ive been telling you for years that data centers will be war targets

it seems we arrived

when your data lives on the sia network (see @SiaFoundation) it is protected from such threats

no reaction at all 🙃

probably declared as bad faith like many feedback in their discord

closing eyes and ears will help 💯🤷‍♀️

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

after abandoning sia a while ago i wanted to use this weekend to check in

not really excited but definitely keen to give it another try i gave up after 30 minutes

here is my journey

before i start: two months ago the team promised to do and communicate better so lets see how the @siafoundation takes this feedback and if it will change anything

i am starting fresh coz i rage uninstalled everything like two months ago

so let me do this as if i never had any interaction with sia before..

on the website you cant find the downloads easily anymore

as in... you go on the website and use the browser search to find 'downloads'

nothing

its hidden under 'getting started' then `software downloads`

then when you end up there as a newcomer you have no idea what to download without reading the whole docs before

you must know what renterd and the rest means

but there is also an alternative path

on 'getting started' you can chose between renting or providing data

if you do that you land on the setup guide for renters

guess what

there is no download option at all

instead you must click on one of linux/windows/macos

then... you are redirected to the docs page with a wall of text before anything installing is mentioned

then i found the installing part

but... the renterd mac app doesnt exist there

its talking something about brew and shows me computer commands

but i dont want that

i just want to store my data securely with the mac app

so i went back to the download page because now i know that i need renterd if i want to backup my files

there are two options the desktop and terminal application one is version 0.34 the other is 2.8

below is a setup link to the setup guide

its for both downloads the same link

alright let me download the desktop application first

while it downloads the 880mb (??) i click on the setup link

but that doesnt bring me to a setup guid

it brings me to a general docs page

so i read some things before i see the 'installing renterd' reference

i click it and select macos again

but wait

thats again the site where it says something about computer commands like brew and nothing about the desktop app i am (still) downloading

(as a very patient new user id prob be out here.... i am not so i pull through)

when the download finished i open my spotlight and type sia but nothing shows up

not sure why anyyyywayyyy i know where i downloaded it to

ahhh its renterd

alright let me install it.. drag drop done nice

open spotlight and type sia

tf.. still not there.. ok the installer name was renter something so let me search that.... success

so lets open this

a launcher window opens

(i dont want to complain about every lil detail but while i am on it: its really badly readable if you dont have great eyes)

so as a (pretended) new user its pretty clear what to do here and i understand it.. good

(let me side track to the user who already has a recovery phrase.. there is no option for that and you must use the same flow as a new user... so you enter an existing phrase and password in te new user mask)

ok so phrase and password is filled whats next? there is no 'next' button or something at the bottom where i would expect it

anyway green buttons always good so lets click 'save and start daemon' (no idea what a daemon is)

ah, dialog that tells me to copy and store the phrase somewhere (as the user who already had a phrase you are too forced too copy the phrase you just pasted)

click it and get a confirmation dialog that.......... shows my phrase in plain text while it in the actual field is hidden

i hopen no one in the coffee shop looked at my screen rn fml

oki okiiii done. this thing opened finally....

so now the actual app opens in my browser... not sure why i downloaded a 880mb desktop app then but ok

so now i need to enter my password that i just entered one screen before

paste.. wrong. ah yeah, thats coz i had to copy the phrase in the last step

let me rotate back to copy the password again

done aaaand in! what a journey

first things i see are...

1 need to setup my storage settings. there is a link, works, cool

2 the second step is 'Wait for the blockchain to sync 1....' no idea wht the '1....' means but there is a orange details button. aaaaah its not clickable, must be decoration

3 'fund my wallet 0.9%' what does it want to tell me here? what 0.9%??

4 that auto pilot is disabled. not sure why i manually must activate this if it is required to run the software but okeee

alrighty, whats next?

not so sure. but the logo at the top shows a percentage so lets click that.. ah no opens a popup with infos

percentage of synching 1.1% after 5 minutes ok will take a while

wait wasnt sia supposed to be instant sync since the v2 hardfork last year??

ah, there is a version info at the bottom of the popup.. it shows 2.7.1

waaait, earlier the website showed 0.34 and 2.8 versions

did i download something wrong? is that why it takes so long to sync?

noooo idea.... alright this will take a while. i gonna skip this for now. might check back next weekend.. or dont

sooo now you can see this as highly valuable user feedback or call me dumb

but that is exactly the user experience a first time user has

its crazy to me really that everything screams that they cant at all see things from a users perspective and its so sad

as a side note... every openclaw user will have crazy storage needs and it is exactly the privacy oriented audience sia is made for. its the perfect match and probably the single biggest opportunity to gain traction sia had over the last few years

but with things being like i described above i doubt anyone wants to deal with sia at all

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

no one wanted to hear this when it was $600+

i hope yall had fun being exit liq 🤗

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

imma buying #ZEC at around <= 280

not risking being exit liq and stuck until the next run

the shill is too obvious

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

buying when everyone is whining was always a good decision

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

ZERO

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

@adamscochran impossible that the leak is on the ukrainian side

[PUMPUANA @pumpuana]

lets face it

siacoin is doomed if nothing changes on lightning speed starting NOW

the sia team has very little time to turn around the project

otherwise there soon will be no ‘donors’ left

otherwise there soon will be no miners left

and the team will lose their jobs

just look at the facts and numbers

these arent technical questions

there are painful foundational business decisions required

* communication
* builder strategy
* community treatment
* tokenomics
* identity

its all messed up
its all doomed to implode soon

you can only be that long stubborn

but they dont want it to be true

because the money until now came either way

pretending to listen will not help

there is little hope

be prepared to lose everything
