  You can transfer, as long as you copy all the relevant files and the host storage is at the exact same location (same path).

  If it's just about the money you can make for you this year, then maybe there are other activities better suited for you than hosting files on Sia. Sia has a long term roadmap and objectives, and they differ from StorJ's. Many of us are here because we believe in Sia's roadmap, not because it's the most economical way to to make a quick buck in 2017.

  Why is hosting a min of 12 weeks?

  @endercase No because the renter has to pay all these fees to you for 1 day? He may not even get half his data uploaded in 1 day. A one day host could exploit renters too easily.

  The reason I wrote "it could be risky" is that I had some unexplained error messages in the host.log saying about "missed storage proof".
  No one has answered how such errors could show up, if I haven't deleted ar otherwise lost any files from my host.
  But as my collateral is not lost (shows 0H) I think (hope) these errors are not real.

  The last one was on 14th july, and as my collateral is still not touched I think I can just ignore these

  Your host needs to build up reputation. Siahub has some good info on how to build up reputation https://siahub.readme.io/docs/host-scorerank. You get a lot of reputation from uptime, so just keeping your host running will probably result in some contracts sooner or later.

  AFAIK this is hardcoded today, and making it configurable is not on the roadmap anytime soon. Why would you need more? They say it's like 99.99999% or more (it's in their papers somewhere).

  Also did you check these links? https://forum.sia.tech/topic/1514/redundancy-fault-tolerance

  @bryan
  Just checked, my version (Windows 10 home) has no checkbox for enabling or disabling.
  At work there are Windows 10 Pro, which have that option and even automatic updates are disabled by default.
  Makes sense as that is "domain controlled" and could stop the whole company if something incompatible gets installed by the autoupdate.

  Thanks, I'd seen the basics of that in the hosting handbook but I didn't realize the small space I am prototyping with had such a severe (512x) penalty. It's unlikely I'll get a contract with that. I was expecting no more than a 20x penalty.

  I'll give it a week of 100% up time to reduce that penalty also, and have a look at spoofing a bit more storage after that to get testing underway.

  I wouldn't have thought of faking the extra.

  Thank you for the input. Today I started getting some data used. Took about 7 days for anything to start. I will monitor the other stats and see if anything else shows up.

  @sifer - I agree. Also as long as there is no real demand for storage in the SIA network where we have for very long time only seen a 2% utilization there is no real market price, I think - what is needed and what we also see to emerge is 3rd party solutions that can make the consumption of the space less nerdy.

  Also, if SIA at any time will move to the corporate market I can't see how a pricing model can be made that does not fluctuate wildy to any fiat currency du to the speculative nature of any crypotcurrency. Corporate world is not going to adapt SIA coins as their base currency :-/

  @xurious said in Minebox and the race to the bottom:

  Minebox is using HP Microservers

  I never provided misinformation...

  I stated very clearly that MINEBOX is not HP. Its not. Just because "Minebox is using HP Microservers" does not make them HP.
  If anyone reads the Terms and Conditions of the purchase. you will quickly realize this. Reading is fundamental.. stop listening to this Sia scam team for the TRUTH.

  The provider offering the Product is Minebox IT Services GmbH, Hoebersbachstrasse, 3003 Gablitz, Austria

  @influx
  A bit brainstorming from my side:
  Could it be possible that your ISP has decided you are "malicious user" participating in "torrent networks" and thus closed your ports used for Sia on their router? Though, then these ports could not be accessible from http://canyouseeme.org/ .

  Can you find your host on SiaHub if you change the host list from "active hosts" to "all hosts"? Maybe your external IP has changed and does not correspond to the announced one (visible in the parameters on SiaHub)?

  Hi!

  This was getting me on my nerves, but I finally found out how to resolve the "host unreachable" warning.

  Create a static IP for your PC. On network settings, go find your Network and change from obtain IP automatically to Use following IP address. You can find plenty turorials on google about this.

  Create a static IP for your router (if not static yet. If you restart your PC and IP changes you have to make it static) search for NoIp (https://www.noip.com/) on google and follow the steps to have a free IP domain. Download the app of NoIp and keep it running on your PC.

  Most of the times your PC clock is not well synchronized with real time, so there are "delays" on time, you can use "NetTime" (http://timesynctool.com/) and set it up with your nearest geographical Time Pool (http://www.pool.ntp.org/es/).

  Forwards ports 9981 and 9982 to your Static PC IP (both TCP and UDP), your network provider can help you with that or look for help here: https://portforward.com/

  Create rules on your firewall to the same ports for both Outbound and Inbound rules, same as step 4 on TCP and UDP.

  I was trying hard to make this work, I use Storj too and It worked like charm but then I had to upload it and follow the instructions on their website (https://docs.storj.io/docs/storj-share-gui).

  First I just forwarded the ports and It keept showing the "Host unreachable" warning but I think installing NoIp and NetTime, made it work. Now I got 19 contracts and it haven't failed yet. The only concern I got is that sometimes Sia debit me some coins, maybe because of the contracts.

  I'm new to this and I'm not a tech savvy I'm a designer, I just tried and tried to make it work, I believe in Siacoin and the blockchain. But as a personal advice, SiaCoin need an excellent UX designer to make it work as it should, so that everyone without special knowledge can use the network. You can Hire me ;)

  Siacoin keep going, but help people that want to use your network, make it massive!!!

  PS: Sorry for my English

  @yogevba With the gouged prices of the 1080s(500$+) it would take you 10 months to profit. and no it is not linear. There is constant fluctuation and the longer you mine the less profit you get. If you could find a way to get 1080s for super cheap you'd be good.

  I think the data was uploaded before the host updated its price. The Sia renter would never pick a host with that price. And once a contract has been formed the price stays the same for that contract.
