Thank you. How can we see how many people are using Sia?
explore.sia.tech is the best place to get metrics on the network as a whole

explore.sia.tech is the best place to get metrics on the network as a whole
Thx for the clarification, but I doubt in expansion of SIA hosts with the fixed IP or dynamic DNS requirement...
much storage is available if nobody ever uses it.[/b] That's why we are choosing to focus all of our energy on the uploaders right now. Because Sia absolutely needs more uploaders, much more than it needs anything else.Tell your friends. Tell your Twitter/Facebook/Google/etc followers. Make a buzz.
Above all: If you like/believe in the future of Sia, then use Sia!! There is still much to be desired from the Sia wallet. But, by using Sia actively you signal to hosts, developers and everyone else monitoring the network (http://explore.sia.tech) that there is activity.
Critically, as you gain experience you're in a position to help new users. Dropbox experienced exponential growth in its early days, much by utilizing social network (referrals). There's a new Sia users each day, but some leave due to simply issues with the wallet, firewall configuration etc. It is important we help these users, as each one of these early adopters could translate into hundreds, or even thousands, of users a few years from now.
Sorry, I've been MIA for Christmas because I was travelling and forgot to bring my BTT and forum.sia.tech passwords with me.
Eventually, yes. For the time being though, we're focused on increasing our test coverage and getting the minimum features out. Sia has been designed with a high grade of attention to detail, and strong considerations for security. I'm guessing we're a lot ahead of most projects that don't have formal security audits. We have had a volunteer security auditor check us out, he was initially impressed but did not make it through the whole codebase.
The market cap of SIA has stayed surprisingly stable.
Yeah, I've noticed that too, we've held steady at $150,000 market cap since like 3 billion coins.
It's only mining that takes 144 confirmations. Typical spends will show after only 1 confirmation. Anything that poliniex sends should appear in 'pending' immediately, and should appear in 'balance' after 1 block.
Let me know if you are having more trouble. From what I've read, the original problem you were having was that Windows firewall was enabled, and that you had never unlocked the wallet? Knowing these things helps so that we can update our FAQ.
Are there plans to have a security researcher to do a code review?
The bigger players all have the means. Maybe a bounty can attract a CompSci PhD student or alum.

unlock your wallet to see any balance ... and if it still isnt there when you do - it means confirmations havent been completed yet ...
sia takes a large amount of confirmed blocks ( someone please insert how many confirms here please ) before anything is shown as 'your's in the wallet ...

windows firewall was enabled for some weird reason. thanks a lot sir. now time to get my first sia 
Alternatively, post an address here from your wallet and I'll send you a small amount to play with.did you send any because i have received none yet.
1. Estimated competitive price: 2.87 S per GB/month correct?
2. is the gb im selling system wide?
Yes, I sent you some Siacoins yesterday. I am absolutely sure of that. I do not see the transaction in the blockchain, however, which is very odd. In any case, I sent some funds again now. Here is the transaction:
http://explore.sia.tech/hash.html?hash=06fb395d8d5b9a46bf64da30d7e9486f2248bed10a4d3f609ec95c24e3cddb44b7c9226e4d33
1. The estimated competitive price tends to fluctuate. See http://siapulse.com/page/network and click the "Storage Offers" buttons to see what other hosts charge. You can selected as a host even if your price is above that of the cheapest hosts. Do not set your price above 500 SC, as that limit is hard-coded and you will not be selected as host if you set your price above this.
2. Yes, your storage is announced on the network and then becomes available to any other Sia user.

windows firewall was enabled for some weird reason. thanks a lot sir. now time to get my first sia
Sheeesh!!! How predictable!
Once Sia is fully synchronized you can get some free Siacoin from the faucet at:
http://siapulse.com/page/faucet
Alternatively, post an address here from your wallet and I'll send you a small amount to play with.

i cant sync wallet says blocks 0 and does not sync. no firewalls installed. can someone help? its a clean install and i have no coins...
Windows? Mac? Linux? Do you know if the daemon, i.e. siad is running? From command line, in the folder where siad and siac are, try to run:Code:
siac status
In the folder where sia.exe is, look for siac.exe. It might be in \app\resources\Sia\. Not sure on Windows. If you find it, run the command siac status. It will give you a bit more info.
Other than that, it sounds like it could also be a firewall issue. Make sure Windows allows sia.exe to connect to the internet.

Nope. Devs are prioritizing other things for the moment.

About 1 month ago i posted this:

i tried to sent my siacoins from polo to my wallet. Now it says on polo: Complete: Error"
Polo refunded my coins but i can´t send my coins to my wallet. One month later still the same problem. Wallet version 4.8
