The miners exist only to provide the Utopia network necessary to function. The reward a miner gets is only a way to say "thank you" for providing bandwidth.
This is very important. Miners should not mine only for profit. They need to understand that they are a mandatory part of Utopia. Maybe the reward should only be given for the ones that sustain for a long time the process, and with moderate number of miners per PK key.

In a chat on #Utopia-MiningSupport channel some users complain about fraudulent use of temporary miners to flood the net and blocking minor miners of getting their reward. Maybe it's time to impose more strict regulations on CRP mining, as proposed by some users.

"The result is that all trustable miners will stop mining while the entire network will be driven by scammers", says one user.

One proposal is to block rewards for well-known PK keys.
[later edit] I just find out that no one can block a PK key from getting mining rewards.

I would propose to limit the number of miners per PK key (although this would not really solve the problem).

What is your opinion on this? Do you have some ideas to solve this problem?

#28 Re: General Discussion » Advertising Utopia offline? » 2022-02-14 17:51:17

Offline advertising is very important. Maybe some users with graphic skills could make mini-posters so anyone could print and stick them on walls...

Anonimity is paramount in a corrupt society where corruption is advertised as lobby. There is no government in the world who escaped this plague.

Today the Romanian Police made public it's decision to buy cripto-mining detection software in order to discover suspicious activities on the net. Is Utopia "detection-resistant" to such software?

#31 Re: Borderless Society » Utopia Romania » 2022-02-14 17:33:35

Inspectoratul General al Politiei Romane (IGPR) cumpara soft-uri de 1,6 milioane lei pentru monitorizarea tranzactiilor cu criptomonede. Anuntul privind achizitia a fost lansat luni, 14 februarie, pe platforma de achizizitii publice SICAP. Politia Romana va plati si un curs de pregatire online a 20 de politisti care vor utiliza solutia informatica, al carui cost este estimat la 60.000 lei fata TVA.

Achizitia se incadreaza in proiectul „Investigarea infractionalitatii informatice si analiza probelor digitale” finantat de UE si include un set de 6 programe de monitorizare si un kit de training.

„La acest moment, la nivelul Directiei de Combatere a Criminalitatii Organizate cat si la nivelul structurilor teritoriale sunt folosite echipamente si produse software care nu mai corespund cerintelor actuale in domeniul perchezitionarii si cercetarii sistemelor informatice. De asemenea, la momentul actual, in dotarea I.G.P.R. nu exista o aplicatie software care sa vina in sprijinul specialistilor care desfasoara activitati de analiza a tranzactiilor cu criptomonede, aceste analize fiind efectuate cu solutii gratuite care nu ofera intotdeauna informatii complete cu privire la diversele tipuri de tranzactii efectuate pe piata cripto”, se arata in Caietul de Sarcini al achizitiei.

Iata care sunt principalele cerinte ale IGPR in ce priveste solutiile informatice:
Sa verifice legaturile dintre tranzactiile cu criptomonede;
Sa urmareasca si sa verifice fluxurile monetare in cadrul blockchain-urilor;
Sa poata identifica orice detinator de portofel electonic pe baza adresei tranzactiei cu criptomonede;
Sa scaneze automat mai mult de 1.000 forumuri, aplicatii media si site-uri darknet;
Interfata intuitiva prin care utilizatorii pot viziualiza si crea rapoarte intuitive cu fluxurile de criptomonede;
Sa poata accesa informatiile contextuale open source (OSINT) de pe diverse site-uri web;
Numar nelimitat de investigatii.

Din punct de vedere al IGPR, criminalitatea informatica, inclusiv cea care implica folosirea criptomonedelor, este de natura nu numai a produce prejudicii materiale, dar si sa strice imaginea Romaniei in exterior, justifica institutia necesitatea achizitiei

„Din punctul de vedere al tendintelor, criminalitatea informatica produsa in Romania afecteaza, pe langa institutiile financiare, sistemele informatice si imaginea Romaniei pe plan extern. Astfel, este necesar a se realiza o mai buna coordonare si prevenire a acestui fenomen la nivel national pentru a cunoaste factorii generatori de criminalitate informatica si a reduce impactul acestuia”, potrivit anuntului publicat pe SICAP.

Livrarea produselor se va face in termen de 45 de zile de la semnarea contractului cu furnizorul selectat, se mai precizeaza in anunt. Ofertele se desfac in 22 martie, departajarea lor se face in functie de pret si durata cat mai mare a licentei de operare pentru soft-uri (minim 24 luni).
neutral Sunt foarte interesat sa stiu daca Utopia poate trece neobservata de aceste softuri...

Well, I live in Bucharest, and since there is already a channel for Bucharest, I will use it. For other cities, I let the new users in Romania to create the channels for their town.

Maybe a quick poll would be useful? How about, on a scale from "not important", to "crucial", asking users some questions about:
1) anonimity
2) security
3) protection

Yes, it may be really outdated, but nevertheless, it's catchy (at least for some users).

While waiting for the new interface, let's motivate users to join Utopia P2P ecosystem by daily donating some CRP via uVoucher channel (or, right here, in uTalk). I did it, feel so good!

#37 Re: Channels and Groups » uVoucher » 2022-02-13 08:52:41

Grab this uVoucher NOW!
I am donating this to the first user who grabs it.
UTP-QI56-BW7K-2UXJ-RANT-CLEV
This is a way to say "Thank You" to the 1984 group for creating Utopia P2P ecosystem.

#38 Re: Articles and News » Utopia's Main Characteristics » 2022-02-13 08:44:49

While it shares characteristics with Tor, it is more than just that because it has a buil-in cryptocurrency CRP, for use inside the P2P ecosystem, but also can be used outside. Providing API for developers to create more ways of integrating in Utopia ecosystem, it can become the "de facto" standard for fair use and anonimity.

Yes, Utopia should go with self regulation, it is by far the most effective approach. We are the community, and we should take care of ourselves. My personal opinion: Utopia P2P it is too important to afford being used for illegal activities.

Maybe if there is a leaderboard for Go game, and there should be a monthly (and, possibly, yearly) prize (CRP) for the top 3 leaders, I think this should attract more users.

Utopia P2P ecosystem is doing it's part to secure the framework. However, any user must take his/her own steps to complement those and making unauthorized access virtual impossible. Choose a STRONG password (should be very long, with some CAPS and digits and some special characters).

Since Utopia Mining Bots are only for Linux, you can use Virtual Machine (from VMWare - use Player, or from Oracle - use VirtualBox): install any vm client in your Windows PC, start the vm client and install in it a linux distribution of your choice. At this point you should have a Linux VM up and running. Use the official link at Utopia to install the Linux Mining Bot inside Linux VM.

Although there already is a channel for Bucharest/Romania, I am looking forward to see more channels for every city in the country.

@money_ranger:
Thank you for this reply, I am also interested on the topic. It would be very useful if the team at Utopia P2P would consider making a mining bot for Windows, and skipping the need for VM.

Utopia P2P ecosystem is rich in features and has a longstanding history. While there are users in many countries using it, I wonder how can it achieve mass adoption in Romania? The network speed in Romania is very high thanks to the infrastructure, and cryptocurrencies are a common subject in daily talks. Utopia P2P is already available in Romanian language, so this is a BIG advantage. What can be done to raise the awareness in Romania about this top ecosystem?
