[ANN][URO] A Real Long Term Currency: 1 Uro = 1 Metric Tonne Urea Fertilizer

[AlfaONE]

It should sync now.

Nope. it still won't sync.
i use the configuration on the first page

You should read the rest of this thread about it being a scam.

LOL bro............

[Yalla]

True-Asset:

1: The uro wallet is > 6 hours 14 hours out of sync
2: look at pool: https://uro.suprnova.cc/ Blocks >30 confirms waiting

These are important because in the released information it is said 40 confirms for transactions - needs to be speedy.


ETA for fixes?

Yalla

Today restarted URO wallet.
for hours and hours it reported 2 hours behind.
Now it is 17 hours behond. No Sync.

URO.CONF is not required to be posted because:
1: Settings are as per front page instructions.
2: No Settings changed this end
3: Wallet used to sync, now it does not
4: Seems other also reports no sync of wallet

Perhaps by changce theres an issue with the network wallet itself?

what is it something has changed to stop syncing.

[pineapples]

my wallet is stuck on 12744..

and so is uro.pool.enterprises.
the pool also suggest diff will change on the next block so mayhaps that will fix it when it finally gets found

Current Difficulty    363.27133361
Est. Next Difficulty    19.63260834 (Change in 1 Blocks)

lol.
the problems with new scrypt coins is that they can be victim to malicious interference in this manner.

you cant necessarily blame the coin if someone is deliberately trying to fuck with the diff. once it drops, i wonder if the network hash will mysteriously pick up again.. rape the blocks .. then disappear again .

A wallet update will be issued to increase difficulty re-target responsiveness. The new wallet also has built-in seed nodes and a few checkpoints. The update has been finished and is undergoing QA which will take a few hours.

In the mean time - we are arranging hash-rate capacity to mine out the remaining blocks before the diff change. This capacity will be deployed after the new wallet is released and we have confirmed all known pools (p2poolcoin, altmine, enterprises, suprnova and trademybit), Bittrex, cryptexplorer and several other tracking sites have applied the update.

The difficulty change will occur around 10 blocks from now so the transition will not result in any account values being lost at the junction of the fork.

To all those people saying their wallet wont sync.  There is a simple explanation.  At the moment it is HOURS between blocks because the dev screwed up the diff retargets. 20 blocks an hour?? At the moment it is more like 20 blocks a week..  According to uro.suprnova.cc they solved their last block over 54 hours ago and only 9 blocks have been solved since then. 

[johndec2]

The difficulty change will occur around 50 blocks from now

That is Bullshit. The next diff change is over 200 blocks away unless they hard fork

But John, there is going to be a hard fork in about 10 blocks: That is what it means to update the difficulty algorithm.

[johndec2]

50 blocks is over a week away unless you spend a bucket load on rent-a-hash.  So do it sooner.

EDIT: Breaking news. A block was solved. It only took 20 hours and 5 minutes...

[true-asset]

The sudden 10 fold spike was what caused the problem, which the update that is being QA will fix.

Wallet should sync now at block 12745

there are simply too few miners @ https://uro.suprnova.cc maybe some more should jump in to get this coin going again

I am one of the Catcoin devs, and I also happened to have paid something like $5,000 for urea this spring. Please join #catcoin-dev on irc and let's discuss a concept that we've developed that may solve this problem by allowing multiple coins to 'time share' the same underlying hash rate.

And I agree with you completely that pools (unless they are p2pool) are a bad thing for anyone that actually wants to reliably trade Uro for Urea. And all of the pump-and-dump wankers who are going to scream about 'it needs a pool' are missing the point that the reason this coin is valuable is because it's backed by a volatile (figuratively and literally) commodity.

I'll be doing my own due-diligence in the next few weeks on whether the Uro foundation really has the required connections to the fertilizer industry they need. If not, we might be able to fix that, because the concept is actually really quite interesting. You can see other things I've written about fertilizer at http://grid.coop/20x2020-AFN.pdf

Hozer: we are investigating merged mining with DRK. We aim to have this ready in 5 months when the Uro block rewards will drop to 10% of current levels. We can work together on the merged mining code with DRK devs if you like. In either case the code will be made public as usual for all to benefit.

It would be best if we can get merged mining working with p2pool.

We will attempt to contact the following operators about this update:

Miners are advised to stop all mining until further notice.

We will be uploading updated Windows and Mac wallets soon. Current wallet users are recommended to backup their current wallets using File > Backup Wallet. Please note that there should be no disruption to your account and this is just a precautionary measure. To upgrade to the new wallet simply delete the old Uro-qt.exe file and run the new version.

The update process is expected to complete by Monday noon (actual update only takes about 1 hour but we need to wait for all pools, exchanges, block explorers, etc to update their Urod instances).

For users with funds on exchanges - its is safest to not send your funds out of the exchange until the update is completed - although there should be no loss of funds in either case. Trading itself is not affected.
