      @shirian
      Yeah and that may sound like it's stringent but it's really not. You could have your PC off for 72 minutes a day and that's plenty long enough to reboot for an update or whatever.

      Greetings,

      RAID your drives in case of hard drive failure. I have 6 2TB drives in RAID 5 (10TB Array). Any drive can die and all the data is still in the RAID array. Pop in a new drive and you are good to go.

      @jeffduke3 Make sure you're on the latest version and fully synced. Also copy and paste addresses with no extra spaces. Click receive button on the UI to get another address. These addresses are yours forever.

      @saurabh2885 I'm not familiar with SiaCloud. You can host a website on Sia but it would be very slow and probably expensive. And even then you'd still need a real host to run the node on.

      @levi
      You cannot host if you bring your laptop to multiple location since you will have different ip addresses at different location. Your host uptime should also be more than 98% or else you get penalize. Since you often travel, you cannot achieve such high uptime and you will not earn anything.

      That is correct. My first contract completed. I would be more excited if I saw the money for it! I don't know how to troubleshoot further.

      There are no rules. You can upload anything that you're brave enough to put on the internet. No one can shut down your files without having your SEED. Hosts cannot see or discriminate your content since it is encrypted and only partial files.

      It costs some coins to announce the host.

      Hosting binds a lot of coins for the collateral (which you get back if you behave well).

      Look up the cost & configuration of these two first.

      Did you also activate the renter module? In which case this also charges you coins regularly.

      I think you're misunderstanding the 2-sided nature of Sia. There are host and there are renters. The host are the ones that offer up disk space for OTHERS to store their data on. Renters pay Siacoin to use some of that space. The host puts up collateral to ensure that they will store the data for the entirety of the contact.

      In your situation, you would need to be on the renter side where you store your files on the Sia Network.

      From here, you have 1 option right now and 2 known future options.

      You can currently build your own integration of Sia and basically create your own front end. This is the developer route which is more or less where the entire project is at the moment.

      The first upcoming feature is sharing files to other Sia users. So you could have the people you want to share your files with sign up for Sia and do it that way.

      The other upcoming (long term) feature is sharing files with users outside of Sia. This will be the true blast off moment for the technology where you will see Sia start pulling customers from the major players in the cloud storage industry.

      I hope this helps explain things for you.
