1.) Create a one stop shop to educate people on Ultracoin. Summarize the entire history of UTC, highlight the obstacles we have faced, demonstrate our ability to adapt and overcome, and most importantly prove why Ultracoin has the brightest future among all other cryptos. This has to be short, sweet, and to the point. Not like this post! It has to go where the most traffic is expected, where those seeking information will look first. And it has to be current and up to date to reflect our constant efforts. No more humble UTC, Ultracoin is the best and we would like to tell you about it.
How about an "Ultracoin Timeline" under the about section of Ultracoin.net? It could be semi-interactive, as in a visual timeline where pointing to different spots along the lines brings up a callout box with the date and quick details of the important event. Milestones should include: Coin conceptionalized, premine/IPO block generation, Release date, added exchange dates, major client updates, significant price checkmarks, app developments.... Many cypto inesters want to know the history of a coin (especially ones that fly under the radar as UTC sometimes does) and they want to see how quickly/substantially the coin's development is progressing in order to determine their long-term potentials. These just happen to be the great features Ultracoin and an easy, comprehensive visual history of the coin would be a perfect way to show that off! Bumface, DCGirl, others? What are your thoughts? |

Still expecting to see my orders from December (batch 1) on the created account by MinerSource ... We are at 8 days of shipping, and no trace of my orders... This is REALLY annoying and not funny anymore.
If you account hasn't been migrated yet, you can check the old site for reference: https://oldstore.minersource.net/accountShitty I know, but at least it's in some database. Lol, my order was from the very first site. It was never imported to the second site and they're claiming that all orders have been imported into the third (current) site but I still don't see anything. Worst customer experience in the world.. Sorry to hear about your experience with them, Goozman. Mine wasn't imported to the new(3rd site) for awhile, until maybe a couple weeks ago or so. Hopefully you don't have any issues with your order when it finally comes time to ship (whenever that is). As I posted a few pages back, I'm still waiting for my orders to show up as well. I ordered one X-3 in early December. How can it not be migrated to my new account yet? Are they working backwards through past orders or something? The real question it begs is this: If things like sending refunds, migrating accounts, migrating orders, etc. take this long and have this many complications, how long is it going to take for minersource to acquire our hardware from BA when they're ready (whole 'nother issue), and then ship all that hardware to customers, some of which are only on a paper trail somewhere, while setting up their own hosted rigs, and taking care of non-BA orders/customers, and the still pending refunds/support, and (god forbid) RMA issues, and.... well you see where I'm going with this. I'm thinking BA might not be the last link in a chain of delays. Thoughts? |

Okay, so who wants to explain coin control to me?  |

My account at Minersource.net is now migrated, but my account says "no orders placed". I ordered from them in December. Anyone else in this boat?

Hey peeps, I'm beginning the process of *slowly* migrating my mining rigs from AMD-based gpus to 750ti rigs (it's starting to get hot and humid here in the southeast US and it's time to start thinking low power/low heat). Just wondering if anyone mining with 750tis could share what their hashrates are for the current N-factor and any advice you have for configs. I've never mined CUDA style before. Thanks!

This is getting ridiculous. The last valid block found on pool.pm was found by one of my workers... over 9 hours ago. Only three blocks in the last 9 hours and all three orphaned. Similar results for the past few days.
It wasn't this bad until the last N-factor change. N-factor is across the board. So everyone's hashrate drops, as does difficulty, and the proportions should stay close to the same. But things definitely went to crap (pardon my french) on pool.pm, which until now, was still doing okay despite the Nitro situation. Is there something about the recent N-factor change that could have amplified the disproportional hashrate problem with Nitro?

This is the best I've gotten so far on my 7970s. Thanks a bunch! (Thanks 5 UTC to be exact  ) |

Holy cow, anyone else seeing the pump over at CT right now?

The Pool Issue:
For all those that seem to have pool issues. utc.pool.pm has no orphans as of right now and more hash rate there would simply speed up the finding of blocks. It seems to be the quiet stable pool that no one seems to want to move to. A big mining farm would do well on this pool.
I'm on this pool myself. Been there for over a month. The pool's "efficiency" has been a little low, but the orphan rates are fantastic. And the pool seems very reliable with no connection/latency issues. Some of the stats like net hashrate and estimated next diff are missing, but you can generally find those elsewhere without too much trouble. If you're looking for a solid pool, especially one reliable enough to "set it and forget it". utc.pool.pm is an excellent choice. |

I'll take everyones UTC the if the coin is garbage. Here's my UTC address. Thanks in advance. UgGUyw4fohAxYyMEFgJGDFUb4MeDAW7RZP

Wow, so much for the good vibes.
Day-traders provide volume movement which is necessary to attract and maintain a healthy market. Without them there would be no buy pressure and ZERO price movement aside from the "dumpers" who show up to sell (and drive price down). Also, the only true dumpers ARE, in fact, mostly miners as there hasn't been enough coins move through the market yet for large dumps to come from large buys. They are new coins hitting the market so must be largely from miners. And that's up to them.
I've personally been mining since day 1. I'm holding the large majority of them long-term. But i'm "day-trading" about 300-500 in small intervals. Just holding your UTC won't help the price go up anymore than not dumping. Steady, gradual volume is what we need to attract new buyers into our market.

Reflections on a fun day:
1. Typical frenzy when coins were added to Cryptsy. UTC did pretty well, no evidence of pre-deposited coins. Then all of the new coins crashed, as expected. I expect a gradual uptrend over the next few days.
2. Crypto-trade came back! SO nice to have a trollbox.
3. I now have coins on four exchanges. Need to do some consolidation, leaning towards just being on crypto-trade and cryptsy.
4. The price went down and the fighting started here. That does not make me happy.
5. If the volume on mintpal were checked right now, I would win! But since there are still hours to go on the contest, someone else will.
6. Facebook contest winner is picked tonight - hope everyone liked the page.
7. Did some playing around today with UTC and exchange APIs to figure out how to do pricing on the utc store. Would be a lot easier if UTC was on coinpayments.net.
Hope everyone stays positive - the future of UTC is very bright.
+1 I consider today a very successful coin launch for Cryptsy and the UTC community. I'm sure all of us were dreaming about winning the crypto lotto, but most of knew what to expect. This went well. It's not uncommon to see a coin open on Cryptsy and dump to an all-time low. We opened at a reasonable price, had a steady decline and now we appear to be stabilizing somewhere right between the pre-CT shutdown and the all-time low on Mintpal. In the process we drew in an enormous amount of publicity and new mining/investing power. Bottom line? The coin maintained composure which is a great sign of long-term stability. Remember, our focus isn't to be a pump-n-dump gimmick coin. We're here to make a better crypto currency that meets the demands of the this financial system revolution. Great work everyone. We have much to be proud of. |

To any new miners having setup issues:
1) Just a quick reminder that with scrypt-jane, you will be getting much lower hashrates compared to regular scrypt mining. For example, all of my various GPUs are currently hashing at approx. 20-25% of what they would on litecoin or doge. So for a 7870, I'm getting ~80 khs (instead of 350 like I did with litecoin) and my 7970 gets ~140-150 (instead of 700). This is normal and is a result of the "adaptive n-factor".
2) As N-factor increases over time, hashrates will become more dependent on memory resources. So settings in your .bat and .conf files like thread-concurrency and gpu mem clock as well as total system memory will become more important. Also, for most people, lowering intensity has been required after N-factor increases to avoid HW errors.
I know this won't help any single person with their setup, but hopefully this will point some new miners looking for answers in the right direction.

Ultracoin quiz: 24 hour volume = 605.1 BTC ...unless it's closest without going over (Bob Barker style ) in which case I say 1.0BTC, Bob. Don't forget to have your pets spayed or neutered. |

The community behind Ultracoin is worth an untold number of votes on any exchange! And we know Cryptsy (and others in the crypto world) will take notice. Keep up the great effort everyone! Let's not forget our focus: "To revolutionize the revolution that is crypto-currency". We're spamming twitter with "1000% increase-to-da-moon" posts, which are great, but take a minute to remind people why we are different: https://twitter.com/RA_Hooper/status/441687127424659456 |

I just dumped my worthless moon for cryptsy points. Sad, but I'll probably get a MUCH better return putting them towards UTC votes |

Has anyone gotten minerd or any other CPU miner (for pool mining) to work for UTC??? I've been fighting with a version of minerd I got off a yacoin thread but I'm having ZERO luck getting it to do anything. I'd like to start CPU mining, at least at the beginning of every n-factor change, to sort of benchmark how quickly we're moving to cpu-mining viability.

Would be about 130kh/s on scrypt jane at current UTC nfactor, and about 65kh/s in a couple days. Wow, I was asking about a trio of R7 260x vs a single 280x a few pages back, but it looks like the 750ti could be even better. I still suspect that having three separate budget cards with 2GB dedicated memory EACH will out perform a single faster card with 2 or 3GB as n-factor increases. But the real gem is the TDP. 60 WATTS? Are you kidding me? That thing doesn't even need a 6-pin power plug. I'm tempted to build a rig with a few and see how it goes... |

Question for some of you that may understand scrypt-jane better than I do:
Let's say I wanted to build two budget mining rigs. Considering base costs equal (mobo, memory, psu etc), I could build one rig with a single R9 280X and one rig with 3x R7 260X. So hashrate and price per card breaks down as follows:
RIG A) 1x 280x = 700-800 kh/s @ ~$450-500 (scrypt rate, only for comparison)
RIG B) 3x 260x = 600-700 kh/s @ ~$400-450
Obviously, the 3x 260x rig will consume a little more power and produce extra heat, I could see the key difference being the amount of memory available for each card-- 3GB for 1x 280x vs 6GB (2GB*3) for 3x 260x. If scrypt-jane increases the dependence on memory as time goes on, is it possible that RIG B would "out-mine" RIG A at some point in the future? I guess the point would be, if someone wanted a dedicated UTC (or whaterver SJ-coin) mining rig, would something like RIG B be a better long-term config than RIG A? Thanks for any input!
A better option might be 2 270X cards. About the same price as 1 280X with more hash rate and only slightly more power. And FYI you'll never come anywhere close to 700-800jkh/s with a 280X on scrypt-jane. 300kh/s +/- 20 is about all you'll get now and that will drop as the n-factor is raised. 2 270x's pulls 400k/h on jane at the current nfactor, thats what I'm running Right, unfortunately there's no easy way to cross-reference hashrates of different cards for given n-factors. I know scrypt-jane hashrates will be lower than scrypt (and continue decreasing inversely with n-factor), but I'm making the assumption that all cards will scale down relatively equally with increases in n-factor (say, -50%hashrate for every n+1) regardless of the card... except that if n-factor makes hashrate more dependent of memory, wouldn't a rig with more gddr memory resources available to the gpus have an advantage? If the idea is to one day reach an n-factor where CPU mining is viable (supposedly due to the amount of memory required at said n-factor), I would assume there's a middle ground where budget GPUs would become more economical as well. I could be terribly mis-guided though Anyone know how to estimate at what n-factor budget and/or cpu mining becomes realistic? And thanks for the replies! |
