Has interesting implications for our greater Un-Ex idea.

Hey just a heads up, Bleutrade is having issues with deposits and withdrawals.  Here's a snip from their chat window:

sawkrumbs this working?
jagrapolite5 yeah
sawkrumbs Ty...Any idea how long it usually takes for the zendesk help to get back on a request?

Over a week ago, I had trouble withdrawing a tertiary alt, and it wasn't until the workweek, again, that they finally sent it.  I would say the 'risk' right now is low to moderate, but not 'freak out and pull out your hair'.

Today, I sent some BTC there, and my account was never credited.  I also attempted an UNO withdrawal, with no response as well.  Their system did record the withdrawal, but did nothing with it.

If I had to guess, I would think next week this will be dealt with.

RECOMMENDATION:  DO NOT DEPOSIT (OR WITHDRAW?) FUNDS TO/(FROM) BLEUTRADE FOR THE TIME BEING.

[ETA:  Additional chat:

mcmont Hello users, we received a warning that one of our servers had fallen. We are restoring the connection and everything will be normalized in the next minutes.]

[ETA, cont.:  That's fine and dandy, but it doesn't complete either of my two transactions.]

[Last edit:  Everything is fine, now, see 2 posts down from here.]

It looks like Bleutrade is ok, again.  Both my deposit and withdrawal were processed.

There was a minor logon bug, too, which is also resolved.

I assume it was just a server down, like they said, and maybe some transition or something, but everything appears fine, now.  I will still leave Post #5787 as a record.

It's an Australian mob. You pay about 7% over the mark. It was IMZ that nudged the guy into accepting Uno.

We used these cards right back in 2013 (fewer coins accepted) because they are a great marketing tool, a 'bridge' to cryptos. It was fun in Small Western Australian Town to go to the Manager of a Mitre Ten Hardware or a Caltex Store, and explain that we were (indirectly) buying their products with a currency they denied the validity of.

Bitcoingiftcards appears to use CoinPayments to process all non-BTC payments. I've looked into using them myself but instead opted to simply use my own BTC and UNO wallets and to only accept those coins. Of course, with the Un-Ex growing, such a decision is made easier because with the Liquidity Engine I could safely and quickly sell some of the cryptos I recieve from a customer and get local currency quickly and fee-free

What do you say, guys? Can we get the USD market rolling at

I think it is very good thing for UNO to have high price.
Higher price means there is incentive for miners to mine despite the upcoming drastic reward decreases.
We might cross 0.1 btc price this year. 

There is civil war ongoing in Bitcoin about the hardfork. Alts are on the up right now. I'm counting on 0.1 for Uno , that's much more according to the value i see.

I guess a fool and his Unobtanium are soon parted.   

It would be refreshing to see $UNO climb to $5 over the next ten days.  I really believe that it will happen as people look to alternatives to BTC. We've seen a lot of new, interested parties in this forum...

I mean, at 'Trex, the volume today is almost 6 BTC. That ought to keep us good with them for a few months!
