sia-siad-error-closed

I recently encounter this error within my Sia wallet, so I thought I would share the solution here and help others fix the problem.

The problem can occur if the wallet or your computer crashes whilst being used and this then corrupts the sia data folders which cannot be automatically restored by the wallet itself.

Solution:-

Close the Siacoin wallet.

Find the local folder for the Sia blockchain and wallet data, it will be stored separately from where your launch the sia-ui.exe program. For windows users it will be saved like this. (Username will be your computers username). Appdata is a hidden folder and you may need to reveal it using the folders view options.

C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Sia-UI\sia

Inside the sia folder delete all the folders except the wallet & consensus folder.

Restart Sia-UI.exe

After a delay the Siacoin wallet will load normally with your coins intact.

 

I answer a few questions from Pier about mining Ethereum.

The questions:-

1- how much the version (2gb;4gb;5gb….) and the DDR type makes the difference on your final Mh/S?

2- im not sure if i understood right, that the cpu dosnt make a lot of difference, just need a decent one (30£?)

3- if my station can mining at 30 mh/s today, i assume i can earn around 65 dollars for a month, without counting the eletricy cost. 6 months later my station will works and mines in the same way, giveing me the same amount of money for a month?

4- my network, my connection in term of download and upload might make the difference?

Claymore’s dual miner is fixed and updated to work with windows 10 and Nvidia graphics cards.

Use Nvidia driver version 347.88 with Windows 10 then copy files from cuda 6.5 folder to main folder and start miner.

One of my rigs went offline and upon inspection I discovered that one of the two Gigabyte 280x’s had died. Also a fan had failed on the remaining working gpu and so I decided to use the dead card as a donor and swap the fans over.
