Where is the blockchain explorer link?

Hope to see some mining pool soon, this will enliven the states of miners with low hash power.

Will there be a Sia App for Android? I just purchased the Note 5 and these models no longer have SD card. They all come pre downloaded with Microsoft Onebox and a temp subscription.


Can we make a Sia app so people with no SD cards can expand their phone storage? Also make it cheaper and better than onebox?

very difficult to find blocks. Im stop mining

Devs are working on it.

I'm sure its a matter of getting the horse before the cart, the cart being the SIA funds and their holders. The horse being the working user friendly wallet. Without a fully functioning SIA wallet and user participation, the the SIA funds are pretty much worthless. All in due time.

They have to get the wallet straight, which I have no doubt the devs will do just that. the SIA funds are there and will be the main beneficiaries for that success.

Why not worked http://explore.siacoin.com/ ?

When can we expect release that allows us to SAFELY/USER FRIENDLY  manage the sianotes ?  

Hey Taek, you ever consider doing a cross project/platform with Burstcoin/PoC?

When are siafund holders going to be able to

   1. see their siafunds in the gui
   2. be able to transfer their siafunds
   3. be able to obtain the Sia collected by their siafunds

So far the devs have continued to push this off.

You would think that the devs would be more appreciative to their initial investors and try to provide these basic promised features to them.

Could we please get an update and an ETA on when these features will be released?

Apologies if it's already done, but I think not.

True. Very helpful dev.
Working on a solution. Will post updates as it goes. Thanks!

You should import the wallet using the 'import legacy wallet' button in the GUI. After you import the legacy wallet, you will need to restart 'siad'. Please don't open any version of the software older than 0.3.3.3.


I made a mistake packaging the binary. The fix will be ready soon, we are cleaning up a few other mistakes as well before putting out 0.4.2.


1. Yes. siafiles.com is a site to help facilitate this. A lot of the infrastructure for sharing is still under construction.

2. Not yet, but such a system is planned, and can easily be integrated with the existing protocol. No hardforks or softforks will be needed, just fancier client software.

3. I don't think so. Storj is still in development. They have been rewarding people for offering storage to the network, but do not have downloads working yet.

4. Sia stands for highly efficient free market decentralized cloud storage. 

5. The biggest thing is that the Sia protocol has launched, while the storj protocol is still in test-group-B (from what I last remember). Fundamentally, the goals of the two projects are very similar. Sia has a strong long-term enterprise focus.


I am still working with Pito001 via PM to figure out where the coins went. At this point we're not sure what address they are in, but by using the block explorer and the client's transaction history, we should at least be able to figure that out. Once we know what address the coins have landed in, we can continue to narrow things down.

I didn't send 5M, that's just it.

Balance was about 10M, sent 2.5 to poloniex. Just once. Left the wallet running unlocked. Few hours later checked my balance and only had 2.5. So I lost 5.
All happened after I ('successfully') transfered my balance wallet from 0.3.3 to 0.4.1 At first I had my full balance of a little more than 10M.

Even waited for 0.4.1 GUI to transfer my SC because Teak warned about a bug transferring to 0.4.0 CLI

edit: The wallet again 217f8b8bd4789be41beeffb6e70f0e701723df5bf5d53810122af4bd4fef815b4243d9b31fd5

So did you actually send 5 million coins to Poloniex, and from which wallet version...and then they never appeared? I'm a little confused. And you were able to get a password to work for 0.4.1 as well? I know I have had no luck with it.

EDIT: and have you checked for that 5M transfer in the block explorer?

Make sure you are killing the process SIAD in you task manager. But the wallet really is useless without the password. As far as mining I am still mining on 0.3.3.3 as far as I know it still useable in everyway until we get fixed 0.4.1 released from Taek.

So i do not need a open wallet to mine then?
Dont seem able to do alot wth the GUI  wth the wallet locked.
thanks

I'm still out 5.000.000SC or half my total balance after a single deposit to poloniex. All suggested fixes didn't work.

kept original wallet files, restarted, resync, wait a few blocks, unlock, restart,... (tried in different order)

Wow that definitely lends a lot of support for decentralized storage.

Good vid post

Don't panic, most of us are having that same problem. Taek Is working on a fix for getting the password to display properly when first opening SIA. I am waiting for the release with fix as well. 

Anyone able to help please?
I have installed the GUI clent.
Copied my passphrase, could not close the box showng me the passphrase so had to close the GUI.
Upon re openng the GUI, my wallet is locked.  The passphrase  recorded does not unlock it.

I have deleted all files and started over with the same issue.
What am i doing wrong?
