This is cool to watch - a thread of known Twitter groupies, some with newbie accounts.   You know the drill.

Was mildly interested when I saw mention of modification to the ethereum code.  Now that the thread has its first troll, I'm intrigued.

I do not think Julian and Luke have set a hard date yet, but from discussions at slack.getjumbucks.com, I think (don't quote me!) it'll be late October or early November.

hi mate do you have any bounty to begin with i think we also needed to create some noise from both twitter and fb social media community it might attract more investors and followers, just curious mate if ever you have some i would like to join and just let me know so i can make some post or re tweet good luck dev.

Nice work, devs. I've always been impressed with the stability of the Jumbucks network, and I applaud your efforts to evolve in the face of innovation. Really cool with the changes you made to ETH's codebase--I'm not the most technical guy out there, but they look like nice improvements to me. I'm building a miner () now in anticipation of the POW launch

Exciting times!

Nice frame setup for your miner. I've been re-tasking my miners for the upcoming zcash release. however this is perfect. Ethereum based mining works well for my older gpu's. Join this Slack. One of the rare collections of traders that actually provide useful info.

Hello dev, if you will be needing translations, pls reserve Filipino language for me. thanks

I want to switch some jbs to ubq but im making jbs just staking? what do

Whats to stop someone from just converting their stakes to UBQ if the transfer is indefinite

LOLZ, bounty hunting is the "in" thing for 2016.

Yeah see it a lot with translations and other stuff like signature campaigns.

More swap details

Hey vested.

So with the swap, you'll be able to keep staking up until the actual swap which is when the genesis block will be created containing all the claimed addresses and their respective UBQ.

The URL's are in the OP but the steps are the create UBQ address(es) and to match these to JBS addresses that you will need to prove that you own by signing a message with your private key. Pretty simple and standard.

So the swap will be a snapshot of the blockchain at block. So if the address contains 1000 JBS at block x, that will be the number of UBQ that can be claimed for that address and it will be the same for everyone.

I previously made the relevant changes so that this snapshot would work with a blockparser utility.

I pushed out some changes earlier today so it builds cleanly and works out of the box: https://github.com/jumbucks/blockparser

I'll have a pool up and running for you guys for sure, when will be launched ?

When will Ubiq be launched?

Hey ocminer. Yep, thanks again in advance!

So the short answer is that we are "ready to go" for launch and have extensively tested but we are delaying it for a few reasons. We will also post a new ANN thread closer to launch date.

Reasons to push it back:

The Ethereum network is experiencing some DoS attacks and they are actively improving the codebase. Their latest 2 releases are experimental/"bleeding edge". The last release was posted 3 days ago (https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.4.14) and states: "This is a Geth pre-release to counter the network DoS attacks from yesterday and those detected today. It is a prerelease (to help people get back on track fast) with further updates coming soon". We are waiting on these further updates to integrate them in.

We want to co-ordinate this with Bittrex and Bill writes "Can you make sure to send in a support ticket so we get it on our calendar. <snip> we are focused on the v2 launch so I want to make sure we got you guys scheduled"

We are considering having the code changes we have made in Ubiq reviewed by a Geth dev.

This PRE-ANN news thread will be new for a lot of people. They would need time to digest the information and speculate, buy/sell and claim their JBS addresses for the UBQ swap.

The launch will be definitely be in 2016. We are very eager to get the network up and running!
