Sigh. Automated exchanges certainly have become 'the bottleneck' in the crypto thang. Can we trial a decentralised exchange?

I will simply not trust any new altcoin exchange at this point. Not unless they give plenty of good reasons to trust and use their platform. Had to remove way too many exchanges from our website over the past years...

If you have the seed you can always recover your private keys and if you have those you can import them into another wallet if Electrum ever stops working.
But both the Electrum Wallet and Servers by Cryptap.us are on Github - so if everything else fails you could always set up your own server to reconnect to the network.

I currently have a cold storage using Electrum but i got a couple questions.

If the elctrum or cryptapus went down would the wallet still work? or would my coins be lost forever?

OF course i do have the seed.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. lol

I understand that with this Javascript paper wallet generator the addresses are created client-side in the browser. However, and I admit, I might be a bit paranoid here, but even when the laptop is disconnected from the internet while the addresses are being created, there is, in my understanding, still a chance that a virus or malware records what is going on and sends the created (private) keys somewhere as soon as the laptop is reconnected to the internet again. Not the most probable scenario, but still not impossible.

In order to create a cold storage for my UNO coins, I decided to do the following instead: I have an older laptop that never is connected to the internet, but is connected to a printer. On this offline laptop I installed the Electrum UNO client. There I select one of the public keys, retrieve the corresponding private key, and print both on paper. I've been doing this with many other altcoins (for some of them there is no paper wallet generator out there) and it's worked very well.

Cryptapus might have it posted on his Github, but I'm not sure where it is exactly.

This Uno port of Bitaddress generates keys in your browser, not on the server.
Once it loads in your browser, disconnect from the internet. Now generate your paper wallet offline. Print it and close your browser window.

Maybe another market for UNO trading in the future -

I contacted shapeshift to inquire about why they do not have Unobtanium The response was:

Thanks for reaching out, Kush. I have added Unobtanium to our discovery list, and our development team will look into it when they begin to decide on our next round of coin additions. We do receive several dozen requests a day for new coins to be added so can not assure you we will add your coin, but we will look into it and see if it makes sense for us to add at this time. Any new coins we add will be announced on our social media channels as well as our email newsletters.

Maybe if some others here do the same it will have a better chance of being added?

I've never bothered putting it on github... The source is visible and I've signed it with my pgp key if you're concerned about your copy... However, if your interested, you can find the same bitaddress.org vintage site and do a diff on it to see my changes. You'll find there are only cosmetic and coin version differences. (As well as my addition of "Labels" from some of the work originating from the Casascius project.)

Perhaps when I find the time I'll host it on github...

Cryptapus might have it posted on his Github, but I'm not sure where it is exactly.

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing great.

In the very first post of this thread and also on http://unobtanium.uno/ there is a link to a UNO paper wallet generator which is https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html

Since I do not want to use this site online, I wanted to download the GitHub Repository with the link on the bottom of that site. This link however leads to bitaddress.org (the repository of the Bitcoin paper wallet generator), not the one for UNO.

Could maybe someone post the correct link (and ideally also change the wrong link on https://cryptap.us/uno/paperwallet.html)?

Thanks a lot
Kay

altcoin exchange

See which coins have been voted to be in the beta: https://rawx.io/poll.html

Beta released! Go to https://beta.rawx.io

mcxNOW was a successful and popular exchange which closed in late 2014 so that a better support system could be implemented. A redesign was also needed to handle the large increase in currencies needed to be a modern exchange.
While the delay has been much longer than anticipated it is finally nearing reality!

A new owner has taken over the site, my name is Julian and I ran SolidCoin24 one of the first successful Bitcoin exchanges in 2011. I have the necessarily motivation, experience and morals to run an exchange, my last site was not hacked and no customer funds were ever lost. Which is one of the main reasons I was able to acquire the mcxNOW technology from Realsolid as this was important to him.

Improvements over mcxNOW
As a lot of people may know one of the main reasons mcxNOW was so quick and efficient was the fact it had a custom C++ coded backend. That brings with it challenges and advantages, it takes more skill to use it effectively, but the upside is customers get a much better experience. I have the necessarily skills to take that C++ codebase forward, along with the frontend knowledge to develop a user friendly website. Since obtaining mcxNOW I have developed a more modern and cleaner frontend that takes better advantage of the power that the backend has and I am implementing the unfinished parts of the backend. But I will make sure to leave some power and customization in there for the advanced users as I am aware they were an important part of the mcxNOW culture!

The new name of the exchange will be RAWX which can be pronounced like "Raw - X" or "rocks", you can see the work in progress as I finish the site here :- https://rawx.io

Follow the progress
There is already some screenshots and an FAQ section on the page to give you an impression what it will look like. I also put some at the end of this post.
Additionally, you can sign up for a newsletter in case you want to be informed as soon as there is something new (especially a release date).
You can also join the #RAWX IRC channel on freenode.

mcxFEE
Old mcxNOW users might be aware of mcxFEEs. They were an on-exchange currency and allowed users to participate in the fees generated by the exchange. mcxFEE holders will be pleased to hear that their fees will be converted 1:1 to RAWX fees called rawxFEE. The total amount of rawxFEEs will still be 100,000.

I know that Realsolid had his own "style" in running an exchange, and that many people found that style offensive and unprofessional. I have a very different style and will hopefully be able to draw back in anyone who was affected by that.

Demo videos

During the development process I will keep adding short videos to show you the state of the backend.
