I'm glad you think so, sir!!

I just hope our esteemed Dev-Team agree with you.   

Great input CRYPTONAIRE! They are all usefull complements for a building a real world usage for Ultracoin! I like it.

OK Steven, since you are asking for input, here are my suggestions for priority action:

https://coinomi.com/

https://bitsquare.io/

https://poswallet.com/faucet.php

http://rokos.space/

https://noblemovement.com/

That lot should certainly help put Ultracoin on the map!!   

Welcome to the OTHER SIDE everyone




Well said Steven - we are now at the exciting stage!

The network has been running on the new fork now for several days - and I think we can be sure its stable and efficient with the new wallet in place.

I am happy to hand over the torch now to Steven - and I look forward to supporting both him and the community in our forthcoming adventures.


Let the show begin

Dear Ultracoin Community,

Firstly, Usukan, I am glad to hear you are okay, I am sorry to hear about the natural disasters and hope your community recovers soon. It is with no hesitation that I must give Usukan, Aleneeva and PressTab the credit that they deserve, they have been instrumental in completing this process of development that has lead up to this fork, truly a momentous occasion that has taken countless hours of work, testing and cooperation behind the scenes. The Ultracoin community thanks you, and I thank you, it has been an honor to work with you all over the past few months, and I can safely say you all had the expertise handled. This event is a long time coming, but the day has finally arrived.

Ultracoin now has a solid foundation to build on, our blockchain now appears to be extremely stable, the new wallet is streamlined and resource efficient, and transactions are being processed smoothly and predictably. Over the years Ultracoin has had many rises and pitfalls, but I can confidently say that now more than ever Ultracoin is in a poised to succeed. We have an amazing team with amazing abilities, expertise and experience. There was a time (multiple times) when Ultracoin exceeded a one-million-dollar market cap and was positioned 23rd on the coin market cap chart, I don't believe these days are behind us, as a matter of fact I believe that is the only way in which we should be heading. I believe the progress that has been made is organic, our developments have been organic, our community has been organic, and our reach has been organic. With the foundation that we have the only way to go is up, with solid plans and solid commitments anything is completely possible and that is the path that I would like to see Ultracoin take. I am committed to this coin, and have seen nothing but commitment and passion from the community and the team. As promised, I would be taking over the lead and development of Ultracoin from Usukan after the update was complete, that was back in April and it is now November, he honored his agreement and I plan on honoring mine by taking the torch.

There are several areas of opportunity that I plan on focusing on, input from the Ultracoin Committee and community as well as volunteers are always appreciated, I have identified these areas to be the following: Infrastructure, this includes pools, exchanges, payment processors and accessory services. To move forward we will need to secure ourselves on more platforms such as coinpayments and other up and coming as well as localized services, we will also need to seek out more pool operators and exchanges to adopt Ultracoin. This will open Ultracoin to many new investors, businesses and miners which are the life blood of any successful cryptocurrency. Service technology, there are many exciting developments coming out of the world of cryptocurrency including new technologies both on the software and hardware side of things such as, ATM's, blockchain tech and convenience based technology. This technology will be reined in more and more as cryptocurrency matures, but things are already starting to make headway. An ATM in a major city, brick & mortar acceptance, blockchain utilization and wallet minimization are all examples of technology that can be employed. Marketing, this includes the website, social media and the mailing list, as a matter of fact we have a new addition to the team whom will be helping us on this front! These things and much more are crucial to Ultracoins standing moving forward, and as I reflect on our game plan in the short and long term I am determined we shall reach new heights.
I will draft a much more detailed map moving forward to chart our progress and measure our success. Again, I want to thank all the members of the Ultracoin team for their invaluable contributions, and I want to thank the members of the community for supporting Ultracoin and making this community your home over the past few years. These are exciting times and I am very honored to be a part of this project. 2017 will be our year to expand and truly dig our heels into the cryptocurrency world once again. I look forward to taking on this adventure with all of you!

Phoenix rising,

Thanks Alenevaa - payment recd.  A FAT ONE too.

Cheers usukan

Hi there testbug

Ultracoin is one of the oldest altcoins out there - as such the blockchain is indeed quite large.



There is a bootstrap here of the blockchain to allow a faster sync - just follow their instructions on how to run

My personal preference has been to download the whole blockchain for any new wallets that I have set up - it takes me about 4 days on average for a full sync of the new UltraCoin wallet.  Not particularly convenient if you are in a hurry - but acceptable if you plan ahead and just set and forget.

I might add thats its still faster than Ethereum until recently when Parity added --warp sync.  I had no wallets synced for over 6 weeks - ETH blocks were generated faster than the sync progress 


Cheers - usukan

Payments are enabled!

Thanks for your response. Best regards.

Hi devlin - sorry I know nothing really about GPU mining of UTC


This appears to be the most recent




this may be an update



I'm not a GPU miner - maybe someone who knows more will steer you in the right direction.

Cheers - usukan

Hi, Another question, exist an updated miner for AMD, (apart from old yacminer  and nicehash  scrypt-jane).  Thanks.

can anyone help out devlin here?

Thanks usukan

Hi PressTab - yes its looking good.

I have done 4 snapshots of blocktimes over 100 blocks (POW and POS) over the last 2 days

the numbers were 1.6 1.3 1.01 and 0.73 - so its pretty much about 1 block per min as it should be over a 24 hr period.

The retargeting is working great and staking working 100%. Send/rec working and fast now for confs with proper blocktimes.

Everything is fine

Nice work

Thanks usukan

WALLET UPDATE REQUIRED

Ultracoin is hardforking to a new and much improved wallet. This new wallet addresses many issues including the diff re-targeting causing trouble for miners and includes more efficient staking plus increased staking rewards (new wallet after fork - 5.6% PA).

The fork date is set for Wednesday, October 12th , 2016 (block number 1,824,237).

You should download, install and run the new wallet - preferably before the fork date.  The old wallet will not function correctly after the fork.


The new wallet files can be downloaded from here:

https://mega.nz/#F!nAVymCQa!wdJ4DMaULSptCqC5BX8fCw

This link has downloads for both 32x and 64x Windows installations.

The simplest installation of the new wallet is via running the appropriate setup.exe for your Windows operating system - either 32x or 64x i.e. "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe" or "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win32-Setup.exe"

This applies if you want to install a NEW Ultracoin wallet - OR if you want to update an old installation.

So - if you have a Win64 operating system - just download and run "UltraCoin-v1.0.0.0-Win64-Setup.exe"

Once the installation has completed - you need to be sure to run the correct ultracoin-qt.exe so the NEW wallet opens (i.e. don't use your old desktop shortcut).

Best create a new desktop shortcut - as follows

- Navigate to C/Program Files/Ultracoin folder
- Find the file ultracoin-qt.exe
- Create a shortcut to this file - and put it on your desktop.

Use this new shortcut to run the new wallet (and best to delete your old desktop shortcut)


As always - be sure to back up and save your wallet files (wallet.dat) to several other storage devices.

If you know what you are doing - you can use the .zip files shown in the MEGA download link (i.e. ultracoin-qt-v1.0.0.0-Win64.zip) to manually configure your own wallet installation.

what is the correct wallet to be using now?

Just took a quick look at the explorer charts. Things are looking a whole lot smoother now. No more domination of PoW for a bunch of blocks then PoS for a bunch of blocks. Pretty good balance now.

Hi, new cards with 8G is efficient at N14?

thanks Valpe   

Thanks there bathrobehero - its early to call but it all looks damn good so far.

Last set of numbers I ran put blocks (POS + POW) at 1.01 blocks per minute over about 100 blocks (small sample size).  Its fluctuating but looks on plan for 1 block per minute.


Sync, staking and transactions working fine from my tests.

Some tweaks maybe coming next week - but looking good - I agree.

Hit it with as much hash as you like (on/off) "at will" - need to stress test.


Cheers usukan

Congratulations guys!
