Bryce Weiner is larger than UNO, but I think he wants UNO to be larger than him.  He's an asset to the community and should remain.  I don't see any reason to dump Bryce or UNO.  Hodling.

Tried searching something like "data recovery" on http://www.yelp.com near your area?  Find some pros to take a look at it.

Anyone remember Operation Web Tryp?

Operation Web Tryp was a United States Drug Enforcement Administration operation that ended on July 21, 2004 with the arrests of 10 persons. Its purpose was to investigate web sites suspected of distribution of unscheduled, unregulated tryptamines and phenethylamines of questionable legality.

...One of these websites, pondman.nu, was allegedly taking in U.S. $20,000 per week and grossed $700,000 before being shut down. Another, racresearch.com, reportedly grossed $500,000 in 14 months...

And Liberty Reserve?

In May 2013, Liberty Reserve was shut down by United States federal prosecutors under the Patriot Act after an investigation by authorities across 17 countries. The United States charged founder Arthur Budovsky and six others with money laundering and operating an unlicensed financial transaction company. Liberty Reserve is alleged to have been used to launder more than $6 billion in criminal proceeds during its history.

It's a cat and mouse game that continues.  Encryption just adds a digital wrinkle to the game.  Small fry have nothing to worry about, anon vendor whales by their nature cause bigger splashes.  While the technology may function flawlessly every time, it's a human user that will fail at some point.  (Anyone watch The Wire?)

US Mint caught completely off guard by EPIC physical demand, SOLD OUT of Silver Eagles after burning through over 2 million oz in less than 2 hours Wednesday morning!

Get silver in your hands and Unobtanium in your hard drives while supplies last (at these prices).

UNO is such an easy proposition to understand fundamentally in crypto, that it could be called U(noob)tanium.

"The Syscoin team are the first thus far to legally act in regards to the missing BTC – and not just from the Syscoin team fund, but also the Mintpal cold storage wallets – a total amounting to more than 4,000 BTC. While our case is focused on recovering the 750 BTC owned by us held in escrow by moolah.io under Ryan Kennedy’s (aka: Alex Green) control, our case will set a precedent for all further cases of this type in our industry. We are also working closely several other undisclosed parties impacted by this theft."

Some interesting legal papers to read in this update from the Syscoin folks.

Nothing wrong with starting small, going slow, and being patient.  Sometimes the best move is the one you don't make.

That's Enky Nakamura, not me.   

How will Unobtanium market react to this possible BTC price drop over the short term?  I make monthly UNO buys and would welcome a cheaper BTC to buy UNO.  The question is - will UNO supply and demand dynamics cause a drop in UNO price along with BTC?  We've all seen what upticks in demand do to the UNO trade.  I'm content to steadily buy and hold, I mean hodl.   

Dip a toe in Unobtanium.

Someone made a nice UNO buy.  It wasn't available for long, was it? 

Here's an article with some of the latest info on the Alex Green, 3700 BTC Mintpal caper:

Any Mintpal UNO withdrawn?  There's conflicting info about the fate of Mintpal altcoins??  Some folks got their crypto back, others not, and others were denied access or had zero balances or w/d errors??  Are withdrawal requests still being processed and pushed through at this time?

What's the bounty up to for any information leading to the current whereabouts of Alex Green?

Who is Alex Green?

I haven't been following the Mintpal/Moolah story closely, but now I'm starting to pick up things here and there.  This is starting to feel like another crypto market gut punch.

On one hand you have the story of an orderly bankruptcy and on the other hand you allegedly have a known scammer claiming an orderly bankruptcy.

Also, I'm assuming no one is able to access or withdraw their Mintpal/Moolah crypto and there is very low confidence they will ever be able to do so.

Are we in "it's too early to tell we have to wait and see mode"?  Are there clear indications that we can draw conclusions from?  And what is the impact or what will the impact be across the crypto marketplace?

Plenty of UNO dumpage sold to savvy buy support.  I expect it won't be long before 0.01 UNO/BTC is tested again.  Reasonable to get sellers around that area who are looking to realize a gain from UNO purchased from ~0.005 range.  Healthy for UNO to find stronger hands to settle into as it's maturing.  It's good to see folks who are finding out about UNO have an opportunity to get decent amounts for $3-$4.  I think there's a good chance that demand for UNO will increase with time, and with it, the price. 

The life of a revolutionary is... public.

Are UNO T-shirts still available?  I wanted to give credit to 51%attack for allowing me to buy the T-shirt for ~8 UNO, but I couldn't find anything on their site.  Maybe UNO Ts are like UNO crypto itself???

You bet your ass that's me. 

Rojan was a bad/misguided guy on a Star Trek The Original Series episode - I liked the name.
