can someone in a few sentences say why this is a great coin?

I would like to know as well.

Because it will change the world.

For more details, read the entire thread like the rest of us. its only 88 pages, I am sure you can skim trough most of it

the coin itself is not what the project is all about ... and in that sense - the 'coin' is not very special ...

the coin itself is just a system of payment for the what the project IS actually trying to achieve ... and that is a decentralized and readily available cheap GLOBAL storage system ...

the coin itself doesnt hold the value or the interest for most here at sia ... the storage potential does ...

it can be used functionally and systematically as 'just' a decentralized storage system - or as a solid foundation and backend to other projects ...

as suggested - look around and read ... enlighten yourself to a system that is actually FUNCTIONING right here and now ... not just on paper - like other projects out there ...

taek and team are doing a great job so far ...

Looks like all deposits and withdrawals on poloniex are broken right now. I have sent them an email, not sure if they work weekends though. We'll be addressing the issue asap

Taek,
Yes I do believe something is wrong on their end. Also a weird time withdrawing BTC from Poloniex earlier, got an "oops message" when confirming withdraw but it did withdraw to my BTC wallet anyways.

THX!

EDIT: Finally my deposit from 8 hours ago have posted on Poloniex! Going to try sending more know  Grin

Well sure it is.

Then I'm not sure.

Did you wait 144 blocks, and are you certain that the given address is in  the wallet? How do you know that the address is in the wallet?

I have 2 wallet.dat files (on 2 pcs) with total of ~2.25m sia which havent been moved from the addresses that the client see (in wallet tab)

but the client shows 0 balance on both, how do I get those sia out ?

here is one of the addresses - a7ebfbf2dab4ab9255aba6846c6b504edf0a6f6990417c9ee8de5fe1b86e77c6c06bd219f671

Said it here... the UI shows the addresses.

What do mean by caught up ?

Is your block height the same as the block height reported by the block explorer?

Well sure it is.

Is your 'siad' all caught up? Also, did you try restarting the 'said'? The coins should appear in the wallet after you restart it, I'm not sure why they aren't currently appearing in the wallet.

You are always telling me to restart...  What do mean by caught up ?

I started using the command line instead the UI to try an get some more info and control but that didn't help much.. started merging wallets to see if I get anything..
currently getting

Wallet status:

All all right. but if I have 2 addresses in a backup seed with some funds on. how to send/chosse to send from on of them??

Or for now better to have 5 different wallet.jsons and wait for more commands..

There's not a way to choose which address you send from. What is the use case for doing so?

Generally you should distinguish who is sending money by giving them a unique address to send to.


It would be sweet to have GUI with local cmd in it "or something like that"...  if there is action "command" in GUI it would show command being typed out in cmd, and vice versa.. some action "command" typed in cmd would be executed in GUI

Talking as windows user at the moment

That sounds like a good plugin to write for the UI. I don't think it would be very difficult to write either.

Is anyone else having problems with sending Sia coins to Poloniex this morning? I have sent 2 small amounts, neither have yet to post. Its been about 30 minutes or more. I have been sending with no issues the previous 3 days. Everything appears normal from this side with wallet etc. Maybe slow at Poloniex's end?

How many sia has each siafund received to date?

you can see in the block explorer how much SIA has been spent on the file contracts total which if I remember was like only few hundred SIA in total so far so they have received practically nothing and won't start receiving until mass adoption of file contracts begins.

Taek I request you add this mentioned block explorer to the ANN post, b/c my idiot self cannot find it for the life of me.

Either way, a few hundred is pretty neat.

To think, I've done literally nothing, only to come back and find that I now have a few hundred more Sia over a month or two without even having to buy them. Neat.

http://explore.siacoin.com/

I remember wrong actually the total spent on file contracts is ~42000 SIA so if you would own 1% of SIAFUNDS and the reward for SIAFUND holders is 3,9% of all file contracts you would have earned up to date about 16~ SIAcoins with your 1% holdings of SIAFUNDS... as far as I understand... so about 1600SIA have been rewarded in total to all Siafund holders. Considering block reward is 280kSIA from mining that is very puny amount.

LOL you crazy nuts rented out 96 GB of totally unregulated storage for .0002 USD / GB? Come ooooon it's gotta be a little more than that.

Like, 100x more.

Nope. We are in early stages all storage rented out have been for testing purphoses. Market will set the correct price eventually when file contracts start mass adpotion.
Each user only needs 1 set of file contracts to cover all of their files. A set, in the network at scale, will be somewhere between 50 and 200 file contracts. This will fit as many files as they need, 100,000,000 2kb files can fit inside of a single set of 200 file contracts.

how do I command list all addresses in .json? while I created one more
 did write them down so two of them are in seed/json.

Right now there is no way to list the set of addresses that the wallet has given you before. The wallet.json file generates all addresses from a seed, so when you request a new one it just gets the next one from the seed. In general, address reuse is discouraged. Whenever you need to give someone an address, you should just generate a new one.

In 0.4.0 you don't even need to back up the wallet after generating new addresses. Because everything is generated from a seed, backing up a wallet the first time  will also back up all future addresses.

Check this page out for more information:

Very sweet.
I saw here.yes
Code:
Addresses Remaining 2498
so all I need is
Sia Wallet Encrypted Backup Seed
and
wallet.json
and password-seeds-words

All all right. but if I have 2 addresses in a backup seed with some funds on. how to send/chosse to send from on of them??

Or for now better to have 5 different wallet.jsons and wait for more commands..
