when the pools??? :)

The official pool has been open since launch to allow people to mine until other pools modify their code to run an Umbru pool.

We would like to thank gloomik for adding Umbru support to their pool! You can check it out below;

Umbru has also been added at PoolExplorer.
The official pool will not show up as we do not use YIIMP but all YIIMP based pools will show up to give miners an overview.

Regarding the two team members Ryan Lorz and Bryan Evans specified on your website. Are these real people or just some random pictures/names off the internet because I have a really hard time verifying their identities?
For instance, the image Bryan Evans appears to be of a cooking chef called Eddie:

Thank you for bringing this up morvillz7z, I will update the website to reflect that Bryan is actually a community moderator for our social platforms.
I was unaware this was not him and have discussed with him and the reasoning was he wishes to remain private. I will remove the image, and clarify on platforms he is an unpaid community member helping.

Alright, I understand, I thought it's important to bring it up because projects coming with fake team members, having incorrect or misleading information as well as plagiarising content from others usually get tagged as scammers around here on bitcointalk. If you want to stay anonymous that's perfectly fine with me, no need to use fake names or pictures though.  ;)

No I personally understand where you are coming from, I have updated our website and this thread to reflect Bryan's involvement as a community member and also removed the picture.

Using fake pics?  I wouldn't trust this coin if you gave me a million of them.

It was a community member that offered to help moderate the discord and social media channels.
I understand them wanting to remain private but was unaware of the picture, which has been rectified.

This is the reason why only one team member is published on your site right now?
Is that his true photo this time - Ryan Lorz?
Using fake pics to launch a project is being frowned upon because it is a sign that the team might abandon the project easily as they are not using their real identities.

The above was in regard to Bryan, which as I stated has been changed to clarify he is a community member. Currently yes there is one developer myself, Ryan.

Umbru Times #1
It has been 24 hours now since the Umbru mainnet launched, a few hiccups with the official pool statistics being slow to display but all in all a rather smooth launch. The aim of the Umbru Times is to give a weekly update on things achieved and plans going forward. This is to keep all users, miners and potential investors up to speed or to ask questions and give feed back.

Completed
 - Umbru Mainnet Launched
 - Block explorer and API
 - Official Mining Pool
 - Proposal Generator
 - ChainLocks Activated

Updates Planned (this month)
 -  Umbru Whitepaper (Revision 1)
 - Android/iOS Mobile Wallets
 - Trezor wallet support
 - Masternode Trezor support
 - Exchange/Service Listings

We have also had some interest from the community in joining the Umbru team in a community oriented role, more updates to come on this as salaries for community roles are based upon the Umbru Labs proposal passing at the end of this month.

Masternode owners please make sure to check #proposals on Discord and vote your thoughts!

I do not want to be rude here, but accepting someone from that you never meet before and made him as your moderator without knowing every detail about him is completely absurd. This project lacks transparency, I would not even be surprised to see the other guy is also using a fake profile. Before making any further progress, it would be best for you to make a video presentation about your project and the team behind it.
