Topic: [ANN] Unbreakablecoin (UNB) | SHA256 - Over 3x Bigger then Bitcoin | No Premine - page 37. (Read 134933 times)

My pool is fine with it but I don't put UNB in the mix unless I notice there's 100+ ths... and I only leave it on for a few blocks.

It's based off BTC, so 2016. Theres about another 1000 blocks till the next change unfortunatly

Too bad I don't have any locally hosted hardware I can point at it. Maybe I will crunch some #s and see if its worth renting some hashrate to point at it. Any pools you know of that play nice with nicehash/betarigs?

Whats the time between diff adjustments? If the diff adjusts too far apart, that could explain why we are seeing no new blocks.

read the thread. diff is at 24mil it's being mined, just slowly. feel free to drop 20-30Th on it now and then.

So this is supposed to be a fully functioning crypto that has no new blocks in 24 hours? This doesn't seem right to me.

That is all the blocks.

Anybody have a bootstrap or a highspeed node I can use to sync?
Syncing from scratch and my wallet is stuck on 45302 of 45305blocks.

The block explorer seems to be a few days behind?

Does anyone know which block the next diff change occurs on? Is it around 46368?

Maybe Terpin can get me free tickets.  He does that for business partners at certain events.  Thanks though!

Generally a lot of big names in the industry come to each Inside Bitcoins event. You would enjoy yourself for sure. You can get 10% off tickets with the code, BTCTALK.

I'm gonna do my best to be there.  Is this gonna be a major Bitcoin event - like with all the top players there? 

I’ve been invited to speak at @InsideBitcoins in San Diego December 14-16! I hope to see you there

New UNB Block Explorer / Crawler / Rich List / Total Supply / Difficulty

"1.4 months old" -- I presume you meant years.  The Genesis block was created Wednesday, March 19, 2014 07:00:15 GMT making it roughly 16 months old.  It's official description is as a 300 second coin.  It may have actually been similar to that prior to the early 2015 P&D, but it's been a far cry from that ever since.  UNB difficulty has been 24,965,256.2512 since before March 25, 2015.

You're apparently counting on the largesse of owners of modern ASIC mining gear to donate their resources for the welfare of UNB (my electricity costs 14.5 to 17cts/KWH so presumably you're finding a few who pay nothing or next to), but the crypto-fact is miners generally mine for the purpose of generating funds (covering the electric bill is usually the bare minimum).  UNB is a long, long way from accomplishing that.  The crypto-fact is there's no reason to expect a miner to mine UNB until the difficulty makes it at least affordable to do so.  Which means that there can be no expectation of UNB transaction time becoming reasonable for a long, long time.  And when that happens, don't expect it to last for longer than perhaps two to four weeks, we'll then be most likely right back to where we are now.

My last UNB coin transfer started 8PM Wednesday and the necessary sixth confirmation was aprox 10AM Friday.  Can you imagine how many retail businesses would be willing to accommodate a transaction delay of even a quarter of that?  How many times do you think the difficulty will have to halve before UNB transaction time becomes acceptable for real-world usage?

I have been mining Unb for a long time. I have seen Multi-Pool get on UNB and the blocks fly by. Right now it is slow but it has never broke for me, I will keep mining it. I like the fact Jim sticks to his word about not changing UNB. Jim works very hard on UNB I admire his dedication.  I also like the fact that Jim has spoken at several major Bitcoin conferences and has done some big interviews. UNB also has Michel Turpin one of Bitcoins top 30 most influential people on the team. Those two things alone mean a lot to me. That brings awareness to UNB from a lot of people in the right circles  and in time I am sure the price will reflect that.

Blasko,

What case use and target market do you guys have in mind for UNB?  TIA!

In most cases miners jump onto the most profitable coin minable at the moment. Therefor, if big miners jump from UNB to other coin's pools, then confirmations will be slower for UNB,,,, regardless , UNB remains unbroken (and to this day since release, UNB is one of the few coins that can say this). The attempts to compare UNB's recent slower blocktimes as "broken" are well noted, however, are completely untrue.

To this day, UNB has still never stopped, malfunctioned, or broke. Even with hard to break blocks, UnbreakableCoin just keeps on going. At 17 months old UNB is steadily chugging away at blocks, and most importantly, it keeps on doing this without changes. If you want to say we're slow "aka UNB's slower than Bitcoin", that's fine for the present moment. I admit confirmations are indeed slower than we prefer, however making claims that UNB is broken is far from the truth. In fact UNB has never stopped once.

Still even after posting this, someone will still make a claim that UNB is broken. A word to UNB's competition, you make UNB better by talking about it everyday. Seriously, and , well thank you.


Still and for the moment I admitting recognize that UNB is currently slower than anyone of us would like, but like I've said over and over, simply mine UNB and it runs faster.  This is a pure fact cryptonians.

UNB follows the path of BTC and we're exceeding our plans and BTC's first 2 years at the moment.

As miners you are free to support any crypto coin you want to, (and trust me I watch UNB mining very closely) but making comments that UNB should be changed / altered to make it a faster payout for miners seems like pure crypto greed to me.  UNB is not designed to support this ideal and again, UNB will not change.

Over time, UNB will pan out to be exactly where it should be.  However in the meantime, if you want to get rich over night on a crypto , UNB is most likely not for you.  UNB was designed to give crypto users a truly trusted decentralized alternative. I never expected it would make millionaires overnight. This is part of the reason I have been preaching long term for altcoins since day one.

Except of course for the days when none are found ...

Really, look at the facts:

UNB specification:
block time = 300 seconds
Difficulty re target - 2016 blocks (7 days at 300 second blocks)

Last difficulty adjustment : 1 March that is 136 days ago
Number of blocks found since 1 March: approx 731 (no working block explorer again, so just an estimate)
Actual block time: ~16,000 seconds or 50 times the target.

So no it isn't frozen but it is glacially slow ...

If that isn't "broken" I'd love to know what your definition of "broken" is?
