filthy little hobbitses!

My Precious !

Rabbitses!

Mining some!

Let's gooo

Let´s mining my precious

Scrypt or cpu?

What the heck - I am getting "Worker is temporarily banned"

Just getting rejects :p

RPC port?

Chrome is discarding the wallet file in Windows as malware ?

pool: no server found


take IE

Unable to download wallet, says is malware

Nodes and RPC?

is this the correct source?

https://github.com/hobbitcoin-team/hobbitcoin

edit:  nvm, found this link under resources on your site too so I'm assuming it's legit.

Hobbits will check why browser thinks wallet is malware.  Code is in github, a fork of Litecoin 0.8.6.2.  

Also. mining pool issue is fixed now with disconnects.  Hobbits are SORRY about that

virus coin.. .get it while you can folks

perhaps upload it somewhere decent like mega or gdrive??

you don't need nodes and you can use any RPC port you want..  4444 or whatever.. just use the same for miner as in conf file

as example for solomining

stratum timed out after the first blocks. gg

Surprisingly clean, not even the normal false positives for a QT

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1abf635e5857d07d2022b54b9954dc39cc3e1ec85f55b81b6bae6ac47c090708/analysis/1391014898/

zip

why the need for installer?

wts 51000 hobbits  ;)

Mining Pool: http://pool.hobbit.co.in/

Doesn't work, Cgminer won't start.

 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hobbit.co.in:3334 -u Woker.NAme -p Password



works the first 2 min, now stratum_recv_line failed

Copy this. Same with Cudaminer.

that pool want to mine it before make it work, obv scam

now everything fine.

guiminer connect to: stratum.hobbit.co.in     3334

How exactly does one solo mine with Cgminer? I've only ever used pools.

run your wallet as server


connect to your wallet with miner (127.0.0.1:4444)

pool not working ?

yes. 30 sec ago :(

Please explain this further. Total solo noob here, no clue what to do.

Doesn't work.

same as pool, but connect to your wallet after add this to your conf

Please someone set up another pool

still not working here

stupid pool, i lost the 0.01 diff, fuck

in the .bat file instead of that stratum blabla.com:23423  url for pool you use   http://127.0.0.1:4444  and the same password and username that you use in the .conf file in your appdata

restart the client once you have saved the  hobbitcoin.conf  file

Meh, thanks but this still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Like I said: solo noob. I don't know what exact code to put into conf file, or how to find user/pass, or how to use with the wallet/cgminer.

okay, thats what guiminer do :)

Switching to solo, can't handle this pool nonsense atm.

What is going  with this shit pool http://pool.hobbit.co.in ?

how you mine on pools, if you didn't know that Oo

Hobbits put the windows download on box.com so chrome windows users shouldn't get blocked anymore by chrome when they download.  Also, working on the pool issues

What a port for solo? any nodes?

sort it out , only disconnects and disconnects

Can you just upload the hobbitcoin-qt.exe  file and not a install file.

hobbitcoin-qt-0.8.6.2_win32_setup.exe

too late diff is 0.5

real deal is with diff 0.01 lol

 ;)

its amazing, that only the new reg user got no connection and there are old miners active all the time  :o


oh pool works now again.

30 seconds later


oh pool broken...

yeah smell fishy, pool want to mine all the coin until diff 1, scam

We need GANDALF here....

a working pool would be nice :)

hmmm ip change, my worker connect
17 sec later --> timed out


fuck this coin.


<-- going to mordor!

Just solo'd my 3rd 51K block ;D

Got solo mining working! (I think). Right when cgminer started it found 2 blocks, but hasn't found any more in a few minutes. Normal?

grey or white one? let us create a gandalf coin to send this coin on a long travel!

How many HBCs until I can buy a precious?

And whenever users are complaining about pool disconnect  , pool starts working again . Call all the Elves

An advice - DO NOT EVER MINE A COIN ANNOUNCED IN A SELF-MODERATED THREAD.

How to mine it?
my config
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9755
server=1

and .bat config
del scrypt*.bin
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9755 -u username -p x --auto-fan --thread-concurrency 23500 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 850 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 -w 256 -I 14 -g 2

what's wrong?

Gandolf is working on the pool.  Someone asked for a zip of just the windows qt exe (and dependencies).  Here it is

https://app.box.com/s/t5w13f1w2v2p85kmqkn6

restart the  client

gandalf is swimming in a pool

what next!!!!!

I guess the port is 4444 not 9755?

Someone had posted a different ip/port a bit back:


What should the ip/port be set to?

both ports not working for me

insert my 2 cent here

Doesnt matter as long as its the same in your .conf file as it is in your .bat file.

Just pick a port > 1024

just use 4444 in conf file and in miner..

cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:4444 -u username -p password

Found some blocks in solo. Why was the first one 51,000 and the others only 1000?

first post explains there are random super blocks

There's a random chance to get up to 50000 extra Hobbitses (default value 1000 Hobbitses). See the GetBlockValue function (https://github.com/hobbitcoin-team/hobbitcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1077-L1114).

not working

Ahh, I see.

have you restarted the client after editing the roaming file?

yes, but not working

Question: does wallet client have to be open & running while solo mining with cgminer?

AdamT after you create the hobbitcoin.conf file, run the qt client from the command line like: hobbitcoin-qt.exe -server

To answer your question, yes the client needs to be running.

Yes

Finally connect to the pool, but too late, fuck

What does this mean in cgminer output? no suitable long-poll found found for http://127.0.0.1:4444

Then following that lines are slowly appearing: new block detected on network

Seems to be working?

Don't worry about it, looks like you are solo mining fine!

@HobbitMaster: Apologies for tainting the thread, but I'm anxious to know: are you receiving my messages? If you're not interested, a simple 'Meh.' would suffice ;)

Cgminer output:

Found block for pool 0!

then next line

Rejected 021d6b69 Diff 31K/16384 BLOCK! GPU 1

Why rejected?

You have to be first to get an accepted block.

Already 100k in coins in about 30mins  8)

Bitch.

@HobbitMaster fyi Mac client won't run, 10.9.1 Mavericks.

Trade those preciouses :D

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=438993.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=438993.new#new)

Pool or solo?

A proud day in the Shire

Yep, that's the "FUN"  of solomining

Solo

Hobbits from the Mac OSX realm (Mavericks 10.9.1) - we're working on the issues with the wallet, thanks for the heads up!

Just got on and found a 51k block in under 45 seconds. ;D

Sneaky hobbitses. 1 block and it is a reject precious.  :(

try changing your scan-time to 0 and expiry 0

What's the Cgminer code for that?

Diff 1.

yup :-[

what the hell is wrong with your marketing department????

'One Coin to rule them all!!! '

seriously?

mining now ty :p

Gave up on solo mining, found 3 blocks, all rejected  :(

@Hobbit.co.in Pool owner, pls remove that terribly annoying captcha to login.

Pools not working?

Most people don't input the correct setting to solo mine.  Google why you are getting so many rejects solo mining.

ok lets have some fun mining :)

Did someone scan the windows wallet?

It's safe.

Btw, selling 85k coins. PM me

Is it not a little too early for selling? Those coins are worth nothing... if you wait a few days and difficulty rises then your coins will be much more expensive. Look at CASH coin, the first day i was able to mine 1000 CASH, now they are trading at 0.00070000 so that was 0.70BTC in one day with 3MH/s installation.

COME ON wtf on that pool up and down?!

shit pool

Pool is jacked.

Yeah I'm just mining to pool primarily and then have failover set to my solo...probably should do it the other way around tbh.

the pool is working now

but... we need other pools

Terrible start, hobbits are not happy, pool again down, how difficult is it to setup a pool that works???

Switched back to solo...

thist pool is not quite good, ........

In the pool for about an hour now... all unconfirmed. Shouldn't the transactions start confirming pretty quick?


---edit nevermind, as soon as i finished that post i got my first confirm  :D

It takes a while before it gets confirmed.

BTW this pool is SHIT, we need a new one.

And now live pool

Why would you pool mine anyways right now?  Just found another 51k block soloing.  And I got 700 hash on one rig and 400 on the other.   Two cards.  Nothing serious at all.

If you can explain how i can solo mine , please do. I have a linux server

Please support the request to add Hobbits to coinedup

Hi,

here is another pool for you_

http://pool-x.spdns.org/

Hope mine will work better ;-)

Defi

Haven't got the confirmation e-mail. Possible you could check that out?

Hmm - E-Mail confirmations are disabled, and mailing system should be working...
Nothing in your SPAM Folder?

I am also having the same problem is not in your inbox or in your spam folder. Please check Defi

E-mail confirmations are required for editing your details, changing your password, and withdrawals

So I guess its needed? No I haven't got anything in my spamfolder either.

I'm on it... As far as I can see you both use hotmail... Think they block the domain...

Removes the need for confirmation by e-mail until you can fix the error.

Can you check it again?
I Created a hotmail adress for testing and recieved the mail now (but in SPAM FOlder)

I didn't receive any confirmation mail, i was just able to login without any problems....

Doing well solo'ing too, found 3x 51k blocks and a handful of 1000s with 3400 k/hash.

Pool is running stable now FYI (appears to be anyway).

Selling 85k, pm me your offers

No confirmation email received, needed to edit details at http://pool-x.spdns.org

Disabled the confirmations completly... You can now change your account details...
Sorry for the inconvenience!

No worries, thanks for your quick help.

Difficulty level is getting a little too high...

Network Hashrate rising little fast  :-X

Got one block from solo mining at start, nothing since then. Seems like im out hehe.

Anyone still mining this? Thread seems dead.

Mining at 1000%  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Infact bad timing of the owner, when you release your coin then make sure that you're at least 8 hours or so available on the first day... but look, i'm not worried, when you check Cagecoin... it is even trading on coinedup...


Can someone make a promotion movie like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkAtk6x1gNk


But then using the hobbits and the hobbitcoin of course...

The two pools more than 10 minutes without generating a block, weird or I so wrong?

my precious!

 ;Dgonna mine some

I got two 51,000 blocks solo and now in the pool. I'll hang out with the hobbits for a bit before I head back up to the Klondike.

Aight, gonna hang in the Shire a bit longer on the solo tip.

Planning to do the same. Infact a was at Klondike, then moved over to CASHcoin and now Hobbits and moved half of my hash back to CASH because the difficulty of Hobbits went a little too high. I really want to arrange somekind of conf call with the owner to discuss the steps to make this coin successful.

20,000 is enough for me on to the next coins.

Any chance of getting a non-installer version of the wallet? Just a plain executable would be great. I know making installers is lots of fun, but... ;)

I've installed the wallet in a VM, but I like to have them portable so I can just copy them across machines when needed.

Leave Dwarfs and hobbits..Smaug want's all the coins for himself!

Where are the hobbits? Let's mining too hobbits

I tried compiling this, why was the Makefile removed from src/leveldb?
In case anyone else had trouble with this, I was able to get compile hobbitcoin after I copied the Makefile from https://code.google.com/p/leveldb/source/browse/Makefile

taties? what's taties masta?

Getting to HBC 200k. What do you think the future of this coin? I believe in her potential since I am a fan of Lord of the Rings and Hobbits.

It's still to early to tell but, the potential is there we just need to promote it!

I'm HOLDING on to my HBC a couple more adopters and who knows where this coin can go.

I´m holding too. Minimum 3 months for dumping

I think we can already see some exchanges so that more people will be joining this coin with a bright future ahead. I think Coinex, BTER or Cryptsy would be a good raised for HBC.

I might do a giveaway in an attempt to bring on more adopters.

I just need more coin before I can do that!

Yes this can be wise.. or you can loose everything. I am holding to it too...  good name.. much potential.

Please add

We need some more activity here. I don't know just talk about your kids or so... :) but still, some actions would be nice:)

Started mining it for a little while :D

I have mined hard, I have bought the 1kk being 400k and 600k icarus mined. My goal is 5kk the beginning and kept for about 3 months or if the price trigger sell a bit and leave the rest stored for 1 year or more.

I think we need to create a strategy to promote HBC. I think we could do some charity or something. Would be a cool media DUKE was a good example that helped the Jamaican Bobsled team go to Russia in the Winter Olympics. To a considerable willing to do to get HBC to the Top grant.

Pool is in trouble again?

Hobbits!

We have some marketing work in progress, going to be releasing some videos that will get attention of the community and beyond in the next couple of days.  Once they are out we'll post the information to share.  As always, thoughts and ideas from the realm are super appreciated and helpful

HobbitMaster

I think it would be a great step if we could get into an exchange BTER example, Cryptsy, Coinedup or Coinex. Could enable it to us Gandalf?

i suggest coinmarket.io, FTL transaction

Dear Hobbits,

The journey will be long and hard. But we will reach the moons of Mordor. One coin to rule them all.

Hobbits- please help asking Coinedup to add our coin to their exchange.  There is a petition going at the following link, just add your comment:

http://www.reddit.com/r/CoinedUp/comments/1whs84/please_add_hobbits/ (http://www.reddit.com/r/CoinedUp/comments/1whs84/please_add_hobbits/)

Answer awaiting their response now.

This coin out of all the others seems like a lot of fun.  The bonus blocks and the characters behind the coins name are very entertaining!

Make sure to upvote too! Only 4 upvotes, it needs a lot more.

How about coinmarket.io ?

thanks, before your hint, I did not manage to compile from the source and I gave up.
Then I copied this Makefile from another coin and I was able to compile the wallet.

@dev : please update the source so the wallet can be compiled directly.

Please support Hobbit to be added on below exchange:


https://crycurex.com/

How long is it supposed to take to confirm coins???  I thought it was supposed to be fast.  At the pool http://pool.hobbit.co.in/ I have a bunch of unconfirmed coins... been mining 2 hours and nothing has confirmed yet.  Anyone else have experience with this?

Nevermind, first confirms just started going through!

Need a new coin graphic/logo. Current one is not good IMO.

I LOLed.

https://i.imgur.com/n4xqJ8J.gif

Truth.

Have to be careful of copyrights and such -- the Estate of JRR Tolkien has a lot of Lawyers, Guns, and Money and loves to use them.

Cheers! I'm in the pool.





Oh and heere is my wallet

7im2jhMQmFodLfymKXEwein4gJw5L8ram9

need moar hobbits

The people who negotiated with me if they want to leave a message as was the negotiation am grateful.

My reputation post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441365.new#new

There is already a HobbitFundation? Otherwise someone in order to play this project? I think we should focus on dissemination of the coin, looking for a change and some social projects.

HobbitMaster pronunciate about case.

This must be the new logo !

https://i.imgur.com/bgOWV7k.jpg

I've set up a p2pool up earlier (patch (http://hobbitcoin.p2p.0x0a.nl:44444/static/p2pool.hobbitcoin.patch)) at http://hobbitcoin.p2p.0x0a.nl:44444 - you're welcome to shuffle your hairy feet here!  :)

We just put in the request

Hobbitdev- We just uploaded it to github.  It should be generated automatically from the make- all the Makefile(s) of the project are .gitignored but hopefully having this one there helps people build themselves.

so in reality, is there anything we need to worry about for using the hobbit characters from a legal standpoint?

"However the word "Hobbit" is a trademark owned by the Tolkien estate."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbit


Basically, the same deal as with CoinyeCoin and the Tolkien estate does tend to act the same way.

Yeah... It's probably not worth worrying about.  The coin is in it's infancy and it can only grow from here!

If the tolkien guys come after you and they wont accept some small amount as license just call it precious coin or the precious or something.

Let´s go guys...

Maybe you can "pimp" the first posting on this thread. The source code is missing, you have a block explorer, you have 3 pools + a p2pool, there is a Subreddit, you are on twitter... All this information belongs in the announcement I think....

Nice idea Hobbit- all set

pool.hobbit.co.in doesn't work!  :(

it isn't isn't

sorry for mistake
pool works again

WTS 480k, PM PLEASE

Difficulty has been moving higher little by little... not too bad.

is it still profitable to solo mine with 1.4 kh/s?

Truth currency will gradually growing. Let it go. Soon we will see the stratosphere and perhaps even the end of the year we see the moon. Actually what would be a value to the moon? 1000 satoshis?

Always compare it to other coins... infact this one is a little special with the block rewards, but i would say look at BIL/LOT similar structure. So i believe a 50 satoshis per coin. Then i will be very happy. Mine something like 500K in less then one day, so that will give me nice amounth of BTCs :)

But in a few days the difficulty will increase and undermine this coin will be more difficult and the value tends to rise correct? Also will be the time that the block plus the bonus reward will halve then I think at least 150 satoshis reaches soon. I'm saving 1KK for 150 satoshis and 1KK for 300 satoshis.

Guys what about copyright issue? How can you will deal with it? If the copywright owner contact to exchanges, it stops.

No Problems in the Shire.  All is good.

Yes Camilio mining HBC with 1400khashes you gain ~30000 HBC per day

thanky you! Then i put somr Hashes to the shire



I dont think that 'Hobbit' is a trademark or has any copyright.
In Germany we have biscuits called 'Hobbits' and the company hasn't Bern sued till this day :)

Looking at the windows wallet it looks like a setup.exe. I think most people including myself would prefer a zip file.

exe's are just a another layer where a malicious person can do stuff which is why nobody uses them for wallets.

exchange for this?

I'm newbie, can any1 open exchange threads?

apparently hobbit is listed here

https://freshmarket.co.in

Let´s go guys, sell and buy in freshmarket. I´m selling 50k for testing.

Let's give it up in freshmarket hobbitses. My order is already there.

You know what to do: https://freshmarket.co.in/index.php?page=trade&market=133

Much love for this Hobbitses!

Buy/sell thread is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=438993.0

And what's your rate? Would be much easier to say it here so people wouldnt have to send useless PM's.

Not a lot of people have hobbits for sale, so have to post here as well.

Freshmarket is down??

this coin is such a gem :D
btw about how much hobbits you can mine now per day with 1mhs?

Any updates from devs on this coin? Thread is awfully quiet.

hey guys about how much hobbits you can mine now per day with 1mhs?

around 20 - 30k

Hobbitcoin has been added at Coin-Swap.net (https://coin-swap.net)

Get started trading!

Hobbits!

Our dev team of Frodo and Gandalf have been busy making videos and reaching out to the exchanges to get us listed.  Many thanks to the folks at coin-swap and freshmarket for picking up HBC.  We have an amazing network of miners and it is taking off after just a couple of days in existence.

You can trade your coins on the following exchanges (although most people we have talked to are just holding right now):

https://coin-swap.net/

https://freshmarket.co.in

Also please show your support to cryptsy for getting us listed (https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/74977)

If you haven't seen our latest video, here is a link: http://youtu.be/uWuun8g5UJc

Let us know if there is anything else you think of to help drive this coin beyond all the others.  We've gotten some great feedback and ideas that we've been running with.

Small article for you guys :)

Donations welcome, not required, to 7hkga7x1ng1xyH2bcV2rTHikUXZ8MUVK5X

Now that difficulty has dropped a little, i'm back on Hobbits.

Freshmarket.co.in is down??

Ok, besides having an awesome name, what is special about Hobbitcoin?

Say beyond the legal name, has a beautiful community that is besides the few still showing very quiet. We have a good network with 200mhs. For a coin with less than a week of existence I think is good. Join us and be happy over a Hobbit

Sorry if this has been asked but who is the guy on the coin itself? Looks very middle age like a saint/pope or something.

Someone needs to design a decent coin avatar. I mean seriously it's hobbit coin and deserves a decent picture to represent itself. Maybe a small animated/web2.0 hobbit village or a adventuring hobbit.

Just needs a facelift and a bit of marketing IMO.  

You guys changed something in http://pool.hobbit.co.in
and now the capthca code was with numbers now is words, and I tried few times all I got is

 Token expired, please try again Tokens are used to help us mitigate attacks; Simply try again to continue

so I tried but the same..

I am sure we can borrow one of these and edit them to our wish..

Good job

Seems the first one is the didn't started so far Goblin coin  :)

 :'( Little disappointed... i mine this coin, because of the nice name, but we are dropping below dif. 1 and nobody from dev is saying something, i hope he is serious about his coin, and don't let other people waste money on him.

freshmarket is down with all my coins ;/ I hope its just a glitch

Come on guys. Freshmarket had more problems here in the forum has already explaining how to recover their currencies. I've got my who were there. We will continue our journey we can not give up at the first difficulty. Hobbits are strong by nature. Come on I want to see this excitement and not discouraged.

AMEN!

yeah too quiet, dev still alive?

+1

I think the Devs were captured by trolls.

coin is dead...don't waste your time...move to another coin..I wasted 2 days hash power on this scamcoin...ugghh!!!

Maybe it's like a Peter Jackson movie and we'll see more out of the devs in one year

 :'( How is it possible that dev didn't login for 5 days...come on. As a person that launch a coin you want it to be successful, no? Yes it was trading on a market, but i'm sure that dev didn't sold their coins, it has cost his more money to startup a coin then what he could have received... :( maybe i will mine it one full day, to add plenty of coins, and who knows...

So is there somewhere I can exchange 30000 hobbits ?

There are 2 options here:

a. this coin is dead from the start (in less than 2 weeks)
b. because the coin has no premine (or has it), developers are quietly mining it before a "relaunch".

Hobbitcoin is a good name for a coin, and may succeed with the fans of "Middle Earth", but I wouldn't invest more than 1 day of hashing power on it.

At the current 0.4  difficulty, if to rent 10 MHs of scrypt rigs you can get about 3-4 millions of it in a day (if not more), that would cost about 0.15 BTC for the rent.

But, Is it worth it?

https://coin-swap.net/trade/publickey/nTMz8nLe

You pay: 0.07870105 (BTC)
You get: 790,000 (HBC)

Hello; anyone alive here?
I rarely find a coin I can mine more than 2.5 mil a day with my 1400kh/s lol after weeks.
Any dev news?
I think I'll stack up few millions more and wait a bit :D

I feel dumb for having mined this coin at launch. Dev's Mia, thread dead. Silly hobbits.

fucking scamming assholes who dev this shitty fucking coin...like to get my hands around your fucking neck assholes...

Well, dev is my friend and a just have visited him. It is true that hobbit coin is not premined so dev is mining coin at this moment using situation that you are all panicking a making difficult low!

Why is your friend not on bitcointalk for 2 weeks... this is not how you support your miners, how do he think to make a good coin when he is infact pre-mining in silence, and let everybody think that his coin is dead.

He said that he has a lot of job at his real world office and offered me to take the hobbit coin community if I want. What do you guys think  about it, should I accept, I don't know what my job with that coin will be?!?!?

You have nothing to lose.... at the moment it is worthless... the question is:

1. Do you have time to spend every day 2 or 3 hours
2. Do you have technical knowhow?
3. Will you do this all by yourself? Start created a team around yourself, yeap that will cost $$$$ or Hobbitcoins :)
4. How good are you in marketing?

Ok, let me answer  you!

1. I have the will of a normal person to do what I can, I know and have to do! I have more than 2 or 3 hours daily, so number 1. is PASS by me!
2. Technical know how!?!? I started with computers at age of 15 ( I have 38 at this moment), Commodore 64, Amiga 500, PCs. I was working some programms in "basic", "symons basic",  (comodore 64)... All this about coins I understand how it works but I can't learn how to make my coin ( I don't know c, c+, c++, c+++...). Number 2 is FAILED by me but if there are someone in community with a knowledge he can help!!!!!
3. Yes, I can do it by myself with help of community. I don't know why do you need someone to do it alone, off course I will need a help! I have some Hobbitcoins and bitcoins to invest but not to much! 10% of all my coins I can invest!!
4. Good in communication, never d marketing but considering it very easy,  have some corespondents with BigVern so maybe I could have some help of him, I dont know!

So, that is me.,,

Interesting.... lets start Hobbit back to live....start people know about you....

This is a great coin, unbelievable, mining it for a few hours and already have 5M coins, now if nothing happens, no pickup with the new developer/owner then i lost a few hours mining, if something will happen then i mine a lot of coins and it didn't cost me anything. Anyone else want to join?

Anyway, i already contacted a few exchange to get Hobbitcoin listed, maybe they need to rename the coin and call it Humancoin or something like that...

Mining pool http://pool.hobbit.co.in is not displaying the correct amount of coins that you can mine during a day, it looks like it is ignoring the +50000 coins blocks, we are mining a lot more... can someone have a look at it, as this will improve sentiment for new miners, as now it looks like you only mine a few coins, but in fact my mine x20 times more.

Hi Placebo

Which place have you asked to add HBC ?

Thanks

https://www.cryptorush.in/

Why cryptorush.in, at the moment we need to be realistic, we cannot go to cryptsy, coinedup or coinmarket.io, they will never accept Hobbitcoin at this stage. cryptorush.in is a site that allow smaller coins to have the possibility to grow. I've mine it for 12 hours or so, and i have 7M coins, so the estimate in the miningpool is not correct, maybe that is another reason why we should put some more effort in this coin. I was already very pleased to see that the guy that will now look after the community is also mining, so that is a good start. I don't expect a lot from Hobbitcoin in the first weeks, and most likely when it hit a exchange a few people will just sell their coins because they want money.

Crypto Rush usually asks .25 btc fee. You mean they could add HBC anyway ?

I'm waiting for his response...

By the way I think Crypto Rush is a good one

If someone create a faucet for Hobbit then i'm willing to put 1,000,000 Hobbitcoins in it, to start getting this one back on the rails.

I have also contacted cryptorush 12 hours ago and still no response!

Do you think the dev is up to .25 btc fee ?

The dev has gone for good! This is community coin now and we must help it to conquer the world!

so what is gonna be the purpose of this coin since dev has given up ?

We don't need dev, we are all devs now! First we all have to contact cryptorush to ask him to put hobbit coin into it. Placebo and I did that yesterday, we need all of you to do that! We have to implement hobbit coin into cryptorush's owner in head!

Ok, I got answer from cryptorush, I have to fill this form on his site https://www.cryptorush.in/index.php?p=list-your-coin
as you can see we have to pay 0.25 BTC for it! Can we collect that much?

that's the point ;)

What i want to see here, is a nice plan. I mine it two days ago for a few hours and i had something like 8M coins :)


Drdejanm needs to create a new post, we need to relaunch Hobbit (meaning promote it as a new launch, but don't change anything so that people keep their coins as some of them were here from the beginning) , i don't mine to pay 0.25BTC to get listed, but i first want to see some nice ideas, some promotion so that we can move this one.

you mean a new launch with 8 % premine ? ;)

Nope, no new launch, something similar like Stablecoin and Kitthehcoin. Both originele developers went away and another person took over the coin. People that have mine the coin put their hashrate on this coin, so a new launch will not be fair to a few miners that Hobbitcoin still have/had.

I agree with a placebo!

so what is the goal : one shot pump and dump or long term usefulness ?

I'm not in for a pump & dump story, of course those will happen for sure. But not here to mine 500M Hobbit coins, put it on the market, make 5BTC and move away...

I really want to see a merchandise store (website :)) where you can buy, amazon gift cards, etc using Hobbit coins. As i said, add my skype, lets check with a few people that are interested, lets talk with the owner, lets see what he got to say. I notice that the friend of the owner is mining himself, so good start, putting your elelctricity on your own (or friend) coin is a sign of trust.

sounds good

Donation Address: 7XspqbegjsYTVdnHH1iz81WM7ZgYBpYKYZ

Because this coin is not pre-mine i would like to setup a donation address, those coins can be used to pay people that want to develop applications for Hobbitcoin, so be free to donate some of your coins to : 7XspqbegjsYTVdnHH1iz81WM7ZgYBpYKYZ

So are you now taking over the coin?

see

it's absolutely sad that a coin with such a good name is abandoned so soon.
I say we take over, design a new coin with Frodo on the front and get it to an exchange.

Like this:

http://www.collecttolkien.com/images/Coins/Coins%20LOTR%20NZ%20Gold%20Proof%20Premier%20$10%20Frodo.jpg

This coin could be the best coin of the year.... One coin to rule them all.

drdejanm is a friend of the owner, maybe talk to him... i agree, why waste this coin, it can be something nice...

you mean a relaunch right? because a fork won't work, would be just a huge premine launch

Well he is offered to do so, and i am willing to help out.

No not forking. Relaunching it. I am willing to put effort in this to make it work. I have all connections to make this work.
But i need to be sure what the status of this coin is.

With a relaunch it means that all people lost their coins? This is also not really nice for the people that mine this for one month... no?

Not with the blockchain intact, everyone keeps their coins.
There are 39555 block solved now. That is not that much. 

you must relaunch completely and destroy the old coins, or there will be a huge dump

mmm, ok, as i find it very important (certainly for a lot of the low hashrate people that were mining Hobbitcoin) that they at least have some coins. If you need help when you take over the coin, please let me know. I can do some promotions via twitter, have a nice number of followers.

I don't think there are a lot of big miners at Hobbitcoin :D so the dump will not be that big :)

It's not too mined. A dump will Always occur no matter what when you hit an exchange.
I think implementing KGW and forking it might the best thing to do when doing a relaunch.
Maybe Original creator want to give the coin to us?

Did Kittehcoin destroy all the coins with the relaunch? I don't think so, and nobody dumped the coins, infact the value of the coin rises like crazy, correct, or am i wrong?

Check with that guy.... what do you think about the structure? will you change that, or keep it?

Well yes, but it was a pump and dump scheme.  
But i really like this coin, i hope it's more then just another pump and dump. It's what we make it.

Sure we could just relaunch a new coin with the same name on a new blockchain. But that is not really re-launching it when the Original just keep on existing. It's like the Pandacoin ... were there are 3 different versions all alive.

I would not change the structure... that would be like changing the gamerules during gameplay. It should stay intact.
But it is like Amph says , when people are sitting on a lot of HBC, you know it will be dumped.  But since there is no price at all right now i think it does not matter.

Someone is listening here :D

Well you know this is going to happen when people are reading up...   ::)

Nice to see someone putting a lot of power in the coin . Maybe we should keep a little quiet for now ;)

Indeed but that is a good thing :)

SSSSSHHH :D just checking how many i would mine. Leaving pool in 10 min :)

 ;D But i believe you were already several times on Hobbit, no?

Edit : Dutch or Flamish?

Well no reason to leave really.

First we have to make contact to the person who knows the dev, i already send him a PM.
It would be good to implement something like a gravity well so we know it will be one dump from the people owning the coin now, and after that it will not be abused by multipools.

No never been before! Just registered. Dutchie :)

Volgens mij is 50% hier Nederlands.

Translated for people wondering: I think 50% is Dutch here.

Lots of dutchies, but the rates for electricity are skyhigh here :x In 10 / 15 min i made 365,427.232247 coins

Normal hé, met azo een installatie :D

The owner from Xivra is also dutch... really trying to achieve something nice with his coin, but as you all know when coins are moving lower the community is complaining :) With Klondike coin the same, we are now discussing a fork, is it needed? mmm, maybe, but because the coin price is moving lower (like a lot of the coins) community is not happy and want changes.

Multipools are killing all coins. That is why you need protection from them with fast diff retargets making it not possible for them to mine. That is why forking it and implementing KGW would be my first choice.  But if we cannot get our hands on the dev we could just leave things like they are. But you know it will be pumped and dumped all the time, never giving the coin time to mature. Or we could start a second coin on a new blockchain. But then there would be 2 Hobbitcoins. Not really a good thing.

On the other hand when a coin has momentum it can survive these pools. But you need big media exposure, and great community like Dogecoin.

Klondike coin implemented KGW but what happened, multipools stay away, and no interest anymore and coin price drop little by little. I believe it is best to create a retargeting based on time and not based on blocks, if that is possible, this allow multipools to do their thing and not destroy the coin as the retargeting will be in 6 hours or so.

Maybe we can ask the HoboNickel devs to adapt this coin. HobbitNickels!

hahaha... nah know all the people needed to do this.

Klondike is just a bad name.  They were better off naming it RushCoin or something.
HobbitCoin is a great name, there are millions of fans of the subject. That is why this coin might work. But you need commitment. I have plenty of ideas for this coin....

Interrest in a coin solely from multipools is no interrest at all.  But let's wait if we can get in touch with the dev.

http://coins.nzpost.co.nz/sites/default/files/BU-Coin-Set_0.png

What to do with my coins now? still own a few million hobbits

Still waiting to get in touch with the dev. If he has abandoned it, we just take it.

Same here.

Already love it!!!! But WHERE THE FUCK IS DEV!!!!! GIVE YOUR COIN TO SOMEONE THAT WANT TO WORK ON IT.

My friend passed away so I don't know what will happen with coin. I mean, just take it and promote it! I have it a lot but I am not willing to overtake it!

oh, i'm so sorry!!!

Sorry for your loss, Maybe a few community Dev's can pickup the coin and fork it...

Why do we need to fork it, maybe start promoting it...

I think we need to continue working on Hobbitcoin.

Donate 5% or even 10% to his family and try to make Hobbitcoin the coin that he thought Hobbit would have become. If we can create a nice group of people that want to work around this coin then a lot can be achieved.

What those the community think of it? We assign a group of promoters, someone taking over the coin and we donate 10% to his family. We create a donation address and from the moment it hits the market and the price look nice, the family can sell those coins.

We must collect 0.25 btc for Cryptorush

think think think...we gotta think

Relaunch this coin otherwise it will die  :(

Seems quite dead. Wraithcoin perhaps? :P

Keep the faith
Be patient

that is a very easy way to go, but you would have all sell walls and zero buy walls.
with a passed dev and no community not a person alive will buy the coin.

also there are newer exchanges which are very easy to get on, some as easy as I just email or message them and bs for 5 min and as long as BE is online, it is listed.. that easy!

I would start with community first... I would collect small donations from community and use those coins to bounty a host for BE ...
than perhaps a dice and android game... than you have momentum
all can be done in a week btw!

Good as the main pool will now close on 14, I will redirect my miner to hbc.easy-mining.net. I will fight until the end to go forward that currency. Who need help or donation to raise this money can count on me. Not much more I have 40,000,000 HBC then I hope it's worth something in the future. Come on guys, let's re HobbitCoin.

Promotion open to all.

I want to do a promotion to give up the money that I consider the future DogeCoin of altcoins.

Rules

Email list of donated prizes or address for verification the donations in blockchain.

HobbitMaster please pass me the requirements to run block explorer and if possible pass me the supplies I already configured to enable block explorer Hobbitcoin.

I suggest we change the name to HobbitsesCoin. Continued liaison with more Hobbit not handle a trademark nor cause problem with Tolkien or with industrial films. What do you think Hobbitses?

Come on guys ... For the first 10 who respond the topic and request to add Cryptsy will dara 200,000 HBC. Run and enjoy.

I don't think cryptsy will add Hobbitcoin :D This coin is dead :(

Why say that Placebo? What happened I do not know yet?

As far as we've got coins in our wallets and we keep mining, actually this coin is not dead  ;)

According to wikipedia : "However the word "Hobbit" is a trademark owned by the Tolkien estate."
so unless there's a rebrand, it likely won't get listed - after what happened with Coinye, any whiff of copyright infringement will be enough to scare away exchanges.

It's a pity HobbitsesCoin doesn't roll off the tongue as easily, it's quite funny with a good Gollumesque twist. But considering it's a quote from the films, makes me think it's not completely safe from legal persecution (insert angry Peter Jackson meme here).

What about a deal with Tolkien ?!  :P Or having Peter Jackson involved ?!  ;D

...Is it that stupid ?

Dear Tolkien,

I know you're dead and you don't wanna be disturbed anymore. BTW do you mind if we put the face of a hobbit on a coin ?

Dear Peter,

It's true that hobbitcoin has no value. Anyway what if every single fan who buys theatre ticket or dvd gets a few hobbitcoins ?

Shopping for coins , and looking for coins that have stayed below radar but still active as a dev and community , is there still something going on?

100% ative and mining

Nice to hear somebody is still active.
What pool you're mining at?

hbc.easy-mining.net

Not that encouraging statistics but i'll give it a thought.

What? Talk please

is it cpu??

cpu/gpu

I can try to increase HBC visibility if I get some help...


1- Crypto-Rush

We need to collect .25 btc (adding fee). I'll sell 12 500 000 HBC (.00000002 BTC / HBC) instead of asking donations (quite different)

Here is my BTC address : 12jVVka784Qq73PMypHnxxjaDYeoJUUgSs
Please send me PM with transaction ID and HBC address so I can pay you back


2- coinmarketcap.com

I'll take care of having a block explorer set up


Well, future of HBC is up to us !

I donate 12500000 for you for helping

Thanks

Here is my HBC address : 7ZXkf3gDojhmmcdKYBTbzNR16kj2wSC2F5
I'll refund you if I don't collect .25 BTC within 10 days (I need your HBC address)

So now I'll sell 25 000 000 HBC (.00000001 BTC / HBC)

BTC address doesn't change

http://s13.postimg.org/wqsqdm5vr/doacao.png (http://postimage.org/)

Done... Promote the best coin of the world....

I did receive 12 500 000 from galegobr01

now we need those 25 000 000 to be sold...

I can sell on https://coin-swap.net/ if you don't trust me
Just let me know how much you wanna buy and you'll be provided with a private & secure trade link

added in MintPal voting section : https://www.mintpal.com/voting

You should put more info to get more support. It is nice there is no premine but I'm not sure if there is anything attractive at this coin.

What do you wanna know ? what is HBC purpose ? I don't know yet
Maybe we could make it grow if we sold these 25 000 000

Well, I've just got an idea, a huge one. Gotta think about it...perhaps too big

what idea?

gotta think about it...

I do not see any problem.

There are
APPLEcoins
DELTAcoins
WIKIcoins

to name only a few - very likely there are more trademarks registered than there are altcoins with that name - and we have got a lot of altcoins by now.

But AFAIK none of them has a registered trademark for that names as 'altcoins'.

True. I accord with us.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524794.0

applecoin is a sleeper.
keep your eyes on that one!!!

Hobbitcoin seemed interested,I like it.

Hi folks, I'm announcing 10 000 000 HBC giveaway! :D First 50 users, who will post their HBC address here, will receive 200 000 HBC.

Just out of curiosity , how many hbc you have?

Is it important for you?

Seeing how things went lately with this coin , having a ba gholder with probably 10% of coins trying to fuel some new blood in the coin...smells like a pump and dump :)

10% is really not my case. ;) I'm just trying to revive this coin a little bit.

I declare this coin dead. RIP Hobbitcoin  :'(

if you want any coin to work, you need 2 things
1) coin needs a dev to fix eventual technical issues
2) dev or investor needs to pay the right people to promote it. that's right. pay!
the community will just follow the hype, so pay the right people to promote the coin and you'll be in moneyland

188.226.175.6
31.6.70.133
5.9.158.79
87.236.196.169
144.76.57.52

Thanks!  I kept my wallet but haven't updated the blockchain in months, and whatever nodes were included in the wallet seem to be dead now.  Anyone else going to try to swap for CCB [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667866 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667866)]?  The coin-swap HBC-DOGE market is stagnant (are there any others anymore?).

I plan on exchanging HBC for CCB.

1,076,600,913.6717078 HBC collected so far

I have mined pretty hard!  ;D

Is this coin still alive?

You can swap your HBC against CCB

Wallet doesn't sync and can't get old coins out of the exchange.

Hobbitmaster needs to die in a fire for defiling the hobbit name.

Yes this is a dead coin. I am surprised some exchanges are still listing it.

So all hobbits are dead and who then will bear the ring?

is it ok to troll on hobbit coin ?
so what so precious about the coin ?

Don't worry, the dead won't mind.
