I totally agree with you Paul.

@Steven; Thanks for your actions for the ultracoin community. It wasn't easy to stay strong in the UTC storm! As far as I can say; you're still welcome on this forum.

@Paul: thanks for interrupting in a positive way!

@Usukan: Thanks a lot for taking action and the lead for now!

Hi tsjaar

You obviously have not heard that Cryptsy is gone - never to return.  They are insolvent and under investigation on theft, fraud and money laundering maybe more.
Its extremely unlikely that anyone will get some or any of their coins back - including UTC, even if Cryptsy updated the UTC wallet.

...
Please don’t forget that Steven did very much for UTC, maybe not always the right things, but at least he did his best and invested a lot of private time and private money to the UTC project.
So to all : Because we don’t know the reasons why Steven left let’s not judge or condemn.

Let us forget the past and look to the future !

...
ULTRACOINS FOR SALE!!

WTS 150k UTC for 3 BTC
Willing to use escrow.

Thanks for the update Steven, we are still here. Keep up the good work!

well I don't know, but my coins are still trapped in the wallet I haven't upgraded since last spring. not to mention that I never had anywhere near that many. oh well.

hope you're all doing well.

... two weeks of 130% luck are not normal! ....

Our wallet maintenance is almost complete at cryptsy and the wallet should be back online this morning.

I want to apologize for how long it took and how long it has taken to get the wallet back online in the past.

This time in particular took a good deal of time but in the long run it will greatly reduce maintenance time. We moved to a new architecture to begin with and I wasted a few days trying to sync with the wrong repo since i never updated the db to reflect the repo change. Then afterwards we removed quite a bit of dust from the wallet that had slowed it down considerably and were making our withdrawals unreliable. We also removed all transactions from the wallet and rescanned through the blockchain to weed out and trouble transactions. The dust transactions took the majority of the time as it builds fee free transactions stacking dust transactions together into usable inputs. We could speed it up but would pay a considerable amount of fees to the network.

This should allow for faster deposits/withdrawals and maintenance windows in the future. I did notice there are still 3-5 withdrawals that have not been confirmed by the network which ill be resubmitting periodically over the next few days. To see if they get picked up before I remove and resend them. If your are the owner of one of these transactions feel free to email me at mullick@cryptsy.com and ill do my best to get it straightened out

Thank you for your patience and Ill do my best to keep any future maintenance windows as brief as possible

EDIT: Wallet is back online now

Development Update

I'm pleased to announce that we've been making significant progress with the up and coming update, with much of it coming in the last few weeks.  Our wallet is getting a bit of a face-lift.  Note, that this is just my area of responsibility.  Steven has a lot going on in his lane too.


The Wallet

• The new layout is more Android friendly, with a vertical menu at the left instead of at the top.
• The startup time has been reduced significantly, especially on the Android platform
• A "Staking" transaction type has been added and a new icon.  Stakes previously showed as "Generated".
• Security fixes.
• Wallet-side support for OneClick has been implemented.  A separate application will be published that will be kicked off by the wallet, with the necessary parameters passed from the wallet that will be used to configure the miners for anonymous mining.
• A new status bar icon has been added that gives estimated stake info and status messages that let you know that you have mature coin groups ready to stake (or not). Hopefully this will help take some of the mystery out of staking. (Thanks Fluttercoin)
• A new alert key has been generated and implemented for main-net.  We'll be able to use the alert feature to tell investors to update their wallet to the latest version should an update be necessary at any point in the future.
• The minimum required protocol has been raised to the current wallet version (70056).
• All the new updates are currently in the dev branch of the Git repository.  After I'm satisfied with testing, we'll publish new packages for Windows, OSX, Linux and Android.

OneClick

• Modified NOMP and the wallet to support Ultracoin's signing of submitted blockhashes.  This was necessary to get anonymous mining to work as it isn't supported with any Peercoin-like PoS coin that also signs submitted blockhashes.  The act of signing the block changes it's blockhash and NOMP tries to use the original blockhash to verify the submission, and as several have noticed, it fails.
• Currently iterates through all NVidia cards installed using the Cuda library.  It will be trivial to start the cards in batches of the same model type, using autotune, and aim them at the anonymous pool.
• The same algorithm that is at cfg.ultracoin.net has been implemented.  Now what is needed is the ADL calls to iterate through all installed ATI models, and a lookup table of specs (shaders, memory, etc) or to programmatically come up with them for use with the settings generator.

Miscellaneous infrastructure apps

• Updated ultracoin-seeder with the newest protocol version to be released (70057) and minimum accepted protocol version to the current wallet (70056).  Only those wallets on the latest fork will be considered working.
• Published Ultracoin ports of bitcoin-seeder and bitcoin-abe to my repository (https://github.com/Kracko).  You too can run your own seeder and block chain explorer.  And seriously, if you want to set up a seeder on a dedicated server and support the coin, let me know and I'll add yours to the list in the wallet.
• As mentioned above, anonymous mining with NOMP is now possible.  One, or possibly both, of the pools will be transitioned to anonymous mining.  From an operator standpoint, this is much more desirable as there is no balance of coins to protect from hackers as they are immediately issued after the block matures.

Future development plans in consideration

• Light wallet implementation.  This one is critical as it will greatly speed up synching time as the wallet will only care about transactions relating to it.  This one is huge, and will be my next priority after the OneClick implementation is done
• iOS wallet.  We have a new dev on the team who will be working on this one.
• A port of bitcoinj, fully supporting Proof of Stake and scrypt-jane.
• Identify stake blocks in the block explorer and represent them more clearly
• A voodoo doll of Ultradar to be passed around for your needling enjoyment.

UTC is back online at Cryptsy.

soon buy time. .my btc are ready.
