What is the official word on resolution to this orphan problem?  I know stuhleman said something about a resolution within a week, but this is ridiculous.  Even nitro2 is at 28% orphans the last 24 hours.  Greekpool is at 26%.

You are effectively giving 75% of the miners a susbsidy right now and telling every new miner to go fuck himself as bonuses are for the old guard.  

The fix for this problem lays with the introduction of Level DB and other fixes into the client. I been working with Bumface behind the scenes to get the client fixed. When the update on the client comes we are removing any advantage that Nitro has over other pools, this advantage only exists because we could not sustain any growth with the coma bug. I am sure by now some of you have experienced a 10 to 15 minutes client slow slow start because of the bug, but I want you to consider that multiplied by 1000. When the fix is ready we will take severe measures to disallow the skewed hashrate at Nitro. I will be happy to have 30% of the total hash. I was hoping this will be done within a week time, but according to what Michael posted it might take three weeks. But now that things are in the open and there is a working strategy, we just need a little patience. I promise that as soon as this is fixed and all pools are updated and able to handle the traffic without any problems, I will start immediate action to resize Nitro even if it angers the miners, as this will be their responsibility for the community as well.

well said, all the wheels are in motion now. The new devs have already started coding yesterday.

But we are still short 1,4 btc guys, Paulgr and I are both putting 10k utc on it for the 20k utc that was part of deal....

So if UTC made you a nice profit in the past please donate some btc to 1H8rUGC3KMv7XnkJddD7XJRJQMDqmex7He

I love this coin. I designed a custom Physical Coin ( not finished yet ) , and also some Laser Engraved UTC Keychains!

The key chains finally came today!



I am listing them on a site I recently made as well!

I have it setup so I can manually take UTC payment ( can also take automated BTC, and LTC payments ), so test it out and let me know how it works!

http://www.cryptomemorabilia.com/

Any questions, send me a PM or email!

-Brian Gleason

Really nice,might get 1 or 2 of them at some point

Thanks!

I feel like giving 2 of these away!

For the next 24 hours, anyone who quotes my original keychain announcement above with the picture and website link, I will enter in a drawing. I will randomly pick 2 people out of everyone who quotes my message to help get the word out!

SxC, consider yourself entered already !

I wanted to update you,  that both sXc and noobyonekenobi are getting Free keychains from the give-away!

I have these currently available, and I also have a physical UTC coin being minted that should be done very soon! Stay tuned for that!

I will also help contributed by donating $1 for each UTC item sold ( keychain, and coin once its ready ) towards the dev team!

Once the new Mac wallet is up I will be happy to have that  (or any others if you need) on my Dropbox like now Smiley
I've got no more mining rig, so that's about all I can do for the time being Sad

utc.pool.pm has much lower orphan rate AFAIK.
0% in the last 24 hours and only 6% over last 7 days.
https://utc.pool.pm/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks

But yeah, something drastic needs to be done.
Hopefully we'll see something by next week.

PaulR1: that is an amazing offer!  Cheesy

dcgirl and xwebnetwork offerd 0.5 btc per person, but i just cant make them do that, as they are already doing so much....

Yes you are right, 0,5 BTC is maybe to much asking for hard working community members like dcgirl and xwebnetwork.

But maybe they are willing to donate 0.1 BTC    Grin


@ Bumface AKA Micheal.....


I am proud of you...  Wink Grin

Finally you get the whole picture about marketing "our coin" ...and next to this as a fellow Dutchman, as a serious big UTC Miner since day one, as  UTC Bag Holder (still did didn't sell one of my +220K of UTC coins) and as a UTC Believer I feel good what the UTC community pull's together. Again and again...

Keep up the good work as our UTC Captain.
Our "Captain America" Tongue

If I can be of any sort of help pm me and maybe I can....



well

we still need some btc to pay these devs  Shocked


Well Micheal..

> We did that as community once: pay together to get on Mintpal

> We did that as community twice: pay together to get on Cryptsy

I started twice that action and many UTC community members followed and donated big.

>> We can start that action of donating again !!!!!

@ Bumface aka Micheal.... please add here the BTC address for donating for the UTC Dev's....
 
Then I will try to start for the third time to get our community to donate...

UTC adress : UV65rd1p2D5TcAihXm4vdSWy89tTLajoEf

http://bitgo.pw:3731/address/UV65rd1p2D5TcAihXm4vdSWy89tTLajoEf


BTC adress : 1H8rUGC3KMv7XnkJddD7XJRJQMDqmex7He

https://blockchain.info/address/1H8rUGC3KMv7XnkJddD7XJRJQMDqmex7He

yes those adresses are correct, the target this time is 2 btc for the payment of the new devs

I am putting 20k utc on top of this per agreement with the new devs

Dear UTC Community Members:  Miners, Bag Holders, Believers and Supporters.

We need our UTC coin to grow more and more.... and get awareness all around

Bumface have good plan's for the very near future.

The Dev team needs at least 2 BTC to make things happen on short term.

I am willing to donate 0,5 BTC myself if at least 10 more UTC community members are willing to donate each at least 0,1 BTC.

If 20 UTC members are willing to donate at least each 0,1 BTC then I will donate myself 1,0 BTC.....

So guy's and girl's ... what we going to do to help our coin more in realizing a uptrend Huh[/i]



Put me down for 0,10 BTC greets Fabietech

COME ON GUY's AND GIRLS.... PLEASE DONATE SMALL OR BIG FOR THE DEV TEAM.... AND FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COIN



+ 1

I am willing to donate also 0,10 BTC .
So count me in please.

Don't ask what our coin can do for us (yet), but ask what we can do for our coin !

I just donate and send my first 0,5 BTC....

Common fellow community members...maybe your turn now Huh

you missed the

"Ultracoin @ swedish bitcoin conference 2014 in Stockholm"

I'll think about the BTC needed for the Dev's that wallet needs serous improvements
but I lost a fair whack of $$ last month and electric bill came in yesterday ..


also only getting half the coins I should be mining , damn Orphans

*Edit*

BTC is just short of 2 BTC Target I will pay the remaining .1 BTC

2 BTC Dev Goal Reached

Now go Fix that wallet
We have Ultra fast Coin
and Ultra slow wallet

Can you guys help me? This coin mining settings is killing me!  Huh
 I have 3X 290. I only can mine on I-12 any higher intensity gives me errors. Tried all possible TC, does not change anything. Tried ultracoinminer and cgminer-3.7.2-sj-0.03 but no luck.
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://utc.greekpool.eu:3337 -u hermantas.xfx290 -p x --scrypt-jane --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 -I 12 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 10 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-engine 950 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 --no-adl

1. I never user GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS. It seems to limit the speed of the cards to about 85% of full speed in certain scenarios.
So get rid of it and also delete it from the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment). You will need to reboot for it to take effect.

2. Use YACMiner. It allows finer control of numbers of threads (intensity) compared to standard cgminer/ultra-miner.
https://github.com/Thirtybird/YACMiner/releases

3. Then using YACMiner, try this setting. My friend gets 71Kh/s with his pair of 290 cards @ 1040Mhz. About 63-65 WU each.
You will need 8GB RAM on the PC. If you don't, you won't be able to use such large buffer size most likely.

Quote
yacminer.exe --scrypt-chacha -o -u -p -R 10240 -g 1 -w 128 --buffer-size 3624 --lookup-gap 3 --temp-cutoff 90 --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

FYI - I wrote a little guide on how to figure out the right values for your cards with YACMiner:

Someone is buying up a lot of cheap UTC right now at MintPal and driving up the price.
Over 5 BTC was added to the buy order side also at good amounts. Someone is smart.

do yoy know (or is there some calculator) how much UTC should I mine with 220KH/s and 200 WU ? (rejectc allmost 0 for an hour of mining)? Thanks

About 120-150 coins per day at current difficulty.
