Somehow my database got corrupted. Re-downloading the blockchain. 36 hours in and I am up to around 90k.
This isn't meant to be as negative as it might sound but just got me thinking out loud.. Wonder if one could sell HUC styled flash drives with the latest block "as of x" then have it mailed out. Obviously with pruning and other possibilities, this is moot. HUC-styled USBs might be on the books, but filling them with the latest blocks would only partially put off the blockchain problem, and a very inefficient remedy at that too. I'd rather use the USBs as a pure promotional piece rather than a tool. Pruning is at the top of Snailbrain's priorities for the coin anyway, I should assume. |

could you please explain what will happen if i burn 1 coin? or 0.1?
A UFO will land, steal your peanut butter and the world will end. Read up on the thread and the OP before asking silly questions. |

Great, we're clear now, on the intentions and more or less on the stages that follow.Myriad's team has been outstanding in providing a strong plan for the coin and delivering on that plan, my thanks to you all.Please let us now as soon as MAMMMP can be used/tested - I will simply have all my hashing power there (ASIC scrypt and GPUs) and stop having those "interruptions" when I use them to mine other coins  Also, let us know when we can help alpha/beta test the all new encompassing wallet - the specs you purpose will make it a strong tool for this coin's growth and adoption (there are a few wallets out there that already do some of that stuff, but none in such a complete way) And lastly (I know you guys don't like it much that I and others insist), please consider analyzing thoroughly the X11 combo algo and further analyze the possibility of using it on Myriad's blockchain - this would allow keeping groestl, skein and qubit (all part of X11 combo) and open the possibility of introducing a new algo. I truly believe that down the line myriad will need to refresh it self, so now is the time to investigate and analyze the viable possibilities. Again, thanks. X11 is moot man. Check out myriadcoin-Groestl it destroys it. Please take the time to load a miner or stfu.  I do not mean this rude... this is simple facts. Yeah, stop all this whining for X11. Congratulations for the announcement Dev, it all looks extremely promising to say the least! However: the next most important thing on the current list should be a proper website since that will be the first stop for most people who do not know about MYR |

I could likely pull off the t-shirts given some designs...
That would be great. I'll keep it in mind |

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could update me on the current status of the http://www.myriadcoin.org website? I understand that the owner of the site "dropped off the radar" and hence the site has not been updated for a while (ie: pointing at old wallet versions, not listing all merchants / exchanges). Is this being resolved? Is it possible to resolve? I love this coin and have great hopes for its future, but it is a bit crappy if the main website is out of control and not being updated  I realise everyone is being pointed at the http://myriad.theblockexplorer.com site and that this site is up to date (thanks foodies), but like it or not, most people who hear about this coin on a podcast or the like are going to probably head to the old site first... and there is nothing on the old site saying that it is out of date! What are people's thoughts on this? Cheers, Dan Yes, we definitely need an updated website |

You guys get to find out what MAMMMP is on Friday. Be happy!
Today is Friday, we are waiting eagerly))) Damn time zones. Today is Thursday in America, which is where both I and David Seaman live. I guess one more day for you? And what about now? ) Friday. Still early on in the day in the US. Be patient |

Are there going to be any fixes for this whole bot issue?

It's impossible to have a CPU-only algo. Whatever a CPU can do, a GPU at one point or another will be able to do better.
Not true. Anyway, dev should take a look at Proof-of-Burn algo currently implemented by Slimcoin ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.0). It works by burning coins you mine. The more you burn the more stake you have in the PoB - more blocks. Burning coins equates to more hashing power. Similar to PoS but better. We need this to stop the dumpers, give them an incentive to hold & burn. Yeah, the PoB concept is working really well - less-than-optimal returns, too many bugs at the moment and no one has managed to make a fully-working pool so far. It's a nice idea in concept, but in practice, best wait and steer clear from it for now. You do not want to destabilise a coin like MYR with such an untested concept. It's impossible to have a CPU-only algo. Whatever a CPU can do, a GPU at one point or another will be able to do better.
How did Quark and Securecoin manage it? They were marketed as CPU-only coins. And Quark became mined by GPUs later on. Same for DRK - it was a CPU-only coin at first. I see no problems with the current algos in place. There's the ASIC algos, the AMD-favourable algo and the NVIDIA-favourable algo, along with another one which can be mined by CPUs and effectively it's the best algo for CPUs (qubit) since the other two GPU-centred algos (skein and groestl) would be a far better option for GPUs than if they were to stick to Qubit, hence freeing this algo up for CPUs from its own nature. I hope you understand my point. It's best to get this point regarding multi-algo out to the masses, since most seem to be discussing the SMS wallet; while that is a useful feature, it has nothing on the usefulness of a multi-algo mechanism. |

Looking forward to hear the news about MAMMMP later on today!
Lets take it to the moon..or at least 900 900 is too low a value for this coin, especially considering coins such as BC and DRK reached those sort of levels. |

Yup. I'm running BTC, NMC, DVC, FSC & GRP - all built from source without issues. NMC wouldn't compile with upnp enabled, but apart from that they are all running sweet.
Well it's a shame having to lose you because of a bug which as of yet has remained unidentified. Can we perhaps set up a bounty for whoever finds what this bug is? |

So far, so good. The 1st day of D2D distribution has gone smoothly and without any significant hitches. The people were really curious about the whole concept, but unfortunately ignorance on the subject is still extremely high. I spent a couple of hours going around with one of the teams and I found that the easiest explanation to give to most people was that Muniti is a form of online money. There's still a long way to go to integrate such an innovative payment system in our country, but we're not giving up just now. Pictures of the wallet will be uploaded this weekend - the polo-shirts unfortunately still have not arrived and I've been desperately trying to get hold of the supplier but he's not answering my calls. I'll have to pay him a visit tomorrow. For now, the team is just wearing plain red T-shirts.

What services/goods would y'all like to be able to spend your HUC on? I want to come up with something special or metals... I was thinking Romen Noodles lol I can afford a inventory and if I go tits up at least I have noodles  Edit: Maybe insurance for your Generals? USBs are a high-demand tech item. Maybe a "Survivor Gamer pack" for when HUC becomes played by a lot of people again, consisting of Ramen noodles, mountain dew, etc HUC t-shirts would also be really cool. |

@MithrilMan: Do you mean that when creating a player, you can optionally give it some coins already? (Incidentally, the upcoming hardfork will allow this in some way - it won't fix a general's value but only enforce a lower limit. That's what the new "coinAmount" field is for.) I don't think this helps much, though, since everyone who does this and loses the coins later to some "other" player is making a very obvious link between input and output of the attempted "mix". (Although, since there's some non-vanishing risk that some other player may take the coins, it does at least provide deniability.)
yes that was the idea: when you create an hunter, you can charge him with some coins, so he can go somewhere on the map, destruct himself and with another hunter can collect that sum of course it's risky for the player, but this way huntercoin could create a sort of "job", where people who want to mix coins (i was joking about money laundering ) can ask to an "huntercoin escrow" to do the job (the escrow service could have just an hunter with a reward address set to the user who ask the coin mix just few thoughts, have to think about it, but it should be not so hard to do i guess, because after all a player is an address, right? Instead of individual "huntercoin escrows", what about "safes/banks" on the map itself where players can deposit their HUC? These safes cannot be broken into and would also act as a tactical maneuver of sorts since if for example a player is being chased, he can deposit his coins there and wait until it is safe again to withdraw them once more and take them safely to base. As Domob mentioned, the problem might be to determine how many coins belong to the depositor. I'm no programmer so I don't know how feasible these would be, but since you mentioned escrows, I thought I'd bring this suggestion up |

Hello!
Being the only exchange for MOTO at the moment I would like to ask You for some feedback of our service.
Are You satisfied? Maybe something to improve? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I'v got only one answer. Maybe anyone else could give several words for our platform? Deposits were quick and easy, overall it was good. The interface however needs a lot of improving, for example: the value graph needs to be a bit more streamlined in my opinion |

What's the reason for adding "now dominated by bots" in the ANN title? It's a childish move, scares away investors and shows the Dev's lack of commitment to the project if he gives up easily at the first noticeable problem
People must know about current situation. You want to lie to everybody that it is currently human-mineable? At least be more prudent about the whole situation. There are members of the community who have invested in this project fully believing in it, and you, as the person who has spent most time on the project, should value your own efforts more highly. The sell orders on c-cex are extremely thin, 2 BTC would get us back to where we were before. As long as another exchange does not add MOTO and in the meantime the necessary fixes are implemented, everything should be back to normal. It's still a very young project - if everyone were to give up in the first few days whenever a new coin is created, the crypto-world would have long since died |

Once I read a post mentioning that the HUC client acts as a perfect coin-mixing service due to dropped coins, etc. This however necessitates having to actually play the game to benefit from the service. What if all it required was for a person to "deposit" whatever amount of HUC he/she wanted in the game, and then just as easily withdraw them back? Upon a deposit, the coins get mixed with the main pool of coins on the map, including coins belonging to the players actually playing, and if the user wants to take those HUC back, all he/she needs to do is withdraw them back and you will have a fresh amount of HUC.
This might need a slight overhaul of the payment system, whereby a player would need to "charge" his playing time rather than deposit money on a one-off basis for a permanent player. If a player deposits HUC and clicks on "start playing", the timer starts running and the payment made becomes part of the main pool. If there is any playing time left over, the player can decide to stop playing and withdraw whatever HUC he/she has left plus any amount won. Likewise, for those who simply want to use the coin-mixing service, all they would need to do is deposit the money without clicking on start, and withdraw the same money after the mix has occurred. I think HUC is the only coin which can afford having a central mixing service due to its very nature as a game. The only centralization occurring here is the temporary "holding" of the coins of people playing
While a nice idea, I don't see how this would be possible for now. The problem is that there must be some kind of verifiable link between deposit and withdraw (to make sure that noone can withdraw more than they deposited), and this link can be used to undo the mix. I actually think that even the game in its current state, if you play it, is not too great as a coin mixer - mixing would mean to create a lot of generals, kill them off somehow, and collect their coins with different players (ideally on a different wallet). But presumably either this procedure is very tedious and bears a lot of risk that other players collect the coins instead, or it must be done in a very obvious way so that the mix isn't really of any use. However, if there are good ideas how to facilitate coin mixing inside of Huntercoin's game, I'm definitely interested in that! an idea could be to transfer some amount to a newly created player. this could lead to a risk of course, but it's the easiest way i think and after all this game shouldn't be a money laundering system, and if someone wants to use it for that, rightly takes its risks  Anonymity doesn't necessarily mean money-laundering operations. Even though my suggestion was a pretty minor one compared to the current impending issues of pruning and the like, it's still worthwhile to try and see what the true potential of a game platform like HUC can really be, by using all of its possible assets I'm also preparing a document with all the salient features of HUC which distinguish it from the rest and which would make HUC worthy of adoption, in preparation for the major update which is in the works. This summer should be used well to strengthen HUC's foundations since I'm predicting another major upshift in the crypto-world come next October/November, and we should take full advantage of that |
