  @Kenzu I don't recommend moving coins right now beside a lot of exchanges like poloniex and bittrex are losing people's coins. So basically if you're not going to host or purchase hosting, there is no real reason to move it.

  Contract Fees Paid to Hosts with incorrect ports?

  @lasat
  We can only speak of the things we know about. My point is- there is NO WAY (currently) for a renter to avoid a host offering 0 space. The contracts are auto formed with no visuals by the buyer (at moment). I noticed this issue when I went to look at the contracts the system had bought for me. Now, if there is a way for me to select what I buy- fill me in. But there is not.

  No offense... Reading on Sia is one thing- actually doing it is another. Most documentation is dated.. so I am speaking as of 6-16-2017. When a person buys contracts there are hosts with 0 space being offered..yet SC is being spent. This is despite them showing available space on SiaHub. Yes, funds should come back, but efficiency of logic states those hosts shouldnt be able to even be in the buying process if there are not available to share the space that they have advertised. The only common denominator I have seen in the renter file is these type of hosts have different ports listed- which is odd. MMaybe this isnt the case 1 of the 2 have a different port.. the other has 9982. So the proper question is.. why is the code allowing contracts to be bought from hosts that are not listing available space?

  I have given IP's and have the actual file to prove this is being done. I am not sure what is driving it though (porting or code)...

  @ciaron theoretically- its possible.
  If you farmed out 100% of your space at the same time- yes. If your collateral levels are high as well. Yes.

  Collateral shouldnt be set at 100% of your price however. Should be a percentage of the price.
  All hosts have to have collateral to backup what is used on the network- otherwise it wouldnt be "collateral". Glad to see the coins returned.

  @GUID0 I'm not sure yet that they have enough capital to hire a large work force. I brought this up to them once and that's how I became a moderator as a volunteer. Maybe they need to do a secondary crowd sale or possibly more volunteers.

  @bryan trying my best!

  If you're unable to do so then count this as a learning experience and next time, don't just store your password/seed digitally. Write it down! If all else fails, you'll have a physical copy of your information then!

  Sorry for your loss.

  Or even better flat rate should be tied to network utilization rate maybe?

  @Codie Hey, but
  If they have spent more than 12 hours and this is still 38.5%, or is in trouble or is the slowest language I have ever seen in my life

  Yeah... Mine took a whole three days to complete.

  @tmctech said in lost transfer of SC:

  just go back to polex open a support ticket and wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait and wait, wait up to 23 days that is the longest report of waiting time I have seen. good luck.

  Correct. It will be a waiting game at this point. I advise not to try an transfer out of polo.

  @ArneVR
  That is simple math:
  Anticipated Revenue = {contract count}x{contractprice}+{used storage}x{storageprice}+{uploaded TB}x{uploadprice}+{downloaded TB}x{downloadprice}

  Maybe minus lost collateral, but I'm not sure

  Look at siac host -v output and you will see these details.

  "There is no penalty at all if your uptime is more than 98%."

  Percentages mean very little unless we know what and how they are applied. (98% of of contract uptime, 98% of overall host uptime, 98% ??)
  Also are these based on per day- per week- per month - or just lifetime of the host being online?

  I have this behavior for a long time, but i've noticed that it is not a general problem- it depends on the internet connection.
  I am not sure what is behind that, siapulse is not working at my workplace, but works (at least the 6h and 24h) at home.
  The main difference is- different internet providers.
  One possibility I can imagine could be responsible is the DNS service (resolver). At home I use "comodo secure dns", at work the dns resolver is "company internal"...
  siahub.info works in both places.

  If your ports are open restart UI may help. Also enter terminal command ./siac host to see what the status is.

  @lomax No, this wallet is not, to my knowledge, duplicated on another host. I thought the same thing, but the UI is currently fully synced (current block height: 109332) and I am still unable to locate any information regarding my sending of coins to the wallet (for example, was not able to find my txid on explore.sia.tech).

  Another thread mentions performing a rescan with the seed, yet doesn't really outline the process. Is there an outline of how I might go about doing this? And, are there any other steps I might take to validate the transaction/secure my coins? Thanks
