Anyone know what happened to the trading volume in the last weeks?
Most of our volume was coming from the Chinese exchange BTC100. Due to the Chinese gov't ending the purchase of cryptocurrencys with the Chinese Yuan in China, our volume tanked dropped because of that. It is no worry, though. We are still on Cryptopia and are still in the process of pursuing other exchanges with Bittrex being the main goal.
Will UIS have ICO orientation in the future?

No ICO will be very hard for potential miner

No need for an ICO here
Recently wasn't here updates and payments on the project..
Absolutely! Nothing has changed here. The 1st official community update just got pushed back a little bit. It will definitely be out during the 1st week of October.
