Are miners leaving?

Interval between blocks a few days ago was 10-15 min.

Here are timestamps of last 5 blocks
18131 Sep 22, 2015 at 3:35pm (UTC)
18132 Sep 22, 2015 at 4:35pm (UTC)
18133 Sep 22, 2015 at 5:10pm (UTC)
18134 Sep 22, 2015 at 4:28pm (UTC)
18135 Sep 22, 2015 at 5:59pm (UTC)

Was block 18133 mined before 18134 and 18132? Is that even possible?

Intervals between blocks (ignoring 18134) is now > 1 hour.

Last block was mined > 2 1/2 hours ago.

What's going on?

Very interesting observation Huh

like you said is it even possible..... strange to see that lol

the difficulty is high

Combined with a decreasing hash rate:

Hash rate (last 1000 blocks)   343.893958 GH/s
Hash rate (last 100 blocks)   183.919383 GH/s
Hash rate (last 25 blocks)   129.552348 GH/s

Will the difficulty be automatically reduced to take this into account? After all, we still want 10 min blocks. I had to wait ~3 hours for my funds to arrive into my wallet.

Absolutely true!
Besides the use of version 0.4.2 damaged database, in my case and lost coins! I had 843000 SIA, consensus folder are damaged, delete the file, I restart to upgrade database and coins were already 566304! Where are the coins excavated from the last block Huh

I use GUI version wallet 0.3.3.3. and now I have no problems, lost data or coins! Version 0.3.3.3 is super!
Hopefully soon to fix all the problems in version 0.4.2! Good luck with the project!

Which files did you delete? The coins were probably there, just buried a few addresses deep.

The only one file I deleted was set.db into folder \.........\Sia-UI-v0.4.2-beta-win64\resources\app\Sia\consensus

I have no idea what to do to recover the coins. The problem is that the loss of coins happens to me every time the database is damaged! The problem also occurs on the third computer that has installed wallet! I would be very glad if you can help your coins back.
Thanks for the help!

Give the link on GUI version of wallet 0.3.3.3 for Windows x64.

All releases can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia/releases

Thanks. I already watched this link. I need GUI version of wallet 0.3.3.3 for Windows x64. There it isn't present.

Why do you not want to use 0.4.2? I know there are some usability issues, but 0.3.3.3 has some coin-destroying risks.

You can grab it here: http://pixeldra.in/u/C816oI

But I would recommend against it.

Thanks for the link.
After closing of wallet 0.4.2 files from the consensus folder are damaged.

I guess all of this is up for discussion and opinions....you have some valid points also. Lets put it this way, of all the cloud storage hosting's offered out there, I would trust Sia more then the rest in terms of keeping my identity and files secured Wink

Don't give us too much faith until we're out of beta Tongue

Some of the algorithms still need improvement.

lol Taek, I hear ya! I have full confidence in the project and your talents just the same Wink

Question:
In the Sia-UI, under Files - > New File there is the option ".sia file"

What is the format of this file? Is it documented anywhere?

I can also see a point in time where company's/individuals would be willing to pay even more for SIA services because of its anonymity.

Can you elaborate on how SIA (or: Sia?) provides anonymity to hosters and/or renters?
What I understand of SIA thus far is that hosted files are split and encrypted. But this is not the same as anonymity.

Well the way I understand it is that an individual file upload will be split into pieces of data amongst 6 or 8 storage host somewhere in the world. The only way to see that file in a complete useful way is through the up loaders wallet. There is no way to actually view a file on any one storage host. (as its in a piece of the data) So that's really close to being anonymous I would think.

I think I misunderstood what you meant by anonymity. To me, anonymity implies that ones identity is hidden. You refer to the contents of files. The content of files are impossible to read, assuming the Sia devs implemented the cryptography correctly... So, your files are safe and readable only by you, no doubt.

However, your identity is not necessarily a secret. Your activity on the network is public on the Sia blockchain, and your IP address is known by all participating nodes. Thus, a nefarious 3rd party could operate 'honey pot' hosts in order to track uploaders. So, I don't think you can expect to remain anonymous on the Sia network, i.e. in the sense that your identity is protected. It remains to be seen, whether someone could go from an IP address to proving that you have uploaded a particular file. I mentioned comparison of the Merkel root hash in my other reply to you as one possibility. File size is another possibility, although that would not be definite proof. Both of these possibilities assume the tracker already has an identical copy of your file (e.g. which may be the case if you are uploading copyrighted content).

I guess all of this is up for discussion and opinions....you have some valid points also. Lets put it this way, of all the cloud storage hosting's offered out there, I would trust Sia more then the rest in terms of keeping my identity and files secured Wink

To be continued .....

its a good topic for discussion...

Hi guys! I wanted to congratulate you for the work you're doing!

Much more people than you think is aware of Sia, the inner circles of investors have a lot of faith in this project. I don't lie, lots of investors trust in you for the long term, and that's very difficult to achieve in these jungles.

Keep working with the same ambition and you'll can retire in a few years man! We trust in you. Wink

Thanks, we appreciate the encouragement.
