WE NEED THE UTC ANDROID WALLET!!!

It has been to the attention of the Ultracoin management team for some time that the pools http://ultracoins.info/, http://ultracoiners.info/ and http://www.ultracoinpool.info/ are not being run per our standards. This is why, after unanimous agreement, we have decided to demote these pools to unofficial status. It is important that infrastructure endorsed by the management team is top of the line and supported with a competent operator in charge. That is why we are hiring Kracko as a pool operator and full time developer for Ultracoin. It is no secret as to Kracko's achievements in the past month as partners with us, we have seen three new pools, including a multi-pool, support for Ultrablockparty, support for the old development pools and other technical developments behind the scenes. All three of Kracko's pools will now don official status, making four official pools including Ultrablockparty, our newest European pool. I have full faith in Kracko, his talents as a developer are truly impressive and his professionalism is impeccable, a rarity in the crypto world. I am very excited to have him on our team as he will be a tremendous player in the future of Ultracoin.
I ask at this time that everyone who is currently on an unofficial pool consider switching to utc.tumblingblock.com, utc2.tumblingblock.com or ultrablockparty.com for the following reasons:
* Due to resource restrictions on the old pool's, the orphan rate is higher for other pools. This is due to a bottleneck being created on the server that the old pools are hosted on. Spreading the hashrate will not only increase the security of the network, but it would also make sure other miner's, including new miner's, have a reason to mine Ultracoin.
* The new pools are much more secure than the old pool's and are always supported. If there is an issue on the new pools, rest assured that we can support them and fix issues as they arise. Our goal is to prevent issues before they ever even happen.
* We now have a European pool, Ultrablockparty.com, it is the only pool located in Amsterdam. This gives many users a much more efficient pool to mine on and also diversifies our pool's geographically.
* Our new pool's are blazing fast. Based on dedicated servers powered by highly efficient hardware including SSD's and high end Intel's, you can be sure that your hash is being processed as efficiently as possible.
* You will know your hash is being used correctly, by creating incentives to spread the hashrate, we will no longer see miners congregating on one pool. This way, you know that your contribution to the network is always a healthy one.
* More fee's go to the dev team, with our own proprietary pool's and support, less funds go into overhead and more goes to developments.
* Faster pool's allow the blockchain to load faster in wallets.
Pool's are the life blood of any crypto-currency, and that is why we are taking them seriously and only supporting the best pool's for Ultracoin. This way we can offer the community a consistent, high quality experience while mining. Please consider making the switch today.

Excellent News Steven!
You and the new management team have done a fantastic job rescuing UTC from the Death-by-FUD it was facing a couple of months ago. Well done.
It's great to hear about the new developer interest as well. UTC still needs to forge ahead with the UTC Wallet and Minecraft plug-in that were planned a long time ago.

I know we are all looking forward to 'Hashers United' and its a lot of work going into it by the management team which we all appreciate, but is there any development going on at present?. Also at I am staking even though I don't have the 'stake' box ticked? Is this a fault with the wallet?
Hello Pugman,
As far as developments, here is what I can tell you:
- Recently, we have had an overhaul of the pool's to make everything much more efficient, this has lead to less orphans and faster wallet synchronization as well as network had equalization. Plus the new multi-pool multi.tumblingblock.com, as well as the addition of two new pools, and more on the way. This is greatly important for network health, security, and good care taking of Ultracoin. Kracko and Thiago have been instrumental in this role, Kracko has shown outstanding professionalism and we should all thank him for his work thus far with Ultracoin.
- We also have development planned for an Android, iOS and Windows wallet. The problem with Scrypt-ChaCha is that it hard to code into a wallet, but our developer is looking into it and more details will be released once we can get the ball rolling, so stay tuned.
- The Ultracoin business directory site is 95% complete and once it is released will be a HUGE asset for gaining acceptance. In combination with the upcoming Ultracoin wallets and coinpayments this will give huge incentive for companies to accept Ultracoin, be a large part of our acceptance campaign, and make accepting Ultracoin a breeze. Speaking of acceptance, there are a few businesses that are going to start accepting Ultracoin that you will really want to SPEND your Ultracoin on, so stay tuned.
- b3da is working on an Ultracoin paper wallet that will be used for tips, which will allow you to tip waiters/waitresses, doormen, etc with Ultracoin and includes instructions on how to load and unload the UTC. This is an easy, fun and effective way to spread awareness of Ultracoin. b3da is also developing images, graphics, wallpaper, etc for Ultracoin and will all be included in a UTC marketing pack that will able to download on the website along with acceptance images, t-shirt files and marketing material files for anyone that wants to replicate them.
- There is 100,000+ UTC in development funds available for UTC, I will be heavily advertising this to developers at Hashers United and on the web for any developments we need, especially a Java Script developer for the MInecraft plugin.
@Pugman
Send me an e-mail describing the error and I will forward it to the management team to review with the wallet developer.

Steven@Ultracoin.netSteve, You've done a great job of staying on top of the communications and keeping people informed since the new 2.0 switch. It seemed like no matter what was going on before, the infighting and FUD kept driving UTC in the wrong direction. The new management team has definitely stepped it up and the future of UTC looks much better. Keep up the good work. |

Bravo guys!!!....now all we need is the price to return to that slow-burn climb to the moon. |
|
|

Oh this is epic! And long overdue, I might add. This is no pump either which makes it even more satisfying. Vive l'UTC!!!  |

Wallets working for me...minting my coins like a champ.  |

Hey Devs, Keep up the good work and stay motivated. UTC has been looking on a nice steady rise regardless of today's jump.
Are the miners jumping to UTC now that the Scrypt ASICS are finally starting to take their toll?

BTC Donation Address: 1Nhv4mg8sVZZFyc2jRZPPEdUGibpsvkVei Has it been determined who is speaking for UTC and that they're capable of putting together a solid presentation? The last thing the UTC community needs at the moment is a conference representative who thinks they can just step up to the conference mic and wing-it on the coin's behalf. We need an articulate, knowledgeable, UTC spokesperson to do our bidding here. |

Wait...wha...?...I thought UTC was done with the bitcointalk forums and yet...it returns. Well alrighty then...
Vive le Ultracoin!

hung over today and setting up my baby Zeus miners this weekend.
With the UTC multipool down where will you mine with them that will support UTC? We have two UTC pools. This pools have pool fee to help the dev team to pay for some costs. So always good to mine at one of them. But it is also good to mine at Nitro2... we want and need everybody to spread the hash ... Would it still be beneficial to have a solid multipools for UTC? I was looking around for all of the resources on github to piece one together on a VPS. but to be honest, my Linux skills are lacking. Any chance someone could just get the source code of the old UTC multipool and we could take it from there? That's probably asking too much I know. |

To all about the Multipool.
We just get today an message of the administrator of the multipool, Hayden,
from his message we can read he is not able to manage the multipool for longtime.
Please read the message below from Hayden ;
"....Hi All, Sorry about the delayed contact. The Army has just called me and I am now on an Aeroplane and will not be returning home for a few months. Sorry about this, it was unplanned. I will not be able to administer the multipool at all anymore. If you leave a message here I will try to get back to it when I get time but time in the army just doesnt exist...."
This means that i advice everybody to stop directly mining at the multipool and start mining at our UTC POOLS or even at NITRO2.
Remember in this how important it is to spread the hash among the pools !!!!
If we have more info we let you now a.s.a.p. !
Is this for real?!?!? I mean, seriously...... complete GARBAGE. No wonder UTC gets such a bad rep. Myself, and everyone else, had better be getting payouts for nearly a week of 100% hashing at the multipool, or I see little reason not to propagate the horrible rep that UTC so appropriately deserves. I give UTC a chance, and this is the result..... pitiful. Just out of curiosity, what kind of hardware/software does it take to run a multipool? |

Is anyone currently mining or considering mining with a Gridseed 80 Chip Blade miner? They seem pretty reasonably priced for 5.2mhz....heh...or it did anyway. It says mine Scrypt only so I'm assuming you can't mine x11 with it. The prices seems to range between $499 and $799 USD on ebay. http://zoomhash.com/products/gridseed-80-chip-blade-miner-5200khsJust curious if this is even worth buying anymore with much larger (and more expensive) Scrypt miners on the horizon? -Just curious. IMHO ebay prices are drastically over priced. Shop around. That link I put up there wasn't from eBay and it was the $499.00 site. The ones on eBay that you could "Buy Now" were more expensive for sure. Anyway, $100.00 per MH/s seems pretty reasonable for Scrypt mining and those GridSeeb miners seem to work as describes from most of the reviews I've read. |

From what I understnd bumface took off with ipo money and now everything is in disarray?
HAHAHAHAHA....ummmm NO. ABSOLUTELY FALSE....Move along everyone, nothing to read here. Dude dont start to be agressive, I was in utc way before(at least I dont remember you back from february). Notice the question mark at the end of the statement? If the asics are not here mining utc or multipool or helping the coin in any way then he took off in my eyes. Also where are the new devs, no communication from them since friday? Well Sir, for one, I'm not a "Dude", and my intention wasn't to be aggressive at all. This topic has been seriously hashed, re-hashed, over-hashed, and put to bed. It stirs up nothing but trolls who want to rain negativity down on the thread and spread FUD. I'm not accusing you of this at all, I'm just explaining the outcome of this particular topic. And by all means, forgive me for stepping on your UTC forum seniority. Since I only bought into UTC in it's 2nd week, I should definitely restrict my comments to hilarious bitcoin memes and pictures of my tits so not to disturb the UTC elders. Carry on. |

Ok, here is what I did Had 1 utc sent from cryptsy to my wallet..and it went through, shows in the chain and works flawlessly. So I must be in the right chain..otherwise that would not have worked. After that I sent the same 1 utc back to cryptsy..and guess what? The transaction is nowhere to be found in the chain and the coin is simply lost. http://ultracha.in/tx/ae28de5be88917f8cd7e9e2c183047a500f7bc3351bb95daf54904914104a2fbThis is the tx id after sending it back..it wont show in the chain and of course, will not be credited on cryptsy. c0d16bb8458afe9d2ebd1e31c9fe7fc2eec242d07a617d4a8008bc28497eaa09 Simply put: I am synced with the correct blockchain, can get utc sent to my wallet with no issues whatsoever...but sending them seems to be the problem. I guess one cannot "partially fork" so I am at a loss here. I even erased the wallet and re downloaded everything to no avail. I withdrew about 2500 UTC from Cryptsy this afternoon and it arrived in my wallet after a few minutes. I tried to withdrawl a smaller amount from Mintpal and even though it cleared the usual withdrawal confirmations successfully after more than 4 hours they haven't arrived. Mintpal usually has the fastest withdrawal transactions so this is very unusual. The statement on the Mintpal site about their Vericoin attack includes the info below so I'm not surprised that they haven't arrived: Update from MintPal
As it stands at the moment the following applies:
1) blah blah blah about Vericoin
2) We are currently processing withdrawals for all other coins.
As I'm sure you will appreciate, our support channels will most likely be very busy over the coming hours/days so please bear with us.

I strongly believe that we as a community should stick together, one way of doing this is following each other on social media my Twitter is @Myththegod please follow me if you have anything to do with Ultracoin I will follow back. No negative people only people who believe in this coin as I still do.
+1 I agree, UTC is going to Rise Above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHR-rzUjCzUNow we just need to get Henry Rollins to promote UTC. |

Note that your wallet is not encrypted - that's usually a good idea so you dont lose your coins Can someone explain this? 4 deposits of 0.00 to no address showing up in my wallet?  Someone should write something up about the wallet UI and how the POS and minting are setup and displayed. At first glance, those mysterious 0.00 transaction records don't help either. If you double click on the transaction record you can see how many UTC you received but there there's this explanation at the bottom: Staked coins must wait 520 blocks before they can return to balance and be spent. When you generated this proof-of-stake block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, it will change to "not accepted" and not be a valid stake. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a proof-of-stake block within a few seconds of yours. It's all rather confusing because your Wallet has a balance and for the most part the Stake is always showing 0.00 even with the Enable Stake Minting checkbox checked. So how you do even know what your current stake is? Is it the wallet balance? At one point I looked at my wallet and there was a Stake balance and then I saw the transaction records, so I assumed it had moved coins from the wallet balance to the Stake and was processing them because they all ended up back in my wallet balance with the additional POS payout coins. |

when the minecraft thing is made is there a minecraft website/forum where we can tell the users about it? create a bit of a storm? Hopefully this will make UTC attractive to buyers again and make people want to buy some. Currently this week we are only getting £300 per day in volume. So body wants to buy UTC so we need to be "sexy" again.
If we make a huge fuzz about it hopefully we can get $100k in volumes again
+1 That's a good idea. we might actually discover some other ways to integrate UTC as well. Never hurts to talk to your audience. |
