I wanted to add a few technical details about the drawing at https://mue.bitcoinprizedraw.com :

1. The current payout address is 1AkPRSTuUgjJ4pF3Sm6f4PR2BvAFEZ9Jjh
You can watch this address to verify payments are being made to the winners.

2. I have provided Python code to allow users to reproduce the drawing results using Python's random library.
Code:
addr_list = []
prize_list = [0.03, 0.025, 0.02, 0.015, 0.01]
_seed = ""
seed(_seed)
shuffle(addr_list)
for prize in prize_list:
    winner = addr_list.pop()
    print("%s wins %s" % (winner,prize))
    while winner in addr_list: addr_list.remove(winner)
    shuffle(addr_list)

The addr_list and _seed values can be found here after the drawing is complete. The prize_list value is variable. The valid code can always be found under the Drawing Rules and Prizes tab at https://mue.bitcoinprizedraw.com

3. I am always open to suggestions for improvements. Please feel free to contact me here via pm if you have anything to add or if you need help with anything.

Is it possible to solo mine?  I've updated to the latest wallet and tried 4-5 different versions of ccminer (NVidia cards) and all I get are "JPSON call falled, unable to get work".

It's only possible with AMD cards using sgminer at the moment. ccminer's gbt code is ancient and the various devs seem to have no interest in updating it.

Had a couple of bugs to squash with the in-wallet purchasing, but all should be good now. If you experienced an error before, please try it again.

For the ROKOS integration
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1084908.msg14378246#msg14378246

We need

2 wallpapers ( 1920px x 1080px)
High res logo (at least 1000px)

Does anyone want to help?

I've already paid the fee to be integrated.

I propose using one of these icons:
https://github.com/allienworks/cryptocoins/blob/master/SVG/MUE-alt.svg
https://github.com/allienworks/cryptocoins/blob/master/SVG/MUE.svg


yeah, he did a good job of those.
I prefer
https://github.com/allienworks/cryptocoins/blob/master/SVG/MUE.svg
Is it a "high res logo at least 1000px" ?
I use "Paint" and I think that may be beyond it's functionality Tongue

Vector graphics like SVG can be resized to practically any size needed.

Just posted a new version of the android beta wallet: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ua.monetaryunit.wallet
We're probably going to push this one to production barring any problems you guys might find.
Seems to work flawlessly.
Load up time is near instant, peers connect quick.
A significant performance increase over the previous versions.
Thanks for this release, I tried to send a tip, not sure if it arrived at its destination Wink
Good to hear! I got your donation, much appreciated!

Troubleshooting high CPU usage and network reachability

To start, you should check that your node is reachable:

Code:
$ monetaryunit-cli getnetworkinfo

[...]
    "networks" : [
        {
            "name" : "ipv4",
            "limited" : false,
            "reachable" : true,
            "proxy" : ""
        },
[...]
    "localaddresses" : [
        {
            "address" : "",
            "port" : 29948,
            "score" : 1745
        }
    ]
}

If reachable is false, and your localaddress is either missing, incorrect, or set to 0.0.0.0 , you may need to manually the values in your config:

For my own node behind a router with forwarding:

Code:
bind=192.168.1.101
externalip=


In the old days, bitcoind and forks used an external service (dyndns) to detect your external ip which isn't private or secure. The "new" code generally does a good job but may not always find the correct values due to inconsistent network configurations (firewalls, routing, nat, upnp, etc, etc, etc).
If this detection fails, you may end up not being detected as reachable and the daemon will continually run code to detect your ip, which eats cpu time like crazy (consistently around 12% cpu usage on a misconfigured node).

MonetaryUnit Android Wallet v0.4.0.1 beta

Changelog:
New Material theme demo (not finished).
Android M camera and storage permissions.
Multiple languages updated.
Default precision and fiat conversion rates should be fixed.

Please sign up for the open beta here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ua.monetaryunit.wallet

The new features look great, especially the material design for newest Android versions. However, it would be great if the wallet could show up MUE to USD exchange rate. For example: 1 MUE = $0.000124 USD  But other that, it is just perfect. Just suggestion.  Grin

The exchange rates for many, many currencies are available to view under Settings -> Exchange Rates.

This still plagues me. Any other ideas? I would really like to solo mine this coin.
ccminer and its forks are mainly developed for stratum pools, and none properly support gbt which is needed for MonetaryUnit Solo Mining
See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=778322.msg12356524#msg12356524 for more information

Currently our best options for mining on a gtx card are to find a pool or run your own local stratum server.

If your router is forwarding 29948 to your Pi, your other machines inside your network would use addnode=192.168.x.x (your local pi address)
Machines outside your local network (my Pi, for instance) would use addnode=x.x.x.x (your ISP assigned address) to connect to your Pi.


Great! Thanks for the information. The part of configuring the Raspberry Pi for machines outside my local network, was the thing that I really wanted to know. Just for curiosity, since the assigned ISP address could change from time, it is recommended to use a dynamic dns service. However, I am not sure if this could really work with the MUE node configuration. Let's say I link an ISP assigned address such as 0.0.0.0 to a dynamic dns service which gives me a domain such as: test.mydomain.com   Can I place that into the config file next to addnode, or does it has to be specifically an IP address?  Huh

Your new ip address will be propagated to the MUE network automatically. Addnode accepts domains as well as ips. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fallback_Nodes

About the ip address of the node (to be used in the config file with addnode=0.0.0.0) is it the same ip address of the Raspberry Pi, or does the server give you an specific one? Just asking, because once online I could provide the IP address for other peers to connect into.  Smiley

Hi all, I've approached two exchanges about this and no one wants to take it forward, "so far".
Please have a read and please approach or advise which exchange may be worth contacting.
I've so far tried Bleutrade & Banx.io

MUE savings and loans hosted on "an exchange"
 
Currently MonetaryUnit offers a savings account called MUEbank - http://bank.muecentral.com/
This offers 10%APR interest rate on deposited MUE and has a 28 day withdrawal notification period.
The benefit is that MUE holders can get the benefits of a POS interest return on a POW coin and it allows them to reduce the affect of inflation on their holdings.
A table of the reducing inflation rate is available here http://www.monetaryunit.org/muestuff/slowing-inflation-rate-of-monetaryunit/
MUEBank is a completely manual process, which while manageable at the moment, is still a pain.
The benefit to MUE is it offers a service to its community, and also helps reduce the liquidity in the market place.
The disadvantage of the savings account is that the interest has to be paid from our own holdings.
 
To mitigate this, we want to offer some of the traditional banking services that people know and love, and the second part is the loans facility, whereby MUE holders can deposit their MUE into their MUE loans account, and be offered a BTC loan using their MUE as collateral.  My gut feeling is that the BTC loan would be 50% of the current market value of their MUE when it is deposited.
I think perhaps we have 3 terms. 1 month @ 5%, 2 months @ 10% , 3 months @ 15%.
Once up and running this will allow the savings offering to be self sustaining, and also generate profit.
 
This is hopefully where it can get interesting for "an exchange" & MUE.

Lets say for arguments sake, that the revenue generated by the BTC loans is split 50/50 exchange/MUE.
So the exchange can do whatever it wants with its portion of the revenue = win for exchange.

The other portion of the revenue for MUE is AUTOMATICALLY put into buy support for MUE which tops up the MUE account on the exchange that pays the interest to the savings offering, again, this is a win for the exchange as it keeps the coins re-circulating there and increases volume of trade in that exchange.
It will also give the exchange a fantastic USP to market against as I am not aware anyone else is offering what I'm suggesting.

Ideally the exchange would only offer these services just for MUE, however I also understand that being able to use MUE as a test bed could be invaluable to offer the same services for other coins.
The benefit to MUE obviously is being able to offer sensible, fair automated financial instruments people can understand and are familiar with, which gives us exposure as a crypto project, but also of course, means that the re-invested BTC generated from the BTC loans will increase the MUE price.
It also means we don't have to be worried about having to set up an legal entity in a crypto friendly jurisdiction, as it will be managed by the exchange.
 
So there are a few things we would have to do.
1) Provide the exchange with MUE to fund the wallet that pays the interest in MUE savings.
2) Provide the exchange with BTC with which to fund the wallet that will pay out the BTC for the MUE loans.
3) There would have to be a facility that will "drip sell" MUE on any defaulted loans
4) Users will have to have as part of their exchange login, a simple to understand "banking" facility.
5) Show the liquidity funds of both MUE and BTC wallets being used to fund the services.
 
Initially I think we would have to be cautious and on launch limit both the number of users who are able to open accounts, but also limit the amounts that can be deposited into the savings account or BTC borrowed against their MUE collateral.
Also, as we move forward with it, it would be great to be able to activate promotional rates and offers etc.

Also instead of only offering people BTC loans against their MUE collateral you could offer them ANY coin as a loan which would work by using the BTC in the loans wallet to buy the coin they want to borrow, once again increasing volume on the exchange.

Now this is certainly good stuff for the MUE project. I was thinking about the MUE loans a few days ago and also thought if Poloniex would be a good exchange for MUE as they offer you the ability to lend your coins and maybe this could be achieved with MUE. What you have stated here is an excellent idea.  Cheesy

Now I am working on making the MUELotto site which will consist of the ability and buy MUE lottery tickets with BTC or MUE and the winner shall be announced every 30th day of every month. Prizes would consist of huge MUE or BTC bounty (winner's choice)  Smiley

Poloniex would be ideal imo, and I've put in requests to have MUE added. I figure they'd be more willing to look into adding MUE if a few more folks with active Poloniex accounts submitted requests as well.

Good to see some action here.
I thought the team left a while ago that's why the price was going down.

Up to some more Mue Developments!

Part of the reason for the price drop is from auto-dumping from yaamp clones and the like. I believe one way to combat this is to mine another coin and request payouts in MUE.

Site is looking good, very excited to see this project become a success.

MUEBank is alive and well and managed by Hoosen, he's probably been away having fun, but I'm sure he'll get back to you, unless there have been any technical issues with e-mail etc.
I'll drop him a message.

That is good news because I'm going to start making my first deposit on the MUEBank. Still there are a few things things to be done on the cloud mining site, but I think I will have it ready because the end of the year. Next thing that I will be working on would be the MUELotto which will occur on January next year.  Cheesy

I think we need more people into the MUE community as there is not much activity here on the thread, whereas other alts have frequent discussions. Maybe more advertising and marketing is needing perhaps?  Smiley

More bugs == More "activity"

Now that we have most of them fixed, people have less reason to come here to complain... at least that's what I like to think Wink

Got someone a present




Solo mining MonetaryUnit is now possible with on sgminer using the MonetaryUnit GBT fork. Special thanks to wolf9466 for consistently good work on sgminer and other projects.

Clone our fork @ https://github.com/MonetaryUnit/sgminer and compile it using the directions found in README.md. Official binary packages for Windows will be made available in the near future.

In this example, I am solo mining to my own MonetaryUnit daemon running on my pi2, rather than a stratum pool.
Code:
./sgminer -k quarkcoin -o http://raspberrypi:29947 -u monetaryunitrpc -p supersecurepasswd --mue-address  

Please report MUE-specific isssues @ https://github.com/MonetaryUnit/sgminer/issues
