I can now confirm that 100 000 to 200 000 HYPER will be issued in IPO format to raise BTC for the market stabilization fund and to hire a primary dev / coder for the MMO. IPO will take place through a reputable escrow and BTC fund will be 100% transparent. There will be stages to the IPO with increasing rates to purchase the HYPER.

This will happen soon (1-3 days) and will be managed by Collegestudent who is an Asiacoin dev and has played a key role in that coin's revival!

Thank you to everyone who is supporting HYPER

Added to the OP along with our Freenode for giveaways and general HYPER discussion: #hypercrypto

We have a tipbot coming soon

Ha ha maybe he should be our mascot  (that's a joke btw)

HYPER HYPER!

Is the freenode channel with tipbot almost ready?

Looking forward to that

This hasn't been confirmed yet but it something we are considering as a way to raise BTC for the market stabilization fund and also perhaps to pay a professional coder (or coders) for the MMO. If we go ahead the BTC fund will be entirely transparent and the IPO will take place through a trusted escrow on the forum. Feedback on this idea is also appreciated.

I agree. There are 5 areas of discussion which I would like to open up to the community. This is a community project and I don't want to just call all the shots:

1. Discussing the HYPER MMO game world and background story to the MMO

2. Game mechanics. Should it be real time? Do we want a strategy game, like a 4x MMO? This was actually my original vision but I am not sure if this would be too ambitious at this stage. My vision is for players to build and grow an intergalactic empire which earns them HYPER, and which will remain the same until the next time the player logs in. Players will also be able to interact and form alliances and trade agreements etc with other players. So we would end up with a huge HYPER universe of players and their empires. Later we could add features where players can explore the universe by piloting one of their ships around the galaxy etc in cockpit view. Players should be ble to choose from a number of alien races (or humans) to play as, and could perhaps also create a custom race. There will be artificial and biological races and some races will be able to thrive in different atmospheres to Earth's (for example sulphur based life).

3. Open source resources and frameworks to use. We need to start compiling open source space tools / graphics / images / designs which we can incorporate into the game. The game itself may be open source this is still to be decided. We could make the game closed source so that it is an asset of the HYPER community.

4. The coding foundation. I'll be honest with you guys we will probably need a professional that we pay well to manage this aspect. Suggestions on game engines and frameworks to look at are gratefully accepted.

5. Any HYPER profits from the game could be compounded back into the market stabilization fund or other HYPER projects. While the game will earn HYPER for players, they will also be able to purchase game upgrades such as extra worlds and technologies etc for HYPER.

Should we have this discussion here or shall I open threads on the HYPER forum?

Any feedback gratefully accepted Feedback will be incorporated into a preliminary document. A wiki might be a good way to discuss these aspects of the game and perhaps I should set one up. Remember that anyone is welcome to join the discussion, and contribute their unique skillset and passions.

This is a long term project guys so I don't think it is responsible to have ETAs yet as we are still establishing the fundamentals of the game.

You're welcome

Marketing is the priority now - if anyone writes articles about HYPER and publishes them anywhere online please PM me to collect bounties!

The HYPER team is growing.

Current team:

Me (HYPERfuture): PR, community manager, web guy, making it happen. Overall coordinator of the project.
Anonymous: Mysterious coin dev, cryptocurrency coding guy.
shivamchawla: Internet marketing specialist, all round action taker who joined after launch.
Tokyoghetto: HYPER Market Stabilization Fund Manager
Gladimor: MMO Outreach Coordinator (to contact MMOs to add HYPER as an in-game currency)

EDIT: net hash is over 3 GH/s now Glad to see even more miners getting HYPER while they can. The current prices on the exchange are a great way for anyone to get HYPER on the cheap too.

Hi all

Today has been an exciting day for HYPER!

We have our mac wallet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7cv0an9nv2zw83r/Hyper-Qt-MacOSX-v1.5.zip zip shasum: 3778998d972bab88e347e36716dcb083312e20c7

And the first merchant to claim a bounty and accept HYPER (other merchants please PM me to claim a bounty): http://bitscoinshop.com.br/en/

Gladimor - great stuff in communicating with Bittrex regarding listing HYPER. Please PM me your HYPER address. Txt fee is 0.0001 HYPER, would be good if minimum trade amount was 0.000001 HYPER (if it is too low Bittrex can use their minimum). Planning for the future when HYPER is worth a lot. Transparent PNG can be found in the HYPER source. If you're not sure where to find it just let me know and I will send it to you. Great work

We have an urgent bounty for a HYPER accepted here badge for merchant use: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?topic=121.0

And another bounty for a physical HYPER coin design: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?topic=122.0

I understand concerns regarding the premine. Questions regarding the premine have been answered in detail here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624651.60 Firstly, we will have full transparency regarding the HYPER Market Stabilzation Fund of which Tokyoghetto will be managing the liquidity aspect of the fund. The rest of the fund will be used for staking. 20% will go to tokyoghetto as a fee for running the fund, 50% will be compounded into the staking portion of the fund to further grow the fund, and 30% will be invested into another wallet to help sponsor other HYPER projects. This will be made official when the fund launches. We were going to launch the fund after the PoW phase finished but if there is demand for it we can launch it sooner.

Other funds for the MMO development (and to offer bounties for existing MMOs / online games to integrate HYPER), and ongoing marketing and promotions will also be established.

At this stage the priority is to send out HYPER for initial bounties and giveaways, to help the coin have a solid start and ecosystem. Anyone can check the blockexplorer to see that HYPER is being distributed amongst as many people as possible as a result of bounties and giveaways.

Please also remember that if you have any idea at all for a service / project which involves HYPER please bring it up with me to see if you are eligible for a bounty

I'm being flooded with PMs and trying to keep on top of everything, so apologies if I haven't gotten back to anyone yet.

Spread the word about 9 days left of HYPER PoW left, everywhere you can guys.

The more miners we have the healthier HYPER will be long into the HYPERfuture

Lots more FREE HYPER available here: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0

Ok here's the daily rundown on HYPER:

- Tokyoghetto is the official HYPER Market Fund Manager for the liquidity component of the fund! The fund will kick off in earnest after the PoW phase is over. This is great news as Tokyoghetto is well regarded as an astute investor in the PoS community - this can only mean good things for HYPER. For those wanting details all will be revealed soon.

- Mac wallet should be done within a few hours.

- Volume is growing on the exchange over at https://sharexcoin.com/market/HYPER_BTC (and we're still only on day 4 of the coin)

- Network hash rate has been bouncing between around 1-2 GH/s for the last few hours.

- Press release has gone out. As well as this article http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/new-cryptocurrency-hyper-offers-5-monthly-interest-sponsoring-space-mmo-game-market-stabilization-fund-and-more/ expect to HYPER on some big media sites soon.

- HYPER giveaways section on the official HYPER forum is live: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0

That's about it for today fellow HYPER active people!

Keep rocking

~HYPERfuture

Wow nethash has skyrocketed since the press release went up on http://bitcoinprbuzz.com/new-cryptocurrency-hyper-offers-5-monthly-interest-sponsoring-space-mmo-game-market-stabilization-fund-and-more/

Those guys did an amazing job very happy Apparently there is a lot more to come.

All good in the HYPERfuture 

Patience my friend

It's going out very soon, but it will take a day or two to spread through all the media outlets.

Also in regards to the Mac wallet haven't heard back from the dev yet (he mentioned he was very busy at the moment) but he has shown screenshots of work and it shouldn't be too far away!

OK here are the HYPER giveaways on the HYPER forum: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0

Only takes 2 seconds to register on the forum.

Will add more soon

I will contact the operator and see if he needs more HYPER for it - if he's already run out it means there is huge demand for HYPER!.

Updated the OP with the exchange.

If anyone joins the forum at http://hypercrypto.com/forum and makes a post in the newbies section with their HYPER address I will send them some HYPER Bitcointalk doesn't allow giveaways so there is none here sorry! I will add a section to the HYPER forum for this purpose shortly.

Sorry I haven't been online for a little while.

Today's priorities:

- Big press release going out in an hour or two
- Chasing down the Mac wallet dev (can't wait for this!)
- Still talking to tokyoghetto on the stabilization fund (I hope we can finalize that today too!)

HYPER Exchange is live with correct ticker: https://sharexcoin.com/market/HYPER_BTC

I have messaged ziplibrary to see if this can be fixed before we add the exchange to the OP.

Still this is great news!

I also need to sleep soon so the HYPER market making will remain in your guys' hands till I wake up

EDIT: Tomorrow is going to be a big day we have the Mac wallet coming out, PR campaign starting and we should have finalized the stabilization fund details with tokyoghetto too.
