[UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Merge Mine w/BTC! - Update NOW to qt 0.11.5

[V500]

when cryptsy was being slow to release UNO, i pulled out a total of 3800 UNO in 4 999 lumps.

that was the exact time that uRan was diminshed and uCun appeared.

since then my hard drive has faultered and 90% of everything i own is now in jeopardy.

'Day 4 of chkdsk /r /f C: has stalled... disk is grinding & clicking ;(

i have a few UNO left on cryptsy along with a few other alts...

Shiiittt, edgar.

Try to not to override the data. In case you can't get it done, if just the needle of the harddrive failed or some other technical thing it is very easy for one of these data-recovery-firms to bring back the data. Can be had from around 300$
Just to let you know there is companies specialised in data-recovery in case you need that. (use google, you find heaps)

so im being patient even tho just under the surface im FFFFREAKING!!

I don't blame you.
In the past I've used a Linux app called Clonezilla to make images of even corrupted disks, so if anything happens I can go back and try again. And again, if necessary.
You can get it on CD and boot it up on any Windows or Linux computer, and attach some USB storage to hold the clone image.
I'm sure you've thought of everything by now. I think V500's idea to use a pro service is a wise one.
Really, good luck. I hope it all works out.

@edgar ... this is cryptoland ... even if that HDD is totally fubar there are ways to recover the keys   My suggestion is to turn off that computer and pull the hdd out (don't stress it any more).  Then take the time to fully access the situation and possible solutions.  Lot's of googling ... hell you might just be holding onto a very secure way to store and protect private keys.

also the tech help here is A+ // i think our collective brains can get edgar his coins

@everybody

looking at this from another angle:

1. this is bad luck for ed but an opportunity for the community to access their own UN storage security (mine shiiite too) but at least 3 digital copies and 1 paper copy for any serious stash.

dumpprivkey

 << learn how to use the console (on an offline machine)

2. this is an opportunity for UN company to create a data recovery 'UN enterprise' that specializes in very difficult HDD recovery services ... this is going to be a very BIG niche in cryptoland ... example recovery of private keys from a smashed HDD ... say it was compressed by a garbage truck ... and it holds 500BTC. If I am the owner said HDD I'd be more than happy to pay many kg of UN to recover the BTC.

Edgar's Problem: pardon my naivete: IMZ has an associate who is both a talented crypto miner and runs an award-winning professional computer data-recovery business. Or do you have such guys at your disposal?

Bitcoin National's Memo: I recently opined that the 'pile-in ad hoc' model is my preferred, but I bet I am seven tenths in agreement with the basic idea -- it sure it a step towards the 'consultancy culture.'

[BitcoinNational]

@IMZ

'pile-in ad hoc' model will still be 90% of the method

The motion is to establish 'communicative nodes' and 'resources of suggestions to prevent congestion&digression'  ... so yeah the ship kinda has some officers on deck, so long as most all of the UN sailors grant them their respect.  Their is never going to be a mechanism of enforcement and all are free to go at it ad-hoc and in any direct if it pleases them.

walls gone from bittrex, 500 dumped on cryptsy - is there a connection? 

[IMZ]

@ Bitcoin National: I'm in

[prominerone]

i don't know why but i have this images in a much better resolution and when i postet here they come out somehow blurry

I believe BCT has some kind of proxy/caching server for images that compresses these images heavily.

"Many traders seem to relate the price of Un now to the dollar"

The last 30 days have seen a steady rise in UNO price, even as Btc has fallen.  

Accumulators gonna accumulate.




A little bit of a pull back from .005, where there's more willing sellers. This is a good time to pick up some more $uno in the mid .004's before the run up to .006. based on this month-long trajectory.  Very interesting to see the decoupling from Bitcoin price.  Many traders seem to relate the price of Un now to the dollar, which is in that $2-$2.50 range for the moment..

First tied to BTC, then to $, next ...?

Many traders will seem to relate the price of Un to silver

US Mint caught completely off guard by EPIC physical demand, SOLD OUT of Silver Eagles after burning through over 2 million oz in less than 2 hours Wednesday morning!

Get silver in your hands and Unobtanium in your hard drives while supplies last (at these prices).

[IMZ]

But silver prices are still falling:

https://www.bullionvault.com/silver-price-chart.do

My guess is: stock markets have lost the plot (plus non-inflation precludes 'inflation-hedge bullion purchases') -- for example, Japan -- and that is 'pulling' funds from the bullion market.

Sure is good to see this as a subject of discussion.

if we commit to it
THEN un (will be) redeemable for physical (without out the lack of inventory problem seen in the USA)

why?  Because you can't back uno with silver unless you are holding silver.
(see coffee can in garden protected by our large feathered mascot) << that's what un is / distributed custodianship

my problem ... no silver .oz .999 acquirable in my neck of the woods ... but think of doing gold back offer ... .999 pure AU and easy to take (a hold of) a position.  I can walk to 3 gold shops from my front door.     

[IMZ]

Gold will do the trick, B.N. Ian and I have no preference for silver. It's just that when we started analysing Perth Mint products, we found that cheaper gold products carried higher premiums. Out of easily one hundred products, the plain (but PM-stamped) 10-oz silver bar was the best value -- about 250$ AU at that point.

And: trust and 'diffusion' will do the trick, diffusion being that, say, ten TTs bury $500 worth each. (This is down the track aways. Hedges are a micro experiment, a mere trial)

Now, details to follow; but consider how Hedges and bullion-for-Uno sales, and redeeming and
Corporate Outreach will ultimately be closely linked.

I cut loose Altcoinfaucet.net. It was a very good service, just a little pricey.

For those of you who feel your wallet needs a little dust, Cryptapus is still running a UNO faucet at http://cryptap.us/uno/faucet/

Check out all of the cool stuff that Cryptapus does for the UNO community. He's brought a lot of value to UNO, and made it more fun to own.

Have you tried his UNO dice games?
Be sure to patronize his services.  You can show him a little love with a tip to uQkoQyjd4K2ALowKnZuRMJxaemUWec9N5w
