Very solid ANN, I'm excited to see an actual implementation of segwit and the LN since it looks like we likely won't get that on Bitcoin for a spell. I was one of the original ICO investors in VIA--it's nice to see this project under the helm of better leadership, and moving beyond its tainted past. Excited to watch Romano work!

Why is it scam?

The guy is clearly a troll. look at his reply to you, he edited your question to say "shadowcash."  Just click that "ignore" button and move on Smiley

Under 500 more blocks until 30,000 blocks, when the Claymore miner, and dual mining will be available!

jyap what do you think of these for a new poker chip design?




Awesome, sign me up for an order!

How much would one need to have donated to have the 300k XEL for a masternode?

Approx 1.5 btc at initial ICO last Feb. would put you at around 300k XEL if my math is correct.


Thatīs about 1 or 2 guys  Grin

Lots of people are holding 300k+ XEL, and additional interested parties will soon be able to acquire their own. While not committing to it just yet as the details are still being fleshed out, I am definitely interested in the prospect of running a MN.

although yobit is also an option.

Seriously you prefer yobit over nova or cryptopia?

Yobit is notorious for being a sleazy exchange.

^this.  Also, while some of the smaller exchanges have impressive volume (yobit), this is largely due to fake volume. Which while attractive to traders, isn't indicative of a large an interested userbase, which is what I believe the goal of getting XEL on an exchange is. Actual additional fundamental investors in the project.  And yes, as stated Poloniex would be optimal, but good luck with that.

As far as I know Bittrex does not take a "bribe" to add a coin. They do, however, sometimes charge a fee for legal costs if they think the coin could have regulatory issues. One of main flags for this is are coins with a focus on gambling (since Bittrex is licensed in the USA), or ICOs that were funded elsewhere, as they wish to ensure the coin isn't a security, et cetera. Anyway, not fan boying for any one exchange, Just pointing out some options the community and community leaders could pursue, and noting that some of the exchange addition requests have to be led by a community leader/dev. 

Regardless, while I think getting on an exchange eventually will help grow and strengthen our community, it is nice to see the devs focused on the actual programming work at hand.

Hey all, I've been quiet in this thread thus far (I haven't a very technical skilset), but donated at the start of the project and have been thrilled watching all the progress and updates to the project over the past several months.  There was some talk earlier in the thread about getting added to trading exchanges, which I think is an important aspect of building a strong community, as it facilitates new interested parties getting involved in the project.

While I would love for XEL to get on Poloniex.com (widely viewed as the most prominent altcoin exchange), they are pretty random with they aren't very clear on what they look for in their coin additions, so I wouldn't count on it, at least not at launch. But it cannot hurt for us to submit coin addition requests: https://temp.poloniex.com/coinRequest

I think our best bet would be to get added on Bittrex.com. Unfortunately they are pretty stringent with requesting information from the developers of a coin before adding it, namely due to the fact that they want a point of contact if they have any issues with the chain, et cetera. Here is more information on the Bittrex.com addition requirements: https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202583854-Submitting-a-Coin-to-Bittrex.

https://novaexchange.com, and https://www.cryptopia.co.nz are two other exchanges that might expose us to a wider userbase, though they are not as established as the two listed above.


Cheers to the devs doing all the great work on the project!

Lol, good lord man, give it a rest. If you have JBS that weren't swapped to Ubiq, just sign a message from your JBS address like everybody else did. Stop being so lazy, and just sign a message from your JBS address.  Otherwise this is just you lying and begging for coins with no proof. Reported for begging on this thread.

Anyway, I've said my piece. Not going to dignify the 2 idiots above me with continued discourse. I'm excited to watch Ubiq grow, and see the enterprise applications and partnerships take shape throughout the course of 2017.

Angry SCAM1 + SCAM 2 + SCAM 3 = UBIQ SCAM Angry

the accusation being that the Sarcoin company is pumping Ubiq?  Thing is, you can't prove that somebody isn't pumping something. But knowing all the Ubiq devs for several years, I can say this isn't the case.

I imagine that Luke will address this if he sees fit, but fwiw, here's what I understand from having talked to Luke in the past. Sarcoin is an MLM, that's never been a secret (to be clear, an MLM is different than a ponzi). The company was working with GRC, but the spanish guys weren't too savvy about crypto scammers and I guess the GRC devs were kinda' sketch. So they distanced themselves from that, started SAR, let people still holding GRC trade out for SAR, and then hired Luke since Luke actually knows shit about crypto.

Luke gets to travel a lot for work, and naturally when he does so for crypto conferences, he brings up Ubiq as well. Personally, I only see this as a perk, as it spreads awareness of Ubiq to a lot of foreign markets. I've been following Julian and Luke's work on JBS/UBQ for 3+ years and can guarantee (yeah, I know that guarantees from anonymous internet strangers aren't worth much) that it's not a "scam" (that word gets thrown around far too much). 

Also, while I'm logged into the cesspit that is Bitcointalk, Gembitz is just a spammy fuck. Anybody who has done their due diligence knows he's not affiliated with the Ubiq devs or community whatsoever. In fact, he's banned from our Slack community for harassment, lying, attempted extortion, and (of course) spamming.  You can see here he pulled a similar strategy with moneypot/bustabit, trying to extort them by being annoying and lying.

Bitcointalk is something of a necessary evil, and while I commend the Ubiq devs for running an unmoderated thread, it's unfortunate to see spammers take advantage of that. The best place to learn more about Ubiq, the community, the devs, and projects in the pipeline check out ubiqsmart.com, or join our slack community of 950+ members and start a conversation Smiley

While I'm not a member of the Ubiq team (just a member of the Ubiq community), I'm always glad to answer any DMs on Twitter also: https://twitter.com/Sicarious_

obvious technic to keep the hype on thread to sell off market to every noob at 30k

I lost 2 day mining this coin I think

If ubiq is that serious,kick these pumper from thread  Smiley



This is an unmodded thread, mate.
If it would be modded, fagbitz would be the only poster making conversations between his own alts.

The point of modding is to remove spammy posts. The downside being, censorship. so it's a tradeoff. Anyway, your post seems worded backwards.

this thread is a shit storm of shitty marketing...
at this point it looks like a complete scam.
my legitimate question asked at least 5 times was completely ignored by so called "devs" whoever they may be.
gui wallet failed to materialize, although there were some promises and even pictures of something which looked like Mist in different colors.
I'd be really surprised if I'll be able to get back even my electricity costs.

this is how it looks from my perspective:


 


Hey mate, I don't really want to dig back through 10 pages of gembitz talking to find your question, but if you reply with it to this post, I'd be glad to answer it. Or join our slack and find a dozen people willing to answer Smiley

slack.ubiqsmart.com

The developers of Ubiq opted to go with an unmoderated thread, and while I commend them for this decision, it does have obvious trade offs as well. Anyway, don't judge a coin based off the worst of its shills, because those are just traders who jump from coin to coin. Ubiq's community is awesome, it's simply much better reflected by our slack, rather than an unmoderated announcement thread on Bitcointalk.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][UBQ] Ubiq - Smart Contracts For An Automated World on: February 07, 2017, 05:25:35 PM
ok so lets stay real,ubiq is cool,I love it,but you guys should leave drugs,this coin is not like zcash at all lol

Its just a mix of jumbuck + eth tech copy then you have perfect copy coin

What ubiq have unique?

Please examine the code and point out what portion of it is mixed in from "Jumbucks tech"
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][UBQ] Ubiq - Smart Contracts For An Automated World on: February 02, 2017, 11:46:40 PM
^please list as promised before novaexchange does ..lol  Roll Eyes

There's not a rush for the market to open on Bittrex, mate. Besides, the devs initially said "at least three days," meaning it wouldn't be before then. It hasn't even been a week yet, lol, we'll get on Bittrex soon enough. I'd much rather the devs have all the code optimizations in first anyway. That's why i'm invested in Ubiq, and mining it. Because it's a long-term project, not just some flash in the pan shit to dump on exchange add.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][UBQ] Ubiq - Smart Contracts For An Automated World on: January 28, 2017, 09:26:24 PM
pretty much pointless to mine now.

27 mh will net you about 7 coins a day and that number is quickly dropping.

There will be 36 MILLION coins available to trade on the exchanges on opening day.

If the price is 5 cents per ubq then people made profit and can dump all the way to 3.5 cents per coin.

Most are just looking for profit so anything above what they bought it for will be dumped.


Eh, pretty sure if that was the case people would've sold off the market pre-swap. The market was super strong all the way until the market closed. Ubiq is a vastly different coin than Jumbucks, with different tech, different prospects, and different development plans.  I'm keeping an open mind, and am in this for the long haul.

i wonder if i find any share with only one gpu card

I just have 2 cards, but I'm going to be giving it a shot as well Smiley  Congrats on the launch, everybody!
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][UBQ] Ubiq - Smart Contracts For An Automated World on: January 25, 2017, 02:04:57 AM
Its me Sulfurtank. Dont u think ur big assed and well-boobed smart contracts have become obsolete and should be replaced with something else? U can introduce a dumb contract to model a new type of network infrastructure and make money off it. Develop it urself and let people know its urs, thereby unique creation that no one else can copy or replicate into less popular project, as such u will succeed as dumbass asset maker, but never copy the work of others if u dont wanna be put behind bars.

the bedrock of open source development is taking previous work and improving it.

Monetary Policy in Ubiq

One of the main defining aspects of Bitcoin is its monetary policy (also described as inflation control) and how it has programmed in block halvings roughly every 4 years.  This serves to incentivize early participation in the network and attempts to simulate scarcity and a diminishing supply.  Thus far this has worked out well for Bitcoin but there are concerns that this may not work out in future with incentivized rewards per block approaching 0.

Ethereum on the other hand was designed with different aspects in mind.  Their initial distribution was largely a premine as well as coins distributed through an ICO process.  60 million ETH went to the ICO buyers and 12 million were premined for the developers[1].  As such, the monetary policy during the Proof of Work period wasn't defined and we have the situation where a static 5 ETH is mined every 14 second block[2] (not including rewards for Uncles).  The promise here is that Ethereum would be moving to a Proof of Stake model where the coin inflation and incentive model for the network would change.

If we run some rough calculations, Block 0 generated on July 30th, 2015.  Current coin supply stands at 88,138,955.03 ETHER so roughly 16,138,955.0 ETHER has been mined via Proof of Work in the past 1.48 years.

Below is a table which outlines this relative inflation rate should Proof of Work continue forever (disregarding the switch to Proof of Stake and Difficulty Bomb which will slow block times).


Here we can see the criticisms of Ethereum where it is said to not implement a monetary policy as yearly coin supply inflation remains the same and is high.  The lack of monetary policy then also extends to Ethereum forks such as Ethereum Classic or Expanse which as of writing this have not implemented any monetary policy in code.

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, coin distribution but ultimately we foresee a future where we 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 switching to a Proof of Stake scheme.

With our designed monetary policy, block rewards will start out at 8 and decrease by 1 yearly until it reaches a minimum of 1 UBQ per block.

This monetary policy is illustrated in the table below.


Here we can see that in year 8 onwards, approximately 358,364 UBQ are mined per year but this gives a slow tapering effect on the yearly inflation rate from 0.73% per year.  In essence, this is similar to the long term inflation scheme of Monero[3] which provides a constant "tail emission" of 0.6 XMR per 2-minutes block (0.87% yearly inflation around May 2022) as opposed to the infinite block halvings of Bitcoin.

Finally, it should be noted that we have successfully tested out the code related to this monetary policy in our Testnet[4].  We look forward to bringing you the first Ethereum fork with an implemented monetary policy in less than 1 weeks time!

Very nice dev, I like how this leaves the communities options open regarding whether or not to switch to POS down the road. Congrats on being the first Ethereum fork with an implemented monetary policy!  I'm glad to be on board and excited for the ride.
