Bitcoin Forum

you have dazzled me with pretty colors. im in.

could be interesting if its not an ico.

cool, bookmarked for the updates

When, What Algo, Pre-Mine, PoS, PoW, ICO, etc.  Those are things we need to know.

pls set a countdown and more information

Wow, looks like some scene out of star wars, but with E.T or something

Looks cool

E.T.  LOL Hope we are not walking around after sayin "Ouch"

alright but could u set any timeline, instead of jumping back on each notification will just increase your view stats but you would loose your potential investors since only few of them sitting on this forum 24/7 :)

just a suggestion to put up some countdown for the community and for your team too

actually im night crawler that is my worry  :D

LOL thanks now I can go to sleep

I will watch this. The preann is cool looking but this could all be a dud to.
we will see.
good luck devs
lets see what you can do.

I already reserved a couple of rigs for this badboy, i'm ready to instamine!!!

Pools???

keeping my eye on this one enjoy the name should ring well with the demographic  ;)

I'll add one but there is no info about algo, launchtime, rewards etc. yet...

Dude, you serious? What the hell am I supposed to do with my rigs now?

Wtf? For real? Why would you go rent rigs before a launch?

You can always mine some $PHIL !

LOL

Just wait and watch.
There will be some ninja launch today.... like everyday. ;)

New pre pre Hype

let's follow and wait towards infinity

The advertising looks good. I am curious if the specs will be as good.

But with such advertising I am afraid that'll end up with a silly ICO/IPO and that's all. I sooo hope I'm wrong...

Lol rigs for which algo?


Please add some info in the OP  ;)

To be the first, before price explodes, doh!
And ocminer, what's so great about $PHIL? Don't get me wrong, but i'm not really looking for another coin to mine.

Currently mining some other coin called Grav, although your pool doesn't seem to work at all... will switch to another party if you keep fucking up.

Thank you.

Please give me some of the pot you are/were smoking.

GRAV's POW phase has ended - you cannot mine it anymore, that is why the pool is not "working at all" :-)

$PHIL is the greatest coin of all, it has mighty cat power.

we need real results dev!!!

full information
wallets
nodes
road map
block explorer
exchange

Wait a second. You're launching pools for PoS coins now? What's next, Philipvdlinde not being a scammer? I don't believe this shit.
Another BTC down the drain. Thank you.

 
Good morning HALO Community.

Let's stay on topic please, and keep the forum positive. We have issued a teaser, nothing more...

We have a full release right around the corner. There's no need for speculation-- negative or positive-- as we havent released any hard details.

Of course thank you all for those who posted positive feedback, as well as those who have PM'd us positive messages and followed us on Twitter @HaloCurrency

Hoping everyone has a great day!

Halo
 

Countdown?

To those who have asked why we decided on a moderated thread;

We debated this for some time. While a non-moderated thread would be the ideal platform for the launch of HALO, we came to the decision to moderate the PRE-ANN Thread because Bitcointalk.org simply doesn't provide the level of accountability or verification of potentially negative posts/and/or/information being spread within the HALO Community.

 
We've already removed a few of posts from this thread. Not because we are seeking to silence the voice or opinions of members simply because we disagree with their point of view. Rather, we want the HALO Project, and our community, to not include the rampant skepticism and negativity which plagues so many threads on many forums.

The skepticism that is present on many threads is certainly warranted. We have all been victim to the abuses and nefarious activities that have left a bad taste in our mouths wishing cryptocurrency could be something more. Something better. That spirit is what we hope to achieve with HALO.

HALO, is a new beginning.

We have yet to make a decision on whether the [ANN] Topic will be moderated. And if so, what guidelines would be used to moderate posts in determining any take-downs. At this time, the decision has not yet been made.

The HALO Project and Team invite those who want to participate and follow in our discussion as we lead up to launch with constructive and thoughtful posts.

We'll be releasing sneak peeks of information about the HALO Project and soon you'll be introduced to Halo, our Team Heroine.

Today, keep a look out for an addition on the OP post, and in the meantime, have a great morning!

The HALO Team
 

algo?

Some more info please  ;D ;D Pretty colours and im a massive Halo fan boy

What algorithm is this? I got my Zeus Thunder X3 ready...

Going by the silhouette in the graphic, you might want to check that you're not sailing a little too close to the wind:

Halo knows of Halo Jones, but they aren't related. ;)

The amazing artwork in our OP thread is original work created by team's visual effects artist and animator.  

The HALO Project Team

P.S. Isnt one supposed to sail close to the wind? ;)

Waiting for timer.

I like the logo. Will wait on more details.

THx for being honest about the reason this thread is moderated.....

I do hope the devs know what they are doing  ;D ;D this could be a exciting coin, I think if they get the coin right it will do well

Watching cause beyonce

LOL

They wrote it will take aprox. a week.

If it says HALO I might as well give it a try if it even releases.

Pfft, learn to read... “too close”.

Cheers

Graham

Now listen up, asswipe. I've lost 1.3BTC due to your coin and ocminer's decision to not launch a pool yet + his mistake to put up a pool for a PoS coin (Grav).

So it's only normal that i'm a bit negative, don't you think?
Launch the coin this instant, goddamnit!

Logo is good

How can you already lose money on a coin that hasent even launched yet?

Well, maybe because I rented a couple of big rigs in advance, before someone else could take them? Captain obvious speaking ^

what kind of rigs did you rent and who gave you any info about algo?  Huh

He is either a semi-funny troll or a moron. Simple as that. :)

I get it, don't think that is the dev's fault tho. Never put a timeframe on launch, just "soon" if this was launched and failed then your stuck with rigs I would get it, but its not the case. at least on NH you can cancel order anytime vs MRR.

Dev give us more information man!

Trolling or not, please stop polluting this thread. This Halo team has my interest which is a good start.

So you rented every algo or what?

You're like a kid before Christmas ihascryptos! ;)

Don't fret, the excitement starts soon.

The HALO Project Team

OK Date confirmed. Christmas 2015  :P

With the botched CFS launch today (delayed by 1 day) all eyes are on HALO

I really like the algorithm. 

Any news on launch time yet?  come on dev.. throw us a freakin bone here.

Why is the algo so secret! What are you doing! Is it a secret algo? have you restructured a Frankenstain like algo? is it a satanic algo you summoned from killing strings of virgins at a full moon? or are you secret north korean hackers and making us hash out the codes to the US nuke?

 
We'd also like to remind and ask everyone who is willing to please send the word out. The power of decentralized virtual currencies in many ways also comes with responsibilities by early adopters. We want a strong, positive, thoughtful community. And that isn't possible without your participation and help.

You can visit our Twitter @HaloCurrency   http://www.twitter.com/HaloCurrency

We've set up a Google+ Profile Page:  https://plus.google.com/u/0/100092417112847142962/posts/p/pub

We certainly appreciate any mentions, support, or even questions in the forum, twitter or on Google+

Thanks everyone!

Definitely sounds like you guys have been working hard and with that I hope that there will be a bright future with the coin.  I mean 90% of the other coins just release without thinking too far into the future which is an obvious downfall of a lot of them.  Also sounds like you are going to have this Multi Algorythm, feel free to correct me if I am wrong on that point.  If it is that will be a nice change, as people with AMD/NVIDIA/CPU would have an easier time minting the coin.

I've got my eyes on you baby 8)

Why is the algo so secret! What are you doing! Is it a secret algo? have you restructured a Frankenstain like algo? is it a satanic algo you summoned from killing strings of virgins at a full moon? or are you secret north korean hackers and making us hash out the codes to the US nuke?
[/quote]

i'm personally hoping on North Korean agents.  Sacrificing virgins is just wrong.

That avatar makes me crave some new age funk :)   Up all night to get HALO

All good but it's starting to sound like a timer for some ICO shit. Seriously hope I'm wrong.

This one is looking good now.

No ico or else you get a new unmoderated topic :)

They havn't said anything about an ICO....

Well, yeah, sure.  But just in case they're thinking about...

Already 24 hours.

Intresting.

OMG!!!! DEV didnt post anything yet!!! scam. omg. Developing something unique should be quicker than this.

crypto addicts. I guess better than doing H

Any updates, Timer, Algorithm etc.?

but nothing new :(

it's all suspense mate for the best coin ever

haha, yes it is the next level.

Anticipation! 

How do you have any expectations with a newbie account?

DEV: Last Active:   May 16, 2015, 03:39:46 PM

probably he forgot this coin   ::)

Yes sir TorontoR. Dead before its even born. We call this a still born.

Dev is back on keyboard and online and will start back to work on this.

Was, like many of you, excited about this one then it just stopped.

From what I was told his reasons seemed understandable/unfortunate, he had matters (life) that took priority over this project, and didn't want to not commit 100% of what he was capable of.

I was told ANN thread is coming (As opposed to just this Pre-Ann/Name Reservation)

So I suppose we stay tuned.

Thanks for the update. I'll continue watching this now and we'll see where it goes.

Im excited. Cant wait to see the ANN.
What time GMT is the announcement going up?

What are the SPECS? the ALGO? The coin supply? I WANT IN THIS COIN NOW!!!!!

The Official ANN Thread will be launched on June 28th, 2015 at 18:00 GMT.

The ANN thread will include detailed project information as well as launch information on Phase One POW. Including Countdown / Important Upcoming Dates for those interested in being a part of the HALO Community.

Thanks for your interest!

The HALO Team


EDIT:  Typo Edited regarding date.

All of this information will be included on our ANN page which will be released this Sunday at 18:00 GMT.

Phase One POW will be based on a widely used POW Algorithm, be announced in advance (in terms of start of POW), and will use a difficulty re-targeting system which prevents mining abuse.

We are excited that a number of the top pools in the digital currency industry have already confirmed their commitment to host HALO for mining.

In addition, we will introduce you to The HALO Pool, a HALO Only Dedicated Pool featuring multiple high capacity servers based on 4 different continents spanning the world.

The HALO Team

Could be interesting, wonder if an IPO will be announced and official coin specs, might consider this an investment.

Well I'm going to be honest you have definitely sparked my interest mate :) Hopefully you will have a nice successful launch and you have some cutting edge ideas for this cryptocurrency because you've got a killer name and it's been long waited and anticipated from what I've heard mate ;) Cheers

Thanks that is very much appreciated.

We decided to push all upcoming milestone dates; despite the interest/excitement that had begun to take hold; due to our main Senior Technical Dev having family matters which he understandably needed to focus on. We all agreed that pushing back our roll out was the best route to ensure that no aspects of the HALO Project were compromised.

In addition; we realized well into the development of one of our key features would require specific expertise and time/labor which we didn't want to rush. For that we had to reach outside the crypto-currency industry (including vetting firms/candidates; which took time) to bring in the required talent that helped us bring that feature to life. It's been a project long in the works. We're excited to see it finally come to life.

The HALO Team

lets use our imagination ,

algo sha 512

reward system pow/pos

1000 coins a block for the first 2880 blocks then pure proof of stake

30 second blocks

give you a whole day of proof of work

proof of stake can kick in with minimum stake age 15 minutes

90 minutes full weight

sounds like a bitcoin killa

I hate to be this negative and it will probably be deleted even though it is total truth.  First of all you peaked some interest yes.  Asked us to get the word out and some did including me.  Those people have long lost interest and moved on.  All that has been done here is over hype with empty words.  You better be rolling pure gold balls out to us in order to live up to the OVER hype otherwise everyone will move on and your Halo "Team" will have way overthought this project and peoples reaction to it.  ALL of your words are EMPTY.  You are not saying anything at all!!!!
I have been at least interested to see what you are trying to pull off.  I hope it is good.  What it really looks like is the start of a major pump for the dev to sell out.  Man I hope I am wrong but it is not been good so far.  Artwork is cool but the thing in the middle kinda looks like a fairy......I don't know.  You need to at least say what the algo is so we will know if we even want to mine it.  I will be looking in a couple of days to see how you manage to create something that everyone is going to WOW over.  I hope you do!!!  I will mine it if you do but over hype normally means bend over to miners and watch the dev hit it big while they run away with btc.  Ok, I am going to wait also and hope for something HUGE.  Also going to keep my eye on whatever exchange you are planning on using to see if the big selloff happens.  I hope not.

Good luck everybody including me depending on the algo.  Hope I didn't rub anyone the wrong way but I just see it as truth!!  This needs to launch soon and needs an algo to have a smooth launch...and no wallets right at launch.  Ok ok!!  Let's go to the races!!!!

In regards to deleting your post. We've only deleted posts which were, in our opinion; offensive/used abusive language/etc. You post has now been committed to this thread; as you bring up valid concerns which I'll address. (This response may be edited if any of our team wishes to add to the response - edits will be noted).

1.) We certainly appreciate your initial interest; and of course anything you did to help spread the word.

2.) I know you've said you've lost interest, my only response would be I hope you consider taking a close look on Sunday; and simply seeing what HALO will offer.

3.) In terms of what we are rolling out; wouldn't it be fair to say that most digital currency releases are severely "under-thought". We have; yes; put a lot of thought into this project.

4.) Everyone will be fine with the algo; and to be frank; there has been to much focus on that. It's nothing scarce. It's highly available. You will all be pleased.

5.) There will be no major sell off. We have a 1 Year and 3 Year Cash-Flow Forecast in place which we will be publishing pre-launch which clearly outlines all anticipated expenses to:  Secure Primary Nodes for 3 Year; Secure Secondary Nodes for 1 Year; Marketing/Advertising Expenditures for Social Ads; Forum Ads; and Misc; as well as a line by line itemization of all other expenses which will be required to position HALO as a leading digital currency for our future.

6.) One aspect we considered paramount to the success of HALO was that while the currency is decentralized; there must be a business aspect that makes financial sense. To investors; to those who mine; to those who adopt; there must be control within the chaos.

Our team is comprised of nearly all digital currency veterans. We've looked at what other coins did, why the ones which succeeded did so, and why so many fail. Running HALO from a Foundation point of view; where there is not a road map; but rather the means; the ability; to realize our plans and deliver on our promise.

We believe HALO can be everything in which Bitcoin aimed to do; but simply was never designed or capable of.

In closing; our only failed "milestone" was the "milestone". As noted earlier in the forum; our Senior Developer had personal matters which he had to focus on. It's as simple as that. We hadn't launched anything; there was never an ANN thread created.

We hope you'll consider seeing what HALO is, and will be, this Sunday at 18:00 GMT.

The HALO Team

I really appreciate your reply.  At least some info kinda came out that leaves me intrigued.  I think what I said was that the people I led here became disinterested and moved on.  I am sure I can get them back but I want to see what the 28th brings first.  I understand having to deal with family issues and I hope it is not extreme.  Like I said, I will be here for the 28th.  Thanks again for you kind reply.  Still only empty words though lol.  Jokin....kinda.  Can you do something about the fairy though.  Either something bad@s$ or something sexy.  It just looks to much like Tinkerbell to me.  Otherwise it looks pretty cool.  Thanks again.  I anxiously will await.

No problem at all.

Regarding the "fairy". She, or HALO... simply put has no wings. It's a cape she's wearing. She a Heroine.

Unfortunately for now HALO will only in appear shadow. But rest assured she's everything you'd want her to be. And in time you'll see more and more of her as HALO comes to life.

HALO is nothing but Brave, Sexy, Bad-Ass as you said it (but just a bit)- and really more Caddy in actuality; She's Just, Caring, Virtuous, Courageous, and most of all Heroic.

The HALO Team

Exciting. Looking forward to Sunday.

Well actually I am too after getting some points off my chest.  I want to see if the words and the hype and the waiting are going to be worth anything.  Hopefully it will be a quick launch though.  Everybody will be gone if it takes another week to launch.  A 4th of July launch should not happen anyway because people in th US will be partying...I mean spending time with family cooking out and all and we will be spending time with family from probably Thursday til Tuesday.  Yea that seems about how it goes.

you guys took too long hopefully now the ANN would be worth of waiting, looking forward to the dates

Well... it is Sunday the 27th and about 3 hours
past the long awaited announcement - now what Dev.?

Waiting in anticipation!?

Our calendar says Saturday the 27th... with the release on our posts saying Sunday the 28th.

Did we skip a day?

Most Americans think that the time in their country is a time constant of the universe.

Pretty lame comment to post!!  Painting with such a wide brush!!  If you took the time to at least scan the pages you would have seen that the release is for the 28th @ 18:00 GMT.  That is not US time but it would be pointless to try to explain this to you.  If you want to know what time it will be where you are then Google or preferably DuckDuck it.  If you do not know about DuckDuck then just Google it lmao.

Ok....something to get the teeth into later  ;)

Maybee    :o

Just to make sure you're aware:  Mining does not begin today. Just the launch of the ANN thread with all the information.

what algorithm?

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Oh well! I'm sure it will be good when it is ready - soon?!

So what is happening to this coin?

Any news is better than no news - Dev??

What Happened ?

Its nearly lunch time here on Monday  ;D infact I can feel a sandwich coming on.....

  So is that 18:00 Greenwich Mean Time by way of the Bermuda Triangle? Dev's must have gotten stuck in traffic, I suppose.

Hi. This coin will be released some day?. That is going slower than the politicians of my country...

LOL so your an Aussie then!! :P

The OP is pretty but not very informative. I am intrigued however, and I will keep an eye on this thread to see if it's something I'm interested in mining.

Waiting for more informations! :)

Likewise watching. Would be nice to know release dates/algo etc.

I suppose I prefer the suspense with Halo to another crap coin literally churned out overnight, and dumped. They certainly haven't rushed the coin into POW or ICO, whichever it is... And major pool owners are supposedly planning on hosting for POW, so there is something being worked on or worked out. Other than the delays, they've been on, active it seems and answering questions without giving away details.

Tired of the coins where the Dev has 1 post. The ANN, and thats it. That doesnt seem to be the case here.

I suppose we'll find out soon enough and can judge from there.

Cheers!

Strato

Dev gone - coin dead!  :D :D

Ok this thread was on the 5th page.  I am not going to even try to keep a thread where it needs to be when the devs do not even care.  For all I know they are gone.  Bad to crap on people that are interested.  It only proves that you are in it for the short term and totally for yourself.  Don't even try to say that you have been so busy trying to make your greatness work for us that you totally forgot about us.  You know that I have only mostly been joking with you in my comments unless I brought up valid points.  Well, joking unless Halo is a chick lol.  PM me.  I am going to delete most of my posts because I would never disrespect anyones thread unless they obviously are going to rip people.  At least it kept thing interesting and people coming in somewhat while you devs ran.  My first post remains valid.  I will not delete it.  Hope you have the guts not to delete some of my valid ones when I am not just jokin.  I wish you luck with this if you even can figure it out and earn anyones trust back.  Well, the people that have been around anyway.  Some will just mine anything.  I will for sure keep my eyes open if you devs are capable of keeping this thread where it needs to be.  You know what I am talking about.  I would like to check it out at least if you ever show up again.  Anyway, time to delete.  Good luck devs but especially good luck miners and investors.  If ya do come back......Hey.....Halo??  I still need that elusive answer.   ;)

Is halo release postponed?  ???

Lol.......wow.  No comment.  I am done devs.  If you come back then the thread is back to a small manageable size.  Hey....Halo??  I'll be back lol.  See ya.

i guess i need to turn off notifications from this thread we are waiting for your pre launch ann and seems you miss your noted timeline again :)
