Agreed, if you are going to support Ultracoin by taking it to the media, please write about it in a professional, sourced, and well written manner. Preferably direct it to the editor of said media outlet, and provide information on why it should be a story, give them contact information, give them what makes Ultracoin unique. A good example is the relationship between DCgirl and Crytpo, it's not just a story about Ultracoin, but brings a human aspect into play. It doesn't necessarily have to be about the human aspect, but it does have to be interesting and make for a good headline. Bring some creativity into the pitch. I am a journalist myself, so this is definitely something I'm familiar with. Some outlets that would really be interested in Ultracoin would be outlets that deal with technology and politics. Such as as Adam Vs The Man (libertarian circles), Wired.com (technological circles), and popular blogs that deal with economics and politics, not just crypto. One example would be Max Keiser's blog (maxkeiser.com). Other big sites would that involve themselves with crypto are Reason, The Economist, We Are Change, and others. If there are any other writers out there, I suggest we pitch some stories to these outlets.

Some general suggestions:

1.  If I was an editor that received unsolicited email asking me to write about something, if I take the time to read it at all, it better give me a good reason to write about it.  This does not.  Much like cover letters to resumes, you are wasting your time unless you tailor your message to the exact person that's going to read it. 

If you're sending this to The Economist (or similar magazine, just putting one out everyone would know), you would pitch this as a potential article about the difficulties of developing a legitimate alternate payment ecosystem within an industry dominated by get-rich-quick schemes and  immature, rigged market that makes trading penny stocks look safe.  The crux is you still have to define what really makes UTC standout, what is the compelling story that makes UTC different than other coins in the alt market?  What struggles have you overcome?  What developments set you apart that make you not like the other coins that exist in the rigged market?

If you were sending this to Wired, you would pitch it as a piece about the rise of ASICS and altcoins, and the struggle to keep video card mining as a legitimate means for cryptocurrency to not become the centralized beast it was meant to oppose.  Emphasis on hashing algorithms, ASICS vs GPUs, and, once again, a compelling reason why the story should revolve around  how UTC fits in this picture and why it's different. 

So on and so forth.

Do not send out letters with generic platitudes about great people doing great things and then list none of those things or people.  Do not spam links that require an interested party to try to figure out why they should be interested.  No one of any importance is going to take any of that seriously. 

And most of all -- if you don't have a compelling story yet, do something so that you do have one.  You are not Coke, you can't just spam your name as part of your advertising campaign.  You don't have any brand recognition. 

Notice the links above about DCGirl were all about her and her relationship with crypto / UTC.  Get the interest?  Women and Crypto / Coding are about as rare as Gaming and Women.  It's unique, hence, something worth writing / reading about. 

And that should be your ultimate litmus test for anything you send out -- Would you want to read that email if it showed up in your Inbox?  Would you care about what that person said if you didn't know them or anything about what they were talking about?  Would you click on any of those links?  Would you want to know more about it at all? 

Help I'm getting this error when trying to mine from My wallet.
[15:40:23] - Miner failed to start. Make sure you have the minerd executable and libraries in the same directory as UltraCoin-Qt.

Do I also need to create a new worker at the pool

I will dig in to it after work and see what is up

Unfortunately not. I think devs are working on one, but it's gonna take a while.
Edit:
There was one: http://utcmultipool.com/ but it' down at the moment, you can check it once a day if it's up.

Any multipool?

Wirly,
What OS? Are you on Mac or Windows? I'm on windows
I just sent 10,000 and only had a .00001 transaction fee. I was also using coin control with just one block transaction clicked on to take coin out of.

Edit: I just cleaned up all my small block transactions received from mining to try and keep my amount of blocks to a minimum as per the guidelines that Bumface's Hobonickels link suggests to do http://wiki.hobonickels.info/index.php?title=Coin_Control
I had no problem sending multiple block transactions to cryptsy to consolidate my coin control blocks. Still only a .00001 transaction fee to send.

Keep us updated! Wish I could help out more.

Think with al the news that is coming out en asics closing in! it wont go that low!!!
and there are some big buy walls under 6. so i would put some buy's at 7 and hope they fall

So what you think, good time to buy?

Just a tip to those who are waiting for MP: Since the multipool is not operational yet I have been acting as my own multipool and It has worked out very well ! 

weird, i have sent 10k yesterday without problems....did you update with the method provided in the post?

I have donated 2,400 UTC now and pledge a further 50% of all daily coins I mine while Elsa is rowing across the pacific. Also twitted her to wish her all the speed of Ultracoin

NEW WALLET giving me a headache. I can not send more than few hundred UTC in one transaction. WHY???
I want to send 27K UTC to someone, minting is turned off, In coin control a total of 28K coins are selected and the fee to send is 1.13 UTC based on 113kb transaction size (.01/kb). After I enter my wallet passphrase all I get is "ERROR CREATING TRANSACTION"....I checked, it not a problem with passphrase. I tried sending 10k UTC but still same error. Send a hundred and no problem....

Hey guys, Steven here, your webmaster over at Ultracointalk.org/ If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend you head over and create an account. Ultracoin needs a place where discussions can be documented, filed and created. Bitcointalk is not the best place for that, Ultracointalk is the only dedicated Ultracoin forum on the web. As of today, I also implemented an anti-spam module on the forum, it has blocked 400 attempts by spam bots and seems to be working well so far.

Very well stated, DCGirl. That's the mentality we need to maintain. UTC is only as strong as its weakest link.

That aside, just donated another 5000 to Elsa's fund. This is some very exciting stuff everyone. We should all be very proud to be a part of this. And thank you, DCGirl, for being the catalyst!

We have emailed them and many other publications, but yes, everyone should as well. So far the feedback from every site has been positive, so I expect some good coverage tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
