I think Charlie is right, the UNO community informed Bittrex soon after the transaction was made. Fake news! Give us the respect we deserve!
Good to see that 15,080 (15,101) boulder finally getting broken up, diversified into various secure wallets and exchanges. I noticed that volume is picking up on the Cryptopia UNO markets.
A few posts ago I said we were at 29 nodes, soon after we hit 34. Currently at 30 nodes through 21 different hosting companies. I think crypto.id's node recognition fluctuates more than the nodes themselves going online & offline. I say that because the fellow hosting the 2 Slovak nodes said they're always online although they don't always appear on cryptoid. Point being that the hosting company visualizer on cryptoid really displays decentralization nicely, the internet would basically need to go down globally for UNO to disappear.
Regarding what DavidSantaMaria said above: I don't think we should go below 250 years. Although I'm a scientist who's passionate about developing treatments against aging (biogerontology), I'll admit that it's likely most/all of us won't live to see the final block mined, but it's part of the original appeal of UNO. If we change it to 30 years and UNO is still around & securely mined in 20 years, there would be the looming question of what may happen after rewards end. I hope UNO is widely used in the future, but unless things change, transaction fees won't be sufficient incentive for anyone to even merge-mine UNO outside of the diehard supporters. Besides, then it would be less rare for the collectors & hoarders over the next century. That said, if unobtanium.uno is correct and the minimum block reward is 0.0001 UNO, that means another ~3,000 years of mining. I would happily support an increase to 0.001 minimum (~300 more years). I think in the telegram app Bryce W. mentioned the possibility of incorporating merge mining with primecoin. A blend of 0.0005 each for merge mining bitcoin & primecoin, or some other alt combination would be cool. Or if possible, just do a general 0.001 minimum reward and the mining pools can contribute hash from whatever coins UNO configured to merge-mine with (I don't know how this stuff works).
Congrats again to FallingKnife! FK was probably one of the people advocating for Cryptsy withdrawals both before and after things started looking sketchy there. I'm sure he never would have guessed at the time that he'd soon own all of that.
Speaking of advocating reduced exchange wallet sizes; some of you may remember that I used to post a lot trying to encourage Bittrex 'whales' to withdraw just to reduce risk. Well, I gave up because they never withdrew (still haven't) & wallet size just kept creeping higher. Well this month it finally saw a nice ~6% reduction from 18,600 to 17,500! Edit: I just checked & it's back to 18,500. Haha, oh well.
