It is on the rate of 5 SC /GB / month

Hey that's great news to hear!! I may fire back up my Hoster' lol that's a start.

Thanks for reporting that. You are the first I am aware of seeing a contract 

Are you still at 1 SC/GB/month?

Wow things sure have died down in here. Guess like me we all are waiting for the next version release. 

Showing 34 Host. One day soon this needs to show 34,000 and up!

Keep it moving devs. It is working! 

Ive got my first contract 450MB only , but now I'm certain my host is ONline...

Here you go:

Can someone give me an ascii file for testing.

In the renter tab, there's a button 'add ascii file'. Paste the text on the pastebin into that to get my files:

These are some videos that have brought me amusement of some kind. First is some weird animated story. Second and third are small lectures by Richard Feynman. Fourth is a psychedelic music video.

We're building a platform called 'Sunfish' which will make sharing and tagging files a lot easier. The early version of that will be ready in July.

Interesting. Does it submit the block?

Whats the hashrate for GTX 960,970,980 and GTX750ti with KlausT GPU miner?
Maybe someone did the comparison?

If you want a stable miner for your AMD card that reports accurately use the one Wolf0 posted. Just be sure to replace the .cl file like he instructs:

Chances are it will take weeks to find a block with your hashrate though.

Can't do it, that would almost certainly violate the paypal TOS, and even if it didn't it would probably violate money laundering laws. We can't help people go from usd to crypto. There are too many very-high-barrier regulations.

Down the line though, we should be legally able to help people go btc<->siacoin. Some hosts/nodes will have both btc and siacoin and will serve as market makers, you can then use payment channels to trade with them. That's a long way down the line.

Like any major new technology, there are going to be barriers to entry and it's going to take time to bridge them. It's something that's heavily on our minds, but it doesn't matter how easy it is to get siacoins if the storage platform isn't very useful (if say, you're limited to 500mb files and can only upload 1 file at a time). So our biggest focus is making something that people will want to use. If it's worth the pain of getting siacoins, then that says great things about the platform and its future. The barriers to crypto are slowly being removed (Coinbase just announced an instant exchange platform, for example), and everyone benefits from that.

We'll be doing our part in the coming months, but our immediate goal is to make the storage platform better. Without a worthwhile storage platform, we're just another altcoin.

Cool Msin, I've never seen that one before. And yeah, need to be on an exchange

Contact Shapeshift, that would be a really easy way for people to get Sia without registering for an account.  Of course, you will probably need to be on an exchange before they would implement.
