I am trading UNO on Mintpal, come on people and join the fun!  Cheesy

Right now it feels like I am trading with myself, so little action. Mintpal is hands down the best echange there is right now and we need some volume to keep UNO listed. It is currently the lowest volume BTC market there, which is a shame as UNO is such a great coin.

I'm there! Bought some at 0056 over night. I try to cycle them through and close the spread when I can. Need to have the market ready for buyers. I try keep at least 200 coins over there, but people buy 'em up and move out (probably to Cryptopus' dice game)!  :-)

And yes, Wolong is playing the GameOfDeception, but two things...

1. The best lies are always based on the truth - as he has shown he understands that fact.  
2. He is egotistical as fuck and likes to brag which tips his hand.

Anyway, this is all just speculation obviously, but we all like to speculate, or we wouldn't be dabbling in crypto.

You're absolutely right on those  two points, and probably correct on the others as well. :-)

Allcrypt listed the coin as KSH, but KSC is correct Smiley

ty, i asked them to change it

Has anyone done the math? How long should it take for 1 ksc to be mined? Wondering how long until KSC is mined out.

After 2 days, just .002 ksc to show for it.

After first two days it was around .002, but now block reward is 0.0010010 KSC. We added block explorer so you can see more info here:
http://abe.kashmircoin.org:10017/

The amount in the explorer includes the premine of 10 KSC, so only 3.4 mined so far. Wow, this is rare.  I WILL own a full KSC, or my collection will not be complete!

sun is shining, get up mining!
maybe maki will not perform like old father bitcoin...  (4sure, it won't)

but why call it dead? this goes out to all who want to keep it alive. let's get maki on Coin-Swap.net. i created a request, we need to donate 100k doge to get it on the list. i started with 3,9k and keep donating.
i don't care if it takes a few days/weeks. https://coin-swap.net/newcoin   donate doge to:  DQtmP6Vi4ZMW4JsHqw7CvareT4RpSeDRUS
visit the page, to see that this is not my wallet  Cheesy

let's see what happens...



I agree, lets see what happens. Thanks for setting up the vote at Coin-swap. I'd be happy to trade there.

I have feelers out to some exchanges where I hold coins, and am finding interest in MKI. I think we'll land an exchange soon as a community effort.
Keep mining so you'll have coins to trade when the exchange hits.  

Let me know which pools you prefer. I'm soloing for now.

Stay tuned.

hey people,

im a uno believer for quite a while now.
but i must say that im kinda troubled about the bot-trading on cryptsy (not sure about mintpal, because im not really trading there).
i believe most of the volume on cryptsy come from trading-bots and that makes it really hard to figure out if new ppl get interested in uno or just old folks that dont wanna leave a sinking (?) ship :/




The price is definitely being controlled by bots.  After carefully watching for the past month, I have a theory.  Someone is trying to buy every single UNO they can.

I'd bet a BTC it is Wolong.  

There is also this, which I hesitate to share, since such things can be easily faked.  Take it with a grain of salt.  To me, it rings true and describes the market activity we are currently witnessing.  http://pastebin.com/sADSWK7Z

I don't know. I've read that pastebin post a few times. It just doesn't sound right. My gut says that post is fake (it is a "game of deception" afterall).  I think Wolong's gone.  He's not the only whale, but you don't need a Wolong size whale to move the small available supply of this coin. There are others that would love to buy up UNO.  There will only be 250k coins... it might be easy to get into 1k or even 2k coins, but above that, it's really hard to accumulate without dramatically forcing the price up.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that someone (or several people) want UNO, and bots are a convenient way to buy coins on drops without showing your hand in the order book.

I've closed the spread using the bots a few times. It's not a big trick to lead them up. If you're willing to do the work on microtrades you can lead them up close to the sell price, and then spoon feed them small trades.

2848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Network Hash and Diff is low on: April 13, 2014, 12:23:01 AM
You can help keep RON moving by keeping your Wallet open.

It's possible to CPU mine right now and quickly find blocks. No special hardware is needed.

Here's how to mine RON and keep the network moving until some more hash comes along.

Open Wallet > Help > Debug Window > Console

type:  Setgenerate true -1

Or use the ron.kryptochaos.com pool. It's working well.

Sit back and watch the RON pour in.

I hear you, Bro. It sucks to try to and out maneuver a bot.  It's not just UNO. They operate on any worthwhile currency (including bitcoin), because the Bot Ops don't want to miss out on the action.
Pay attention to volume. Whales come and go.  People tend to hold UNO longer term. It can be difficult to pickup a quantity of UNO for that reason. The coin is rapidly mining out, so the most of the action comes from traders these days rather than miners dumping.  It's a unique coin, best traded over the long term (imo).

Give Mintpal a shot. It's not too bad, we're trying to grow the market there. I don't see the bots operating there (yet) like I do on cryptsy.

Get Unobtanium listed on new altcoin ranking site.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=561516.0

Hi folks,

Today we are proud to announce the launch of CoinGecko.com -  a website that aims to rank cryptocurrencies based on quantitative measures such as:

    Liquidity
    Developer Activity
    Community


Coins are evaluated using our Gecko algorithm with a methodology that incorporates all the above key aspects. Coins are given a Gecko Score to be benchmarked and ranked against other cryptocurrencies.

Your Favorite Altcoin Not Listed Here?

Each week we will be adding a few new altcoins to this ranking. If you want to see your coin on this ranking earlier, drop us an email at hello@coingecko.com with some comments and feedback.

Thanks, Rojan. We can also email them at "hello at coingecko.com," which I just did.
2854  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unobtanium Info on: April 09, 2014, 01:50:02 AM
I have created a provably fair dice game:

http://cryptap.us/uno/dice

Note that the bets are quite limited at the moment due to my limited reserves. If you feel like donating to raise the limits you can find my UNO address at the bottom of the page.

If it eats you coins, PM me and if we can verify in the block chain I will refund.

Feedback is welcome.

I've added a coinbomb game to the above link. Please let me know of any issues.

Edit:
More dice games opened, some limits raised.

Don't you have enough of my UNO yet?? Now you want the rest of it? :-)
2855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Mintpal keeping UNO, for now. on: April 09, 2014, 12:45:49 AM

Nice job, UNO community!

Mintpal support says they will be keeping UNO on for "a little while yet."   I'm optimistic we'll keep this market.

---
Hi FK,

We agree with you and acknowledge that we were a little hasty in announcing the UNO removal. We added the coin and it never really got any volume. However once we announced the de-listing, a surprising number of UNO supporters came forward to ask that we keep the coin. Whilst we haven't yet made a formal announcement to that affect, we will be keeping UNO on for a little while yet.

Thanks

Kind Regards,
MintPal Jason

.. durrr this rock is valuable because it is shiny.
...while it will never be totally liquid, i think its positive features make it an excellent store of value.
some people would tell you not to invest in platinum.  ...

-

How about this:  Unobtanium CAN be a store of value, if the community starts to 'cover' it by maintaining it's value.  Not selling below a point, and always keeping enough BTC (or fiat, or PM, or...etc.) on-hand to buy below that point.


Interesting thought. I'm open to new ideas.  How might this work, in theory? Create a transparent entity (non-profit org?) to hold a commodity that would stake UNO to it?  UNO staked to the value of the commodity?  
It's actually a quite interesting concept the more I think of it. You could NEVER do this with DOGE because of unlimited mintage, but because UNO is virtually minted out already, it creates new possibilities like this. I know we're a little "out there" with this theoretical discussion, but how might this work with UNO?
2857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unobtanium Info & Discussion on: April 06, 2014, 12:54:21 AM
So fellers and lady fellers, how do we go about making UNO more desirable? Does anyone have a large stash of gold they are willing to start trading for UNO? If we had some sort of "standard" to trade uno against other than btc that could help (or hurt, i am a realist i suppose). Like potcoin, hopefully one day you will be able to exchange it for either pot or btc. What can we get with uno though. I am holding a bit of it so of course i want to see it succeed. That being said, without any real use for it, i don't ever foresee it becoming something of huge potential.

Just being rare is not enough. What else can we do? I like the precious metals thing for uno as i think that could help but i don't have a ton of money or precious metals to exchange. With the limited amount of uno it wouldn't be hard for someone to run the price up and keep it there, that is as long as there is some use for uno. Without utility it will always be this cycle of pump and dump. Yeah my opinion might be cynical but saying uno is undervalued simply because there is 80 btc for every 1 uno is stupid. It makes the community look basic.. durrr this rock is valuable because it is shiny. I can exchange those 80 btcs for a variety of things, what can i exchange my uno for? Btc. But who is going to ever wanna trade useful btc for useless uno? More so when the rewards drop to nothing. No one will mine the coin because there will be no reward, no one will be selling the coin, because it is too rare to trade, and no one will be buying the coin because there is nothing to do with it. I sure hope i am wrong here, but so far nothing has lead me to believe i am.

Can anyone tell me why i am wrong, please tell me i am wrong.

I can't tell you that you're wrong. You may be right.

It all sort of echos the great debate about Bitcoin vs the Alt Coins. I don't think that debate be resolved any time soon.  
Here's a conversion that sort of sums it up politely: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/24318/what-advantages-do-alt-coins-have-over-bitcoin
There are many, many other conversations raging right now  that are not nearly as polite, such as  "Operation Shitcoin cleanout."

As for UNO specifically, here's a thread by someone who likes UNO for rarity. I guess that's as good a reason as any, if that's what floats your boat. http://www.reddit.com/r/Unobtanium/comments/221s9e/why_buy_uno/   If a person doesn't like scarcity, then there's always Doge. Doge is cool, and great. Buy Doge if you want to.

I like UNO, and it's interesting how I'm always being asked to explain why.  It's pretty simple for me; I like how UNO trades.  I like that I can move this market.  I think that I can, at this moment, accumulate a full 1 or 2 or more percentage of this entire coin. The trade dynamics are more interesting to me.  BTC is so manipulated by huge whales, I'm just a plankton in the BTC sea.  In UNO, at times, I can be the whale, at least for awhile.

As for what can be done with UNO, I think there's absolutely no way to match the infrastructure of BTC; there are hundreds-of-millions of dollars in VC money and capital investment flowing into BTC, and there is no way ever for UNO to ever catch up, surpass, supplant, replace or "beat" Bitcoin.  But I don't think UNO has to "beat" Bitcoin.  Eventually that investment being made in Bitcoin can and will be leveraged to support altcoins with ecosystems of any size.  Why wouldn't it??  Exchanges understand that Alts = additional trades and revenue. In the same way that many payment processors let you select the currency you want to pay in, so will Altcoins be another crypto payment method.  It's already happening, and will continue to happen. Anyone can accept UNO as a payment method through Coinpayments.net right now.

Many think that Alts rob Bitcoin, but I respectfully disagree. Even though they are all built with and powered by essentially the same technology, the world doesn't just have one country, or one city.  The world has many fiat currencies when a single currency should do just fine, right? Nor do we all drive the same automobile. In the US at least, we can choose our own religeon (or not). We don't all go to one college. Why don't we all just eat soybeans -- they can meet all of our nutritional needs and we don't need any other food, right?

And so there are many altcoins. You can choose to live in a big coin (Bitcoin), in a medium sized coin (Litecoin), or an itty-bitty "small town" ecosystem like UNO, or even smaller if you wish (Aliencoin, market cap $1000?).  Some alts are better than others. Some have already failed, and others will fail soon, or be abandoned (just like cities).  Stay away from what you don't support or understand. It's your choice.  BTC may be the last coin standing, or perhaps it will fail miserably because of some exploited yet-unknown bug, or because something better comes along. Nobody knows the future.

So what can be done to make UNO attractive?  I ask myself this a lot, because I also want to see people interested in this coin. The basic things come to mind: basic services (mobile wallet), stronger community, a known road map, more frequent communication from the Dev.  There's lots that could be done.  That's lots of things that will happen anyway, just as a matter of leveraging the Bitcoin infrastructure.

As for me, I can enjoy trading UNO. It moves differently than Bitcoin.  If I want to spend my UNO, I can trade it for  Bitcoin, or Litecoin or USD, or something else. For me, the attraction of UNO is largely in its rarity.  I don't want to buy into a coin where supply is being dumped so quickly that it's diluting my investment. I know how many UNO there are, and I know that it is mining out fast.  That gives it certain trade characteristics, which appeals to me.  If I can do more with UNO, like spend it, that's cool. If not, that's ok, because I can trade it for something I can spend.  It doesn't really matter to me.  I don't really want to spend UNO anyway; I like to own it and hold it long term.
I own about 90% BTC and 10% UNO, and truly see them as complementary, and not at war.

Anyway, my two-cents. Sorry to ramble on so long.



2858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Mintpal on: April 05, 2014, 04:51:32 PM
I'm picking up cheap UNO on MintPal today.  You can get it way below Cryptsy buy orders, if you're patient.
Come outbid me for it. :-) 

I'm glad that trading is still up on MintPal. I'm hoping they quietly changed their mind about UNO.

Anyway, Mintpal trading is still up, so come on over and get some cheap UNO, and run up some volume there. It sure can't hurt our cause to convince them to keep their UNO market if you drop a some coin there.
2859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unobtanium Info & Discussion on: April 05, 2014, 04:46:35 PM

Great to see UNO getting some attention.  I like the "serious traders" branding. :-) So very true.

"Unobtanium has a cool name, and brands itself as the "cryptocurrency of serious traders." Only 250,000 Unobtainium units will ever be made, which will limit inflation over time. However, like all virtual currencies, this one is subject to fluctuations.

Thanks, Roy7. Guess we'll see.  I noticed about 20 mins ago that there were stuck transactions in my wallet. They've since cleared but it took a very long time. They're usually instantaneous. It probably took 15 mins to get first confirm.

The big flood of blocks makes the diff skyrocket, so real blocks that hold transactions get really slow. Can keep an eye on things at
