Yes, we're sorry about that. Wallet is stored in the roaming directory, this is something we're going to change for the next release. The next release is probably 3-6 weeks away, and should be a lot smoother.

This is the first time we've ever released production code, we're learning on our feet. Thanks for bearing with us. Having a strong, not-buggy product is important to us and we've dropped the ball.


The next release is going to have checksums appended to the wallet. Stupid typos will have a 1-in-a-trillion chance of going unnoticed.


v0.3.2 (btw guys, it's not 3.2, it's 0.3.2) is testnet. Those coins won't appear in v0.3.3 or v0.3.3.1 because both of those releases are mainnet only. Even if you were using v0.3.2 after the release, you were only mining testnet coins.



There are no pools yet  , but if you're okay leaving it on for a week you should get a block or two. The hashrate on the network is really high at this point though.


Can you post that to Github? It'll be easier for us to find later if it's on our issue tracker instead of on page 41/? of a forum thread.


This is the best we've got, it doesn't seem to work for everybody: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-GPU-Miner/releases/tag/v1.0.1

We've got a guy working on it part-time but we're mostly out of our element.  We are accepting pull requests though if you know how to make things better. We're working on it.


I do feel responsible for the confusion. Having a wallet in a roaming directory was (in hindsight) a bad idea. The next release will have a stable directory, and there will be a place in the UI that tells you where the wallet.dat file is (along with all your other files). The next release is probably going to be 3-6 weeks.


We were talking with an exchange but our wallet api is incomplete for their needs. When we roll out the next release it will include an expanded api that will be usable by exchanges. I'm putting an eta of 8 weeks on making an exchange. If things go well, it could be as soon as 4. I doubt it will be faster than that though.

Hello,

Can someone please help me.
I would like to start mining Sia but I'm having trouble.

Is there a simple way to just download a file and click & mine (where can I find it)?
I'm having a lot of trouble.

Thanks,
R

David has already done this on slack but I would like to be the first to share a file on bitcointalk.

Go to this pastebin and copy to clipboard the long azz string of characters. Go to your Sia client and
go to the Files tab. Now click on "Add Ascii file". Now paste (ctrl v) this sucka and click add file.

This file which I've uploaded to the Sia network is now yours to download and enjoy.
It is just a jpeg and if you've seen me around it won't surprise you as to what my favorite
movie or movies are.

I didn't just paste it here because it is like 10 million characters long and I was afraid a mod would delete it.

But you mined them on 3.2 according to your posts. Bottom line, it is impossible for a wallet file not to work on any of the Sia
versions unless it was testnet.

Coins were mined after launch (6/8-6/10).

Holy cow are you trying to force testnet mined coins into mainnet? Sia launched on June 7. Were you mining before that?
Did you dl the latest Sia on June 7 or did you keep your previous folder? I'm pretty sure like Luke said 3.2 is testnet.
Brother let it go. You have 12 millions coins made of play dough.

For those confused about updating versions and what not Sia is not an install. The folder you unzipped to is your install directory.
For instance I have a Sia folder in my C: directory and I have one on my desktop. They are 2 completely different wallets.
When you update to a new Sia version all you should be doing is unzipping the new version to wherever you want, make backup
copies of the wallet.dat in your old folder and shove them to the new folder. Wallet.dat is in resources/app/Sia/wallet.

You people should be used to revering and protecting your wallet.dat files cuz they are your coins.
So no matter what you do playing with your roaming folders and moving and deleting folders if you backup all your wallet files
you will never lose your coins.

Im now doing 50mh on my 280x instead of 100mh on the old miner.

Since that didn't work, how about we get a new wallet that can read the prior version wallet files?

Thanks didnt know that!

Pondsea, I think you need to update your wallet to 0.3.3.1

I keep getting this error when i run it.

curl did not receive correct bytes (got zu, expected 112)

Is this the new gui miner Taek was talking about?

Hello,

I have the error message
Initializing...failed to get Device IDs: -1

I have two nvidia card and i believe the error is due to this :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24200539/cant-get-my-graphics-card-device-in-opencl

The code in this miner is :
// Get Platform/Device Information
   ret = clGetPlatformIDs(1, &platform_id, &ret_num_platforms);
   if (ret != CL_SUCCESS) { printf("failed to get platform IDs: %d\n", ret); exit(1); }
   ret = clGetDeviceIDs(platform_id, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, 1, &device_id, &ret_num_devices);
   if (ret != CL_SUCCESS) { printf("failed to get Device IDs: %d\n", ret); exit(1); }

If I read correctly, this means the opencl platform is supposed to be 1, but it can be another number.
according to the :
for(int i=0; i    if(clGetDeviceIDs(&platform_id, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU, 1, &device_id, &num_of_devices) == CL_SUCCESS){
      
I am on windows now and compiling the miner seems rather complicated.
So if the personne in charge of this miner can try to correct this, I will be grateful...

Only 76-77Mh for 7970/280x (memory on 1500MHz) and nearly 85-90 for r9 290, old miner was 50-60% faster... 

selling 30m for 3btc - send me a private message if your interested

(we have more than 50% of the talk about mining and dont have a mining thread and trading posts are not that many, so why not just have all in here)

Yes, we can adjust the iterations and what not. So they changed default to 1 iteration every 10 seconds? Kinda confused as to what you are saying. But if so, what was the setting you had it at originally? My tweaks or improve it from 36 to 40 MH/s while the old miner was 72 Mh/s. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Thx, but can you tell me how to increase intensity in this miner ?

THX will check that out

Exactly which GPU miner are you using? post a DL link if possible  I'm on W7 64

Ya who knows how long it will take them.  They may actually have to put in new code to add this I imagine as it is not your standard clone so same exact withdraw/deposit methods may not work.  The new miner works well for me but as it is more stable it seems to be running my gpu's more consistently which is good but on this hot summer day they almost be overheating!  Wish there were some controls at least a max temp command to shut down work.

For fun and giggles I tried this miner DL out, it just sits and spins with half the MH showing at best. Says initializing at the very top.
back to the old miner
