This will be the first time I have been interested in a coin on it's launch day. I really think UTC has all the ingredients to be the next big alternate to bitcoin. UTC could be the silver dime piece to Litecoin's silver 1 oz round...
The reasons I am interested are that I am a big Proof of Stake hybrid fan, I feel powerful mining equipment takes away from what peer to peer currency offers and leads to centralization/cartel
ization, and I am also missing a fast block coin in my portfolio. Ultracoin seems to be the answer to all of that.
If my understanding is correct about the history of the
typical altcoin (read: non-Ultracoin) launches, orphaned blocks seem to be the biggest unintentional problem facing day one operations. I assume the issue is related to a lack of synced nodes on the network,
or something like that. While it is obviously in the network's best interest to spread the hash power across multiple sources as Ultracoin grows >1 day old, does it make more sense to have a sanctioned official pool and have miners focus on that pool at least until the network has lift off? Can somebody with more knowledge than myself explain if I am getting this right?
I am not trying to take away from the line of pool operators showing interest in offering their services for Ultracoin, but I am trying to make sure those of us who have been waiting for the launch are aware of curveballs that get pitched on coin launches. I don't think we will need to worry about any broken download links/wallet files as it is obvious bumface and ziggy are taking extra measures to be certain that everything is released in an planned and honest manner. Thanks
a lot for that, by the way.
