Are you suggesting setting up a stand alone exchange for trading of CBX/UNO exclusively?

The exchange is already ready ... https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=CBX_UNO

The advantage is cross support without the need to constantly back the price with BTC.  

The essence of this 'horizontal stuff,' Elambert, is a recognition that similar coins with small caps can 'cross-boot-strap' each other.

Now, in the present situation, members of either coin can trade the other via Bitcoin., and that's beneficial.

But if the two communities each see the other as a sort of 'holding tank' of value against each other* (and Bitcoin is not the middleman . . . ), really significant amounts of buy-support could become the norm.

We are calling here, fellow crypto-commodity developers, for a consideration of a fundamental change of consciousness.

*And I wanna discuss 'bagholderism' a bit later: long time community members end up with a little too much of one crypto than is perhaps healthy for its perception by potential investors. We could progress to significant otc trades between the communities.

Ok, I think I follow now. Your logic makes sense and is a good marketing tool to help UNO grow their market/trading pairs at Cryptopia. I am not opposed to CBX holders getting involved with this should they desire UNO. Just like with the CBX/LTC trade pair or Ripple/CBX trade pair at Cryptsy - people have more options to obtain what they desire without going through BTC.

However, for me personally, I honestly have no interest in other cryptos. So for me to trade CBX for Uno, LTC, Ripple, Bitcoin or even cash for that matter does not make sense. I have worked my butt off for over 2 years on CBX and am fully committed in heart, time and money to continuing this journey with 100% commitment and focus.

To each their own though, but I am confident in what we are doing and where we are going so I don't think I would be of much help in this endeavor...

Well, we've at least refreshed our cross-community relations! Let's see if the Cryptopia pair gains any traction 'unilaterally,' so to speak.

I know this may or may not be the best way to get listed on Bter, but our top position for CBX is increasingly challenged by number two in the voting list.

I have been putting in my 80 votes per day, but number Two is catching up on us; can you guys please help putting in more votes, please?

Let's get back to voting on Bter!!!!

Thanks

just offer the crooks 3 btc to be listed,
your coin would be active within a day or 2,

I just took a look at the UNO/CBX market. I think one of the problems is that people are not familiar with the rates and it takes effort to pick up a calculator. We're so used to BTC and LTC, when you see the price you remember it's history and can make a decision. I think at least a chart should be produced with historic UNO/CBX prices and overlays of both paired with BTC and USD to get a good picture. A better system to reflect on these prices could help get more interest in these altcoin pairings.

Great point BTCat. The conversion rate between these new trading pairs is a bit of a hurdle and definitely acts as a barrier to trading. The chart idea is a very good one.

long term it ought become a relatively flat rate
the idea is just to start to explorer the option to cross swap
so exploring the discovery of the fair market rate of exchange in low volume
no need for a hot competitive market
just a basis on the books open for all to see

anyone with the skills to generate and make public
the historic UNO/CBX prices and overlays of both paired with BTC and USD to get a good picture
pls feel free    keep us posted

Amen to that and a +1 from me. Competitive, transparent, fair market. Nice words, but...

How long does the coin stay listed with that payment? 

[IMZ]

Wa ha ha ha -- Btcat is so right about the arithmetic!

And if nothing else, it's great to see ideas being discussed among competent long-timer krypto geeks.

To help with pricing, we could add a UNO/CBX price ticker to http://unobtanium.uno

Installed the wallet and have been trying to download the chain for days. I leave it on and go to work, when I return, there is an out of memory error. I've got 250 G of free space and 8 gig ram on a Windows 8.1 system. I just keep restarting it...

Any advice?

Use the bootstrap download from the website so you can avoid downloading the entire chain. One of our community members actually just put together a step by step on how to do this. It can be found on our forum here.

@elambert thanks for the quick response. Easy fix - took me from ~350k blocks to download to ~177k blocks to download. Much better!

I have updated the bootstrap with the blockchain saved as of yesterday. You may want to go ahead and stop your current process and give the new file a go. It is live on the website download page.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

I get Error loading block database.

The .zip only had 1 file in it. the blk0001.dat, were there supposed to be 2 in it as before?

You are correct, fixing now - give me a few minutes please.
