure will always be a problem because of the telecommunication companies.

I don't think many people complain about not receiving their rewards. Some time some hosts asked questions regarding when they would receive the rewards when they had not seen the rewards showing up before the reward payoff time. I think they always receive the rewards in the end of the the contract period.

Also the hosts will receive their rewards if their up-time is below 100%. Sia does not required 100% up-time. I think the recommend up-time is 95%. But I think lower than that is still fine. If you have questions regarding that you can ask the devs either here or on the Slack. You can get quicker relies on the Slack.

I am just synching wallet on ubuntu 15.04 with
Sia UI version: v0.5.1-beta
Sia version: 0.5.1

currently, I am at block 22690, and it has been going since a cpl hours - how mayn blocks are there currently?

Will it be better to DL a blockchian and use that?

Hence the redundance in storage places. Next great idea would be downtime tolerance, so retrying to contact host for payments several times and then sending revard according to uptime percentage recordable. 50% downtimes detected ... 1/2 reward. More uptime reliability, more rewards. Who manages like 90% (privateer, desktop) should be eligible for recieving full rewards.

Try this:

1. Backup everything (you've done that already I think)
2. Copy the 0.3.3.3 Sia\resources\app\Sia\wallet directory to the same directory of the 0.5.1 beta version
3. Restart the wallet
4. If it asks for a password this time, enter your seed password

This is not scientific. It's the procedure I went through to move my sia install to c:\ as I wasn't prepared to touch the version in the wrong directory until I confirmed that the new location was working. I performed a brand new installation and then copied over the existing wallet directory and consensus.db. It worked for me so it might work for you.

I'm just thinking that with the typical QT wallet, moving the wallet file is what's important for keeping your addresses and balance. That's why I followed my procedure above

Steps 1-4 I did before as written here for the first time. It does not work, since wallets 0.3.3.3 and 0.5.1 have different formats.
Wallet 0.5.1 ignores wallet files 0.3.3.3, as if they were not there. Then already I read about imports, but imports did not help.

I might think an altcoin has a great team behind it; prestigious backers/devs, good roadmap/graphics(lol), slick design/website/etc., even join the team and chat with the members every day - but they'll still run off, take your money, and shift the blame so you're left thinking they're still legit.

[/i]

Sorta reminds ya of paycoin Grin

lol

IMO these devs and Nebulous Labs are good at what they do and have a real product here with a real purpose. Not to say this or any project couldn't collapse, but they have a lot invested in it on their end as well, I'm sure.

there are rumors about huge amount investment to SIA team.

Rumours

I gotta feeling that next week we will se many satoshis!

actually not rumors at all. you check slack dev channel.

Wonder what that would be. ..i am not selling my coins. That for sure!

we're in the process of raising money. It's a significant amount, should be settled by the end of Feb.
