  Understanding Siamining reward ?

  @ezleth
  I would advise you to stop mining Sia using GPU because ASICs or mining on the network now. You won't be able to compete with ASICs and your mining reward will be super super low. If you really want some Siacoins, you can mine other coins and convert them to SC.

  Contracts completed, Why I didn't get any of my collateral back?

  Sia really does need to improve its host ledger reporting, and I'm not sure why no positive transactions ever show in the Wallet from contracts. Right now, when my contracts finish, I do notice my wallet balance does increase (assuming I don't have new contracts that simultaneous decrease the balance), and when running host -v I see numbers go up within the Host Financials sections. But I don't know a way yet to VERIFY that these numbers are correct, to correlate exact amounts with specific contracts, etc.

  Dont worry buddy. I had nearly 80k in sc just up and poof.

  The transactions were on the explorer, i took screen shots and reported them to sia. They said it would clear, days passed and still nothing.

  I asked again and they said 'reload' your wallet by uninstalling and resynching. Then low and behold no coins at all.

  The transactions and everything were 'fixed'. Something fishy going on here.

  Now I dont fet answers to any of my emails.

  Sia has some real issues.

  Okay, looks like I'm the only one who was having this issue. Yes, the issue is gone. No one has responded but I'm writing this in case someone would be interested in future.

  After a couple of days the I/O activity on the USB drive has ceased and siad started responding to requests again, all previous requests went through as well. I've lost none of the collateral. My score hasn't got much worse, uptimeadjustment score went down to 0,47 only. However, the historic uptime was not affected, so I haven't lost any contracts.

  So I'm happy that the issue is gone. However, it made me worry quite a bit.

  @watcher
  I don't think folder will save you any cost. Files smaller than 40MiB/40MB (I forgot what is the size of the chunks, 40MB or 40MiB, maybe you can check the code or ask on discord to make sure) will be padded to 40MiB/40MB before uploaded. So, if you want to upload a 1MB file, you will need to upload 40MB/MiB*3(redundancy)=120MB/MiB. So you end up using a lot of spaces if you upload small files.

  Sia wallet bug ?

  I think you are right ...

  I had (and still have) no thourough understanding of the Sia-concept of storage-selling/sharing.

  But ask yourself .. Is it a good thing for the overall Sia platform that users can fuck themselves over so easily ?
  Any wallet that can auto-remove funds is inherently dangerous, if the concept is not FULLY understood.

  No warnings, no calculations indicating "a risky setup", or warnings that current amount of Sia funds would be
  gone in 6-7 hours with current settings ... (And my settings were very conservative ... VERY)

  However .. When the Sia-client chooses to disconnect "the masternode" in the middle of the night when
  I am sleeping, and the Sia-system then punishes me for it - that makes me want to badmouth Sia ... a lot .. in many places.

  I might even spend a few Ethers having a few monkeys spam forums warning about Sia .. Yes, I am angry now.

  But .. I thank you for the "host -v" hint ... Useful knowledge :-)

  @voriand
  You are not synchronized. You need to delete consensus.db and re-sync.

  now I have 12600 sc in the wallet and still get the same message about not enough funds to form the contract. How much do I need in there? At this point its about $270 worth of SC. Seems odd that this is not enough for basically $8 per month on the income side. Is there something configured wrong or am I missing how much is needed to form the contracts?

  recover wallet from ver 0.4.3

  @SandBlock said in recover wallet from ver 0.4.3:

  @KLONE
  By default, the current version of wallet use the seed as the password unless you use a custom password. So it is seed=password by default and not password=seed.

  The seed is a combination of 28/29 English words.

  Try searching your computer for any wallet.db files. If you can find the file, there is a chance that you can unlock the wallet with the current version of Sia-UI. Or just install the latest version of Sia-UI on that computer to see if it recognise your wallet. The default location of the wallet file for Windows is %APPDATA%\Sia-UI\sia\wallet.

  Other than the method above, the only method left is finding out your seed. I don't think there are other method to recover your wallet.

  I'm hoping in ver 0.4.3 the default was a custom password, I think it was but I'm really worried ... i've asked for help on discord, thanks!

  @iclony
  Make sure this address is your Bittrex wallet address for SCaecbbb6a5305ee32333387f68b0baabee96ca5c613b99505d55e008e8bc52bc6.

  If it is correct and the transaction is on the blockchain, try open a new ticket again on Bittrex.
