Hello,

I hope everyone is doing great.

In the very first post of this thread and also on http://unobtanium.uno/ there is a link to a UNO paper wallet generator which is https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html

Since I do not want to use this site online, I wanted to download the GitHub Repository with the link on the bottom of that site. This link however leads to bitaddress.org (the repository of the Bitcoin paper wallet generator), not the one for UNO.

Could maybe someone post the correct link (and ideally also change the wrong link on https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html)?

Thanks a lot
Kay

I think if we see this downtrend continue to anywhere around 0.002-0.0019 we will see people sweeping in with big buy orders. I know I will.

Also, I feel like Calling Unobtanium an Alternative Coin Is subpar. We are not an alternative to bitcoin. We are something Much Different. Why put ourselves down.

EDIT: Also thought I'd Like to add, not sure who but someone payed the 10K DOT for us to be able to tip Unobtanium to active users in the Cryptopia chat! Very neat feature!

The block on info on Page One here is very good -- there is a list of merchants! Perhaps we should carefully vet it for our third birthday, which is not so very far away.

EDIT: Sigh. Looks like there are lessons to be learned here:  https://magoo.github.io/Blockchain-Graveyard/

I contacted shapeshift to inquire about why they do not have Unobtanium The response was:

Thanks for reaching out, Kush. I have added Unobtanium to our discovery list, and our development team will look into it when they begin to decide on our next round of coin additions. We do receive several dozen requests a day for new coins to be added so can not assure you we will add your coin, but we will look into it and see if it makes sense for us to add at this time. Any new coins we add will be announced on our social media channels as well as our email newsletters.

Maybe if some others here do the same it will have a better chance of being added?

Cryptapus might have it posted on his Github, but I'm not sure where it is exactly.

This Uno port of Bitaddress generates keys in your browser, not on the server.
Once it loads in your browser, disconnect from the internet. Now generate your paper wallet offline. Print it and close your browser window.

I've never bothered putting it on github... The source is visible and I've signed it with my pgp key if you're concerned about your copy... However, if your interested, you can find the same bitaddress.org vintage site and do a diff on it to see my changes. You'll find there are only cosmetic and coin version differences. (As well as my addition of "Labels" from some of the work originating from the Casascius project.)

Perhaps when I find the time I'll host it on github...

I have used this several times on airgapped machines to generate wallets. The signatures, checksums always match and it works fine.

We were already on ShapeShift for the longest time and after they got hacked, they never added us back.

Maybe another market for UNO trading in the future -

Website: https://rawx.io

I know it's in beta - but for me this is a non-starter.

[learminer]

I will simply not trust any new altcoin exchange at this point. Not unless they give plenty of good reasons to trust and use their platform. Had to remove way too many exchanges from our website over the past years...

[Kingn56]

I currently have a cold storage using Electrum but i got a couple questions.

If the elctrum or cryptapus went down would the wallet still work? or would my coins be lost forever?

OF course i do have the seed.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. lol

I understand that with this Javascript paper wallet generator the addresses are created client-side in the browser. However, and I admit, I might be a bit paranoid here, but even when the laptop is disconnected from the internet while the addresses are being created, there is, in my understanding, still a chance that a virus or malware records what is going on and sends the created (private) keys somewhere as soon as the laptop is reconnected to the internet again. Not the most probable scenario, but still not impossible.

In order to create a cold storage for my UNO coins, I decided to do the following instead: I have an older laptop that never is connected to the internet, but is connected to a printer. On this offline laptop I installed the Electrum UNO client. There I select one of the public keys, retrieve the corresponding private key, and print both on paper. I've been doing this with many other altcoins (for some of them there is no paper wallet generator out there) and it's worked very well.

Or you could boot your computer from a Linux live CD for creating the keys. Bit easier than relying on keeping a second & offline-only computer around.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. lol

If you have the seed you can always recover your private keys and if you have those you can import them into another wallet if Electrum ever stops working.
But both the Electrum Wallet and Servers by Cryptap.us are on Github - so if everything else fails you could always set up your own server to reconnect to the network.

Sweet, thanks man.
I need to start studying how seeds/private keys work and how to access them so in a worst-case scenario i'll know what to do.

EDIT: Also On a More UNO note.
It looks like we have either entered a slight bear market or some people have knowledge of bitcoins coming price rise and are liquidating some uno to grab them back at a lower mBTC amount(Not necessarily a lower USD)?

Sigh. Automated exchanges certainly have become 'the bottleneck' in the crypto thang. Can we trial a decentralised exchange?

I'm a big fan of bitsquare. It's still in it's infancy - but I believe it will really take off soon.

Give me a few weeks, IconFirm, and I should be ready to try it. It would be fine if we could lead the charge on this. (Third Birthday in a couple of months.)
