How did i just spent 170k sc ?!


  • I pretty much made the same mistake, although I only lost a small amount.

    I now have 1TB availabe, the GUI says. Somehow, I cannot upload any files because "not enough contracts to upload file".

    I tried buying 10gb just as a test, costing me 1.6 KS but it gave me an error saying it couldn't find any hosts willing to accept the contract (and a giant list of all the hosts). 3 of them had the maximum duration set too low, a couple due to "unconfirmed transactions" and the rest did not have enough coins.

    So I didn't get any extra contracts (I checked "renter contracts") but I still lost that 1.6KS to not a single host?
    I could use the terminal. The GUI needs more options nonetheless. Length of contract, a more exact amount perhaps, and more exact data on what it's going to cost you (not "estimated funds"). Maybe even choosing your own hosts or their general area, and their costs.

    I do love the idea though so I'm not abandoning it just yet.

    @EvoSteven thanks for hanging in there through all the errors. Before you can upload a file, you need to form contracts with at least 14 hosts. Your renter will try to form contracts every block until it can get to the minimum of 14.

    the 1.6KS that you lost is locked in some number of contracts less than 14. If you give it time, the renter should eventually get to 14 contracts.

  • @Taek Any idea on how long that might take? I'm not particularly impatient, but I bought the 1TB (woops) over 24 hours ago.

    There you go.
    So do i get my coins back after the contracts are done and how long would that maybe take?

  • @seitrox I am now wondering this too since I've just had 27k put into a file contract I believe (I guess it keeps going idk).

    I am hosting though so having a 27k hole is kind of a big deal since I need it for locked collateral...

    @EvoSteven I dont host but since the contract says its unspent ill probably get them back as the guys above stated and if not im not to mad either ^^

  • Ever since I pressed "accept" on that 10gb with the ridiculously high estimated funds number, SIA has been draining my funds slowly. About 80k is now locked into contracts which is a severe problem if you're hosting (collateral). One specific contract cost me 50KS and I still don't have enough contracts to upload anything.

    I'm scared to add more SIA because it will just get drained again :p
    I know I should get it back but I could really use that collateral.

    Are you running a host right now? It's much more likely that those coins are going to people forming contracts with you. Can you paste the output of siac renter -v and siac renter contracts, as well as siac host -v? (you can put those commands into the terminal plugin, and you can type 'help' into the terminal plugin if you want to see a list of more things that you can do).

  • @Taek Oh I know about locked collateral and all that. That is not the case here though.

    Doing siac host, I can see I currently have 2.273KS locked collateral.

    Doing siac renter -v shows me a total of about 85.59KS unspent funds (and total allocated because I can't upload anything.)

    I'd post the outputs but I'm not home right now and use my phone for remote access. (too much work)

  • Update:

    As expected, I put in another 50K SC into my account and a day later, -42KS into yet another contract.
    That's well over 120KS locked into contracts.

    and I still get "not enough contracts to upload file"...
    Guess I'll have to wait. Lmao.
