@Bumface: You announced the block change but nothing happened and we hear nothing of you?

What is the plan now?

Plan is get as many UTC while you can cheap

When the announcement comes with the date for block change price will skyrocket

exactly thats why i bought 10k coins in the past few days =)

keep them coming cheap for now! They will see as soon the news hits!

downloaded wallet, but it crashes when i open it.
Have a feeling windows 64bit is the reason..

Anyone a solution?

i am using win 64bit without problems, the wallet can be a bit slow in loading now, but that will be adressed in the next updates.phase 2 and phase 3 wallet updates coming soon...

di you try making a backup of your wallet.dat, and reinstalling the whole thing?

[senne]

walled.dat isnt made yet, it crashes before that.
I'm on the official ultracoin irc chanelle, if you want thats easier to talk

It pissed me off that ultracoin is not showing on any coin calculator site(that I know of). Sure you can check your estimated rewards on coin page, but you miss the big picture that way.

So I made my own. Lately the price has gone a bit lower, but most of the time UTC was on top of the list:

Block explorer is offline right now so I can only input data manually. Hope this will bring us more people

So, how does your site handle coins at varying N factors?  KH/sec isn't simply a matter of dividing by 2 everytime the N increases.  Due to the increasing memory requirement, most GPU's need to sacrifice GPU speed for virtual memory (higher lookup gap).

[fredeq]

@eddaviking Yeah thats what I meant by "check on coin site". You cant see ultracoin on index page with its superior profitability.

Hey, of course not. I manually track this data. It will get tricky with time, but for now all scrypt-N are on the same boat - correct me if I am wrong.

0.0.0.0 (IPv4) and :: (IPv6) is not what it is connected to but the address and port that the Ultracoin process is listening on. 0.0.0.0 means all addresses available on the machine, so for example loop back 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. Have you checked your software firewall? You might want to try adding outbound rules for the process (C:\program files\ultracoin-qt\ultracoin-qt.exe)

You can also use a command prompt and type netstat -anob

This will show all processes and associated TCP connections, for example this is mine:

[Ultracoin-qt.exe]

Few days ago ultracoin was netting me 5 dollars a day when other coins did 1,5 at most. Even if you go for 50% orphan it was still 2,5 vs 1,5.
Maybe you didnt take into account power savings?

@jakoblight Thanks

UltraCoin Mining Update

As UltraCoin matures, the UTC team is working hard to ensure the short-term and long-term viability and profit of the coin. We have heard from the mining community, pool operators and investors, and are working closely with them to address various issues and prepare UTC for future growth. As such, we would like to communicate our plans with you and will continue to do so regularly.

The UltraCoin Plan

1. Bring new coin developers on board. We have found very capable coin devs, with experience developing and modifying many other coins. They are already hard at work.

2. Modifications to wallet, to address software version updates and prepare for future changes. This phase is complete.

3. Modifications to Nitro1 pool. As you probably know, Nitro1 currently has a large proportion of the total hashrate for UTC. Stuhlman, the operator of the Nitro pool, has instituted a 2 hour daily shutdown of Nitro1 to address this, until future changes to UTC fix the issues causing this problem.

4. Recruiting new pools. We are actively working to bring more large pools into the UTC family. We will keep you updated as we work on this.

5. Additional modifications to wallet, to apply heartbleed fix, coincontrol and reward cutting. We expect this change to be in place within the next two weeks.

The change to add coincontrol will allow the user to "segment" his stash of coins, keeping the oldest coins available for proof of stake, and spending the newest. We have seen a preview of this function and are quite excited about what it offers.

The decision to cut rewards was made after input from the entire UTC community. In the short-term, this may have an effect on daily mining profits, but we believe that in the long-term it will lead to higher prices, negating any negative impact.

Cutting rewards also extends the lifecycle of UltraCoin, reducing supply and ensuring that all coins are not mined in just a few years.

5. Possible change to Proof of Stake schedule. We are also listening to the community to decide how the POS schedule should change. Most people agree that 1 year is too long. We will keep you updated as we think this through.

I personally want to thank all of the miners, pool operators and investors for sticking with UltraCoin. While we have many exciting changes and features in development, we recognize that we are at a critical juncture with the coin. I, and the entire UTC team, am 100% committed to the success of UTC and sincerely hope you will stay with me as we work to make this coin successful.

As a special treat, I'd like to share with you a new page, put together by a loyal member of the ultracoin community: whattomine.com. As you can see, UltraCoin is still the most profitable coin to mine. Our plans will make it even more so.

Team UTC

This is awesome - thank you!

[Crankys]

i have a question:

Is it possible to program a pool, which spread the hashrate? My idea is for example 50% normal utc pool and 50% multipool..
So i don´t know, if such a pool is possible and i also havn´t knowledge..it´s only an idea.

So when the blockreward decrease to 15 utc maybe the miners will get more utc for their hashrate with such a pool and we get also a litte buy support..

[fredeq]

Okay, now that everyone knows why I was whining about second block explorer:

Can we have a bounty set for creating it, getting more bandwidth to bitgo, anything?

Thank you bumface for kind words btw
