perhaps a leg up in advance of a  good Bitcoin  ETF decision from SEC this week, due by Friday for Bitwise?  Wouldn't get our hopes up but they feel they are closer than ever...

ETF decision is due by  Oct 13th, which is a Sunday - so  I'd expect it by Friday 11th as last business day available.

Mainnet release, check. UTN releasing last week of June, check. Partnerships in progress for real would use, check. Universa is going to be huge soon, with its verified 20k+ TPS at just 1 cent per tx. Still an amazing opportunity right now.

Definitely not dead.  This team/project more than any others seems to be out there establishing partnerships, REAL uses that are planned, and has leadership.  If it was a 1 person effort or so like a small team then yeah maybe a new website would pop up in a couple weeks, but it a larger team and a good site/development efforts take a little longer than that.  You don't develop an entirely new protocol and its done in 6 months even.

Universa is going to likely end up being a pretty big success due to actually getting used while so many "i'm a private chain with nodes' die off.

It is trading as UTNP on Cobinhood and HitBTC right now - not horrible but not on many exchanges just yet.  Likely more when native UTN releases, etc.  Agree though, sleeping giant that is delivering an actual product with active partnerships being established = huge in future.

I posted some very well written concerns yesterday, nothing too negative, but comment was deleted.  Appears that most of these poor English comments are fake now I believe.
Either way, this coin/tech has no purpose other now than a pyramid scheme to buy the tokens and hold them.

There has been a ton of news.  Do you follow the telegram or news postings?  They have a schedule of updates every 2 weeks now since the mainnet just launched, typically on progress and new partnerships.  As soon as UTN native tokens launch, beta contracts launch, and more Universa is going to likely take off with use, ICOs on it, etc.  Certain the tokens that funded it UTNP and UTN (needed also to buy transactions) will skyrocket as well.

I'm not sure they need more.  Their online method/wallet seems very nice, can take keys in/out, or login. 

Universa is the first coin since investing in the Ethereum ICO I'm pretty excited about right now.  Progress is moving nicely and we'll finally have usable UTN on the mainnet (released recently) in ~1.5 - 2 months it seems, native UTN (not the UNTP) tokens will likely join a number of exchanges, and actual "customers" will start using the tech, partnerships like that with EY will take off, etc.

It is annoying that Pure's main exchange, coinexchange.com happens to have the wallet in "maintenance mode" right now and deposits are not completing/coming through! 

Yes it is.

You still basically do most of the same setup but it’s easier.  Configure your pure configuration file, use the debug console in wallet to generate your key, get its hash, and add your masternode.

Then just start it with the config file if you add masternode=1 in it, or use the console command masternode start.

Not to hard to figure out if slightly technical.  I also run a Window node and it works fine, pays out etc.
