As far as preparation is concerned, the only way to go is...to wait for further announcements from the team. They for sure will have it tested out thoroughly, and they'll be the ones to tell the requirements to host a masternode. As long as IoT stays a focus, we can still assume that what I call "shitty computer" will probably be able to host a masternode. Which is probably gonna be a potential weakness for the network.

What am I calling "shitty computer"? Something old and slow, old CPU with little memory (512 Mb?), slow harddisk...

But it all depends on how the masternodes are coded: if they demand little from each node, and there are lots of nodes in the network, everything should be okay, even with "shitty" computers. Once again, let's trust the team to make the best choices there

Hi, what is describe as not shitty machines or maybe any requirements on the masternodes? any specific to uPlexa? or is it same as other crypto MN?
My intention is to own MN but needed further info as to prepare ahead before jumping in. 

nice trade on Graviex, go go go

I for one am really excited at the chance of staking and or owning a MN so roll on the hard fork so we can get on with the PoS/MN

[/quote] What is the date of PoW algo change? It seems that now pump became a dump, -30% in a day [/quote]

The date for the hardfork is April 29th, or block 162,090. For more information check https://medium.com/@uplexa/uplexa-algorithmic-change-upxtwo-7066e5b9237a
The dump is just a retrace from a nice pump it had last week, and it's not going anywhere near the low levels it was a week ago.
But let's focus on the technical part and underlying idea instead of price, because the project stands, no matter what the price is. Price will get better, just taking it slow at the moment,
and remember we're still at the beginning of the journey.

What is the date of PoW algo change? It seems that now pump became a dump, -30% in a day

You're totally seing it right, it's very underrated now.

Why? Well, the global bear market can explain this partly.

The miners/dumpers too... we've seen lots of dumps from big miners, though they seemed to "calm down" recently Maybe they understood that what they sold for the price of peanuts was worth much more than that

Being under the radar explains it too... Even though lots of communication efforts have been made by the team and community, there are so many projects out there, it's not so easy to quickly get what makes one project more interesting and valuable. For this matter, the team has always had the best behavior ever: keeping the eyes on the objectives, getting the work done and pushing the project higher in terms of fundamental value.

It was even funny to see the lead Dev write "daaaaamp it" in the trading discussion on the discord as if he didn't even care about the exchange price

Interesting coin, but why is the price on this low niveau? Seems quite underrated, or am i seeing this wrong?

The reason is upcomming PoW algo change. Everyone is trying to pull more coins before it kicks in.
Then roadmap updates which show that everything is on track and team works very good.
Third - many IoT miners start appearing here and there.
Fourth - Announcement for upcoming utility Masternodes later this year.
Fifth - many new folks heard about this coin thanks to the active Discord team.
Sixth - Stex is now the primary exchange which attracts traders.

Why this rise recently? The price was tripled in a week or so. What was the reason for that?

A new comparative table showing the main differences of uPlexa from other anonymous cryptocurrencies.

Will the higher hash rate result in coins coming faster to the market?

Thank you for your update! This is a good interaction

Interesting concept of mixing blockchain pow type and internet of things. Will keep the eye on this project.

How is the price an issue? It hasn't been with Dash, as far as I know

If masternodes are too easy to afford, people are gonna host them on shitty unstable machines and it will harm the network.
 
We don't need people who are in for a "quick buck", but people who will keep the network strong...

The initial goal concerning the required collateral was to be "accessible" and yet "not too easy to get". No doubt that limit is hard to define, though..

And let's not forget to consider the total supply VS max number of masternodes. The max supply is pretty high, don't forget about it!

Wow, sounds like the devs got there shite together. I hope the hardfork goes smooth, because given the recent history of this project, the devs are top notch and expectations are really high now. Keep it up guys!

I really hope for more profitable IoT mining, since my phone (60h/s) doesn't give me that much UPX at the moment. The difficulty for mining overall is steady and high as well,
which unfortunately for small miners it's much tougher to get some coins: I get 500UPX now in more than two days:-/. On the other hand they're worth much more now, and continue to be more worth in the future.

Bring on Moonfriday!

Here is the latest news from devs:

"We have scheduled a PoW hardfork for Tuesday, April 29th (or block 162,090). The hardfork will require you to update your wallets, miners, and pools to the latest version. Wallet versions 2.1.0 will be released early next week (22nd-23rd). The code has been updated at our github repository for any and all pool operators & miner developers to take a look at.
This PoW Hardfork will allow for an even more profitable experience for IoT devices whilst simultaneously helping the network defend against FPGA & ASIC miners. Hashrates for all miners will increase dramatically,(sorry neqinox), even more so for lower end devices.
What has been done in this hardfork?
* Upgraded base PoW algorithm to CNv8 from CNv7
* Reverse shuffle operators
* 128KB Memory
* 32,768 Iterations
How to prepare for the hardfork:
* Announcements will be made via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, and Discord next week regarding which miners are ready for the upcoming hardfork. Once the announcements have been made, update your mining software to those supporting the hardfork (Currently XMRig-UPX, FruityMiner, and UPX Android miner).
* Update your GUI, command-line, and/or Android wallets sometime between the 24th-29th of April"

P.S. - price is rising even more on Stex

Hey buddy, just a follow up. I did exactly that, and got all my coins in my new GUI wallet. Very low fee's to send, or at least more in line now 

Thanks again, for the tip
