From about Utilitycoin menu i can read: v1.0.1.2: Experimental
Anyway it's the wallet downloaded from the first page of this thread, windows version.
In this case should i use connect= or addnode= ?
Anyway it's the wallet downloaded from the first page of this thread, windows version.
In this case should i use connect= or addnode= ?
I suggest to use addnode.
Connect will only connect to the specified node, Addnode will add the node to the internal list of nodes and will allow the wallet to connect to other nodes.
I can't manage to get the wallet synced.
Are there new nodes?
one node dropped of because of a VPS restart, the other one should work. Which version are you using?
Where's the latest wallet for this coin? Not connecting to network
add the following to your UtilityCoin.conf
addnode=104.207.139.164
addnode=104.156.251.225
and restart
What about Util, is still alive or not?
It is still being worked on.
any new's ?
at the moment I'm swamped at my day job and haven't had much time to work on the coin. Deadline ends tomorrow so I will be working on it in the evenings next week.
UtilityCoin update 2015-01-18 (Security update)
before doing anything else, create a backup of your mainnet wallet and store it at a secure location
these are updated main net releases, fixing a vulnerability that has affected other coins as well (decreasing the drift window from 24 hours to 10 minutes), and contains a (temporary) checkpoint server.
(be aware that your datetime settings need to be correct to succesfully stake and not create orphans)
utilitycoin-linux-0.1.1.2.tar.gz
utilitycoin-win-0.1.1.2.zip
(note: these wallets list version 1.0.1.2 on getinfo, this is because of the wallet expecting a higher version than the previous 1.0.0.0. However I want to have a bit more sane version, showing that this is still in beta development, and shouldn't have a major version higher than 0. This will be fixed in future wallets as well)
I will be dedicating some of my time first to research POS 2.0 and the vulnerability that affected APEX.

UtilityCoin update 2015-01-11 (Node system testnet)
The updated wallet with the node system code is test ready, if you would like to help out testing, download any of the following wallets
TESTNET ONLY (or at your own risk on mainnet)
before doing anything else, create a backup of your mainnet wallet and store it at a secure location
utilitycoin-linux-0.2.1.2.tar.gz
utilitycoin-win-0.2.1.3.zip
When your wallet is downloaded, start by setting up a Control Node
Control node (Part 1)
In your UtilityCoin.conf add the following parameters
make sure you use:
testnet=1
controlnode=1
start the control node, and let it sync. After syncing, create an address you want to receive some tUTIL, and pm me the address either on bitcointalk or on slack (I have already mined the testnet).
run the command "generatesharedkey" either in the console or through the daemon. copy the generated key to a texteditor. Create as many keys as service nodes you want to run.
Service node
now run another wallet, either locally or on a remote location (remote location is advised) and in your UtilityCoin.conf add the following parameters
make sure you use:
testnet=1
servicenode=1
Control node (Part 2)
after receiving the tUTIL, create as many addresses as service nodes you want to run.
send a transaction of exactly 2500 tUTIL to each address.
In your UtilityCoin.conf add the following parameters
(wallet address entered here will be locked and excluded from staking)
after this you are all set, and you can start the control node
run the command "listservicenodes" either in the console or through the daemon.
this should list all the nodes you added in the UtilityCoin.conf with addslavenode. If nothing is listed something is wrong in the conf file.
then run "startservicenodes" and check if every node has started
when running "listservicenodes" again you can check if the node is started or still processing (it can take 5 minutes before the node is registered as started).

I don't care whether you think this is FUD or not... You can delete this if you want, I don't care honestly.
I know I have been reacting negatively before, because I remember when a dev took over an altcoin before, I believe it was flappycoin. Alot was done to improve the coin, better wallet, games, and even an online wallet. These were things nobody has heard of before. It didn't effect the price, even though alot was done. And now I am reflecting back on that.
I am glad someone took up the project. Hopefully it goes somewhere, I don't care since Ive already been burned by this by Pr0m and his team, I am not ready to be burned again.
Sorry.

Sorry.
I very much get the sentiment. The alt coin community have been scammed left and right, and so have I. And I get it, new development doesn't necessarily mean a price increase. I'm very aware of that. I'm not doing this for price alone. Although it would be great if the price rises as I have a stake in it myself, I'm much more interested in the technology itself. Understanding it and eventually contribute to it.
As I said before and I mean that: Good luck in your next endeavors.
thought it might be a good idea to check if the displayed coin supply was valid with the following code:

block.ReadFromDisk(pblockindex, true);

Re: [ANN][UTIL] UtilityCoin - x13 POS - Large Update - 10/30 - Advancing Privacy
Work was last done 9 days ago. Who do you think you're fooling? Bitcoin is going to moon again, and nobody who hasn't forgotten about it will give a fuck about Util. So what is this? The last push to sell off the remaining 20% of the 70% pre-mine?
Test ready? lol. The only thing you're doing is making a wallet that doesn't look like a stinking scam to cover up your Keycoin clone blunder.
I noticed someone has turned on the sell bot again. LOL

Oh man! UTIL's back!
Btw who are you? I guess miker00lz is not involved anymore. Is Dan Metcalf taking part of the development?
GL sir!

GL sir!
no miker00lz isn't involved anymore (if you mean utilitycoin), I have tried contacting him on here, but had no replies, so I am assuming he has abandoned it.
As for me I'm just a developer who is invested in UTIL and one that wanted to get involved into development of a crypto currency for a while.
Dan Metcalf is still working on the VPN-HTTP-PROXY, but I believe he is also very busy with Blocknet and XC, so I'm not expecting anything soon.

UtilityCoin update 21-12-2014
As this thread seems to be abandoned by the original poster, I have created a new UtilityCoin thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=901629.0
I would like to invite you all to this moderated thread, where I will try to keep you updated of developments as much as possible.
Also I really recommend joining the blocknet slack through http://goo.gl/forms/UkViMl2fKn, as it is just so much easier communicating
I have been diving into the UtilityCoin code that was available on BitBucket, and started to implement a node system that was proposed in the original ANN.
However, I haven't finished it yet. But due to the pending delisting on Bittrex, I still wanted to share with all of you, that progress is still being made, albeit by a another developer, and hopefully get enough volume to stay listed.
Current development on the node system can be seen at https://github.com/ruleland/utilitycoin, and it should be ready for testing soon.
The system allows for a wallet to start as either a control node, a service node or a normal node.
The control node can have several service node entries that are linked to different wallet addresses with a transaction of exactly 2500 UTIL. With such a transaction in the wallet, a service node can be started.
The service node is supposed to service the network. Possible features would be anonimization of funds, function as a VPN node or any other network function you can think of.
The normal node will be updated so it can actually use the service nodes to execute network functions.
The main focus for now, is to get the initial node system working. This will be very similar to the DarkCoin masternode system developed by Evan Duffield, as I am using his code as an example.
I will update the new ANN soon with some more information as soon as I have the node system finished and have some time.
A new domain has been registered with a temporary site that can be found at http://utilitycoin.info

That piece of shit website with a BASIC domainname is not going to entice anyone into buying anything from this bucket of horse shit.
Especially when all it is right now, a complete rip off Keycoin. And that leads to the question, was there even a developer at all? Looks like this work is being done in parallel so somebody can exit.
This is hilarious.
I'm sorry for the confusion, I was talking about the original poster . Dan Metcalf is still active on slack, and it has been said multiple times he is still working on the VPN-HTTP-PROXY solution.
As for the site, as it is stated, it is a temporary one. I'm still looking for people that are invested as well to help out. if anyone wants to, please contact me here or on slack.
As for being a rip-off, every coin is a clone of another. But if you check my Git, you can see work is being done. I only had to move up my timetable when I saw the delisting. I would have rather published a test-ready product.
However, since you have sold a month ago, I wish you good luck in your other endevours
More details, launch-time , etc.

The control node can have several service node entries that are linked to different wallet addresses with a transaction of exactly 2500 UTIL. With such a transaction in the wallet, a service node can be started.
The service node is supposed to service the network. Possible features would be anonimization of funds, function as a VPN node or any other network function you can think of.
The normal node will be updated so it can actually use the service nodes to execute network functions.
The main focus for now, is to get the initial node system working. This will be very similar to the DarkCoin masternode system developed by Evan Duffield, as I am using his code as an example.
I will update the new ANN soon with some more information as soon as I have the node system finished and have some time.

As the previous thread seems to be abandoned by the original poster, I have created this new moderated thread, where I will try to keep you updated of developments as much as possible.
Also I really recommend joining the blocknet slack through http://goo.gl/forms/UkViMl2fKn, as it is just so much easier communicating
I have been diving into the UtilityCoin code that was available on BitBucket, and started to implement a node system that was proposed in the original ANN.
However, I haven't finished it yet. But due to the pending delisting on Bittrex, I still wanted to share with all of you, that progress is still being made, albeit by a another developer, and hopefully get enough volume to stay listed.
