Bitcoin Forum

Hello all!

This is my first post on bitcointalk.org and I must admit, I am nervous.
I am a relative noob to crypto, but I have experience in C/C++, python and JavaScript, so the core technology has been fascinating and very rewarding to learn about over the last couple years. I found it nearly impossible, with the open source nature of cryptocurrency's, to keep myself from taking a crack at producing an altcoin.

I am an avid believer in the medicinal benefits of marijuana. It has touched not only my life personally (my grandmother beat oral cancer, with the help of marijuana for insomnia, pain and lack of appetite), but many people I know as well. I know that I am far from the first person to think of mixing cannabis and crypto, but I have a different framework for how I think the two could be combined that's not exactly akin to the days of the silk road, but that also has a greater impact than just being another silly altcoin with weed in it's name and artwork.

I would like eventually to have TheHashCoin be the first fully integrated and dedicated (to an industry) electronic asset. Essentially, if all goes as planned (which let's face it, it almost never does) within the next year I would like to have TheHashCoin listed on an exchange, but to only be accepted in it's raw form (the actual digital "coins" themselves) at partnered legal medicinal marijuana dispensaries. This would mean that they would have tangible dollar value at an exchange, but could themselves only be accepted electronically(except when being exchanged) via partnered dispensaries.

So far, the development team consists of only myself and my one younger and one older brother (who are minimally involved at this point, but the project is still in it's infancy). With that being said, for the better part of the last year I have been developing this coin, trying all different sorts of block/target parameters, algorithms, protocols etc. I am not certain that I won't start from scratch again, as I am not sure my current setup will scale well, but I am as happy with it as I have ever been, which is why I am appealing to you, the general public, in hopes that you'll be willing to give us a download and mine a few THC's to help us with the development process! Our next big step will be completing our whitepaper, which once completed will be found at our github page as well as iconeat.com/ico/thehashcoin.

So though the coin is still in it's infancy, we do have a fully functioning litecoin based (scrypt PoW) altcoin with two dedicated seed nodes to sync the blockchain when you download the coin, and a fully functioning mining pool with variable stratum difficulty. The coin does have Segwit fully deployed/active with clearly marked addresses beginning with the letter "S" for segwit. Legacy addresses are to be used in the mining pool and begin with the letter "T". I will post all of the information for the github repo and mining pool below, if anyone has any questions please read the README in the github repo OR feel free to contact me here, on github or at this email address: bhuff25930@gmail.com

EDIT:

Also added pre-ico details to iconeat. Link posted below!

Some of the relevant coin parameters:

Target spacing: 30 seconds

Target time-span: 30 Minutes

Subsidy (block reward): 15 THC

Subsidy halving interval: 3,153,600 (about 3 years)

Total supply: 94,608,000 THC

About the coin parameters..

I am paranoid, being such a small, grassroots project and having such a small team right now, that people may game the coin. This is why I have the target time-span for a short 30 minutes or 60 blocks, so that if it happens they won't make off like thieves as the difficulty will readjust quickly. As for the 30 second spacing, I like the idea of keeping blocks small (even if there are more of them), and getting blocks on to the chain more quickly. I do have concerns about orphaned blocks becoming all too frequent when the hashrate increases beyond a certain point, but this is a bridge we will cross when we get to it.

**ALSO**:
 
Scrypt is not the only algo we plan on using for proof of work. We are currently working on having several (as many as possible) algos to run at sporadic intervals, as a way of reducing the power of mighty ASICs. The way we plan on having it work is to have our seed nodes randomly broadcast to all connected nodes (and then have those nodes broadcast outward) which algo is to be deployed at any given time and to have auto-switching setup in the pools/solo-miners based on that initial message from the RPC server. We don't have a solid time-frame for when this will be deployed yet, but we will keep everyone updated!
Thank you for reading!  :)

***IMPORTANT***

Saltpool is no longer operating,

This means that there are currently only 2 pools to mine THC:

stratum+tcp://asic.hashncash.net:3433

stratum+tcp://192.243.103.250:3333 (port 3032 for lower difficulty stratum and port 3256 for higher difficulty stratum)

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RUNNING A POOL FOR US!

additional mining pool (INFO/hashncash):

https://hashncash.net (details on the site)

iconeat pre-ico details: https://iconeat.com/ico/thehashcoin/

Seed node info:

We do have 3 seed nodes hardcoded into the source that are functioning (for most people), but if you are struggling to sync the chain please try to manually add them to your thehashcoin.conf file by appending the following lines:

connect=162.208.9.51:421
connect=192.243.103.250:421
connect=207.148.3.126:421

All of these nodes have the full chain and have been witnessed syncing other nodes on multiple occasions but if you still have issues let me know!

Official 64 & 32 bit binaries for windows are available on our github repo under release v0.2:

https://github.com/apt-get-schwifty/thehashcoin/releases/tag/v0.2

***PROOF OF STAKE COMING SOON!***

A special thanks to Ethereal2 for translating this talk into Russian! You can find that link here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025419.msg45469488#msg45469488

Thanks again to all!

windows users like: i cant compile anything...

Holy cow that was an incredibly fast response!

I appreciate it!  :D Hope to see a couple new workers in there soon!

And yes haha all the work for this build has been done using various linux distros, but you should have good luck compiling it using the windows instructions for litecoin compilation. I unfortunately only have detailed build instructions for linux distros on the github repo  :(

Haven't compiled anything in like 5 years... waiting patiently ;(

Well if you want to give compiling it a crack I would gladly support you the best I could!

my most recent experience compiling a binary for windows is definitely a few years old, but tbh I need to get some halfway decent build instructions for windows into my README asap anyway. Anything is better than "follow windows compilation guidelines for litecoin" lololol

When you say this, do you mean you will add the pool to a list of altcoin pools? Or do you mean you will compile the daemon/wallet and mine in the pool?

Either way, thank you!

cool.

at least you're being honest.

good luck with your project.

Thank you!

I appreciate that. If you're bored one day, check it out!

I know you have valuable experience about using cannabis into a drug, but in some countries cannabis becomes illegal, it's a challenge of the project that you will make, and of course you need a team of experts to realize all your dreams, so it's better to learn more about this concept so that it becomes relevant for cryptocurrency

Absolutely. I have been preparing myself for all of the inevitable bureaucratic obstacles. It will surely be challenging. And I am hoping this post will help me get some more amazing people on board!

Thank you for reading! I hope you take some time and download the daemon and maybe mine a few coins!

After this post, I see a new worker in my pool mining at about 700k hash/s! So exciting! I sent the address 100 coins, if it's anyone who has replied to this thread, thank you! I am diligently working towards a true ICO so please be patient and hopefully we'll make those coins worth some dollars and provide a valuable service all the while!

Can you share more details like - block reward, time, total supply?

Absolutely.

The current parameters are as follows:

Block reward: 15 THC
Target spacing: 30 seconds
Target timespan: 30 minutes
Halving interval 3153600 blocks (approximately 3 years)
Total supply: 94608000 THC

I will append these details to the original post along with some of my reasoning for the quick block and retarget times.

Thanks for checking out the project!

This is at least an honest description of the project. In any case, you have to start a small, but a team. In many countries, cannabis is banned. But, there are many projects here, with the same theme.

We have a pool operating already at stratum+tcp://162.208.9.65:3333 (also w/ ports 3032 and 3256 for variable stratum difficulty) but I appreciate your interest!

Are you interested in running another pool for us?


Thank you for checking us out! Yes, at this time we're a small team, but we are dedicated to making this work, and have already begun preparing a framework to handle all of the legal ramifications surrounding the cannabis industry. Feel free to download the daemon/wallet and mine a few coins! And again, thank you!

Also, if you were asking if you're required to join the pool to mine the coin, the answer is no, solo mining works fine, just make sure you use a legacy address starting with the letter "T" as your coinbase address. Thanks all!

You have skill very good and I think you a a good coder, but to make a success project, require too much thing than only code, or IT skill.
It require maketing skill, some skill to get attension of all people ... etc...
But you can take a look at other project to know how do they do it

Thank you, I appreciate that! I am just beginning the marketing/announcing, "getting the word out" portion of this project, which was mostly the point of this post. I also have the pre-ico details listed at http://www.iconeat.com/ico/thehashcoin if you want to check it out!

Thanks for reading and feel free to download the coin and jump in our pool or solo mine some coins while the difficulty is still low!

Any windows wallets compiled?

I have not personally compiled a wallet for windows yet, but if you download the source from github and follow the litecoin instructions for windows compilation you should be able to get it running.

If you want to give it a go and run into any problems email me @ bhuff25930@gmail.com and I will gladly help you any way I can.


Windows binaries are now available on the github page under Release v0.2!

Thank you for reading and checking us out!

Your Windows wallet doesn't appear to be complete - it is still branded as Litecoin.  Are you intending on putting your touches to it, at least your own logo, etc?

Yes, for sure. I noted that in the README, that artwork will be updated as soon as possible. The only logo that has been changed is the mined transaction logo. I know it's terribly unprofessional looking, but I couldn't wait to get the word out and try to get some people on the network. This will be the first place I post to when the artwork is updated, well, besides the github repo.

Thank you all for your support! What an amazing community.

Can you please confirm how may blocks for maturity? Thank you.

Edit: It appears to be 720 confirmations. Is that correct? If so, that is extremely high (and slow).

Oh boy, I must have forgot to push that update to the github repo.. it's supposed to be 360.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, it has been updated github, and my apologies!

Can someone upload compiled windows wallet for us non tech savvy guys. Thanks

I will do this today, this afternoon as soon as I have time.

I am working on building a VM for windows users right now, I will put the image on the github repo when I am finished.

Thank you for checking us out!

I will also be announcing an early adopters promo today so stay tuned!

Details have been added to this thread and an additional thread with more details.

Hello,
My wallet is not able to synchronize, stuck at 12 hrs?
Any other node apart from one provided?

Hmm.. unfortunately no, we only have the single node seeding the chain which has 2 public IP's. it should work using either of them, 162.208.9.51 & 162.208.9.65.. You should be able to synchronize with the network without issue...

Can you email me you thehashcoin.conf and your debug.log? I'll help you get on the network anyway I can

Saltpool was kind enough to provide an unofficial windows wallet on his discord channel.

you can find it at the link below:

https://discord.gg/ns6HJMh

I will have an official windows wallet on the github soon!

Wallet stuck at 44 hours

I had that problem and copied the blockchain from a working one and it reindexed fine. Let me know if you want me to create a bootstrap of the current chain and I will create a link to it so you can download it.

That would be great if you can, Thanks. been trying to sync for a few hours now stuck on block 13427

Damn guys, I'm sorry. I will be adding another seed node this weekend which will hopefully help remedy this issue. I will also add a crontab to my VPS to reboot it once a week to help keep it fresh, I feel that may be part of the problem.

pool down?

yes... ]: our wallet on saltpool is down right now.. And he's in  Australia so he's sleeping right now ]:

Feel free to join our NOMP pool at stratum+tcp://162.208.9.65:3333 in the meantime.

Sorry for the inconvenience guys!

https://162.208.9.65:8080/

website doesn't load

Hm.. try again for me? I can view it just fine from my home and work networks.

Are you mining with the address ScXBFEoyt8KYRZJSP9aWcZvELnxwwvj2u9?

I am not sure you will receive payout with this address as it is segwit, though segwit is fully deployed as far as I know NOMPs payment processor is not compatible with segwit. I will send that address some coins for your trouble, but you might want to edit your conf file to include addresstype=legacy

Changed address to one that starts with T. Thanks, yes website working now. Wallet still stuck at 13427

Damn. Okay, I am adding another seed node now. I will give you the IP when it's up and in sync.

Thanks

Okay, so, added new seed node at 192.243.103.250:421

It was able to successfully sync the chain immediately, hopefully you will be able to.
The github has been updated with the address hardcoded in to the source, so you can either reclone and compile it (which I would do eventually anyway so you have it) OR you can just add connect=192.243.103.250:421 to your conf file.
Also, I see that my pool started payouts to the S address you used initially, are you receiving them? If not, Obviously if you aren't in sync with the chain you aren't receiving them, regardless you will see them coming to the T address in the next hour or so.

Let me know if you're able to sync the chain!

stuck @ 13405 now. can you upload blockchain?

lolol damn itttttttttt.
Yes I can, give me a little bit, I'll add it to the github.

Ok thanks

Added a folder called bootstrap-blk18763 to the github, within is a bootstrap.dat as of block 18763, give it a shot.

It indexes the blocks fine but when it goes to process them it stalls out at 67% @block 13277

Did you delete the blocks/chainstate folders and their contents and place the bootstrap.dat in your data directory?

I'm sorry about this, we will get it sorted either way. If this doesn't work for you I will try uploading by actual blk.dat for you.

Also I still see headers being sent your way from the seed node..

Try deleting everything in your data directory except for your thehashcoin.conf, wallet.dat and the bootstrap.dat

 I did that still no go, it does index so it is loading from bootstrap but when it goes to process it stops at 67%. (should note this is a windows wallet) as well it renames the bootstrap.dat to bootstrap.dat.old

Damn it.. I will try uploading the blk0000.dat to the github for you to download and place in the blocks directory. I guess I will have to make a live boot of Windows 7 to play around with because unfortunately every pc in my house is running a linux distro.

If all else fails, would you be open to running a linux VM using VirtualBox and compiling a wallet within that? I know it's a pain in the ass, but I will stick with you through it.. I want to see you have a working wallet D:

I can try the blk0000.dat. not really proficient in linux

Okay blk.dat has been added in the same folder where the bootstrap was located on the github. I would remove all traces of the bootstrap from the datadir for this first go after adding the blk.dat to the blocks folder. Make sure you delete the current data in the blocks folder. Also added rev.dat (honestly not sure if you need both) .. Also, if you wanted to give using a linux VM a shot, I could walk you through step by step setting up an Ubuntu 16.04 image and getting the wallet compiled with probably less than a dozen commands.

Still a no go. got a meeting tonight but can try some other things tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Damn it man, I'm sorry. We will figure it out. I am going to start playing with a wallet on windows to try to pinpoint the issue. Also, could you email me your debug.log to bhuff25930@gmail.com?

Also, it appears saltpool is back in sync!

sent to your email, have a good night

Hmmm.. It appears you must still have some portion of the chain that's invalid somewhere on your system when you're trying to import the chain because I see invalid block errors in the debug.log, and every node I have tried to sync has done so without error. Perhaps you have data for an orphaned block somewhere on your system. Let me know when you're free to play with it again and I will help you figure it out.

Ya it's weird, I deleted everything kept a copy of my wallet.dat and reinstalled the wallet still won't sync up. Here are some errors near the end of the debug log.

I am creating a linux VM today with all required dependencies pre-installed and all the wallet binaries pre-compiled so that it will be plug and play for you windows folks, so even if your not proficient it will be very very simple. I will let you know when it is finished! And sorry again for the hassle

So long as you still have a copy of the wallet.dat you will be able to import it to the VM.

Also, can you look in you thehashcoin/src/consensus/consensus.h document within the source code for me? I fear you may have the coinbase maturity value still set at the old value which may be contributing to your problems. It should be set at 360.

Not sure where to find " thehashcoin/src/consensus/consensus.h document " i downloaded this wallet already compiled from saltpool.

Oh yeah duhhh sorry. I keep forgetting that you're using a precompiled binary. Okay well I am finishing the VM and instructions now so I will post here when I'm finished!

Great. Thanks

I am almost done!

Please bear with me, my internet is abhorrently slow right now ... >.<

its all good gonna be away for a few hours this afternoon

Okay well it will definitely be done and tested by the time you're back!

Just waiting for the git push to finish!

Have tested with success, though, so editing this to include directions as soon as it finishes pushing the virtual disk image to the github!

great job i like the honesty

Appreciate it! Thanks for reading, feel free to check us out! Ubuntu VM for windows users and instructions to be uploaded shortly! Unfortunately even though I dynamically allocated the required space for the VM's virtual disk image, it's a pretty large file and is taking an eternity to upload to the github... Sorry guys! >.<

Haven't forgotten about You Mikelorr, github just won't accept the VDI because it is so large I guess, so I am uploading it to drop box. I will post instructions for retrieval and use as soon as I can! I literally have been at this for so long lol >.>

No problem, Thank you for all your effort to get this going. I believe it will be a great project.

Thank you! I appreciate your patience and your enthusiasm. I have invited you to the archive which will contain the VDI for now until I can successfully put it on a more public forum. I will have the directions here following the successful upload!

I get an error trying to open image says

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine TheHashCoin-VM.

The virtual machine 'TheHashCoin-VM' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).  More details may be available in 'C:\Users\2\VirtualBox VMs\TheHashCoin-VM\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85cd948e-a71f-4289-281e-0ca7ad48cd89}

Hmmm... Damn it >.< ahah. How large is the .VDI after you extract it from the .zip archive? I knew that compressing it was going to be an issue.. especially with it being a disk image, where data integrity is critical..

If we can't get the VM up and running, I WILL actually run windows live boot and precompile and sync it in windows natively, I just really want to avoid that for now because man is it a pain in the balls haha.

Let me know how large the file is after unzipping it from the archive and then please try the instructions from the following link:

http://teckbase.blogspot.com/2015/05/oracle-virtualbox-error-0xc0000005.html

If it isn't the integrity of the data from decompression than it may just be too old of a version of virtualbox, or the settings may be incorrect.

Could you also include the values you set for RAM allocation for the VM? And try setting at least 2 processors threads in the VM's settings.

I swear we will get it one way or the other hahaha!

Does software require high ram to use? Does it have a virus?

No, it does not require high minimum system requirements at all.

And no, it does not have any viruses or trojans attached. All referenced files are open to the public and available for audit.

Also, is your windows distro 32 or 64bit?

I'm not having great luck with it on A box running windows natively either, so I will try live booting windows and recreating/testing the image that way before I try a true Windows native compilation. I will repost when the disk image has been reuploaded.

Okay, so, I am disregarding the VM route for now and I am instead opting for the more painful (but necessary) true windows cross compilation. When I am finished I will test with Windows 7 and then update the github repo with the binaries.

Thank you all for patience!

Okay, so, at long last all you Windows guys can check us out hassle free, as I have compiled the official TheHashCoin binaries for Windows! (x86/64 bit)
The 32 bit binaries for Windows will also be up shortly.

Please use the following link to download the first release of our official Windows binaries:

You can also find the precompiled binaries on our github page!

We have also added some temporary artwork to get rid of the litecoin logos/splashes, though these are not official yet.
Thank you all for your patience, especially you Mikelorr!

Great work man. Got your email. Wallet works perfect :) mining now, your perseverance and honesty will make this one of the best coins. 

Oh thank god ahaha! Woo! Thank you, it's guys like you that make this community thrive!

I'll keep everyone up to date here on any changes because some more are coming soon!

I compiled from your source win32-wallet successfully at last. With Qt 4.8.4. If try to compile with Qt5 it will be compiled but a buttons on Qt interface will not work. But with Qt 4 works perfectly. I can give a link on my compilation result if someone interested.

Thank you! Good to know. I'll be sure to include the Qt 4 dependencies when I compile the 32 bit binaries, just in case. I'm not sure if the fact that they won't work with Qt 5 is architecture specific, I will look into this.

Good luck! The project definitely deserves success. I've never seen a benefit for the coin right from the start. If everything works out with the blockchain and the presale, congratulations! Will invest safely!

Thank you so much! The blockchain is healthy and we've seen lots of new activity on the network recently so we are excited about the future! We still have a whole lot of work to do though, that is for sure. What did you mean when you said "I've never seen a benefit for the coin right from the start"?

Thank you for the well wishes, and we hope to have our coin on an exchange within the next 6 to 8 months!

Haha I love it! Let's get that hash rate up boys! [For developments sake (; ]

And thanks again for including us in your pool!

Glad to do it! Chain mines nicely! Do you guys have a discord channel?

Thanks! It's nice to hear that. We haven't deployed any of our experimental stuff yet, as it isn't finished and we want to see how these parameters scale the best we can. But it's nice to hear it's working well for you!

We will have a discord channel that will also be listed in the official documentation early this week, I have just been extremely busy (and today is my birthday actually so I'm a little wasted atm lol)

Thanks to all of you, together we can make this project successful and do something revolutionary in the process!

Hi DEV. When will the website and road map be released?

Hello!

There is a rough roadmap for the project available at https://iconeat.com/ico/TheHashCoin

As for the website, very soon, we should have it released (at least initially) within the next couple weeks.

We finished compiling 32 bit binaries this week, have had another mining pool pick us up (A pool run by the awesome devs over at INFOCoin) as well as our first official blockchain explorer (excluding the explorer built into the pool INFOCoin is running for us) AND our official discord channel, all of the details for these will be released tomorrow!

Thanks for checking us out, hope to see you on the network soon!  :)

How to compile 32-bit windows HashCoin wallet, using Windows and Msys shell.

1.) Read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0
and execute all points 1.1-2.7 scrupulously as it was described in the first message there

2.) Now we have our build system with Qt 5.3.2 in C:\Qt\5.3.2 directory.
But, as was mentioned above, TheHashCoin wallet does not work with Qt 5.3.2. It works with Qt 4.8.4. So, create C:\Qt\4.8.4 directory, download qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4.zip file, extract it and move all files and subdirectories from qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.4 directory to C:\Qt\4.8.4 directory.
Then go to C:\Qt\4.8.4 directory, create compile.bat file there with this contents


and execute it from a Windows command prompt. By doing this we will get a static build Qt 4.8.4 in C:\Qt\4.8.4 directory. Note that we compiled static Qt 4.8.4 build by using previously created Qt 5.3.2 build.

3.) Now extract thehashcoin-master.zip so the directory thehashcoin-master will appear in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\<YOUR_USERNAME> directory. Then run a Msys shell and execute there

cd thehashcoin-master

Thanks man!

I'll include this guide as an alternate build method in the official documentation.

I released the official 32 bit binaries but we added seed nodes so they are rebuilding as we speak. Then I have to rebuild the 64 bit binaries as well. Block explorer is up, so is discord channel, will create a new reply and update the original post when all is done!

Okay everyone, we have some news!

The official 32 bit binaries have been uploaded to the github under release v0.2 Please test them out and give us feedback on how they are working!

The 64 bit binaries and source code have been updated as well to include our most recent seed nodes. We are happy to announce that the folks over at INFOcoin are running a pool for us at hashncash.net (thanks guys!) and we have switched our NOMP pool address to stratum+tcp://192.243.103.250:3333. We are also happy to announce that we have a working (though still syncing) block explorer at http://162.208.9.65:3001

We also have an official discord channel where all are welcome to talk crypto, cannabis or for support! Please feel free to drop in and say hello!

https://discord.gg/NhCcEeE

All of the servers we have (seed nodes, pools, block explorer etc.) will all have domains associated with them shortly, we are just awaiting our logo to be finished before we kick our marketing/branding to the next level.

Thank you all and we hope to hear from you soon! We will have more updates coming so stay tuned!

Encrypted windows wallet (like I do all wallets) now there is no option that I have found to unlock it :(

Hmmm.. Is this 32 or 64 bit windows? And this is only with the QT wallet right? Can you try downloading thehashcoind and thehashcoin-cli, running thehashcoind and manually unlocking with the CLI?

Also when you say "unlock" do you mean decrypt it permanently or do you mean unlock it temporarily to send funds?

Let me know what goes on, we'll get it straightened out!

64 bit running on a vps since only 32bit on my comp & the qt didn't work with 32bit.
Unlock as to put in password to unlock wallet for sending or staking etc
There is no option under settings to unlock as usual with most other wallets.

You tried the most recently released 32 bit binaries and the qt executable didn't work?
And I can unlock in from the menu in a qt wallet on a linux distro, and have successfully done it on a native 64 bit window distro, sorry about this, we only just got the 32 bit binaries compiled so we appreciate your feed back. Wanna jump over to our discord and I can help you out a little better? https://discord.gg/NhCcEeE

I haven't seen any recent activity on the official 32 bit qt binaries, so if you didn't try them, you can find them here:

https://github.com/apt-get-schwifty/thehashcoin/releases

Happy to announce 32 bit wallets have been tested and are working!

For anyone encrypting a wallet, note that you will be prompted to unlock the wallet when sending funds or when performing any other action that requires unlocking.

from time to time it is indeed marijuana for treatment, but there are people who use it for things that are not true. This platform is here to revolutionize medical marijuana, it's great and I really agree.
for this platform, how is the development now? Which partner is involved?

Hello!
Thank you for your reply! We are still very early in the development process, but have working seed nodes, pools, multi-platform wallet and block explorers working. We are waiting on our logo to ramp up marketing/social outreach and to build the website The whitepaper will be available soon as it is still a work in progress. We are a small grass roots movement but we are growing. Thanks for checking us out, feel free to download a wallet and send me an address and I'll send some coins your way!

apt-getschwifty  what country do you represent???
I support this project, but just for the sake of medicine, 500 Mh/s already working in the pool.

I am from the United States, but this project has no borders of any kind. I appreciate your support! We intend on using a portion of the token allocation for charitable organizations that are dedicated to researching the medicinal properties of the various native compounds of the cannabis plant. Specifics and details will be found in our white-paper and released when we have a clearer idea of when we can get listed!

Saw you joined the discord channel too, thanks for being a part of our small (but growing) community.  :)

Thank you again for your support! Hopefully together we can all do something great!

well, waiting for news and development...

there's plenty yet to come, trust me. We are still waiting for our official logo to be finished before building the website and other promotional events, and we are still a very small team (we all have way too much to do and too few of us to do it) and unfortunately aren't in a place where we can drop our everyday lives to focus solely on the project. We do hope to be there eventually, are all extremely passionate and do put every spare ounce of time we have into the project and do have some new members being added to the team so hopefully we will be able to keep everyone more consistently updated in the future!

Our next technical developments will be expanding multi-platform support/porting the code to more abstract platforms (special case binaries for less common processor architectures), we are shooting to have online/android wallet support shortly after our logo is finished.

Seems explorer is down.

Sorry about that, the company that hosts the VPS was doing maintenance. It's back up [:

It is a bit slow to update, however, I need to tweak the update intervals in crontab/timeouts in the settings.

Block explorer has been modified to run on port 80 in preparation for domain registration. This means it can be accessed using just http://162.208.9.51

Website/android wallet/white-paper all in the works everyone!

Great work guys. Keep up the good work

Appreciate your enthusiasm Mikelorr! As far as I'm concerned you're a part of the original squad here, sticking through it with me while I got the windows build working. Are you still mining at saltpool?

Yes i am. throwing  1.2 GH/s at it.

Lol. sounds awesome man. can't wait to see it

Have you joined the discord channel Mikelorr?

Come on over,  all are welcome and we don't bite!

https://discord.gg/NhCcEeE

Thanks for the invite, Will check it out for sure.

Proof of Stake coming soon!

Russian translation is here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025419.msg45469488#msg45469488

Yes we are still actively developing! The current main chain is mostly deactivated for now because we are adding proof of stake, but the test proof of stake build is up for linux @ https://github.com/TheHashCoin-project/TheHashCoin! We are just fixing some stuff for the windows executables before we announce the main chain is back up and running, that's why I haven't posted the new git link here.

Check out our discord channel to stay tuned!

The Hempcoin has the name THC and cannabis relation also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=506320.0
Funny coincidence  ;D

Yes we noticed this, and have decided that the new release will no longer have THC for the ticker, but rather will instead have CBD for the ticker (for those who don't know, CBD is the 2nd most prevalent and more medicinal cannabinoid found in cannabis).

We just received the mockup for our logo today and have been very busy, we will have news of the new release on here soon! Probably will migrate this thread to a new one as well.

Thanks all! [:
