How big is the Ubiq community right now? I've read that the recent voting had the partecipation of over 50% of the community, so I guess there are exact numbers about the size of this community.

The Discord channel has close to 5000 members with around 2000 verified users.  The recent votes have all had strong polling results although it is done per address and not per person so one could have many addresses, I have more than a few myself.  The actual amount people interested would be an interesting calculation.

Nice infographic and very informative one pager. Waiting patiently for Ubiq to start making some moves.

I've tried for the first time to store UBQ on my Ledger wallet, but after having clicked on Connect to Ledger Wallet on pyrus.ubiqsmart.com, nothing happens. Windows doesn't pop up.
I've read instructions here:
https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005459725-Ubiq-UBQ-
but they don't work for me
I'm having 1.4.2 Firmware on Ledger and the Ubiq app installed through Ledger Live is 1.1.7. Inside Ubiq app the settings don't have any "browser support" option, BTW.
What now?

I dont use that method to store my coins but there are lots of folks in the Discord chat that can help sort you out within a few mins in the #help channel.   https://discord.gg/3Ufzp9U

I've discovered Ubiq only recently and so I've missed the Escher airdrop. So if I understand well I won't be able to take part to community voting. Will there be new airdrops for new holders in future?

Two possible problems I can think of:

Using Ledger with a browser apparently only works with Chrome and chromebased browsers (i.e. Chromium, I haven't tried Brave yet). Firefox does not work. I never tried Internet Explorer/Edge, so no idea whether they'd work.

Do you use Linux? I had a bit of struggle with Ledger on Linux, because you need some library(Btchip something, via Python) to get it to work. But considering that you have Ledger Live and it connects to the device, I'd imagine missing dependencies are not such a big issue…?

So let me get all this info straight... Hard fork on Nov 21st (block 660'000). New algo (Ubqhash), new miner (Ubqminer) and presumably new wallet as well (is there a core wallet?).

Sounds all very interesting, any indication of hashrates for the most usual GPUs anywhere? Any pool connected to testnet I could have a look at?

The core wallet Fusion can be used and will work flawlessly and if an update is required it is pushed to the wallet as a notification of upgrade.  Feel free to use this or Pyrus as they will have no issues navigating the fork.  The testnet can be utilized if you wish to tweek your rigs.  We do have many pools UIP1 ready so you can set up with UBQminer now and start hashing.  It will handle the fork on its own hands free.

Again I suggest popping into our Discord to gain real time support.

I believe this is the link for the testnet.

Hashrates are being reported as within 1-2 mh of what they are currently using if not identical.  I am running UBQminer and have seen 0 reduction on my two 1070s.  Plus no dev fee so that is a bit more profitable.

Hope that helps some.

I believe there are three more airdrops at a 1:1 ratio.  I might suggest looking into OTC trades or I believe ERC20 exchange has listed this token.  There will not be any active solicitation of listing this token as it is not intended for that purpose. It is a voting mechanism.

@everyone

The UIP 1 hard fork is in a few days. Less than 3500 blocks to go.

Please bring up any questions you have in relevant channels (mostly #ubiq and #ubiq-miners)

Thank you to all the miners, testers, community helpers, mining pools and Ubiq supporters. All the major exchanges have upgraded and are ready as well for the hard fork.

Here is the countdown page:https://ubiqsmart.com/uip1/#/

Again, Ubiq will be the first Ethereum fork (there's around 30 now) with its own Independent algo. This hard fork comes before the next ETH hard fork early next year which will bring a reduction in ETH rewards. This is anticipated to further reduce profitability for Ethash miners. They will then either stop mining or look for alternatives. The greater downside and risk is that there will be surplus Ethash available for rent. This means attack costs are cheaper on the rental market. UIP 1 was intended to address this and this will only become even more prevalent when ETH hits Proof of Stake.

Ubiq stands for decentralization and the true ethos of crypto with zero premine and being community driven. UIP 1 brings us greater security as well as greater network independence. You are truly a Ubiq supporter if you mine Ubqhash.

Thanks buddy I will head to the Discord tomorrow, but I think I've got pretty much all I need now in the last page of this thread! Anyway there's about three more days until the fork happens so I've got some time left to get sorted.
Any indication of hashrate for different GPUs? I suppose both nVidia and AMD are supported by the miner?
