nice work on sia, but when will the next GUI wallet be released? Also when is the desktop integration like dropbox coming out?

We are taking the (copious amount of) feedback we've received into account and working on the next release around the clock. We hope to have it out by the end of the week.

Desktop integration is probably a long ways off. First and foremost, the platform needs to stabilize a bit, more hosts need to join, etc. Furthermore, desktop integration is not a simple task; on Mac/Linux, we'd probably use FUSE, and on Windows we might look at file system events to trigger uploads/downloads. I haven't worked out the details yet because we've had more pressing concerns.

Hmm. It's possible that you need to open the port on your firewall as well. Failing that, the only thing I can think of that would prevent connectivity is that the timeout for the test is only 1 second. If your latency is so high that it's taking more than a full second to ping yourself, you may see the "cannot announce" error.
I will extend the timeout in the next release. In the meantime, I can create a special win64 binary with an extended timeout. Let me know if you're willing to test the fix.

Ho, forget to tell, I also tried with firewall off and I still get the error. So firewall is not the cause.

I would test the fix.

ok, I changed the timeout to 20 seconds. Please test this binary (wait for the full 20 seconds) and let me know if the problem persists: www.siacoin.com/dist/Sia-HostTest-win64.zip
If you are using the UI, you will need to replace the copy of siad in your Sia-UI/Sia folder with the one in this binary. Alternatively, you can test it from the command line with "siac host announce".

Guys this is so much fun!
My 280x is hashing at 670 Mh/s, I think I can go past 1 GH/s :-)

Not even whirlpoolx was so rewarding!

Would really appreciate it if you could share your settings. I am hashing with only about 100-112 Mh/s with my 280x

Modified miner and mostly rewritten opencl code. Still a work in progress. Power use is almost doubled.

Are you planning on sharing that at all? We'd all appreciate it.

Awesome, you should see around 100-110 MH+ if mining properly with a 290

But how to mine properly? No config, no intencity, no thread concurrency.... Undecided

And you are lucky if GPU miner at least can start on your PC...

I guess the only way is by tweaking the .cl in the miner dir or using a modified miner. I use this one: http://pastebin.com/6ks9BQAp 280x -> 110 Mh/s

In order to become a host, peers need to be able to connect to you on your host port. If you're behind NAT (and most of you are), you need to set up port forwarding on your router. Most routers have a web interface available at 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 where you can configure port forwarding. There are lots of guides for how to do this, e.g. www.portforward.com.

You can use this site to test your connectivity: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports
Enter your host port (default is 9982) and hit "Check." If it says that the port is closed, you cannot become a host until it's open.

Port forwarding is a pain and it would be nice if you didn't have to do it. This is where technologies like UPnP and NAT-PMP come in: they automatically forward your ports so you don't have to monkey around in your router settings. We are working to add UPnP to an upcoming release, but we don't have a precise ETA yet.

Why do I also get this annouce error? But both port 9981 and 9982 on my computer are correctly forward and pass the test of that webpage. Any possible reasons? Thanks for helping.

I have had the problem that the gpu-miner crashes every now and then so I made a short .bat to restart the miner every 20 minutes. Just save as .bat file with notepad and put it in you miner directory.

Code:

:loop                              
start sia-gpu-miner.exe
timeout /t 1200 >null               
taskkill /f /im "sia-gpu-miner.exe" >nul   
timeout /t 7 >null                  
goto loop

Thanx a lot! My miner also crashes after 10 or 20 minutes...

How much is 596.6KS ? Is that 596,600Sia ?
I don't know what about you but I have stopped mining cause of the current slow rate..

yes

I'm getting this error when setting up space to lease on hosting tab of 0.3.3:

Error calling /host/announce : host address not reachable; ensure you have forwarded port 9982

Think we all are seeing that for the most part. I think the dev mentioned a fix for that coming, somewhere in the thread lol

Is there a mining pool for this?!? Huh

No all solo for now. I am wanting to try setting up p2pool somehow, but need to do a lot more homework on that. I have radius IP and the server, just not sure of the details. still grasping this coin Huh

Finally got my miner started but my screen went black after a couple of minutes.My R9 290 was showing "Mining with 49.000 Kh/s. Mined 0 block"

Awesome, you should see around 100-110 MH+ if mining properly with a 290

Thanks.
Are you using bat file?

No, there is no bat file to create that I am aware of. Use the stock SIA GPU miner software for now. I am still looking through my old Blakecoin miners to see if any of those algo's would mine this coin? haven't got that far yet today. To many other issues to address lol

FYI, so far over the last 1.5 hours I have mined 4 blocks with a combined rigs hashrate of 350 MH

This after having to reinstall 3 of 4 wallets that did not sync properly last night.

Block finding seems to have gotten a lot more difficult. I know dev said difficulty will take time to re adjust. See how it goes.

All I know is these coins better carry a hefty value if and when they ever hit a market lol sucking up some electricity today, and its hot out in my shed!! Grin
