Topic: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Hardfork block 1042000 - Merge Mine w/BTC! - page 369. (Read 1047227 times)

Hi IMZ,

These are pledges for the moment.  No need to send funds anywhere until expenses have been incurred.  Falling Knife or you can collect the funds when it is time.

The Primary Translation fund, the money to be used to pay an actual invoice from the Translator was 60 UNOs, or about $150.  Since that is the money we are talking about spending now, thought it fair to give the guys who's money that is a stronger voice in this decision.

The 157 UNOs is the BOUNTY to be paid to a Chinese translator/marketer who undertakes to promote UNO in China and get us listed on 1 or two exchanges there.  This fund is a success fee only, payable upon the day trading of UNO begins on an exchange in China.  Half on the first exchange.  Second half on listing day on second exchange.  

The Tramslation fund is a sunk cost, whether we get listed or not.  A lot of risk there because we may pay that money out, and never get listed.  Those guys stepped up and funded.  They, in my mind, get a proportionally larger voice in the decision.

The second, larger fund is only payable upon success--you will get what you paid for.  100% certainty of return on your pledge.

Is that clear now?

Cheers,

Gekko

Have I missed something? 157 or 60? Is there an address to send the pledges to?

And bravo for cragv protesting the championing of prostitution on this thread! I'm ashamed I didn't do it immediately.

Me back in 12 hours.

I am a Mac user and the latest wallet from pnoch works perfectly, good work, so any Mac user can feel safe. You will have to download the blockchain again but it doesn't take that long.

Am I to understand that it is now safe for a Mac fanboy non-techie like myself to download this new Mac wallet?  I have an uncomfortable amount of UNO sitting on Cryptsy (>1 ton).

China Update:

I have heard from Daniel Hu.  He is NOT overly excited about our project, saying he has too much work in his day-job now.

PRIMARY TRANSLATION
He said he can translate our webpage and Bitcoin Talk page.  He mentioned 1-3 hours for the Bitcointalk page and since the webpage is probably much the same size, twice that.  So well within the primary (60 UNO) budget.  I believe he will probably want to be paid in BTC at .1 BTC an hour, which is higher than his $15/hour stated rate on upwork.com.  To be negotiated if we decide to move forward.

PROMOTION and LISTING
He is not too hot about following up, running social media, and states that it's "really hard to get things listed on btc38".

So we can get good translations done.  Possibly SEO enhancement.  But we still need to identify someone who can:  

1.  Translate our Twitter feed and post to Weibo on the fly
2.  Take self starter initiative to explore and exploit other Chinese crypto social media and press to get people to our Chinese language info...and hopefully start chattering on BTCTalk in Chinese...
3.  Have the faith and courage to shoot for a listing on btc38 and others.

What say we?

Can I have some comments at this point?

A.   Shall I proceed to engage Daniel for the translation and continue the search for a marketer?
B.   Shall I leave Daniel in peace and seek out someone who will take the whole job a-z?
C.   Shall we cancel the whole effort and save our UNO?

Please vote for Plan A, B or C over the next 24 hours. Everyone gets one vote.

These people, who pledged to the primary translation fund, gets one ADDITIONAL vote for every 5 UNO pledged, because it is their UNO we will be spending:

Thanks for stepping in with the Mac wallet, Pnoch!

@MMpool
Time for an update:
D=500 worked very well for 2 and 3 S5.
D=750 worked very well for 2 and 3 S5.
D=1000 worked very well for 2, 3, and 4 S5.

Tried D=1250 and D=1500 for 5 S5, but it was back to reject problems.

This is a huge improvement over what I saw before.  Think we can get to 5 or even 6 S5?

Glad you got it working. UNO will always get mac support as long as I am here with some spare time

Here's the address

Cheers!

also a big THANK YOU to pnoch for compiling this mac wallet! 

post up an address so we can tip you!

So there is a new wallet? Any other changes? Because my wallet says it's fully synced at about 200 blocks behind.

thats officially the hugest understatement of this entire thread.

someone give this guy an award for modesty ;P

Glad there's something I can do around here. Cheers.

Finally got it to work!!!!  Thank you FallingKnife!!

FYI, on a mac...I had to download the .zip file to make it work.

again, thanks!!!

He needs to post some error logs or something before anyone can even begin to diagnose the problem.

Sure, more pools would be great. We'll get there.

Lets try to help Xpool get up and running first, though.

Uno is about to lose it's support from Xpool because of a crashing daemon.  I'm not able to resolve it. They compile the daemon but after a few hours it crashes. Bryce thought maybe they needed to update pre-reqs to bitcoin 0.1, but that answer didn't sem to help.

If you can help, please head over to Cryptocointalk and assist Cracker.

Thanks,

I'll try to put in some hardcode node for the OSX build next time.

BTW, we might have 2 flavor of UNO android wallet, there is one I have been working on since months ago, Unobtaniumj need some rework for MM but it seems HashEngineering's version should do it https://github.com/HashEngineering/unobtaniumj/commits?author=HashEngineering

I am quite busy with work and everything so don't count on me release it anytime soon.

Cheers!

When I downloaded it some days ago, the zip file contained only one file "unobtanium-qt_0.10beta.exe".  Since it had a different name than the old executable ("unobtanium-qt.exe"), I just dropped it in the same folder.  I then updated the shortcut which used to point to the old one.  To do this, right-click on the shortcut, Properties, and put this in the "Target" text box:


Worked like a charm (the first time, it did an automatic reindex).  Everything else is still the way it was, same folders same everything.  It just has that new beta wallet executable in it, which is what I run. No uninstalling, no anything.

thank you so much for the detailed response.

do i just make up anything for username and password?  when is this used and for what?

@ Krypto Superdog: welcome. Feel free to vent; your cause is just. We gotta bust our humps to market ourselves to 'The 99%'

@ Escrowin' the Chinese translations? Whatever makes sense.

@ Community providing tech support: I lack these skills. The fact that I can get help here is greatly appreciated, and I will work hard otherwise to make us all cashmere-helicopter rich us all better people in the eyes of our mums.

@ The A-Team photo: if you ever find yourself within 1100 metres of a cigar-chomper whose gloved trigger-finger is inside the trigger guard of a cocked assault rifle, move swiftly behind the nearest large concrete object, and remain there.

Exactly! It would be nice to get BTC Guild and Slush's Pool on the $UNO train too!

If you are going to mine Bitcoin, why wouldn't you choose a merge pool? They can either afford to have lower fees or higher payouts. It makes sense.
I am having fun mining at mmpool right now, enjoying my Uno dust.
