My computer crashed and sia became that……





  • Looks like one of your files got corrupted. Could be the miner.json, because siad shuts down as soon as it wants to load the miner.

    Could you try deleting the miner.json and try again?



  • yeah,maybe you are right……but I do that ,and get that

  • hmmm, ok. that means that also your host.json is corrupted.

    See here for the same issue: http://forum.sia.tech/topic/336/a-sia-ui-error-has-occured-error-sia-closed-unexpected

    It should regenerate the json file if you delete it, but i'm not 100% sure if all your host settings will be the same as before. maybe you need to make some settings again afterwards.

    hmm, we have file protections in place that should prevent these types of failures during crashes. You may have to delete a few of the settings files.

    To the best of my knowledge, these types of crashes only happen on Windows, both Mac and Linux have safer filesystems. Still, I would like to find out how we can prevent these issues on Windows as well.
