Hard Fork on block 1,182,000
(Please upgrade your wallet to 0.10.0 version)
Mission Statement
To grow the coins adoption we have reached out beyond our friends in the crypto coin world to include team members from ufology, science, broadcasting and entertainment.These liaisons will help fuel adoption by introducing groups, industries and entire communities to the merits of joining the UFO ecosystem.
We are actively seeking partners with opportunities that further decentralization, promote open source technologies and broaden an individual’s accessibility to free market commerce world wide. The UFOCoin Team will start posting developer bounties for new features, rewards for signing up merchants, social media campaigns and targeted airdrop promotions.
Technical Road Map and the Neoscrypt
UFO Coin has now hard forked to use the NeoScrypt hashing algorithm in an effort to remain within the realm of GPU mining and keep away from ASIC production in the near future. NeoScrypt uses very strong elements compared to the current version of Scrypt which has already been broken by differential analysis. This affords better protection than blending different hashing solutions together. Our philosophy is that decentralization should be the main drive for the crypto protocol and thus everyone should be able the join the network and be part of it, not just the owners of expensive hardware.
Together with the great community built around Feathercoin, we pledge to do everything within our range to advance the underlying technology and make it more secure, accessible and fun overall. There are many ideas and plans on the drawing board and they are coming soon. Neoscrypt was just the first step. We have redesigned our
website from scratch and drafted the intensive 2017 - 2018 UFO Technical Roadmap. For full detail, please visit our web page. Hats off to all the people who kept involved in this and made it possible!
Neoscrypt WhitepaperBushstar's outstanding job brought the code up to date and secured it from vulnerabilities.
Technical Features
NeoScrypt - The newest hashing algorithm uses blended Salsa 20/20 and Chacha 20/20, Blake2s for hashing and FastKDF.
Read Whitepaper.
Nite’s Gravity Well - This allows for rapid response to hash rate changes and recovery from high difficulty. Soon to be replaced by eHRC.
Time Warp Manipulability - Will be reduced to the point where its effect is negligible
Automatic Checkpointing - This vital feature for any coin prevents transaction roll back via 51% attacks

UFO Coin Wallets v0.10.0 (29/11/17)
!!!IMPORTANT UPGRADE!!!Please upgrade your wallets to v0.10.0!!!
PC and Mac versions are available The ufo.conf is now renamed to
ufocoin.conf since 0.9.0
Here is an example ufocoin.conf file:
rpcuser=ufouser
rpcpassword=6bjlvC5KKSjVyig5
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=0
rpcport=9888
port=9887
MINING
Please make sure that you are running NSGMiner 0.9.3 as the previous version 0.9.2 does not work with getblocktemplate.For solo mining, in your ufocoin.conf, set server=1. A good password should be a mixture of lowercase, uppercase and numbers - three classes of chars
Miner Software
Example config for R9 280X:
nsgminer --neoscrypt -w 128 -I 13 -o http://127.0.0.1:9888 -u username -p P4V5fgq3 --no-getwork --no-stratum --verbose --text-only --coinbase-addr BuWudvgPv9ni5iZR1yqSkqiPuvtESoLzqd
--thread-concurrency, --shaders, --vectors are not used for NeoScrypt. --intensity or -I is the primary performance optimiser. May be set between 8 and 20 according to your video card's memory size. For example, -I 16 means (2 ^ 16) GPU threads each of 32768 bytes = 2,147,483,648 bytes or 2Gb. There are some configuration tweaks available in neoscrypt.cl which might deliver a little bit of additional performance.
