Your support is appreciated and helps keep SiaSetup up-to-date.
Thanks for your support!
You can support SiaSetup in multiple ways. SiaSetup is a volunteer project, and keeping on top of regular updates takes more time than you'd probably think. Here are some things your donation helps support:
Providing the most detailed and up-to-date information on Sia and Skynet in one place. SiaSetup has grown to cover almost everything related to Sia since SiaSetup was started in 2017, which has consisted of hundreds if not thousands of hours of work!
Reviewing each page of SiaSetup upon each new Sia version which is released - this is fairly time-consuming, as guides and FAQ items have details which may be specific to a Sia version and which may change, and we have very detailed guides and FAQ items!
Developing our Renter Tools, which help you estimate how much money you'll spend as a renter and what to set your initial allowance to.
Developing our Host Tools, which help you determine if you're qualified to be a good host, what to set initial host prices to as a new host, calculating profitability as a host, and troubleshooting host issues.
Providing a nightly Consensus database download, which requires a decent dedicated server in order to run a full Sia node and package the database efficiently, saving you 50% of the consensus database bandwidth and synchronization time.
Providing very detailed and up-to-date guides with current screenshots for any major changes in Sia versions, in order to help you set up a wallet, rent, host, and use Skynet on Sia.
Personally testing many Sia features and functions which are not well documented or which we want to document better for FAQs or guides, which requires Siacoins, hardware and time to set up and maintain.
Answering questions we receive about Sia via our contact form - even though we explicitly state we aren't officially affiliated with Sia and we're not obligated to provide support for Sia, many times we can provide easy answers or add a new question to our FAQ topics because we're cool dudes.
Future projects we want to undertake, such as additional Renter and Host tools, launching a custom Skynet Portal, and attached projects which may or may not fall under the SiaSetup "brand" but will benefit the Sia ecosystem as a whole.
Whatever method you choose, your support of SiaSetup is certainly appreciated!
Donate via Cryptocurrency
The easiest way to support SiaSetup is via a donation of cryptocurrency. We are able to accept the cryptocurrencies listed below.
You can use Shapeshift to convert other cryptocurrency or altcoins to Siacoin, Bitcoin or Ethereum, which you can then send to one of the addresses we've provided.
You may also be able to convert other cryptocurrency directly to one of our addresses using a conversion service, but check to make sure the service's Terms of Service allow you to do this first. Some services require the output wallet to be under your control. We don't want you to get in trouble!
Donate via Debit Card
You can also donate via a debit card, and in some countries, a bank account. Visit our Guide to Buying Siacoins, and using the section to buy Siacoins on Transak, click the Donate to SiaSetup button above the wallet address field to fill SiaSetup's donation address. Then, enter your email address and follow the prompts to complete your donation.
Rent from SiaSetup
SiaSetup maintains one or more high-priced hosts, so that if you are a Sia renter you can indirectly donate to SiaSetup by selecting our hosts. Plus, you get something in exchange - a reliable host to store your files. Visit our Rent from SiaSetup page to learn more.
