yes,i can use all siac command in localhost

@johnathanhowell how can i test that

I haven't set allowance yet,does that matter?

ok,i'll try that

wait a long... time for contract forming, the hint should be "no contracts" rather than "Unable to get backend for sia" I think

the flag turn green now, but there is some problem else, I'll open another issue

I still think the hint : "Unable to get backend for sia" should be "you should set some allowance", which makes me still keep this issue open for a while

@xadhoom76 it's a local dir for data,to store data locally for sia file repairing if sia support file repairing without local file, that dir might be not necessary

@xadhoom76 I use a absolute one. you should send some coins to that node,and set allowance to form contracts with hosts. then you can upload things to sia network

@xadhoom76 this is my setting  can you post your `renter -v` info
