  @maol said in Raspbian (Debian with ARM cpu) and SIA:

  @saljut7 that's not quite what he said. Long term, it will be very feasible to run Sia on low cost / low end hardware.

  Thx. So I'm looking forward. :)

  @lforet This project in my opinion is far too young to try a petabyte. You'd risk far too many coins doing that. Even then there is only 3 petabytes on the network available. At the current speeds I'm seeing it would probably take over a month to upload a petabyte. And you'd have to factor in the file limit which I think is 20 files at a time? Though if your income is disposable I'd love to see you make the attempt. It would really boost the SIACOIN economy.

  Ouch... SIA coin is taking a grand dive - perhaps one should go in now?

  And we all know that this couple of months long hype was not related to Sia development progress (there were no news from developers). The rise 10x was illogical and not sustainable yet...
  I don't know (I doubt) if this is the BTC bubble bursting now, but I think the BTC price is not sustainable too.
  If BTC continues to drop, people will try to jump out of cryptocurrencies, so every coin needs to be exchanged to BTC first to get fiat as most of "crypto-holders" are not interested in or do not understand the future development and real blockchain usecases but think mainly of get rich quick schemes.
  I wonder how long will it take for the new hosters to realise Sia is not a "get money for free" scheme. The first disappointment should rise soon when people sharing their 10TB and more drives get less than 10SC a month for it as the space on their harddrives is really locked/used (and unavailable for the hosters use) but not rented because there is not enough demand.

  As I understand it, this isn't really a problem for the client as the contracts are all paid in advance. The risks/rewards of price volatility are exposed to the renter when they receive their payments and at the end of the contract when their collateral is returned. What you sold for $2/TB today might be worth 0.50c/TB or $5/TB when you receive your collateral back and can cash your coins in.

  @jhip626 pool. You'll get your shares everyday. Unless you have like 300 gpus then definitely solo.

  @torreslabs
  I'm not sure if I imagine your intentions right. So here are just some thoughts.

  I did not figure out how to "connect" the UI part of Sia-UI to other than local node. I just hadn't enough time to experiment. From what I've seen, it should be possible. It would be difficult to separate the files by users. Every user could see all the uploaded files. I haven't tried it yet, but the description of Sia integration with nextcloud looks promising (Nextcloud as UI for Sia). As you will be operating one wallet, you'll have difficulties to track and divide the spent SC between the users...

  @badbeatnuts
  I will reply a bit with what I know.

  Installation with any blockchain takes quite a bit of time because your downloading every transaction into your walelt to be able to carry transactions. This is normal Buying Sia Coin is via exchange as it is a token not a currency. Sia is just a token to secure transactions within the service network. Sia ensures 3 x redundancy on the network by encrypting files and then sharding them to other hosts so no 1 single host contains the entire file. Sia doesnt have to worry about the overhead of centralized data storage- this is a benefit of decentralization..and also lowers cost rather than increases costs to renters/customers Large businesses do not necessarily have to be involved with crypto forit to be successful, but there are some who have already seen beenfit in the crypto arena and Sia.
  Check out Obelisk and also MINEBOX. Dedicated industry leaders that are building tools for using in Sia Network. You would be surprised. Data storage currently is a multi billion dollar industry. If money can be saved people will seek Sia.

  Hello ,

  I just synced my wallet 74923e72a63bf60d2eaf6eb1c070a17eac7d43029ac2a4a8eaccbd32391dee9df05a4d9248cd and I do not see any of my coins or transactions in my wallet? Please advise what I can do to correct this? When I initially purchased my coins I sent them to wallet and it was there but I had not synced for quite sometime and synced the wallet because I purchased more and now I cannot seem to see any coins in my wallet. Please advise if I need to do something else or what is happening and how to take corrective action to get my coins back.
