Negative experience of SIA hosting and warning against it

[moorsc0de]

@vHost
Crazy idea to warn users?
Polite to explain why deductions are made?

Yea those are crazy thoughts.... Sia will banish you entirely for such talk LOL
They did to me for making the same claims. Keep it up buddy haha

i dont think bryan is to blame for this IMO

[vHost]

@moorsc0de Now I can't edit my post, it's flagged as spam. F*ck you SIA.

[moorsc0de]

@vHost Could just be they want this to stay up.. the comments are valid.

I hate to say it
:"BUT I told everyone about this".... But rather than beat em.. I just encourage people to get in the system to experience it for themselves.

[vHost]

@moorsc0de My host now says it has 4 contracts, despite the fact that it still says it's unreachable! This software is a JOKE. What a bunch of cowboys.

And by the way SIA ports are open and reachable from the outside, I just checked but Sia-UI is obviously buggy.

[vHost]

@moorsc0de F*ck me! I reverted SIa-UI to the previous version (1.2.1) and it managed to connect straight away. WTF is going on? The latest version is obviously buggy. I want my money back!

@vHost
Now you understood how I felt 7-8 weeks ago.

[bryan]

@vHost I don't work for SIA. I just moderate the forum and provide help where I can. I've never hosted because Comcast cannot provide more than 45% uptime. I'm more on the mining side. I did lose quite a bit of coins trying to rent but learned very quickly that it wasn't ready.

[vHost]

@bryan Can you not send this to the developers? Will they read this or are they so arrogant to not care about serious problems in their software?

[bryan]

@vHost they probably don't have time while they're trying to work. You can tag them like @Taek . I'd suggest you bring it up in slack. Though I doubt it's new information to them.

[vHost]

@Taek can you please feedback on this post? Major bug found.

[moorsc0de]

@vHost Bro this was communicated weeks back! LMAO
I dont think you understand. I was banned on reddit and the slack for the stuff I was revealing.

You weren't banned for what you were revealing. You were banned for your terrible behavior towards other members.

I'm not going to engage the foolery.. the last time I did- it was used against me. This post is about a Negative Experience with Sia. So hopefully we can keep it focused on that.

I haven't targeted anything except the Sia interface.
The more you ppl target me, the more they expose the lack of addressing the REAL SIA issues that people (including myself) have been complaining about and been openly transparent about.

Clarification of facts is hardly targeting. Here is a friendly rememider of the actual statement regarding your ban:

That's enough. @moorsc0de you've crossed the line a few times, and I've granted you leniency specifically because you are critical of Sia, but you are being rude and intentionally damaging our community

The more you ppl target me, the more they expose the lack of addressing the REAL SIA issues that people (including myself) have been complaining about and been openly transparent about.

Yes, and the there are ONLY 3 devs. There's other problems that require their attention.

@vHost The easiest way to reach the devs about this is to file a bug report. Head to github, and give information. Then you can work with them directly. There is a lot mess in the forums and the devs are simply unable to sift through every post due to time.

[vHost]

@xurious I'm afraid I don't care enough about the project to file a bug report.

News alert: I never signed up for beta testing.

I've lost money for no fault of my own and I'm so alienated with SIA right now that I just want the project to fail. If you, the devs, whoever, doesn't want to or doesn't have the resources to take the info I posted here, it's your own problem and a sign you've tried to bite into more than you can chew.

[moorsc0de]

@vHost Agreed - Consumers should not be the built in testing function of Sia. Many of us (including self) have obliged in that, and in return targeted as problems or "crossing lines".
smh

[bryan]

@vHost don't care enough about the project but you seem to care about your coins. Helping the project may eventually help you earn your coins back.

I understand your attitude because I had a similar attitude losing some of my coins when I came to the project. However I chose to help instead of complain and I've made quite a bit of cash already.

At the end of the day this project is very young and no one cares if you have a bad attitude about losing your coins with a technology you had no idea how to use. This isn't new, we all know how unfriendly it is. That is how decentralized systems work. You're a grain of sand on the beach.

All that said I hope you choose stay with the project and find a way to make your coins back. We could always use more people on here helping people avoid the problems you encountered.

[moorsc0de]

@bryan Agreed as well...continue to help people... then they can ultimately see what you/we see. Then the grains of sand turn into a beachfront.
Then Sia will have to answer up or swim with the fishes lol

@vHost I have written and posted a lot (even wrote the tutorial in here about how to open ports- which no one including Sia has written) .. so the nay sayers on me can talk BS all they want... but I have written articles for help- helped many individuals in private chat as well- BUT I have also criticized when needed. In this space Sia has to take good with bad.. unfortunately there is more bad than good to report. Banning people that report bad.. (for me) is a bit more damaging than listening (my opinion). But I am honestly not sure Sia even is aware of these issues- which is and can be the source for frustration.
What gets me is those who attempt to suppress the bad. If Sia was working.. I would be the biggest advocate as well. Just so happens I cant advocate for bad code.
shrugs

[vHost]

@bryan so that's how they got you in as well. Well done complying to the monetary loss and become their testing minion. Why should they care about buggy software when they have subjugated minions like yourself obeying to their collateral wip. Thanks for your help it all makes sense now.

[bryan]

@vHost it's possible that you're right. But I've made 20x the coins I lost. Sia is making my house payments.
