Description: UFRRepo will be a website for UFR links with categories, file ratings, user ratings, comments and much more. First main goal is end user protection.
Link: None Given (under development)
Developer Name: Ian D.
Additional Information: Problem: Anyone could name the file for example MySongBlaBla and share the link everywhere. But no one can guarantee that the file actually IS MySongBlaBla, until someone decrypt it (and spend some UFR). What if the file after decryption is something different than described (something worthless)? Also, publisher can register another user name and fool people again and again.
Solution: We will implement the system in which a publisher on UFRRepo will be forced to be honest (or he/she will be losing money). Also, it will be almost free to publish links for every user (until everything is fine).
Second main goal: In the future, we are planning to solve another problem of Upfiring (sharing decryption key for free after download/decryption)

Good luck to all participants! Feel free to create separate topics on this forum to discuss the projects listed here.

The UFR/ETH and UFR/BTC markets are live on coss.io!

https://exchange.coss.io/exchange/ufr-btc
https://exchange.coss.io/exchange/ufr-eth

UFR trading promo is live on COSS as well. 280k UFR distributed between the top 50 traders on COSS's UFR markets from now until June 30th.

Mid-May update here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Upfiring/comments/8l9dwi/midmay_development_update_seeder_smart_contracts/

We are almost ready to release the first version of the application - a lot of development milestones have been reached. The application currently has the ability to encrypt and generate Upfiring files with built-in price information (in UFR), and an example of one of these files can be found in the update above. If you are participating in the bounty campaign and developing a project, you can use the file as an example of what people will be seeding on the Upfiring network after release.

Any idea why ColossusCoinXT recently rose in value so much?

Also yes, I highly recommend Upfiring (UFR).

We currently have 12 entries to the campaign. Top prize is 20,000 UFR (~$4000 USD worth at current trading prices). Make sure to fill out the sign-up form if you are participating.

New source code release and development update as we get closer to Upfiring v1.0.0: https://www.reddit.com/r/Upfiring/comments/8bjrbc/upfiring_development_update_and_new_source_code/

Purpose

Upfiring communities are sites, applications, and social networks where Upfiring links will be shared. Content creators can benefit from communities by sharing their links for other users to download, allowing them to earn UFR and increase the number of seeders on their file. The main goal of an Upfiring community should be to empower content creators and sharers, though with this campaign developers are encouraged to build anything they feel would help to expand the community or enhance the Upfiring application.

This bounty campaign gives developers a chance to contribute directly to the widespread adoption of Upfiring. In addition, all projects — especially those that do well in voting — will benefit from promotion and attention from the community, making it easy for solid projects to gain a user base.

_____________________________


What types of projects qualify for the Upfiring Bounty Campaign?

Any development that aims to build or enhance the Upfiring community or Upfiring application. Example ideas are: a website or mobile app that allow content creators to share Upfiring links, a decentralized or anonymous chat group, a forum or message board, a decentralized exchange solely meant for buying/selling UFR, smart contract development, or any other type of media platform. Communities can also be established on relevant existing sites where we currently do not have a presence. If you have a question whether your idea or project qualifies, post in this thread or email support@upfiring.com.

_____________________________

Project Completion

Projects do not need to be fully completed by the deadline or voting period. If the community feels the project is showing solid progress and wants to support its continued development, it will likely do well in voting.

_____________________________

Working with others

Working with others is allowed and encouraged. If this is the case, please submit a UFR address for each member on the public voting submission form.

This is a community-driven bounty campaign - Upfiring is not responsible for the events or actions of others in regards to the community projects developed for this campaign.

Upfiring also reserves the right to change the rules, regulations, timeline, and rewards of the bounty campaign if necessary at any time without prior notice.

Hello everybody,

Major update here. We have released the current source code with several major features in tact like Upfiring encrypted-file creation, price-setting and uploading. For safety reasons, we have disabled the wallet functionality until it is tested further:

The Upfiring dApp - End of March Update.
Full source code and UI/UX release, updated roadmap, bounty campaign announcement and more.

https://medium.com/@Upfiring/the-upfiring-dapp-end-of-march-update-8d2713e805bb

The link should be working on their site again. In addition, a screenshot can be found on our subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Upfiring/comments/838244/ufr_airdrop_details_on_rightbtc/

Announcement

UFR is now listed on RightBTC for trading with UFR/BTC and UFR/ETH markets! In addition, 180,000 UFR will be airdropped to users at the end of the month (500 UFR per user) on RightBTC.

UFR Airdrop Details: https://www.rightbtc.com/#!/news/detail/187
RightBTC Exchange: https://www.rightbtc.com/#!/trade

We were essentially given that time frame (10 days) regarding a new exchange listing when we made that post. The exchange, for whatever reason, hasn't listed us yet and has been slow to respond to emails (like nearly all exchanges right now). I suspect it will happen this upcoming week or we may send a tweet their way to see if they can update us.

We have also been in communication with a variety of other exchanges (some major ones in the top 20 by daily volume) and will be following up with them after the application is released in late Q1.

We have several unofficial telegram groups (I believe @Upfiring and @UpfiringCommunity, but double check that on reddit). We are planning on establishing an official telegram channel when we are closer to the application release date.

Yep. We are very active on reddit and actively answer questions/run the community there: https://www.reddit.com/r/upfiring

Here's our Medium update from the past week talking about what we have planned for the rest of Q1 and beyond: https://hackernoon.com/the-upfiring-dapp-mid-january-2018-update-2fe0d4d3a6e6

I'll try to stop by here more often and answer questions/participate in the discussion.

UFR/BTC and UFR/LTC markets are now officially live on Cryptopia!

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=UFR_BTC

Any update as to when you will resume adding new coins to the exchange?

We (Upfiring/UFR) recently submitted a listing request via Paytopia and I know there are a few others in the queue as well.

Yes, we are working on it. Incentivizing file-sharing/seeding using UFR is the cornerstone of the project. We are currently in the "heavy development" phase. More information can be found in the recent Medium post:
