Good to see you again Blazr2, welcome home!   

siameze, woah that escalated fast! In the short time you've been here I've come to appreciate your knowledge and input, I hope you won't turn your back on us forever. We need critical thinkers and knowledgable folks like yourself. Uno has (at least since after the Wolong days)  never been a dev-driven coin, it has always been about us, this community here. That is not going to change. If you don't entirely trust a new dev, why not stick around and help make sure Uno stays on track with the rest of us?

On another topic, I'm experimenting with creating a small Utility/ticker app for Uno, targeted towards a Windows store release later this year. Any features in particular you folks would be looking forward to and find usefull? So far I've implemented a price ticker and coin stats (basically what's already runnig at unobtanium.uno), but I'm thinking about adding charts, live tiles, notifications etc. if there's any interest. Oh and its got switchable themes, one of which our resident BlueMan would love.

I like that proposed change, lets do it.

I'm happy to announce that the chinese version of our site is now online! Enjoy, post, tweet, etc. 
Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, Gekko, Daniel, Pnoch, FallingKnife and all donors to the bounty. Love this community!

pnoch - you rock! 

Excellent discussion today. I've updated the website with a number of changes I have been discussing with FK for the past week or two. If you notice any errors please be so kind to alert me, so that I can fix them before they get translated. Thanks!

Oh and woah, higher UNO volume on Cryptopia today than on Cryptsy! Someone really going after those 0% fee trades, lol.

I remember recently seeing a documentary on TV about the booming weed businesses in the states of the USA where is was legalized. Even though these companies are now in operating legally, they are largely excluded from the traditional banking system. Credit card companies won't work with them either. So they have to deal in cash-only, which carries a lot of risks and costs too (as all places that mostly deal in cash: where do you store your money, how do you get it there, how to protect it against theft? etc.). The moment I saw that I thought "ooooh, a crypto currency might make a lot of sense for these folks!". I don't see any of the current coins really making progress in adoption though, so it might just be a promising looking road leading to a dead end...

I apologize for the OT.

@Gekko yay on Daniel. Be prepared that there will be coming a few updates and changes to the homepage soon, so please be sure to check in with me before giving him the texts or anything. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch 8bitcoder, I sent you 5 UNO as a small token of appreciation!

It wasn't possible to predict both devs would be unresponsive/indisposed at the same time. Very inconvenient. I hope I don't spill any secrets when i say that FK actually did prepare a contingency plan, but that fell through too, so there really was a lot of bad luck involved! Anyway, he has been busting his ass making things right and has already achieved much. Please don't forget we're all volunteers, doing this on our own time. This is not meant as an excuse, errors were made, but that is human.

As you can see by the addition of CaptChadd we're already actively recruiting additional devs for UNO, so that the work can get better distributed and we don't get into situations again where we rely on the availability of a single person. This is only the beginning, and everybody is invited to do his or her part in making the future UNO even better than the past...

As for the 32bit people, it won't be long, I'm fairly sure of that!


Slightly OT:
I actually tried setting up a Windows dev environment to compile the wallets - it was worth an attempt but I failed. Tracking down all the dependencies in their required versions is already hard, when the error messages just wouldn't go away and google couldn't help I gave up. Really made me appreciate the great tools for dependency management, deployment etc. that I've got for my webdev jobs, so much more comfortable. I'll keep looking for a good guide to try again.

This +1000

I'm as non-thrilled as anybody about how Bryce didn't deliver the wallets in time, but technically he doesn't owe us anything. He moved UNO to a newer codebase and brought us MM, even if it had rough edges, probably cost FK some gray hair and all of us some lost sleep. We've come through this stronger IMO. And believe me, we won't be stopping anytime soon.

Don't mention Vertcoin. I can't believe I fell for that Beartrap. Could have bought a ton of UNO today if I had held a little longer. Well at least some of my other speculations and bags are pumping, so its not all bad. As always I'm investing profits in UNO, that strategy has served me well over the past year.

LOL I was just about to add it too, you were faster - again!

I updated the site with download buttons and a link to your instructions, that should make it easier for newcomers to find.

Count me in for 10 UNO towards that bounty Gekko.

I'm not a dev, but I know they're really sorry for how this played out.

I'd be more than happy to compensate you (and any other pool owners for that matter) out of my own pockets for the UNO that you may have lost by mining on the wrong chain. Send me a PM with some info/proof of the blocks mined and I will send you some UNO to pay out to your miners.

I *think* just Bitcoin - at least that's what was decided. Wether the implementation is really Bitcoin specific, or would also allow other sha-256 coins I do not know.

You could try tweeting @BryceWeiner about it if you're curious.

Sounds reasonably similar to what I intend to do once we have a windows binary.

Yeah we discussed many ideas, the decision was made to go with the traditional route, same/similar to what namecoin and others are doing.

Yes it is Bittrex. A lot more than last time I checked on there, someone apparently deposited a few tons there recently...

5k pressure down -> stays in channel
1k pressure up -> break-out
I love this coin.

The market is waiting to see if whoever crashed it has more to sell. I doubt it.


This was the single highest volume UNO activity for over a year (~2.8% of total supply dumped pretty much in a single move - the equivalent of almost 400,000 Bitcoins being cashed out, I'd like to see how BTC's price would react to that) and I don't think anymore that it is/was a shakeout.

More than likely just a single account that either got hacked or rage quit altcoins altogether - several other coins (and cryptsy points) dumping at exactly the same time can't be a coincidence. That is not a move a smart pumper would do. Stuff like that happens in crypto. Doesn't look good on the chart, but whoever did it is likely gone now.

The market is now behaving similarly to before the incident - low volume sideways - just at a 10% lower level. Whoever was accumulating before is now rubbing their hands. People are probably gonna prefer placing low buy orders for a while, hoping to catch another knife. This will delay upward momentum.

That is true, but a counter-argument could be: how many people have actually bought some UNO but never even withdrawn it from the exchange?

You don't have to look very hard to find evidence that there are (depite all the hacks/thefts) plenty people who use exchanges as their wallets. Something like Bittrex Beta's distribution feature actually brings a lot of transparency to this issue. I wish Cryptsy would do the same, as they seem to have 7-10x the amount of UNO on the books overall...

UNO has been traded so long and has been through several distribution cycles. There are certainly a few early whales,there's also certainly a few new whales, but there's also a large number of small to medium sized hodlers and investors, more than with most younger coins.
