Topic: [ANN] [ASIC-RESISTANT] UltraCoin (UTC) - Ultrafast 6 second transactions!! - page 380. (Read 946659 times)

To point 1 and 2 above;  yes I had not noticed the higher efficiency on the comparison page.  I do not ever intend to provide improper information.  Another found and posted right below me (Puycheval), the R7 250 was doing 2.47 kh/s @ 35w.  It would seem then an N = 15 would possibly be the last GPU point.  However, even at 14 it seems there are only 1 or 2 GPU's that are efficient?

To point 3.  Whew!  At least there was something 

Thanks for the reply with more information also.  Glad to see you post!

Everyone has to get off Nitro seriously.
If we dont , UTC is going to only have one pool left.

Nitro needs to raise fees to 5%~10% spread the hash around.... its not healthy for the coin to be that centralized.





Thats not good!
By mining there you are hurting the very coin you are mining.

i have half rig at leet, other at nitro. no significant difference.

So Nitro or leetpools? Whats the better choice you guys?

I've always used Nitro, but occasionally the pool goes offline. Not sure why. It's great but maybe not as stable as some others.

Thanks. After these changes result:

Silly question.  What is a BAMT?

Cool deal, sounds good. Thank you! What sucks though is when I have the CPU miner AND the GPU miner running at the same time on my rig, my GPU starts mining much less efficiently.

AWSOME !!

3 days old and works sweet with UTC


Intel and AMD rigs running fine with it .. now to get my 64 bit BAMT's running need to access more of that RAM


Personally CPU mining is no problem , people will eventually pull their GPU's off to mine something else and leave CPU mining UTC .. no drama their .. same amount of daily coins with difficulty adjusting

Yes, the Athlonfx one. I have however, tried every single one and this one works best. It DOES submit shares, VERY slowly. One thing I did notice is on the workers page, the difficulty for video card is at 19.37, however my CPUs difficulty is 64?

I'm using an AMD 965 Black Edition and I am only getting 1.4 kh/s total....... 8gb system ram. Why does mine seem so underwhelming?

u should use avx2

Running a Core-I7-4770 3.4 GHz 12.GB Ram
averaging about 9.9 Khash total across all cores

Found the I7 miner version works, but so does the Core2 version, so that is what I used.  I see no difference between the 2.

The settings are: minerd-x64-core2 -o stratum+tcp://pickaxe.pool.pm:3306 -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxxx -a scrypt-chacha --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

The key is each setting name is different than the ultracoin miner, eg. no --sj- and --time is --starttime

Cheers.

Can you post your config, and tell us what CPU you use, and your hash speed per core?

PRICE:
====

Despite the price slumping slightly the hashrate on UTC seems to remain globally constant (albeit slightly decreasing). Good.
This might be explained by people leaving DOGE and going back to LTC (look at its hashrate) and other alts.

Therefore this goes in the direction that either the market might gets the perception that UTC holds value or this is the novelty effect.

Anyway this pool of new miners that stick to the coin is both good and bad: good because it obviously helps consolidate the coin; and bad because there are always casual miners who dump every now and then among them.
NB: there need to be fresh coins on the market anyway, so these dumpers are welcome.

A potential side effect regarding dumping miners would be to keep the price where it is right now, slightly decreasing on a daily basis.
Anyway do not panic: as soon as profitability turns to another coin we should get rid of these dumpers and rise at least a bit until we get profitable again, and so on until we get more market attention.

Price evolution as of now is all about the fight between market and dumpers.

It's all about marketing and publicity, and this what lots of people are doing now. Do not stop your efforts, for they will be rewarded on the mid & long terms if we get lucky.


MARKETING: UTC = SPEED!
========

Transaction SPEED is the biggest single value proposition we can make for this coin. This coin is unique because of its transaction speed. We absolutely need to capitalize on this and pass the message to the public. The rest is secondary. And we need to communicate and become known for this because competition will hit the market soon.

We must get UTC = SPEED, or better: SPEED = UTC in the mind of the public. AND we must communicate we are the first to be so fast.

Having tried transactions between wallets, exchanges, etc. with BTC, LTC and UTC, I shall say that UTC transaction speed is simply awesome. This sole transaction execution time aspect makes the coin extremely convenient and cutting edge on the market.

Bumface you're absolutely right to underline this in your video, but you need to redo it by comparing this difference in speed between these 3 coins.

It is important because BTC is the reserve currency of all cryptos. This is going to be the global savings account equivalent. Not worth for everyday transactions because it is slow. Count 30 minutes for a transaction approx.

LTC was supposed to be fast. Actually it's much faster than BTC, but not nearly as fast as needed should you shop for groceries or fill your gas tank. You still have to wait for a few minutes. Not bad but not practical.

UTC fills a gap because with its 30s tx time it really starts to be practical and build up credible competition in the payment card field. This is the target you need to subtly point out in your demo without being too bold or aggressive, because this is where we get mainstream adoption.
