Re: [ANN] [USDe] Unitary Status Dollar eCoin *MANDATORY Update Before Block #91,000*
by

on 22/02/2014, 00:10:47 UTC

I am setting up a p2pool node located in Switzerland and I have a little high Orphan rate, my usde wallet is is running with 3 nodes configured in the usde.conf, I've pinged them and found the following:

23.253.71.56 -128ms - location US
192.237.223.87 -130ms - location US
149.210.166.111 -14ms - location Netherlands

Have a couple of questions:

- Can my orphan rate (~10-14%) be explained by the limited number of low latency nodes as shown above ?
- Anyone knows about some more nodes located in europe ?

Thanks

Re: [ANN] [USDe] Unitary Status Dollar eCoin *Update Before Block #91,000!!!*

This is a great news ! Even if it is not needed ATM seeing the coin profitability, it'll show that the DEVs are still in and are willing to implement "latest technology" to the coin.

BTW, is it poolerino's mike coding the wallet ?

I really like the comments posted in this thread.

Last, I just wanted to remind you that we need to vote:
http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php
https://www.mintpal.com/voting


*** IMPORTANT - KIMOTO GRAVITY WELL MANDATORY WALLET UPDATE ***
PLEASE UPDATE BEFORE BLOCK # 91,000
***  MAC & ANDROID WALLET UPDATES TO BE RELEASED SOON ***

As you know, the USDe development team has been quite busy improving the USDe Coin. In the near future, we will be publishing a press release, which will be used to solidify the Unitary Status Dollar eCoin's mission and purpose.  Meanwhile, we'd like to share the following with our community:

POOL, SERVICE & LINUX OPERATORS & USERS:
We have moved to a new github repository, which can be found at https://github.com/usde-project/USDE  
  
Updated source and Windows Wallet has JUST been released!!!
The new wallet can be downloaded using the links on the first page of this thread or from the current home page at http://usd-e.com.  To update your wallet, simply unzip the new USDe zip file and run the new USDe.exe wallet file.  The wallet has been tested, however as a best practice, we always recommend backing up your current %APPDATA%\USDE folder, which contains your private keys prior to running the update.  

This update includes:
  • The USDe Coin's current logo, to ensure consistent branding across all platforms.
  • The Kimoto Gravity Well will start at block 91,000 (~10 days from today, 2/21/2014 to give everyone ample opportunity to update).  The Kimoto Gravity Well integration will change difficulty re-targetting to occur with every block rather than every 120 blocks. This was implemented due to popular demand and also to PROTECT the USDe coin against pool hoppers.

Updated Mac and Mobile Android wallets will be released as soon as we have them compiled.  If you have any questions about the new Windows wallet or source, please feel free to contact us at team@usd-e.com.  

Thank you for your continued support!  Cheesy

Go USDe!

Updates from the USDe Development Team

We would like to remind everyone that we're coming up on 1 month of USDe's existence.  Yes, we have had a few bumps in the road, but none of them will prevent us from continuing and reaching our goals.  A lot of our users will undoubtedly come across lots of new coins that are released in the meantime, some may even be legitimate, but please remember that USDe is not a joke, abandon, or pump and dump coin, but a project, which we are actively developing and shaping to compete with the same fiat currencies that you convert your cryptocurrency coins into.  

We are very far from USDe's value at maturity and are working on securing a big investment into our project.  This thread has been a little quieter than usual, but this isn't at all a reflection of the continued interest in USDe.  We realize that some in our community measure success by the amount of chatter that happens on this thread - and therefore if anyone of our more vocal supporters would like to take a more active role in keeping things alive here at bitcointalk, please e-mail team@usd-e.com, so we can discuss.

A few highlights of the things we're working on:
  • New Windows wallet - should be released in the next 24-48hrs
  • Updates to the Web Site, including publishing of first blogs
  • Securing appropriate partnerships and connections to bring about tangible services and places where USDe can be spent and traded for goods and services
  • SEO / Internet-based marketing and press exposure is underway, and is being handled by a professional marketing company
  • By the end of next weekend / Monday, you should expect a big, positive surprise - we may be able to share more details on what it is either on Friday or Saturday
  • We are also developing a Foundation for USDe, which will be used to raise funds that will help with spinning up additional sites & services outside of those we are already planning.  If you hold a large amount of USDe (above 2M) you can make your pledge public here towards this community-driven effort or contact us for more details.

Thank you for your continued support.  Have a great rest of your weekend!  

GO USDe!!!


Does it mean that all of the above have been dropped ?

you should get this coin on CRYPTSY if you want it to survive  Undecided

We should get this community alive and we will be on crytsy, IMO being on Cryptsy without community will only lead to pump-dump-die

And now you've ruined the first impression altogether Smiley)))))

If I am here it is because I belive in this coin, otherwise I would be on Bitcoin or on some other coins, on the other hand I am not dreaming: taking down Bitcoin or only being ahead of Bitcoin is no simple mission: it's the only crypto that is (a little bit) known from general public, it has the best tools/support from community, it has the biggest market cap, the biggest dev community, etc.
Still there's room for other coins : we can be one of them and there's still room for improvement; we can also bring those improvments

I've been one of the silent one following this thread since day #1, haven't posted much since it was very "noisy" here. Now that things are a lot more quite, I'll try to participate a bit more to the comunity here and on reddit, I have a lot of ideas and things I wish for this coin and will post about them later. Meanwhile I would like to share my opinion about the situation USDE is facing now:

For me the coins remains a good investment but will try to explain why USDE is currently low IMHO

- Bitcoin market crashed, which is not the first time and not the laste time we are seeing that, we have to think long term here and crypto can only go up
- MaxCoin is being pumped, seeing this coin's launch we can see that amateurs are behind it (even if the marketing is good: Mex Keiser)
- Doge reward is about to halves, I think a lot of people are currently mining this coin hoping that the value will go up after halving (I am one of them, yeah well everyone's has to pay its electricity bill no ?)
- USDE had been dumped (not sure about it touhg, haven't checked the trading volumes): Between the few days on top of CoinWarz + Drazi having a free 5M wallet + weak hand, I wouldn't be surprise about a dump


All of the above are in fact good news ! BitCoin can only come back stronger, as usual; MaxCoin will go down once well pumped; Doge will be soon less attractive and weak hands/dumpers left the coin all of that show that we still have a bright future for this coin.

All we have to do is to show the world that we are still alive and when the good days come back we will all benefit from it. As a first attempt, I started to request to the persons that launched USDe thread on other language to update the main page to better reflects the change and life of the coin.

Wow , this is one rare post in the altcoin section.
Usually people claim that bitcoin will die and will be replaced by their owncoin as number one.


Let's face it: Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency and will remain the number one for a while, there currently some serious long term challenger, USDe being one of them. I hope that we will take down Bitcoin but well, it'll take a lot time, a lot of work and little bit of chance  Grin

How many days left to block halving?

Let's try a calculation (please correct me if I am wrong):

From OP:
USDE max supply: 1.6 Billion (1,600,000,000)
Block halving: block halving every 1/3rd of the coin's total supply
Time per block: 1 min

There are on average 4000 coins in 1 block:
1.6 billion / 4000 = 400.000 blocks

400.000/3 = 133.333 coins first block halving

Current block: ~61850

133.333-61850=71483 blocks to go

71483*1 min = 71483 min = 1192 hours = 50 days



That's also what I found, I confirm

Hi guys,
I want to inform you that this p2pool node owner is in fact a scammer... he displays a 1% fee on his site, but in reality he's steeling 9% extra and takes 10% in total.
You can check it using this URL: http://67.233.200.130:21002/fee

Happy mining (on another pool) with 9% extra  Wink


Thanks for the information, so back to looking for a node !

This will be great! We will post a link on the website as soon as it is ready. We also will be posting a link to the P2P pool mentioned above as this is the first we have heard of it.

Great !!!

Meanwhile here is the information of the existing node, do not hesitate to join !

Is there any P2pool for digibyte ?

So far I found only this one http://p2pool.neocities.org/ but well, I feel a bit alone there so do not hesitate to join or if you know any other good P2pool ?

Also, devs, would it be possible to add the above pool on the main page ?

By popular demand in the Logo POLL that was posted recently, most users like the original design, but with a few tweaks.

What are your thoughts on this version of the Coin's image?

http://i40.tinypic.com/2qnmb7a.png

Basically, I don´t think a logo for a coin has to look like a coin. However, the actual logo should fit on a coin. The logo must be displayed with a coin and without a coin - but the logo isn´t the coin! The current logo with the coin is too fragmented, the individual parts do not fit together and there are to many "cheap" filter effects (sorry). As I have already written a few days ago here, I would also provide the "e" or "E" with two strokes at the top and at the bottom. It should be simple and quickly to understand. It has to work as positive and negative (on black or any color). It should be as easy as $ or € or BTC.

My opinions is, leave the old logo behind and free your mind. We need a professional graphic design. If you want to invest some old school $ for it: www.99designs.com very cheap but professional newcomer.

Or we have to collect some more USDe to pay a professional designer. I would say, we need 250.000 USDe or more for it (=0.375 BTC or $300). This is nothing for a logo!!!

It´s my daily business. I´m a creative director for this. But I don´t have time to do it. I will help as much I can. I can give some advise.

The logo is very very important!!! Much more than the most people are thinking
.

We have collected money before to help spread the word, and this is good. It would be much better if the image we were projecting was more professional. This is the second person from the graphic design field that has said we are missing the boat, and this guy didn't even ask to do it, ie wanted money. It's very important in my opinion. I see people that think these logos are good? What do the rest of the 90% of you that are staying silent think? Say something, post a damn comment lol  Smiley

I'm not trying to be negative or hurt the feelings of anyone. I just look at the logo now and it seems just.....OK, and the some of the changes made to it have made an improvement no doubt.

Does the logo look like it goes on something that world will use as money? That is, instead of the money they are using now?

I think it's great that the devs have started the conversation. All you quiet people need to speak out. I just don't know if this logo should be trusted to us, piecing this thing together, when we are not graphic designers. This coin is headed for major promotion. Will the logo be like one step back when a brand new person to cryptos sees it, or will it be a step forward when they see it? I just have a hard time believing that I'm overreacting here, but who knows I been wrong many times before.

Go USDe!!



Well, I one of the silent and even though I like the logo, I have to say that we need something "universal", something simple but something that people can remember, doodle and recognize on first sight

Look at the big brands: McDonald, nike, apple: all very simple logos.

Also: If we look at digibyte, they have a simple logo (a "D" on a blue circle) and a more complex (they even have a mascot)

Maybe a simple "e" in a golden circle or golden shape ?

fixed fan problem on MSI 7950
by

on 18/01/2014, 00:18:28 UTC
I'am new here and want to share a fix I found to fix on one of my MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC. Problem was that the fan of one of my GPUs was permanently at maximum while the temperature was in an acceptable range (~77°C). Well after hours spent on the web I found out that some MSI R7000 series have a faulty diode that can be removed as shown there:
http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/25436-msi-hd-7950-twin-frozr-fan-issue-and-fix/
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167047.100

Since I removed this diode, the card is a lot less noisy and the fan lifetime will probably be longer as well

hope that can help someone here
