So it looks like we are about ~4850 blocks away from our 2nd and final fork to remove all bonus payouts for USDe.  In the USA, this is about 3.3 days away at the 1 minute per block rate.  That means everyone really needs to be on the updated wallet/code as of ~Saturday late AM in the USA (I'm speaking from the CST/Chicago time zone) - adjust as necessary!

This will be an exciting change and we will make sure it goes as smooth as possible.  Exchanges have already been updating that we work with but again few tips as we can assume some services may not have proactively made the update:

Personally
1.  MOST IMPORTANTLY - make sure your personal wallet is up to date.  This would show protocol version 00003 if you type "getinfo" into the debug console.

Exchanges:
1. If you make transactions to width drawl from an exchange on Saturday - Monday, first try a small amount to ensure they are on the right block chain.  If you receive it after the fork then they are good to go.
2. If errors do occur with deposits/withdrawls at exchanges, the good news is they can be fixed by the side with incorrect block chain deleting it, updating, and rescanning in the new one - don't panic.

Pools
1. Proactively ask your pool in advance if they don't have news if they have updated.  Most have but there could be some smaller ones out there.
2. Note, any coins that are mined on a pool that has not updated will not be recoverable - as technically they never existed not the right block chain.

The board as well as entire community will be monitoring this fork of course and let's all work together to prepare, allow it to occur smoothly, and then move on from there.  This will create a new level of predictability and fairness for the average miner for USDe, create a little more scarcity, and set a strong base for other improvements that are going to be made in the months ahead that are nontechnical (marketing, redesign, acceptance, etc.).

Thanks all!

Looks like coinmarket.io keeps offline and the coins are gone. I "lost" 4-5 BTC in BTC, USDe, ICN and SMC at the current rate. I have had 2 million USDe over there. This sucks.

It looks like you may be behind a version?

Yeah, I like the look of AGX as well, definitely has some potential to become widely used if they keep up the quality support and communications.  Plus, they are technically based in Austin TX, so a local USA based exchange - maybe a little more dependable/respected?  USDe is going to be on AGX when it launches soon.

FYI - I am working with/on the board and the team is coming together all the time, constantly throughout the day monitoring activity, and there are some solid project plans coming together.  Improvements will come, not every single day of course, but some consistent improvements will keep coming for USDe rest assured.  I believe some communication on this organization will be due out soon.

Take good care and thanks for being such a verbal strong supporter as well.

Unitary Status Dollar eCoin


Unitary|Status Dollar eCoin





or maybe im wrong.. whos knows  Tongue

what's wrong with you guys ?
The name is unique and very attractive !

in chinese, 电子美元, which is so sweet and dreaming to us,, coz everyone loves dollar, therefore loves dollar Ecoin !

Stop this and dont change any. you may spoil this coin !

MOVE to the next ! Focus on further development !

I'm only posing the question because it would be a good idea for a definition of "Unitary Status" on the website.  

What exactly does that mean and why was this chosen?  

I would imagine that new-comers to this coin and regular people are going to wonder what the hell Unitary Status means.  

Create your own definition on the website if you must, but some explanation of why that name was chosen would be agood idea.

So far, I can only find a definition that refers to desegregation.

robrob, what kind of coins are in question here?

1. Were they incoming incoming/received coin transactions?  If so, where from, a Pool, and when, etc?  If the pool was not on correct chain when send them (and creating/mining them) then they will never arrive or exist again.
2. If outgoing, then when did you send them?  Those should time out if were on the wrong block chain for example.

You can delete everything but the wallet.dat file (also back it up to be safe) and restart the wallet.  It will redownload the entire USDe block chain.  If #1 above was true, they will just disappear, you will have never received them and they won't be there anymore waiting for confirm - sorry.

In case nobody knows about this case, might as well look it up for your own educational purposes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/25/us/liberty-dollar-creator-awaits-his-fate-behind-bars.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0


I'm not sure if it is relevant at all to USDe, but it's worth thinking about.

Just did some quick reading from the wiki, this kind of stands out ( 18 U.S.C. § 486)
Quote
Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes, or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this title  [1] or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

This one seems a little more concerning, as the above seems to be based on physical properties, and this one doesn't seem to have such a limit:
18 U.S.C. § 514 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/514

And reading through the rest of the wiki, the other codes seem to be around fraud and the use of gold/silver as currency. You can find most of the codes violated in this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar#Indictment.

I don't think the liberty dollar scenario can be applied to USDe specifically, but it could be applied to any currency that hopes to "undermine" the US dollar and take its place.

Granted I'm not a lawyer, but beyond such concerns as they apply to digital currency, I'm wondering about exchanges running in the US and the laws that might or might not surround them. This particular wiki sticks out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_currency_exchanger#Regulatory_issues and these phrases stick out: "operation of an unlicensed money transmitting business"; "on charges of operating an illegal digital currency exchange and money transmittal business";

Granted wiki isn't the best source of info, but it gives you a basic idea, more or less that the US government doesn't like competition. I do hope the Austin exchange knows what they're doing.

Looks like coinmarket.io keeps offline and the coins are gone. I "lost" 4-5 BTC in BTC, USDe, ICN and SMC at the current rate. I have had 2 million USDe over there. This sucks.

not all is lost man, soon as it's up again transfer out, i managed to get most of my stuff out of there when it was up for 30 hours.

Granted wiki isn't the best source of info, but it gives you a basic idea, more or less that the US government doesn't like competition. I do hope the Austin exchange knows what they're doing.

Agree on a few things:
1. It'll be interested to see how USA based exchanges fair.  Technically Coinbase is an exchange for USD to BTC and is doing fine.  AGX is launching in Austin TX, etc.  It comes down to local state law regulations at this point and eventually more Federal.  At minimum though, all USA based exchanges have to fully comply with anti-money laundering laws, thus is why you have to validate your identity and address on these exchanges (especially to insert/withdraw) money into or from the digital realm where it moves so easily.
2. USDe is in not going to have issue trying to emulate the USDE (dept of education) or undermining the US Dollar.  It is and setting up to be a new common currency that carries the "Dollar" type/name, just like 21 other countries do.  There is a patriotic theme here associate with it which will continuously be evaluated I'm sure so that the currency well represents "a global" approach

My quick 2 cents at this time of thought...

In case nobody knows about this case, might as well look it up for your own educational purposes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/25/us/liberty-dollar-creator-awaits-his-fate-behind-bars.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0


I'm not sure if it is relevant at all to USDe, but it's worth thinking about.

Just did some quick reading from the wiki, this kind of stands out ( 18 U.S.C. § 486)
Quote
Whoever, except as authorized by law, makes or utters or passes, or attempts to utter or pass, any coins of gold or silver or other metal, or alloys of metals, intended for use as current money, whether in the resemblance of coins of the United States or of foreign countries, or of original design, shall be fined under this title  [1] or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

This one seems a little more concerning, as the above seems to be based on physical properties, and this one doesn't seem to have such a limit:
18 U.S.C. § 514 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/514

And reading through the rest of the wiki, the other codes seem to be around fraud and the use of gold/silver as currency. You can find most of the codes violated in this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar#Indictment.

I don't think the liberty dollar scenario can be applied to USDe specifically, but it could be applied to any currency that hopes to "undermine" the US dollar and take its place.

Granted I'm not a lawyer, but beyond such concerns as they apply to digital currency, I'm wondering about exchanges running in the US and the laws that might or might not surround them. This particular wiki sticks out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_currency_exchanger#Regulatory_issues and these phrases stick out: "operation of an unlicensed money transmitting business"; "on charges of operating an illegal digital currency exchange and money transmittal business";
