Bumface: If you are going to tout the speed of this coin to media, be prepared to answer questions that are similar to this:
Why is Ultracoin any faster than other coins with 30 second block times like Maxcoin or Velocity coin?
I don't know if they are faster or slower, but I doubt the person that asks that question (and it could just be your semi-knowledgeable crypto enthusiast as well) knows the answer either. Have a good answer that makes people understand UTC really is faster than some alternatives (if it is).

bumface: new contest idea, "Beat Bumfaces Record" See who can pass a transaction over the greatest distance in the shortest time, announce it for a week and give them a day or two to do it. Then do simple calculation to get miles or kilometers per second. I feel this will encourage people to get investing in UTC more than anything, well, in of the genre of promo's. It gives everyone a chance and participate in a fun activity getting worldwide recognition.

Take witness to the prowess and undeniable speed of UTC's transaction times. You are witnessing a transaction being sent from the Netherlands to New York to Australia and back to the Netherlands in an astounding 2:31, confirmed. This is revolutionary and perhaps the greatest asset of any currency, digital or not. Do not underestimate the value being demonstrated here. Welcome to the future.

UTC is unbelievably fast and so much less frustrating than waiting for BTC confirms.
The video is great but for noobs i think you should do a voice over, we may well understand it but for a noob it may be a little hard to follow what is going on voice over should fix that

BTC was $827 USD on January 7th and is $615 USD now. Please explain to all of us how that correlates to an uptrend?
Uptrend = higher highs and higher lows. Frankly, I don't believe there is any way in hell its going below its low of 400 without some massive panic (more panic than when gox got shut down). Not happening :p

I've got it on Facebook now. Promoted the post with a 7 day ad campaign.
Also going to post it to the website, forum, etc. Really need to push this facet more than anything else. It is groundbreaking to say the least.

great! Question for you - I'm working on UTC charts, would like to put them on the website. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get/store data - fastest would be to run a cron job on the server and store the data in a database, and jquery the db to update the chart. But that would require space and processing power. Can the website server support that? If not, then the exchanges would be queried directly from each user, which would be slow. Your thoughts?
If they host the website with me, I can make sure this works but I think Ziggy had set the hosting up. I have no issue hosting the site if its to better the community and availability of information. Bumface is sleeping at the moment so we can touch upon that in the morning. I'd say the performance based route would be best. Might as well take the high road when possible.
Also, would you be able to build out a Live ticker? In addition to the chart, a small ticker across the top of the page would be a nice touch.
Sure, let me know. I have it on an aws server right now (just a micro), may be able to get a sense of performance there. Just have pieces put together so far, a lot of work still to do. Might have something working tomorrow. And a ticker won't be a problem if I get the rest working

Because SMOS/BAMT is only 32 bit I am thinking about making an 64 bit UTC Miner
because I have a lot of rigs I was leaning towards making an PXE boot system along with USB boot sticks
or maybe a thin-client setup
with Current N factors we now need to make use of more then 4 GIG of RAM which 32 Bit system can not do
I will also be including CPU miner in package
aiming to have it completed by next N factor change
Image file will be kept to a minimal size and you will just have to extend the partition sizes

CT paid 2 +1 + 1 = 4 BTC
Well, there you go. That's even better than I initially thought.
March 08, 2014, 06:42:30 PM
On CT, other coins were already past their most important time of development and had been on CT for at least 4 months that I can vouch for. The other coins were rooted deeply in the BTC world as a whole, not just solely to one major exchange. Thus the other coins were not nearly as affected as UTC by CT. The other coins had other problems they were dealing with.
I was aware CT paid cryptsy votes, I neglected to mention that, glad you brought it up. A nice gesture, even sacrilege, but still, $1000 of btc (at the time) isn't nearly a fraction of what people took losses for and is a drop in the bucket for CT. Also, convenient how CT and Cryptsy open at the same time so CT paying for votes was of no use to people trading UTC, just a feather in the cap for CT public relations.

CT paying 2 BTC was able to assist greatly in making UTC #1 from day 1.
That in itself was a huge publicity boost for UTC bringing in lots of new miners / investors / traders.
So although UTC getting on Cryptsy didn't help UTC, the voting system did help UTC quite a bit.
I do know what you are getting at about CT causing many people losses.
Especially for those who had coins stuck there. But I don't think it's all their fault for UTC prices dropping.
UTC was just too reliant on CT. But it wasn't their fault that that was the case really. Just bad timing for them/us.
If UTC was on MintPal and Cryptsy also at the time when CT went down, I doubt it would have tanked like it did.

So I'm wrong to expect the same trading experience as with stocks' platforms? CT was hacked for fiat.... FIAT. Basic "day one of the internet marketplace" stuff. I could sway my decision if cryptos were taken and not fiat, chocking it up to "another hacking" and stereotype all the exchanges. No cryptos were taken. And you disagree that CT was not responsible for people taking a loss at a market price CT created by dissolving UTC trading for a week? I did say it was foolish for those to sell, but they were influenced by CT. CT should be kissing more ass instead of asking us to pay to kiss someone else's ass.
You do realize that CT admin paid 2 BTC to Cryptsy votes?
CT is also giving out free UTC in the shoutbox and twitter.
They are now willing to give more UTC to the dev team.
It was also CT which allowed UTC to become established so quick in the first place. No?
So yeah, they did impact UTC but it wasn't all their fault for impacting UTC. Did they impact other coins also?
They were doing us a favor IMO. It was Ultracoin's fault more like for not being on other alternate exchanges.
