<h3>Data loss has occurred</h3>
<p>
As noted below, the integration with Sia cloud storage is highly
experimental, everyone who uses this service should be aware of
that fact.
</p>
<p>
I recently discovered that the Sia node that is storing the
files for this website had crashed because of a memory leak. The
Sia team is currently trying to figure out how this memory leak
occurred. It's likely the contract renewal went wrong which
caused the Sia node to become unstable. Now when I start the Sia
daemon it eats up about 1 GB of RAM per minute, so I've turned
it off for the time being.
</p>
<p>
In the short period that the Sia daemon keeps running I managed
to request a file listing. It seems that because of the failed
contracts about 80% of the stored files have dropped far below
1x redundancy, meaning that they are lost. The upside of all
this is that the bug has been discovered before version 1.3.3
has come out so it might be fixed in the next release, bringing
the Sia platform as a whole another step closer to being a
reliable data storage solution.
</p>
<p>
Anyway, don't be surprised if your previously uploaded files are
gone now. I will soon start purging all unrecoverable files from
the database so we can start over with a clean slate.
