F2Pool dropped UnitedScryptCoin support from October 1. We are also selling domain name unitedscryptcoin.com and unitedscryptcoin.org, together with our entire reserve of more than 8 million coins, or 87% of all coins in existence. Please place a bid.

Hmm, I wasn't able to contact the USC dev at all - I think he's MIA.

As far as I can tell, the only live merge-mined scrypt coins left are PesetaCoin and LottoShares.

There is another two alive merged mining coins, tacocoin and the newest umbrella-litecoin. In the next days/weeks dogecoin also join to the merge mining with litecoin.

Give-me-coins are merge mining LTC with PTC, uLTC and SYS and they're working on adding DOGE to that.

HUC Huntercoin can be merge mined on SHA256 or scrypt and while there doesn't seem to be any big market for it, it does have a game built into it which is a fun innovation for those that way inclined. Discus Fish offer it.

It seems that the USC official website has gone MIA too; I went there to get the wallet since I'm getting USC for free when mining with Discus Fish however the USC website now goes to the fashion brand USC.co.uk. I don't think I can be bothered to compile myself for what looks like a dodo coin...

Wow. That's big news for Doge - I don't know how I missed that!

It's good news, but they need to adjust their inflation rate sharply downwards or they are going to get slaughtered.

Merge-mining will give them chain security at a low cost, so they have no need for high inflation any more. A lot more of the merge-mined coins will get dumped than the solo mined coins.

Hey, if a developer could join #ixcoin on freenode we (Myriadcoin) would like to help upgrade your client and invite you to test our new PolyMYR merge mining pool.

Litecoin is right coin
Does anyone know of a P2Pool repo that pays out the merged mined coins to the miners, and not only to the pool's wallet?

Wouldn't your miner be submitting duplicate POW to the same chain? 
Yes, it would.

I have merged mined USC (and other merged coins) with many different primary chains but have never tried merged mining with itself.
Wouldn't your miner be submitting duplicate POW to the same chain?

Is it possible to mine USC as both a primary and secondary coin at the same time?

USC needs to relaunch with more innovation than just merged minability as that is no longer important to anyone really

Scrypt merged mining is a great step forward, but I agree it is not enough to excite investors without additional innovation.

Verified and paid again!

Thanks to almightyruler for his quick response to Hyacin.

Users of precompiled binaries should not expose SSL to the outside world (the default configuration does not use SSL). Safe binaries will arrive in due course.

Even when a coin is new, users should only have one or two addnodes max. When the network is stable, addnodes aren't necessary any longer, though it doesn't hurt to have healthy supernodes.

OP, you're going to need to update the client soon--within the week, if not within a few days.

"Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."

I'm running the latest version though and it doesn't look like a new one has been released recently ... wallet can't sync, said it was 3 hours behind when I woke up (about two hours ago), and now it says it's 5 hours behind ...

What happened at ~7:30 AM EST?  Any news/fix/solution to this?

Had a quick look at the source and it seems that message may be displayed when you fork. The network seems to be producing blocks still; last one minted around 7 minutes ago, block 87450. Have you tried quitting and restarting your client a couple of times? If more than one node has forked with you it may take a couple of goes before you get the right mix of peers to get you back onto the main chain. Having said that, I cannot see any obvious fork.

Awesome, thanks! Tried restarting a few times and no dice, so I toasted my blocks, chainstate and database directories and started fresh.  When it got to about 24 hours remaining it dawned on me that I had a bunch of "addnode" statements in the config and that they could have been what was keeping me from getting back on track, so I stopped it, removed those just to be safe, restarted it, and am back up to date and good again!  Thanks a bunch!
