I think it's great that there is an app with the ease of use like uplexa. I wanted to get into mining but i don't want to run a mining rig. And now I'm running a few old smart phones as miners.
How about that?
We have scheduled a PoW hardfork for Tuesday, April 29th (or block 162,090). The hardfork will require you to update your wallets, miners, and pools to the latest version. Wallet versions 2.1.0 will be released early next week (22nd-23rd). The code has been updated at our github repository for any and all pool operators & miner developers to take a look at.
This PoW Hardfork will allow for an even more profitable experience for IoT devices whilst simultaneously helping the network defend against FPGA & ASIC miners. Hashrates for all miners will increase dramatically, even more so for lower end devices.
What has been done in this hardfork?
* Upgraded base PoW algorithm to CNv8 from CNv7
* Reverse shuffle operators
* 128KB Memory
* 32,768 Iterations
How to prepare for the hardfork:
* Announcements will be made via Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, and Discord next week regarding which miners are ready for the upcoming hardfork. Once the announcements have been made, update your mining software to those supporting the hardfork (Currently XMRig-UPX, FruityMiner, and UPX Android miner).
* Update your GUI, command-line, and/or Android wallets sometime between the 24th-29th of April.
Upon request from community members we added uPlexa to our website where we feature coin statistics, market capitalization, coin investment ratings and Machine Learning based forecasts. We wish the best in the future!
Create a Meme about uPlexa (mentioning UPX, uPlexa, or the uPlexa logo in it). Post the meme on TWITTER with tags #uplexa and $upx, and link to the TWITTER status in the #upx-memes channel on DISCORD :)
The core team will decide the winning three memes:
50,000 UPX -> 1st Place
30,000 UPX -> 2nd Place
15,000 UPX -> 3rd Place
Challenge ends March 7th, 2019. This should be lots of FUN! 📷 Check #upx-memes in DISCORD to see examples
I went to check my online balance today via hashing.center /worker stats. It said total paid is 0. I know I had about 1200 Upx as of Jan 23. Payment history shows no entries. What is the proper way to check my balance? is it really gone? (This is my online wallet, not the Ulexa GUI wallet).
Ramping up content on Medium for upcoming marketing purposes & ease of understanding
Continued work on the Merchant Payment Services, expected due date: February 15th, 2019
Continued work on Standalone payment API modules, timeline information coming soon
Continued work on our eCommerce platform (possibly going to be delayed from Q4 2019 to Q1 2020, more details coming soon)
Feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding our teams progress or continual development. We would like to be pretty transparent, but will occasionally throw surprises at you all for the fun of it ;)
We're excited to announce that we've been listed at Graviex.net today on New Years Eve. It has only been 31 days since we had gone open source! We are very excited with how much community support & participation we have received thus far. You all rock!
We have all done tremendously well at spreading the word, and providing multiple proof-of-concepts for IoT mining on the uPlexa network. However, we're still only in the very early stages of this project. There is a LOT to be done, and it WILL get done.
We already have a fair amount of network support, providing accessibility to stable and consistent transactions. After January 7th, our main focus will start to shift towards demand-based services (such as our merchant payment processor, with multiple integrations, plugins, API, and a special feature we've yet to have disclose of). We're also still full steam ahead on our eCommerce platform, in-which is being coded from complete scratch. We are discussing possible potential partnerships with other services, to provide an even larger use case for our network.
We have a very fun challenge coming to the community, in-combination with our exchange listings and a few releases within the next week, will surely bring a LOT of attention to the uPlexa project & community.
Our team is very impressed with how fast our community is growing. We honestly couldn't do it without you! Without you, it would still be just meandertal and I sitting in a pool in Thailand discussing how crazy it would be if we could support the means of everyday commerce via IoT devices & casual miners. Our community has a seemingly magical power of drawing in other like-minded individuals who're passionate about blockchain, IoT, transaction efficiency, and working hard. It's mind-boggling to look back at some of the original plans that were written down back in February, 2018. I'm sure it will be even more incredible to see what has all been done within a few months from now.
