Help needed with Hosting Configurations
-
Howdy all I'm a newbie.
I've been an active hoster on Sia for two days, but have not won any contracts. I'm using the latest synched UI, have allocated a 3TB drive & all the configs are default: 26 / 100 / 50 / 25. Accepting contracts & announced, have 2000+ coins. Any tips please on whether I should alter any of those, bandwidth price is not an issue. I just used the default address that came up to announce, no idea how to check whether that was correct.

Hi there...
your problem is general to all in the net work.. The supply of storage far reaches beyond demand, meaning excess of storage - Just a bit more than1% of the close to two peta byte active storage at the moment is utilized :-(
Meaning that announcing a new host will take som time to have any space rented out.
To let you understand how the mechanics works look at this post:

@larsfloe OK Thanks - same deal as Storj. That 3TB is going back to Burst, I'll find a few gigs for Sia elsewhere.

@larsfloe Forgot to ask, are the default config settings ok then?

Also search for your host on http://siahub.info/ and check its score, and the values that make up the score.
You can play with these configurations based on what's explained in the Hosting Handbook @larsfloe linked to above.
As a reference, my score is in the top 10, and I had an increase of less then 500MB over the last 24 hours. There's not a lot of demand in the network right now!
