Topic: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage - page 417. (Read 1382227 times)
Hashrate seems to be spiking again we are closing 1 TH/s. Is the pool up and running already? haven't found block in a while solomining...
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.
Oh right, OFC market dictates the price
It's pretty cheap though, a pretty good price for anyone looking for file hosting.
How, exactly, do I host a file though?
At this point hosting can be a little annoying you have to play with your port forwarding and firewall settings to get it work (instructions can be found somewhere earlier in this thread), but there is a solution coming very soon where hosting is also made very easy for everyone Taek wrote about it you should find that also earlier in this thread.

what a nice surprise !
this is very good ...
now for a few other things to surface - like the pool - and we will all be on our way ...
awesome work so far taek and team ...

what a nice surprise !
Hey guys, sorry for the let-down, but the new wallet is going to need another week. Here's a list of what's going to be available:
1. Erasure coding! All files are now uploaded to 12 hosts, and the full file can be recovered from any 2 hosts. The redundancy overhead is 6 (compared to the previous redundancy overhead of 8 ). 6 is still very high, twice the industry average. We're doing this because we don't want anyone losing their files, and we still feel that the network is in an early stage. As the network matures, we will continue to reduce the amount of redundancy overhead.
2. Parallel downloads, smarter uploads! Previously, files were downloaded from a single host, and speeds were limited to that host's upload bandwidth. Now, downloads are done in parallel.
3. Encrypted wallet! Previously, the wallet secret keys were kept unencrypted on disk. The keys are now encrypted on disk, and the wallet can be locked and unlocked to enable spending. When the wallet is unlocked, the keys are kept decrypted in memory. When the wallet is locked again, the memory gets wiped.
4. Wallet recovery seeds. All new addresses are now made from a single seed, which means that, as long as you have the seed, you can recover your addresses if you lose your wallet. Note that previously existing wallet addresses cannot be regenerated by a seed. If you want to enjoy the full protection of wallet seeds, you are going to need to send all of your coins to a seed-generated address.
5. Increased wallet safety. Previously, people had been losing coins because the wallet would sometimes get confused and obliterate addresses it had previously sent money to. This only happened when multiple instances of siad were running, or if the user started moving files around without closing siad first. But it still happened sometimes, and coins were lost as a result. Now, the wallet will never overwrite an existing file, and will never destroy addresses that have been saved to disk. The wallet will never give an address that isn't already saved to disk. Upgrading siad no longer puts your coins at risk.
5. Full wallet API, which means that Sia is now ready to be put on an exchange!
6. Siad uses a databse. Previously, the whole blockchain and output set was kept in memory. It has now been moved to disk. Siad's memory footprint is now around 40mb on Linux. Moving everything to disk made siad slower, but there are some pretty clear avenues to improve speeds. On an HDD (SSDs will be faster), it took me about 90 minutes to download the first 13,000 blocks.
7. Increased max filesize. The maximum filesize allowed by the client has been increased to 5GB. This is because of the more intelligent uploading and downloading algorithms, and the more intelligent host protocols.
8. Refreshed UI. While the UI looks very similar to how it did previously, the architecture has been completely re-written. Most importantly, strong plugin support has been added, which makes it easy for developers to write their own plugins for the UI that use Siad or even talk to other daemons. People who have been excited about things like a Sia-based video streaming now have a platform on which to build such a thing.
I think that covers all of the major changes that will be available in the next release. There have also been a handful of bugfixes that are being released. We are planning on adding support for tracking and uploading folders in 0.4.1, which should be released a week or two after 0.4.0.
Thanks for hanging tight.
As a reminder, everything that we've written to date is open source. The code for Siad can be found here: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia
The related projects and libraries that we've built (such as the UI) can be found here: https://github.com/NebulousLabs

Excellent progress team!! Getting really excited here
So #8 With the release of version 0.4.0 it is possible to build a youtube style service? 5GB max filesize for the time being is really enough for all youtube content even 4K this is really awesome!
Perhaps we the community should setup a bounty for such an app? Surely we can get enough donations for a nice bounty for someone to code that and your team to review and approve it? Taek how much you estimate roughly in days would it take someone to code that?
I've deleted the 32 version and got the 64, working fine now.
I've installed 32 version and everything seems fine. I try to send siacoin from poloniex to my wallet....failed. I tried to create address, again...fail. Now I'm stuck with thousands of Siacoins on polo that should be in the wallet....
You really want to be using 0.3.3.3

Noticed this coin through the trading volume on Poloniex
Made me a bit curious on the idea will keep watching.

does this mine on windows?
sorry im a bit busy with stuff but u got my interest which is good already
sorry im a bit busy with stuff but u got my interest which is good already
Yes, you can mine with windows. I recommend using the 1.0.2 miner on their github.

Thank you. If I understand correctly, there are 4,299,109,295 total SC in existence with about 285,000 new SC mined each block. At a price of 25 satoshis, this gives us about a $250,000 USD market cap! watch out below
there's no max.
Each block is worth 300,000 minus current block #.
It hits the floor at 30,000 so every block after block # 270,000 is worth 30,000
