Your problem is in finding pools which mine ONLY uno.  There aren't any.  It is all merge-mined, such that you find any other sha256d coin of your choice, mine that and get a tiny bit of unobtanium as a bonus.  Do your search for "sha256" "altcoins" and from that select from the subset which merge-mine with unobtanium.

I've just been testing ispace.co.uk, and unless you have 500 Ghash/s or bigger that won't help, as they do not accumulate more than a month's worth, so that never reaches sufficient threshold for an uno payout.  It will though pay out many of the sha256 altcoins which can be sold the next day, to buy unobtanium from several of the altcoin exchanges.  Mining is as simple as choosing a port number for suitable cgminer to look for the usual stratum target.  I'll talk you through that some more if you ask here. 

Be choosy about which altcoin you mine though, as some of us prefer that your mining equipment never gets used for illegal-trading coins, and only gets used for the helpful altcoins.  A few of them have enough of a hint in the name that you'll see straightaway that you don't want those ones.   Many of them have a rapid difficulty tweaking property such that in the space of an hour, the difficulty of one of the ones which I mine sometimes gets doubled after arrival of some 5Thash/s brute.  If in doubt, mine for five minutes and then download the relevant pool blockchain log to see how mining of that altcoin has been going.

I dunno if there is any still left...

I think the team is launching a new tokencoin called Prototonium or some like that...

here take a look:
