Intriguing chart and concept.
Issues:
-Can't find the coin on coin source site and on OP it says physical letter from them to you is pending (that was 3 months ago)
-no ULTC holders have actually been made whole yet (ie proof of concept is still concept)
-no clarity on who exactly this Dev is
-no clarity on how exactly this concept will NOT get taken advantage of by fraudsters (ie if my Bittrex is hacked and all my ULTC stolen how exactly do I prove that someone stole it versus me just transferring it to another address and claiming I was victim of theft)
-reading back through thread this Dev has somewhat of a history of getting hopes up without follow through (UBTC and other coins launching).
-'Router Research, Inc' from Umbrella's home page doesn't seem to exist according to State of California Secretary of State company search site, perhaps it's under a different name?
Potential:
-could legitimately be a game changer because we know there is a need in crypto land for some type of 'insurance' in case of hack or exchange 'goxing'.
-at only $250k market cap this is a good, solid, cheap speculative bet.
-chart showing accumulation phase is well under way, no consistent red flag dumping at all and all available coins keep disappearing in between pumps, hugely bullish.
-a UDRK asset could be huge. MintPal's theft was quite possibly most devastating to DRK out of all the alt cryptos, and has left many of us scrambling for an alternative exchange. UDRK could a chunk of those was wanting a safety net now.
All-in-all, ULTC is getting more and more attention by leading the BTC volume on Bittrex each day and so far Dev hasn't abandoned ship yet with the rise in price so it's worth a small gamble for traders.

Well Robert Murray, do you plan on addressing these other issues?
Hello Jesse Livermore,
Let me give these a stab...
Issues:
-Can't find the coin on coin source site and on OP it says physical letter from them to you is pending (that was 3 months ago)
The listing is about 3 pages back, only because we were the first ones to register and get verified. Coinssource was very speedy with the address verification and we got moved from 6/7 to 7/7 stars the same week.
-no ULTC holders have actually been made whole yet (ie proof of concept is still concept)
Not sure what you mean by made whole? Do you mean reimbursed? If so, here is one example: http://umbr.la/inSured-no clarity on who exactly this Dev is-no clarity on how exactly this concept will NOT get taken advantage of by fraudsters (ie if my Bittrex is hacked and all my ULTC stolen how exactly do I prove that someone stole it versus me just transferring it to another address and claiming I was victim of theft)
How do regular insurance companies stop fraud? They don't, they mitigate risk to the fullest extent.
Risk management is a top priority and so is fraud prevention. This is where the investigation takes place and there is good log management in place to help paint the picture. When a breach occurs, the exchange knows and will work with us to supply us the information we need. This is why we only work with exchanges who we can trust. We will eventually have a SIEM in place that sends us logs in real time. In the case of a complete disaster, like the exchange disappearing from the face of the earth this type of system would be invaluable. The individual opening the claim should have all the supporting documentation like emails, or possible password resets available for us to see.
We do everything in baby steps. We are only going to insure a limited amount of customers to start and we are capping the total amount insurable. Will there be some growing pains along the way? I imagine so...-reading back through thread this Dev has somewhat of a history of getting hopes up without follow through (UBTC and other coins launching).
I take full responsibility for Umbrella-BTC not being launched on time. I jumped the gun on announcing it only because the coding has been completed. I am a firm believer in extended beta times, especially after what hapend during the ULTC launch. I want a smooth, bug free launch and I want it to be a success. If it needs to be delayed a few months so I can relesase it bug free with more features I am going to do that. I can say that we have a firm commitment from Poloniex for a launch day listing which is a plus. So again, I apologize but it will be worth the wait.-'Router Research, Inc' from Umbrella's home page doesn't seem to exist according to State of California Secretary of State company search site, perhaps it's under a different name?

We are just getting started and have a long road ahead of us. There will be ups and downs, price corrections, swings, product delays etc...but we will stay committed. Also, we are looking for good people to join the team. Anyone who is interested PM me please.
