Development Update

I'm pleased to announce that we've been making significant progress with the up and coming update, with much of it coming in the last few weeks.  Our wallet is getting a bit of a face-lift.  Note, that this is just my area of responsibility.  Steven has a lot going on in his lane too.


The Wallet

• The new layout is more Android friendly, with a vertical menu at the left instead of at the top.
• The startup time has been reduced significantly, especially on the Android platform
• A "Staking" transaction type has been added and a new icon.  Stakes previously showed as "Generated".
• Security fixes.
• Wallet-side support for OneClick has been implemented.  A separate application will be published that will be kicked off by the wallet, with the necessary parameters passed from the wallet that will be used to configure the miners for anonymous mining.
• A new status bar icon has been added that gives estimated stake info and status messages that let you know that you have mature coin groups ready to stake (or not). Hopefully this will help take some of the mystery out of staking. (Thanks Fluttercoin)
• A new alert key has been generated and implemented for main-net.  We'll be able to use the alert feature to tell investors to update their wallet to the latest version should an update be necessary at any point in the future.
• The minimum required protocol has been raised to the current wallet version (70056).
• All the new updates are currently in the dev branch of the Git repository.  After I'm satisfied with testing, we'll publish new packages for Windows, OSX, Linux and Android.

OneClick

• Modified NOMP and the wallet to support Ultracoin's signing of submitted blockhashes.  This was necessary to get anonymous mining to work as it isn't supported with any Peercoin-like PoS coin that also signs submitted blockhashes.  The act of signing the block changes it's blockhash and NOMP tries to use the original blockhash to verify the submission, and as several have noticed, it fails.
• Currently iterates through all NVidia cards installed using the Cuda library.  It will be trivial to start the cards in batches of the same model type, using autotune, and aim them at the anonymous pool.
• The same algorithm that is at cfg.ultracoin.net has been implemented.  Now what is needed is the ADL calls to iterate through all installed ATI models, and a lookup table of specs (shaders, memory, etc) or to programmatically come up with them for use with the settings generator.

Miscellaneous infrastructure apps

• Updated ultracoin-seeder with the newest protocol version to be released (70057) and minimum accepted protocol version to the current wallet (70056).  Only those wallets on the latest fork will be considered working.
• Published Ultracoin ports of bitcoin-seeder and bitcoin-abe to my repository (https://github.com/Kracko).  You too can run your own seeder and block chain explorer.  And seriously, if you want to set up a seeder on a dedicated server and support the coin, let me know and I'll add yours to the list in the wallet.
• As mentioned above, anonymous mining with NOMP is now possible.  One, or possibly both, of the pools will be transitioned to anonymous mining.  From an operator standpoint, this is much more desirable as there is no balance of coins to protect from hackers as they are immediately issued upon after the block matures.

Future development plans in consideration

• Light wallet implementation.  This one is critical as it will greatly speed up synching time as the wallet will only care about transactions relating to it.  This one is huge, and will be my next priority after the OneClick implementation is done
• iOS wallet.  We have a new dev on the team who will be working on this one.
• A port of bitcoinj, fully supporting Proof of Stake and scrypt-jane.
• Identify stake blocks in the block explorer and represent them more clearly
• A voodoo doll of Ultradar to be passed around for your needling enjoyment.

Only i can say at this stage is that stop get covering your dissability to deliver any development by the fact that every coin is down and so ultracoin also this is not an excuse .Look at darkcoin right now it has so huge potential and is rising because it has huge development also.What about ultracoin?All i can see is DEVS capable to develop dolls and some marketing tricks about android wallets and one click miners?where is the development Steven?Kracko? Does anyne has any answer to this you are promising those stuff that will come out very soon since last 6 months and nothing is on the table now only dust and words on this thread!dont get me wrong with your tricks ,you only lie and make excuse .Put your fucking ass down and start developing smth usefull for this coin get some serious devs with innovative ideas and start working tirelessly like other devs and communities do .You need to deliver your promises and ideas in a matter of time .everything on developing side need to have a small timeframe not taking forever this takes away the attention as it seems you uncapable of doing smth good and usefull for the coin.THIS IS CRYPTO AND EVERYTHING EVOLVES VERY fast its not a restaurant bussines take years to establish .Regards ultradar the voodoo doll.

For like 2 hours I am trying to setup my 280X to mine UTC and it's a pain in the ass .

I tried all setups possible from Ultraminer or YACMiner

And ALL I GET is HW errors and Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue.

- YACMINER CFG 1

- YAC MINER CFG 2

- UltraMiner CFG1

Ultra Miner CFG 2

ULTRAMINER CFG 3

I even tried setups from this website : http://cfg.ultracoin.net

AND NOTHING . Is this coin minable ? Or only OP's are knowing how to mine ? :| What is this bs ?!

I don't know how this community expect support when they cannot give support on miners . It sucks .

New card for chacha?

I notice its hard to find any support for mining of UTC .
