As mentioned in the ANN thread:

In Ubiq we wanted to program in the option of staying with Proof of Work indefinitely should it prove to be viable long term.  There are many aspects we will consider in terms of viability such as overall health of the Proof of Work network, and coin distribution, but ultimately we foresee a future where Ubiq may run as a Proof of Work network forever.  With Ubiq we plan on running a Proof of Work network for a minimum of 1 year before considering and evaluating any switch to a Proof of Stake scheme.

Thanks wariner.

Hmm, I've tested stratum on a few pools. Works fine.

Maybe jump on Ubiq Slack and ask the #ubiq-miners channel.

The $LOOT has been buried and the $UBQ treasure hunt starts in < 8 hrs

Details will be published on The Ubiq Report blog

Indeed JBS was a very good staking network. The value has transferred over to the upgraded Ubiq smart contract platform so this is the best for all involved (past, present and future).

Thank you for your kind words and glad we could get everything squared away!

Really cool Ubiq event with the help of @coin_artist coming up. Looking forward to seeing it unfold.

Ubiq offers an alternative. Some of this is covered in the ANN thread and some old posts but I will mention some differentiators.

Some changes:

• No ICO.
• Implemented monetary policy. No other ETH fork has an implemented monetary policy.
• ETH will go PoS ASAP "this year". EXP has PoS in their roadmap for Q2 2017. Ubiq has the option of being PoW forever with the implemented monetary polity.
• No premine.
• No bad blood history with the DAO Hardfork.
• 88 second block time so far less blockchain bloat.  There is still the option for lightning networks which will increase transaction capacity.
• Flux difficulty algorithm. This makes it work very well for PoW mining and the longer block time.
• Established community. Over 1000 people in Ubiq Slack.

We will forge our own path and ecosystem.  Everyone is welcome.

Update — February 28, 2017

One month ago, the Ubiq network was launched on Chinese New Year January 28th, 2017. It’s only been a month but a lot has happened. Here are some recent updates.

Novaexchange voting and exchange listing

This has gone very well and Ubiq successfully achieved 250 out of 250 required votes in a bit over 1 week. This is remarkable as many coins on that Voting list have languished for months with very few votes. Many coins also get disqualified for rigging the vote process. We are grateful that we have a diverse and committed community.

Mine with Claymore miner software

Block 30,000 has kicked in and you can now mine with Claymore miner. Every 30 thousand blocks represents an “epoch” in the Dagger Hashimoto mining algorithm. When this switches over the DAG size increases. Importantly, Claymore miner didn’t support Epoch 0 but now we are fully supported!
This allows miners to mine solo with Claymore or dual mine Ubiq and another coin such as Decred, Sia, LBRY or Pascal.

Telegram group

There have been discussions about a possible Telegram group. Out viewpoint is that there can be one made but it would need to be run unofficially. We already have a strong real time chat presence with Slack but we aren’t against having a Telegram channel as we understand lots of people prefer it.

Fast chain syncing

I took a look at supporting fast chain syncing (the “ — fast” flag) one night last week. This isn’t a crucial but a “nice to have feature” that only benefits initial sync. Having researched it and looked at the code, I realized it’s kinda tricky because it fetches and processes headers out of sequence. Ubiq is different because it inspects a past window of block headers when calculating difficulty so it essentially fails.
It comes down to it not being a quick fix to get this implemented. It would probably require changing the code to explicitly download all the headers first and then processing them.

Fusion GUI wallet

Our Fusion GUI wallet was recently released. Luke writes about it more in a blog post.
Dapps for on chain governance
One aspect of Ubiq that I will be focussing on is devising a plan for Dapps for on chain governance. These are planned to be primarily smart contract based as opposed to protocol based which would require a hard fork.
Some items of note:
Stake based voting
Bounties
Funding development
Proposals
Official statements

We have a lot more things to cover over time.

Thanks for following along.

uhuh, he sends me dm's every day about how he invented drum and bass and made love to the grateful dead every night on the tour bus. it's a weird situation that I just ignore.

he thinks I know him or something.

Trolls on this Bitcointalk thread

Just to recap:
We made a conscious decision to make this an unmoderated thread.  As such it is open to the public to act as they please so take anything you read from a random poster with a grain of salt.  The Ubiq team and community does not engage in using sock puppet Bitcointalk accounts.  There are pros and cons with this unmoderated approach but we maintain our viewpoint that we are a long term project and there will be short term and long term people involved with the coin.  We are primarily focussed on the long term participants.

The best place to interact with the community is Ubiq Slack.  Sign up at: http://slack.ubiqsmart.com/

Here is what you can do to counteract trolls.

1. Ignore them.
2. Report them to the Bitcointalk moderators. With enough reports from different people, the moderators will listen and delete their comments and/or ban their accounts.


After you Ignore a user it looks much more pleasant like this.


Unfortunately there are only so many shifts that a person can work at Walmart per week as a "Part Time Associate". This leaves certain individuals with a lot of time on their hands during the day.  As a group, we can do what we can to combat this.

Added to OP.

Novaexchange voting

We are currently listed on Novaexchange for voting (https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/).  You can vote once per day (switchover is Midnight GMT+1).

After a bit over 2 days of voting we currently have 82 out of 250 votes required.  We are aiming to have a second exchange by the end of the week so every vote counts!


Official blog

We have started a new blog at https://medium.com/the-ubiq-report/ that you can follow. Eventually the URL will be http://blog.ubiqsmart.com

Medium is a great platform as it allows us to publish a "publication" with multiple authors to aggregate content.

Don't forget to follow our blog!


We plan on putting out lots of updates.

Thanks! More announcements to come this week!

Thank you. This is beautiful.

Added pool and explorer to OP.

INTRODUCCIÓN

Después de 6 meses de pruebas públicas, la red Ubiq está lista para su lanzamiento. Estamos muy contentos de abrir la participación para todos los miembros en el desarrollo de Blockchain, la minería y el espacio financiero.

El 28 de enero de 2017 marcará el inicio de la nueva blockchain y la transferencia del valor de blockchain existente de Jumbucks a la blockchain Ubiq basada en Ethereum. La nueva cadena traerá muchas nuevas capacidades a través de contratos inteligentes, lo que nos dará una oportunidad mucho mayor para aplicaciones duraderas, manteniendo el valor existente y la estabilidad de un mercado establecido con 3  años de edad.

El equipo de desarrollo de Ubiq está comprometido a proporcionar la plataforma más estable, flexible y sin errores, disponible para el desarrollo de aplicaciones a nivel empresarial. Esto se logró mediante una extensa observación, pruebas y mejoras a las diversas tecnologías de blockchain actualmente disponibles.


LANZAMIENTO DE LA RED

Mercados cerrados

El 28 de enero de 2017 a las 12:01 am PST el mercado Jumbucks [JBS] estará cerrado en los Exchanges.

Creación de bloques de Snapshot y Génesis

Se tomará una instantánea al blockchain de Jumbucks con los saldos registrados para cada dirección JBS. El bloque Génesis se creará a partir de las direcciones reclamadas.

Las billeteras serán creadas y el código será publicado en Github.

Lanzamiento de la red

El 28 de enero de 2017 a las 12:00 PST se pondrá en marcha la red Ubiq [UBQ].

Lanzamiento posterior

El mercado Ubiq estará abierto en los exchanges la semana siguiente.

Cualquier Ubiq no reclamado se colocará en dirección multi-sig. Si ya has enviado a través del formulario de reclamo,  porfavor asegúrate de tener toda la información necesaria (claves y contraseña) para importar y desbloquear después del exchange. Si es necesario, puedes volver a enviar con la misma dirección de JBS, se utilizará el último envío verificado.

La vieja red de Jumbucks será considerada obsoleta y no soportada.


DETALLES TÉCNICOS

Ubiq se enorgullece de ser la primera bifurcación de Ethereum, que genera cambios de nivel de consenso en forma de un nuevo código.

El Algoritmo de Dificultad de Flujo es una de las innovaciones de la red Ubiq. Antes de Ubiq ha habido otras bifurcaciones Ethereum que fueron atacadas ya que no tenían un algoritmo de dificultad adecuado que fuese capaz de ajustarse dinámicamente a la tasa de hash.

A continuación podemos ver la curva de dificultad en la red Ubiq sobre los primeros 10.000 bloques con 3 secciones distintas.


La primera sección representa el algoritmo Digibyte Digishield originalmente portado que no funcionó en lo absoluto en una red de hashing grande. La segunda sección representa el algoritmo Digibyte Digishield con parámetros modificados que fue una mejora, pero aún no suficientemente bueno. La tercera sección del bloque 8,000 en adelante muestra el Algoritmo de Dificultad de Flux™ donde volvimos a la mesa de dibujo y diseñamos una nueva solución.

La nueva base de código permite dificultar el replanteo de cada bloque usando el Algoritmo de Dificultad de Flujo para lograr un promedio de tiempo de bloque de 88 segundos en el tiempo. El algoritmo reacciona a los cambios en el hashrate de cada bloque analizando las marcas de tiempo de las 2 horas anteriores o bloques.

La adición de la Exponentially Subjective Scoring (Puntuación Exponencialmente Subjetiva) es ahora un indicador opcional para servicios como exchanges y piscinas para calcular durante cualquier condición adversa de la red incluyendo bifurcaciones. Esta protección reduce exponencialmente la ventana, puede producirse una inversión doble, al mismo tiempo que proporciona un consenso sin fisuras de nodos en la cadena "más larga".

Con nuestra diseñada Política Monetaria, las recompensas en bloque comenzarán en 8 y disminuirán 1 año hasta que alcance un mínimo de 1 UBQ por bloque.

En Ubiq quisiéramos programar en la opción de permanecer con PoW indefinidamente si resulta ser viable a largo plazo. Hay muchos aspectos que consideraremos en términos de viabilidad como la salud general de la red de PoW y distribución de monedas, pero en última instancia preveemos un futuro donde Ubiq puede funcionar como una red de PoW para siempre. Con Ubiq planeamos ejecutar una red de prueba de trabajo por un mínimo de 1 año antes de considerar y evaluar cualquier cambio a un esquema PoS

Este esquema de recompensas monetarias y de bloques de minería está ilustrado en la siguiente tabla.



Más detalles y cambios:

• Algoritmo: Dagger Hashimoto
• Recompensa de bloque: 8 disminuyendo 1 año hasta 1 UBQ por bloque
• Objetivo de bloque: 88 segundos
• Puerto del servidor HTTP RPC: 8588
• Puerto del servidor Websocket RPC: 8589
• "Network listening port": 30388
• ID de red: 88
• Cadena de identificación: 8 "EIP 155 Replay Attack Protection compatible"
• Reducción de recompensas por los bloques pareados incluidos
• Bifurcado de la última Geth 1.5 que contiene todos los últimos EIPs
• Se han eliminado las referencias de código de la bifurcación DAO

MINADO

En el lanzamiento puede utilizar cualquier software de minería Etherereum disponible con la excepción de Claymore. Claymore estará disponible después de ~30 días una vez que la red alcance la Epoch 1 (Bloque 30,000).

Genoil: https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/110
Ethminer: https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum

Los tiempos de bloques más largos de Ubiq significan que el crecimiento del tamaño del DAG será mucho más lento, permitiendo que las tarjetas gráficas con 2 GB de RAM minen durante más de 6 años. En Ethereum las tarjetas gráficas de 2 GB quedaron obsoletas un poco más de un año después del lanzamiento, como se ve en la siguiente tabla.

Flux Difficulty Algorithm review and network recap

The version v1.5.10 hard fork activated on block 8000 with no issues. Thank you to pools, miners and users who upgraded in a timely manner.

Below we can see the current difficulty curve so far and we can see 3 distinct sections.


The first section represents the default Digibyte Digishield algorithm which did not fare well at all on a large network.  The second section represents the Digibyte Digishield algorithm with modified parameters which was an improvement but still not good enough.  Upon further inspection we also found that Digibyte Digishield was not working properly with Zcash either with very high difficulty fluctuations.  With the Flux Difficulty Algorithm™ we went back to the drawing board and designed a new solution.

The Flux Difficulty Algorithm is brand new code and is one of the innovations of the Ubiq network.  Prior to Ubiq there have been other Ethereum forks which were attacked as they did not have an adequate difficulty algorithm which was able to dynamically adjust to hash rate.

Below is the current snapshot of the network.


In the screenshot we can see that blocks are moving smoothly with a block time of 88.15 seconds and hash rate of 46.8 GH/s averaged out over the last 1000 blocks. There are currently 70 peers seen on the network in various geolocations around the world.

Bittrex market opening Wednesday, February 8th at 12pm PST

Ubiq balances have been populated and trading will commence on Bittrex on Wednesday, February 8th at 12pm PST.  The exchange wallet will be open prior with advanced notice so that you may deposit or withdraw Ubiq.  We will start off with 80 confirmations for deposits for security reasons as Ubiq is a new network.

Feel free to submit Ubiq as a candidate for listing on your favorite exchanges.

Thank you for your support.
