If they were paying 0.2% fees on that kind of volume wouldn't that be $400+ in fees for the ~7 weeks they've been doing this? Something doesn't add up to me. That would only make sense if that person has a large share of UNO & were trying to set up a long-term play. If they were just being overzealous, my advice would be to save those efforts for when UNO is actually at risk (like the Bittrex de-listing warnings that occur a few times a year). But also, if you are going to inject volume into the markets when things are quiet, know that it's not necessary to blast a firehose of fake volume. In regards to increasing volume the best move would probably be to keep legitimate orders on the books. Just put a buy order for 200 UNO at 0.00135 & a sell order at 0.00140. Maybe this person does that as well, I'm just saying that would actually contribute to the health of the markets while having the effect of increasing volume, just not as dramatically.

I can't argue with wanting to support UNO or UNO's image, and I can't argue with supporting Cryptopia through trade fees. But when Cryptopia is literally saying, "No, stop giving us so much money," it would probably be better to just spend that money on accumulating UNO. I suppose it would be nice to have unadulterated trade volume data for the record, but it hasn't bothered me much. 

When you allow bots, and when you have a currency like UNO that trades again 300 other currencies, all kinds of interesting an arbitrage opportunities exist and can be created.
If you want to spur activity in the Cryptopia UNO/Alt markets, just post a higher buy bid for UNO in the bitcoin market.  That gets the bots working hard.

I get what Cryptopia is saying. But I could careless about what legit traders can do with bots. We're all working against each other anyway. It's only when exchanges get into the bot trading that I get really concerned.  MtGox had Markus and Willy.  Cryptsy had gawd knows how many bots working for Vern.   Its unfair to trade against exchange bots because they're always faster and cheaper than your bot. Other bots are fair game.

Regarding the Cryptsy coins...

How many UNO are up for auction with the rest of the Cryptsy coins?

What do you think is the most likely action the buyer of these coins will take?

I personally think that instead of quickly liquidating them, if the buyer is a serious cryptocoin trader, they'll probably try to maximize the value of the buy by attempting to corner markets and pump values where they can. I think it's likely that the UNO market could be targeted for revaluation. If something like this played out I imagine that it would be remembered as a historic move ala the original Wolong-driven run.

The botting just isn't in crypto, it's everywhere - all aspects of a person's life.

Sad, but privacy seems to be becoming a thing of the past and the sheep don't even care..

@IMZ
1-open the appdata folder for uno
2-right click mouse
3-'NEW>' pick text file
4-copy the nodes from chainz website
5-save the file as unobtanium.conf

You should be able to download a sample Unobtanium.conf file from this link:  http://unobtanium.uno/download/Unobtanium.conf.zip

I was able to download it.  I suggested editing the file and pasting these recent nodes to the bottom of it:

addnode=104.172.24.79
addnode=107.194.84.134
addnode=136.243.217.171
addnode=138.201.65.88
addnode=144.76.151.198
addnode=149.202.29.101
addnode=162.13.4.69
addnode=162.243.59.178
addnode=174.26.27.143
addnode=185.107.80.17
addnode=192.95.29.72
addnode=205.251.171.138
addnode=23.152.0.149
addnode=31.53.93.120
addnode=37.187.88.140
addnode=5.9.93.107

addnode=85.25.194.204

If you install Teamviewer from Teamviewer.com, I can log in there and take care of it for you. Just PM me Mark and we can setup a time.
I know, it's a pain in the ass.

Alternatives include Cryptapus' Electrum, JSWallet, Co-Pay online wallet, or on Android - Coinomi, Uberpay, or the Unobtanium wallet.

I think that is the part he is trying to stress here. It shouldn't be a pain in the ass. It should be downloading the exe and running it. There is zero reason to not have this file created when running the executable. If other wallets are able to do it, why can't we? Well other than lack of ability. I can't do it, but maybe BW could, it seems like if you can create a coin, this should be cake. Even then it would be mucho easier for people to just modify.

When saving the file all you do is type unobtanium.conf as the file name and hit save. If done correctly then it should work. I think you might be over thinking and therefore over complicating things. Not sure but you might need to show file extensions for this to work. Otherwise you might be saving this as a document titled unobtanium.conf where the computer is seeing this as unobtanium.conf.txt instead of having the .conf work as a file extension.

Open a folder in windows, find the tools option up top, alt if you can't see it, click tools, folder options, second tab in the window that pops up "view" scroll down and make sure you don't hide file extensions. Yet again, a pain in the ass that could be avoided if the conf was just coded into the exe some how.

Of course it is nice to have all those other options but why not also make sure the classic options are as easy as can be.

I agree it would be nice if the .conf file automatically dlded, although it really is pretty easy and many many coins you end up having to do it.

Regarding wallet issues: If many people are experiencing issues getting the wallet to work then that should be #1 priority right now, as SirSmokesAlot said. Many people are not patient enough to go to the forum and fuss with this. Maybe next month a billionaire will take interest in UNO but quickly move on after the downloaded wallet couldn't connect!

Nah, Nat -- go with King's approach: subtle ridicule. (' . . . it really is pretty easy . . . ')


' . . . can you see how terrible this all is for an "average" user of crypto?  I mean, I grew up with computers, I work for a leading tech company, on the internet all day every day...muggles think i'm some tech whiz just for using crypto, so if someone like me is having a hard time figuring this out, then we're completely fucked for "mass" adoption.'

Here's my Wallet-Set-Up Report:

One: the only other cryptos we hold -- ETH, DASH, XMR, and BTC -- all now accepted by Ledger.

Two: recently set up a Litecoin Electrum. It was like travelling on a cloud.

Three: Joule has the same model as Unobtanium. Joule is dead.

Four: Groestlcoin has TWENTY-SIX click-and-go wallets; and the dev PMed me with an offer of personal assistance.

Five: SolarCoin! BAM! Got a Solar Coin wallet set up and synched and coined-up in less than ninety minutes!!

Six: Unobtanium: F.K.'s third specific request to the community for general assistance has been ignored. We couldn't get the android wallet to work. Still can't get Windows to work.* Blue Man recently ridiculed me again.


*Ta kindly for your unflagging support, F.K. You remain a role model to me. Did as you suggested but wallet still doesn't work. Sorry, matey: just had a gutful all around!
