Hello everyone, thanks for your patience. It's been a very hectic and exciting time for our UR team around the globe.

Here are some updates:


UR MONEY APP
The last adjustments are being made to the app now. We are hoping to submit this afternoon to Apple and Google for review and reveal it in the next couple of days.


APP PRE-REGISTRATION
Pre-registration is happening right now on our website, and the pre-registrations are growing exponentially.  2600+ users from 81 different countries have pre-registered so far. If you haven't pre-registered yourself and you'd like to, you can do so here:  https://ur.international/?r=zXnDQ


UR FOR MINERS
Miners continue to find a ready market for their UR. In the last 24 hours, over 90,000 UR have been sold on Cryptopia, and UR has the 3rd highest 24 hour volume in terms of BTC at the present time. The price of UR has fluctuated but has continued to generally climb in BTC price despite the increasing BTC valuation over the last few days. We are very happy that our miners are doing well. UR block rewards will increase dramatically once the app is finally launched, since there is a 7 UR bonus for each new signup represented in each block.


YOUR QUESTIONS
We are going to try and keep up with the many great questions you've posed here, on slack, on twitter, and by email. Thanks in advance for your patience.


UR team

Thanks to LeChuckDE, zimbo123, Euroline, methylminer, and all the others who have set up mining pools.

We are getting lots of crypto newbies who want to know how to get into mining. Pls. let us know if you'd like us to put up some links to your pools on our website or other ways we can help you.

Best,

UR team

Regarding the block reward amount:

The reward is 7 plus 7x number of new signups in that block. The UR Money app is required for new signups, and it hasn't yet been cleared by Apple. We are hoping this takes place as soon as today, but it could take longer.

There are many users who have pre-registered to get the UR Money app when it releases, so, on that day and moving forward, block rewards will increase dramatically.

UR Team

The difficulty is adjusting to achieve an average block time of 15 secs.

Here's what is happening right now:

Blocks 73931 - 73936
Avg. Block Time: 18.67 sec
5 distinct miners won those 6 blocks.

So it looks like there are a good mix of miners and that the block time is in line.

Also, the number of miners has increased over the past 3-4 days as the price for UR has increased between 500% and 1800% on the exchange. They are selling UR and there seems to be a healthy early market. Another indication of interest in UR: UR is ranked 2nd out of 100+ currencies in terms of trade volume on Cryptopia (a small exchange). It has been in the top spots for 4 days.

We hope to see these trends continue, of course.

UR team

To all UR miners and future users:

Please ask Poloniex to include UR by visiting the following link and filling out the form: https://poloniex.com/coinRequest
To make it easier for you to fill out, we’ve listed some answers to the basic questions on the form:

Q: What is the name of the coin?
A: UR

Q: What is the coin’s symbol?
A: UR

Q: Please link to the announcement page.
A: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1650063

Q: If the coin has a website, please link it here.
A: https://www.ur.international

Q: If the coin has a block explorer, please link it here.
A: http://explorer.ur.technology

Q: Please explain why you would like to see this coin added to the exchange.
[Answer this In your own words.]

Q: If this coin has any significant innovations over other coins, please elaborate on them here.
[Answer this In your own words, but some possible things to mention are 1) unique distribution model, 2) inflation/deflation protection, 3) easy-to-use mobile app]

You could run gur locally with rpc parameters (see below) and then download and run ethminer and point it to http://localhost:9595.

UPDATE: the debugging for the beta release of the UR Money app is almost complete.

You can now begin signing up to be a beta tester and referring people to earn UR. The referral system is now on our website at https://ur.international/?r=xZfIn

For the 104 beta testers already signed up: There is no need to re-refer people you have already referred to the beta test. Your UR earnings are saved and will be added to your wallet once you download the app when it's released. If you would like to refer additional users pls. use the referral system on the https://ur.international/?r=xZfIn website.

For new beta testers who want to start building up UR referral earnings: Pls enter "UR team" in the space marked "Who referred you". Pls. make sure that anyone you refer uses an automated referral code generated by the system on the website AND, preferably, includes your name, twitter or bitcointalk handle in the "who referred you" section so that we can make sure you get all the UR that is coming to you.

Users from any country are free to register for the beta and reserve a spot in line. However, the UR Money app will be released first in the USA. We may make changes to this online form going forward so that we capture information we need to insure that people are entered into the referral chain properly.

1. Links are now fixed. Thanks for the heads-up
2. The total supply is based on the number of economic actors (humans) who prove their identities and choose to join the community... so it's not pre-determined. This is one of the major innovations of UR that helps solve deflationary or inflationary tendencies of other currencies.  See announcement above for more detail and https://ur.international/2016/10/17/how-does-the-ur-airdrop-work/ for more information.

UPDATE: We will fix this problem soon to support "ur" instead of "ether". In the meantime, please use "ether" instead of "ur" when calling toWei() and fromWei()

thanks for the heads up... we are investigating and will get back to you with an update

Yes, we're pleased to be listed so quickly. Thanks cryptopia!

Thank you!

Yes, "true" means you've started to mine.

To switch to mainnet, just call gur without the networkid or bootnodes params.

You may want to join a pool to actually get blocks. You could try http://ur.acc-pool.pw/

Ok, you're making progress. gur works exactly like Ethereum's geth. You need to specify the urbase (aka 'etherbase'). In the console, you can run


and on the command line you can use or
You will need to create an account first and use it's address in place of the "123" above.

Ok, first I suggest you start over by removing all the contents of the UR data directory (should be in %APPDATA%\UR).

Next, to run against devnet, try this:


Please let me know how that works.

Yes, we are prepared. Launching in 2 hours.

Can you try running it with --jitvm=false ? Also, are you running with the devnet options?  Can you send me the full command you are running with all the command-line options?

INCENTIVES:

No, we don't recommend that you trust anyone or any entity until they've earned your trust. Instead, you should trust incentives. What would be the greater incentive for UR Technology? Dumping on an exchange to get a short-term windfall, but undermining the entire currency in a matter of hours? OR, being truly transparent in order to enjoy the long-term economic and intrinsically satisfying benefits of supporting the currency? You are free to decide.

Either way, your interests may be served by becoming an early adopter. Those people (miners and everyday users) inclined not to trust will likely decide to sell their UR as quickly as they can. Those who are on board with the project will decide their interests are better served by staying the course and even buying the doubters' UR at a bargain price. Either way, it makes sense to be an early adopter--to mine and collect referral rewards.

You don't have to trust us yet--TRUST INCENTIVES.
