  @alexsavin: the most recent release (v1.1.1, visible in the sidebar) does not have this problem. What you should do is close Sia, download the new version, delete your 'renter/hostdb.json', and then run the new version. After a few minutes you should see the host count start to climb, until it reaches ~70 or so.

  @Taek UPDATE! I'm tentatively optimistic that the problem has been cured (for the time being). I deactivated IPv6 in the network settings and it seems to have stopped the auto announcements. It's been about 36 hours without one occurring and I've received a couple of contracts during this time and more storage has been allocated. Deactivating IPv6 doesn't seem to have affected any other programmes, but this may cause a conflict further down the line when IPv6 adoption becomes more commonplace. Feel free to request further logs in future if it will help you counteract this problem. The refund offer is much appreciated. Good to know you're a fair person. I'm sure this is only one less thing in a list of many for you to worry about, but if there's anything we've both learnt it's to keep persevering!

  That will probably be good enough. We will have better support for backup and restore in v1.2.0

  Did you send to the wrong address? The transaction shows on the block explorer as completed. Also, did you sync your wallet? You will not see the transaction until your block height reaches 89,996.

  Ok, so at least you know what it is and it'll be fixed. It's still usable AFTER getting everything synced, just wanted to make sure the team was aware.

  We would love to integrate with LBRY at some point in the future. Especially once we have deployed the CDN capabilities of Sia.

  Admin privileges are needed to be a host, if you just want to be a renter, denying it admin privileges shouldn't cause any problems.

  We need admin for one reason only... to create sym links. We did know know when we designed the host that symlinks required admin rights on Windows.

  v1.2.0, a few months away, removes the need for symlinks, allowing Sia to be run without admin privileges.

  @jonathanhowell were there plans to add something like this to the GUI? For some reason I thought it was a feature that we added.
