Oh man, it looks like the jump to 6 across all exchanges right now could happen for @ 7 btc, which is about half the amount that was spent in the past day!

once it's on, it's on

Like Donkey Kong!!!!

lol

best part: halving probably during the rally

It's animated so even I could understand it.

HAHA made me lol

That would be ideal. When are we looking at for the 1/2ing?

I found this great video about trading Uno vs Bitcoin.

@FK love the "hi fi" sound

Little help guys... My Unobtanium wallet not want to be synchronized. I have 7 active connections. Thank you!

Did you get your wallet running?

I am proud to announce the results of the 100 UNO bounty......

drumroll.........

pnoch's solution worked perfectly!  More details to follow soon.....

I won't contest that, woowoo!!

Woo hoo! I have been lying in wait to explain this, the 'Smith-Nash Thing':

Nash won a Nobel Prize for proving that Smith's position (individual action is always most profitable) is wrong -- try raising a barn by yourself!

But there is the problem of 'passengers': some don't contribute as much, but can still get full benefit. A crypto is a perfect example of this: a core of coin-holders promotes the coin; its price rises; all coin-holders benefit.

So:

the core of committed Uno-holders staunchly develops the coin. This development benefits both those in the core and everyone else.

At the same time, anyone who wants to can engage in 'day-trading'; but not in concerted efforts to achieve (otherwise damaging) super-profits -- pump-and-dumps.

This day-trading brings (a) profit to the individual actors (a return for their activity) and (b) general volume to the coin, which benefits all.

At the same time, the community shares information in the hope of maintaining effective anti-Wolong defences.

Finally, 'rank has its priveleges':

it is blasted naive to not differentiate between more and less active community members. It is not anti-libertarian that those who work longest and hardest profit proportionally more.

It only matters that it happen in a non-centralised manner!!

The solution I suggest is a sort of 'secondary (internal) dynamic' that unashamedly provides benefits to those at the coal-face. No one forces you to the coal-face. No one can send you away from it. If you are at the coal-face, the benefit is there for you. If you are not at the coal-face, the benefit is not there for you because . . . you aren't at the coal-face.

@imz 'investing and building vs daytrading only'

if you take it up and do the work yourself you can be sure it'll be done. The daytrader or short-term-buck-hunter relies heavily on the work of others. He can't be sure about it.
A coin can not live without those investors, who put time and effort in it.

Okay everyone, here is the big announcement.

I am proud to announce that Pnoch has won the 100 UNO FreeFileSync bounty.  He (or she) did some fantastic work with an incredible turnaround time.  The solution is posted here, and I am going to share it with the developer of FreeFileSync, and with the FreeFileSync community.  This should also introduce some people to UNO who have never heard of it before.

Here is the obligatory screenshot of me running FreeFileSync 6.9 on my Centos 7 laptop.  Pnoch's instructions worked perfectly.

Here is me sending the 100 UNO Pnoch's way:

Finally, here is the 100 UNO transaction: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/uno/tx.dws?597909.htm

Pnoch ( uaCTEckBTnocqfdu2HC7rSW8xYDquMuZL7 ), that was fantastic work!! Thank you.

[Philogus]

This is just an idea.  I like presenting these kinds of ideas publicly so that the whole community can see them, discuss them, and tell me if my idea is dumb or not.  

 I heard back from the lead developer of FreeFileSync.  He seems to have no interest in UNO or supporting Centos 7 long term.  Pnoch, would you have any interest in forking FreeFileSync as UnoFileSync? I think that this could potentially be HUGE for UNO, especially if the software encouraged users to donate UNO to support the build process.  If you decided to take this project on, ofcourse you would be the lead developer and receive the vast majority of the donations, but you could tip people UNO who compile builds for different systems. Now that you've taught me the build process, I could definitely help with making the Centos 7 build for each new release.

UNOFileSync could be our first UNO app (besides the UNO wallet) featured on Unobtanium.uno, and it could have its own site at something like UnoFileSync.uno, as I discussed in this post.
 Initially, FreeFileSync and UNOFileSync would be exactly the same, but we would eventually diverge, like OpenOffice and LibreOffice.


Now here is idea number two, and this is REALLY stretching my limited knowledge of how crypto-coins work, but someone much smarter than me may be able to take this idea to the next level.

This is inspired by recent podcasts that I've listened to on Ethereum and Storj blockchain-based file storage and sharing.  What if we created UnoFileSync (don't worry if someone cybersquats these names, I have some much better ones in mind that I won't reveal), and what if we differentiated it from FreeFileSync by making it both a cloud-style file synchronization tool and a local file synchronization tool? Some workplaces (like mine) don't allow Dropbox and Bittorent Sync type file synchronization programs on their network, so those people could download and use a version that only allows local file syncing.  

Anyway, the full cloud + local sync version of UnoFileSync would work just like Storj and FreeFileSync combined into one program:

• Users would pay Uno to buy file storage in excess of what they have installed locally on their machines.
• Users would get UNO by allowing the network to use storage room on their local hard drives.
• A strong firewall would exist between the local storage and "cloud" storage, and strong encryption would be used to prevent others from getting access to your private files.
• We would reach out to all of the major free OS distributions to try to get UnoFileSync into their default repositories: Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Centos, FreeBSD etc.
• We would pay bounties out to people who volunteer to do helpful tasks like building version for different OSs, making logos etc.
• The user could sync local files just as easily as cloud files, e.g. to a USB stick, or between folders on the same hard drive.

I am not naive.  I know that building something like this would take a massive amount of work (and capital).  But I also know that there are some REALLY smart people out there who might think about what I've presented here, and be inspired to build the UNO app that will blow everyone away.

I'd love to hear any comments and thoughts from the UNO community.

@Philogus
sounds like an interesting idea. A thing like maidsafe or freenet is that, right?
Interested to see what comes from that idea. I am a noob when it comes to the details, though.

bitcoin keeps declining. 1.5 million coins to stomack till next halving ... 

[gustav]

TDI 24h 121 now

you traded 121 days of mining last 24h. Uno is insane.

[V500]

we need fiat-exchange. bitcoin is in danger of tanking very badly. I'll be asking around. Let's see if we can get one going.

[IMZ]

@ Philogus, I am ignorant of the technology here; but I have been arguing from day one for projects that tap into groups outside the (fatigued and grumpy) crypto-sphere.


@ V500: if you're still full of energy, PM to ask me about 'P-WIPping' -- fiat-crypto sales by Internet-banking (in a nation). IndiaMikeZulu has done it.

[pnoch]

Pnoch ( uaCTEckBTnocqfdu2HC7rSW8xYDquMuZL7 ), that was fantastic work!! Thank you.

Philogus, you're more than welcome! 100 UNO Received.

I will try to think and put something together for that UNOFileSync idea. Great idea by the way!

Thank you for making me love this coin and community even more.

I have no doubt, Unobtanium is and will be the best cryptocurrency with the best community ever!

This might be a good start? Exchange with Fiat deposit. Recently, I've been trying out Nubits (USD peg) trading they just added. Would be great to have UNO/NBT pairing there.

I've just left them the message about adding UNO to there exchange on both Bitcointalk and on their site.

@ Philogus: yay! one star TT rating for you!

@ Pnoch: posted on ccedk.

[marcetin]

I remember my first UNO purchase about year ago, on coinex RIP , more than 2k for 2.5BTC, it was my biggest investment. Friends told me than that I am crazy investing in some new "made just to cover asics expenses" coin, but after a year community prove opposite. Strong development and good team.

Still have strong faith in it and wish all the best for community.

Keep it that way! (as I keep my UNO's)

Cheers!
