Ultracoin already has a logo. Why wait ur time designing one.

Guys I must admit I do get a little dis-heartened when I see the price dropping and low volume on small exchange. I do however have faith in bumface, ziggy and friends. Take the silence as them working very, very hard on the next development of this coin. There is simply no way they would pour in this much time and effort to simply walk away.

I'm still buying, mining and holding!

[solarflareq]

Perhaps but if i all it takes is a few btc to get them listed on mediumly large exchanges why hasnt that been done yet?

they made tons off the ipo and if they get the coin to a point where its worth a few dollars then they stand to make even more $ so i don't see why this wasnt done already.

Yes. Why didn't it ? Couple of BTC ? Hmmm probably not the reason:

so in order of my preference:

1. Because a twist is coming which will surprise all and will reward the holders / buyers / miners coz we are building stake
2. Nobody serious can be bothered adding coins / wallets etc etc whilst guarding against the malleability attack, DDOS, GOX issues and possible scenarios and so on. Its not BAU at the moment in Crypto land. That also contributes to the "somewhat" stale market at the existing exchanges. You game to throw a couple of BTC to buy UTC on the blockchain right now to get them to Crypto-Trade or coinmarket ? Didn't think so. So the sites are basically trading with themselves IMO.

Patience people. And stop bloody selling if you are not just a mercenary miner.

because look at it.

[jakiman]

UTC price isn't looking good.

I remember such phenomenon with DOGE shortly after it landed on the moon last year.
It started tanking all the way down to less than 20 satoshi in Jan. Now it's 10x higher.

I hope bumface/ziggy come back soon with some awesome news.

+1.  
One historically good thing about crypto's.  When everyone cries "it's dead" change is usually coming.

Ultracoin already has a logo. Why wait ur time designing one.

because look at it.

Logo design IS still open for consideration.  Scattered through the pages are various suggestions given.  Nothing definitive has been set for sure, but who knows.

Ultracoin is a hybrid proof-of-work / proof-of-stake coin, whereby active nodes are involved in the mining of blocks if they hold Ultracoin. With Ultracoin you can send and receive currency worldwide to friends, family or business partners. You may even exchange it for other currencies or simply use it to buy goods. Miners are currently awarded with 50 new Ultracoins per block, an amount which gets halved roughly every 990.000 blocks. The Ultracoin network is therefore scheduled to produce 100 million Ultracoins, which is almost 4.5 times as many currency units as Bitcoin.

Ultracoin can be mined with both CPU's and GPU's. Furthermore, with an ASIC resistant Scrypt Jane base, you can feel at ease. This will ensure that you won't be surprised by new hardware technologies. UTC is a hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake coin, whereby active nodes are involved in the mining of blocks if they hold UTC.

• Total coins: 100,000,000
• Premine: 2% (2 million UTC, please view public premine distribution ledger below within the Orginal Post sub-text)
• Block time target: 30 seconds
• Block reward: 50, halving every 990,000 blocks
• Difficulty retarget:max 200% per 30mins
• Mined block confirmation: 50
• Transaction confirmation: 5
• NFactor Integration
• Port: 44100
• Rpc port: 44101

Please stand by as we work to bring you the utmost best in UTC promotions from lotteries, bounties, and more!



How do I solo mine?

Code:

Create an ultracoin.conf within your %APPDATA% folder and add these lines:
 
 rpcuser=youruser 
 rpcpassword=yourpassword 
 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 
 daemon=1 
 server=1 
 listen=1 
 
Start the ultracoin client, edit solo_mining.bat with the specified user and password, and run the .bat. Enjoy mining! 
NOTE: Please set expiry = 1, scan time = 1, and queue = 0 in cgminer to receive lower rejects. Thanks!

What is Proof of Stake?

Code:

20% interest per year if you:

1. Have UTC in wallet
2. Don't spend it during that year 
3. Have wallet online all year
4. Have wallet unlocked for minting, do this like so:
    - Open debug window, then console, then type: 'walletpassphrase' yourpassword '999999999' true

Can you please explain the details of the pre-mine?

Code:

Absolutely! In fact, it has already been laid out. Please peruse the content of the original post below for the in-depth answer.

Original Post:

Code:

Hello, 
 
I would like to take this opportunity to announce the release of our coin called :[b]Ultracoin (UTC)[/b] on [u]February 1st[/u].

[b]which is asic-resistant[/b]

 
We have been working hard to finalize our coin, and I have been fortunate enough to work with a team consisting of a good dev and a professional external consultant to help guide the entire process. We have also commissioned custom pool software with real time API data to our website to track various statistics, such as users, hashrates and current difficulty.
 
You may know me (bumface) as a chat moderator on btc-e, however i would like to emphasize the fact that this coin is [u]not[/u] an affiliate of btc-e, but a personal endeavour with a proper team. 
 
Through our common love for crypto we got together as equal partners to make this coin a reality. We have offered rewards in BTC and UTC for many jobs, and some jobs are still open (Please view the 'Rewards and Bounties' section.)

We are currently in negotiations with multiple exchanges

 
Announcement 	                        : 13 jan.
Launch and 		                : February 1st.
Mining start                                : X

We have this logo as a temperary logo, we have commissioned a logo by a real graphic designer, if this does not work out, we will organise a competition with a reward.

ultracoin is a hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake coin, whereby active nodes are involved in the mining of blocks if they hold utc.
this will give a strong incentive to a. hold coins and b. be an active node (e.g. have wallet open/running) on the network.

this means that, under certain circumstances, you may accrue 20% proof-of-stake interest per year on the coins you own.

[i]-Why is there a premine?[/i] 
 
 
You will probably have noticed a 2% premine, allow me to explain why we did this. We wish to be open about every single coin in existence, so you may see where it went and why. 



[b]Public premine distribution ledger:[/b] 
 
[u]-1.600.000 UTC[/u] are available to purchase by any potential stakeholder (Please view stakeholders proposition below.) in an open bidding system with a minimum bid of 0.00005[btc]              
 
 
[u]-100.000 UTC[/u] go to partner 1:[u]Ziggy[/u] (dev)                                                                                                                      
 
[u]-100.000 UTC[/u] go to partner 2:[u]bumface[/u] (founder)                                                                                                                
 
 
[u]-100.000 UTC[/u] go to our professional external consultant. (as well as 5 btc)                        
 
[u]-100.000 UTC[/u] go to rewards for jobs done by any capable developer, for example: making an android wallet, or making a working  
mining pool with real-time API data link to our main website. (also btc rewards)
 

 
 
Please note that every partner gets [u]0.1%[/u] of the total number of coins, we feel this is not unreasonable as a compensation for our time and investment. 
 
We will have the balance of our wallets visible on our homepage  so everybody can see when we sell coins from our personal wallet. The reason we do this is because we feel there are too many coins where the premine is left unexplained and there are vague wallets with unidentified coins and owners. 

We hope that this will foster a good relationship with the community.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 
[b]What is different about Ultracoin??[/b]

Let be honest, the code is not the most difficult part of an endeavour like this,although scrypt jane is not the easyest thing to do because of enhanced asic resistance.

So what is left then? ......the team.The people behind it. What is their intention? what is their vision?


Ultracoin has employed many influential people for ammounts like 5 btc, 10 btc and 15 btc per person as well as UTC rewards.Every person brings a different skillset to the table and is hard at work to make things happen for UTC.

It is not yet super evident to the public how this will unfold into actual results, but if you keep an eye on us you will see many fast and wonderfull developements.


Without this kind of support a coin is just a coin, and has no real future.We wish to stand out from a legion of altcoins and with the building of this community we will achieve that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
[b]Stakeholders proposition[/b]

BIDDING IS CLOSED<EXPECT A REPLY TODAY< WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT (ALMOST) ALL BIDS>STAY TUNED

ALL OFFERS ACCEPTED, NOBODY REJECTED
 
The reason we want to sell of coins during the launch is because not everybody has an ability to mine coins, this would give an unfair advantage to early miners. 
They would get a fairly large amount of coins due to low difficulty, giving a great advantage over traders who have to wait until our coin is accepted on exchanges. 
 
 
 
[i]Stakeholders rights:[/i] 
 
Stakeholder have a right to be anonymous for as long as they please (including in perpetuity). 
 
 
 
[u]A total of 1,600,000 UTC will be available to purchase[/u] right after the UTC launch by anybody who desires to do so. These 1.600,000 UTC will come out of the 2% premine, [u]not[/u] on top of it. This means 98% (98 million UTC) of all coins can be mined by anyone with a GPU or CPU. 
 
We will accept open offers with a coin amount and price of your choice (with a minimum bid of 0.00005 btc per unit of UTC), and will select people until all 1,600,000 UTC is sold. 

We will launch as on February 1st, however you may make an offer to us now as of [u]now[/u].

Please send your offer to [b]X[/b]. Offers will be entertained and replied between 13-1-2014 and 27-1-2014



this offer must include:

- your (nick) name this name will be on our website along with your UTC adress to offer total transparancy, if you wish to remain anonymous put an X here.

-The ammount of UTC you wish to purchase

-Your UTC unit price (with a minimum of 0.00005[btc]) and the totals in UTC and BTC.




[i]Example message:[/i] 

name			 : billy
UTC amount	 : 10.000 (ten thousand)
unit price		 : 0.00005
total			 : 0,5[btc]


you may copy & paste this

name			 : 
UTC amount        :
unit price		 :	
total			 :      [btc]

If your offer is accepted you will recieve an adress to send [btc] to, and as soon as we have received and verified your [btc], you will receive an e mail confirming your payment.We will destribute all the wallets to stakeholders on the same day as the wallet link goes up, and then you will recieve your coins( this is to prevent early mining and also reduce chance of 51% attack


please note that verification will not be optimal in the beginning since we need the miners to act as nodes (Custom pool software is being built).


 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[i]-What will happen with the [btc] that comes in?[/i] 


 
A portion of this amount will be used for rewards and bounties to further the development of Ultracoin (please view the rewards and bounties section below), as well.
 
The remainder of the BTC will be divided under the 2 equal partners to recoup the investment in this coin, and yes, we will also earn [btc] with this endeavour.
 
Also note that we are in this thing for the long haul and we are thinking long term, so because we might sell our coins years from now, the 2 partners will take some BTC at the start from the stakes that are sold. 
 
We have no intention of dumping our coins when it reaches a certain value and then abandon this project. We would also like to state that we have no intention of becoming the next hype coin, with a massive rise in the first week and then a downwards slope without recovery. If this is what you desire there are many hypecoins to choose from, but that`s not us. 
 
Bitcoin took 5 years to get to this level, so we have all the time in the world. We would rather have slow growth towards a truly stable coin than the next hype coin. 


[i]Please note that we would also like to ask larger stakeholders to sell responsibly right after launch, so that a healthy market may form.[/i]



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
[b]Rewards and Bounties [/b]
 
 
We will be giving rewards/bounties for certain jobs paid in BTC and/or UTC.



Our dev will review your work, and if it is selected we will launch it for a 2 week evaluation period in which the community can use it so we may test it for flaws and bugs.
 
After the work has passed the quality norm,you will receive your reward, and it will be visible on our homepage. 
 
such jobs include: 
 
-Blockchain explorer       -     7500 UTC 

-Android wallet              -     3000 UTC
 
-Mac wallet                   -     3000 UTC

-mac os gpu miner         -     3000 UTC

-Linux wallet                 -     3000 UTC
  
-Linux gpu miner            -     3000 UTC


If you feel you are a capable developer, you may start one of these jobs at once, please announce that you are working on it on this thread.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
 
We hope to have informed you properly and openly about our project and we know that we are nothing without acceptance from the community. Crypto is an open market and we hope we can provide a stable coin with a proper and dedicated team behind it, however the community will decide our success or failure so please join us and make ultracoin a success. 
 
Thank you :D

How does that look for a re-touched primary post? Looks far superior to me.

Unfortunate that it was right on the page break. Here is the link. Spread it.

Nice! That looks far superior to me also. Awesome work!

[jakiman]

BTW, Newaltex needs to be removed from the Exchange list.
https://www.newaltex.com/

I'm closing the exchange, Please close your orders and withdraw your money in 48 hours (until Sun Feb 18 14:00:00 EST 2014).
For withdrawal help email me at admin@newaltex.com

WHY?Some chinese guy managed to steal over half a bitcoin and I can't figure out how.
Also the malleability attack screwed the wallet so bad it shows a negative balance, I've had it with bitcoin

[xwebnetwork]

Easy fix.

I do hope the main post is updated soon. We just need to continue supporting UTC. There MUST be promotions and community events to draw in a bigger crowd. There needs to be incentive to mine and interest to stay.

[MasterCATZ]

well I would put up the BTC for say 50k UTC

3.00 BTC will make UTC be at $2 of AllCrypt.com vote list.
0.50 BTC will make UTC be at #2 of MintPal vote list.
0.25 BTC will make UTC be listed at CryptoRush asap.

[xwebnetwork]

We should simply create a public donations wallet on the front page. That way everybody can see the option to vote or simply donate if they feel so inclined.

Then again, there are those BTC acquired from the initial investments. This could easily be covered by those which is what they are for, no?

very nice!  great work there!

Cryptorush would probably be the best to target first in that group.  Good following and volume.  Pretty trustworthy owners, from what I understand

[xwebnetwork]

With that in mind, I will put down 1000 UTC to whomever donates to CryptoRush. That's valued at .28 BTC right now. Would cover the cost. Show proof of the donation with confirmation, and the 1000 UTC is yours.
