Definitely. It is actually doing nicely right now, check its explorer page at https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/I0C-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5-1

(Current price .014 USD, up 3.8%)

It is one of the assets people are including in the "small scale experiment" of buying 1 to 3 Stellar Lumens (XLM) worth of every day or few, most of the players participating seem to focus mostly on CZB, GPL, HZ, I0C, IXC, NRD, SPICE and UFC though they are dabbling with others too, look around and pick a few to play with.

Follow the HIVE posts of A-R-Crypto and Knotwork at https://peakd.com/@a-r-crypto and https://peakd.com/@knotwork

The experiment is working well, though once larger-scale players start playing with the assets the little guys won't be able to make as much difference as fast. But by that time hopefully the small scale players should have spread some of their aquisitions out into columns of sell offers so as the process speeds up and scales up their parts in the experiment should become more and more self-funding. Do remember though to also build your buy offers column to take advantage of the dumps that will doutbless eventually happen, if nothing else there is always the chance of someone getting hacked and the hacker dumping everything in their account without caring about getting decent prices for any of it.

Ixcoin made me broke because I bought my bags @ $6 a coin Embarrassed

I don't recall it ever going that high, usually when we got it up above $1 the exchange it was on would claim to get hacked, or de-list it or something, I thought we never even got it up to $2.

IXCoin is one of the ones we are doing a "small scale experiment" with lately, see A-R-Crypto's posts and Knotwork's posts on HIVE, https://peakd.com/@a-r-crypto and https://peakd.com/@knotwork the experiment is very small and simple, just buying 1 to 3 Stellar Lumens (XLM) of each of 1 to 3 or so of the coins we are so far experimenting with each day or few. Then later once having accumulated some of them all start putting some back for sale to build your sell offers column and hopefully also over time build your column of buy offers to catch any that get dumped whether by dumpers or by someone getting hacked and the hacker dumping everything in their account without caring about getting decent prices for it all.

The coins currently being focussed on seem to be CZB, GPL, HZ, I0C, IXC, NRD, SPICE and UFC mostly but look around and maybe pick some others to play with too.

(Note though that HZ is included not because we expect to drive up its price, someone has some sell-walls of 100000 HZ on the sell order-book; it is just that it is so crazy-cheap it is real good to pick up for use on the HORIZON platform.)

Currently we haven't been on Stellar long enough to have a lot of Stellar Lumens to build the buy-sides with so everything is still crazy-cheap there as we just don't have enough Lumens yet to build the buy-sides up to where they "should" be. So it is all tiny enough scale still that 1 to 3 lumens at a time can make a very visible difference. As larger players move in it should scale up, whereupon like so many other things out there the little player will again start to get lost in the crowd, unable to make much of a real difference in how their chosen coins perform. But right now these small scale offers are really making a big difference.

Also, the LOBSTR Stellar-wallet for android recently updated and now whenever you go to buy one of these assets it shows a warning that less than 5000 accounts have any of that asset so are you sure you want to buy it considering "so few" people have it! Like wow, we need 5000 users just to not have it show that warning! So hey if you want IXCoin to do well, create more accounts holding it, if we can get up to 5000 we won't be showing that discouraging warning every time someone contemplates buying some! Smiley

Here is IXCoin's explorer page on Stellar.Expert: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/IXC-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5-1

IXC on Stellar ( https://makemoney.knotwork.com/stellar/ixc/ ) is coming along nicely, was able to do a lot of strengthening of its buy-side today.

Check out its "explorer" page at https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/IXC-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5

It currently shows its "current price" as 0.15 USD, up 10.7%.

Nice job develCuy.Yeah the market and price for ixcoin is very poor.It took me ages to sell some ixcoin and then buy it back and accumulate a few extra at a lower price.The community needs a good trading bot or something to make a market or maybe some of those bagholders could sell and others trying to accumulate a few more coins buy.Thanks for the update.

The IXC asset on the Stellar platform ("DEX") has a market-maker bot running on it, as do most of the other Galactic Milieu assets on Stellar.

See https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/asset/IXC-GBHAQ252S4Z4AQOM4BWIRC3UHAOJIKCZQBUJGD336YH2O7W2NKRXMHA5

(Also, thanks to lack of arbitrageurs, prices are way better on Stellar than on FreiExchange, an arbitrage opportunity still awaiting an arbitrageur...)

By the way, using tiny offers is working rather well to build up Galactic Milieu assets on Stellar, and IXC is one of those being worked on in that way.

Currently DeVCoin's only "active" income within the Galactic Milieu, as far as I am aware, is Devos Gang within the MUDgaard CoffeeMUD server.

Among the assets Devos Gang holds are a number of MUDgaard player-accounts, which are an asset for which we have yet to determine a reasonable value.

I have posted on the Hive blockchain and on Quora soliciting thoughts on how player-accounts should be priced or allocated; I hope you-all will take a moment to read and respond to the question.

Reproduction exists in MUDgaard, so at long last the arbitrary creation of characters "out of nothing" has been disabled.

Thus the two races of characters Devos Gang has been breeding (ogres and goblins) are no longer something any arbitrary player can suddenly come up with on their own; those who have none (which is everyone other than the Devos Gang) will need to convince the Devos to let them play one of their growing number of children if they want to deploy characters of those races.

Thus now not only do we need to come up with some "reasonable" system for determining allocation of player-accounts, we are in the character-breeding business; like in Axie Infinity, character breeding has become a potentially-significant part of the MUDgaard play-to-earn ecosystem.

Those players who were canny enough to secure player-accounts during the over a decade now that MUDgaard has been running are now in a position to leverage their holdings more powerfully than ever.

Securing of additional player-accounts will be under some pressure going forward from the demand created by character-breeding, as each player-account only supports ten characters (only five of which can be online simultaneously). Once an account is full, it will have no room for newly come of age children to become playable characters within the account of the parent or guardian they are following at the time of their coming-of-age.

For now great place for community in addition to discord Tongue For now I am the admin but I'd be happy to hand it over when the wizards come out of the shadows and admit their creation.

I have absolutely none of any old chain for it. Sad

Hopefully if there are still people running it covertly some will come out of the closet.

With AXIOM when it forked so badly the exchange could not resolve it I "rescued" the branch they orphaned by cloning it as AXON and making sure AXON followed the chain the exchange did not. Though come to think of it neither is yet a "reserve currency" in the Milieu, aka a currency useable for "treasuries" and calculable in value from a "treasury" of its own.

So maybe if there are large alternate forks out there each can be given a different name and maybe fight for the old name or something Smiley

Edit to add 3 / Another option would be restart with the original history so people don't outright lose old coins, but make the new block reward such that the entire 'last known' coin supply on the old chain would be reissued in a few weeks or so on the new chain. That would make old coins worth very little but still something. That would need a block explorer though to examine the history roughly post 2019 to look for unusual surges in coin supply that might have been behind huc's early death.

How we build a "treasury" could address some of that, since if the old coins are valuable they ought to be able to buy a lot of stuff to put in the "treasury"; whereas if they are worth close to nothing they'll be able to buy close to nothing to populate their "treasury" and donations will be needed to get a decent treasury together.

It might not need to be worth much at first though so maybe supporters could start a FreeCiv civilisation among the "civilised worlds" that uses HUC as its currency, and have that civilisation put some of its earnings into the "treasury" so as the civilisation grows so hopefully will the value of its currency.

We have already gone through this "turn it into a treasury-based currency in the Galactic Milieu" process with other coins, not all of them are worth a whole lot per coin either; a few alliances with other minor civilisations might find some willing to trade some of their currency for HUC to put in its treasury in return for some HUC to put in their own, things like that. Also it is possible some HUC whales might by now be whales in Xaya or various other currencies and be willing to put some of those toward the project of rebuilding HUC's buy-side order-books.

Or maybe HUC could just go the way of several early blockchain-based coins, recognising that paying third parties to mint their currency for them is a poor expense to carry and switch over to being natively a token on some token platform. As allowing third parties, some of whom might even be among one's actual enemies, to mint one's currency isn't always a great idea.

That last idea though doesn't fit with the idea of preserving HUC for its history, keeping it as antique-retro blockchain game.

Thanks. I don't really have a choice if there are no nodes to connect to, will have to fire up another myself which will cause them to start from scratch.

If I do let it start from scratch thanks for reminder about pre-mine, I will look at code first to check it goes into the wallet not to some hard-coded address; or maybe just get rid of it. I seem to recall hearing it was modest amount, intended for bounties, and in any event ended up getting lost when developer was assassinated by whoever (maybe just the same old grim reaper that takes everyone in the end?)

Really though the point was, like with other "orphaned" coins, to pick up where it left off and see about building a "treasury" for it so that it can have a computed value per coin calculated by dividing the value of the "treasury" by the number minted.

Re-starting wouldn't be the same at all.

It was never represented to me as a 1-year experiment for fun.

Snailbrain is not the type of person I would want to do future business with is all I'm saying.

Putting that "one year experiment" part aside, let me ask directly:  What improvements would you like to see for the Huntercoin project?  Is there any help you might be able to offer with them?

Note that the codebase is roughly up-to-date with Bitcoin Core from a year ago.  I think that's likely much better than most Bitcoin-clone-shitcoins out there, even if they are on exchanges and pumped by shills.

I personally like Huntercoin a lot, it certainly is a piece of crypto history, and I still hold a non-trivial amount of coins myself.  So if there is any concrete proposal for getting involved and improving the project, I'm more than happy to support you on that.

I was about to jump in say yeah lets do it, but... I do not seem to be able to connect to any extant huntercoin nodes...

I was a huge fan of a MMO (Text based) RPG game called BatMud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BatMUD) which was created in 1990. I was absolutely obsessed with this game and I would have been a full blown addict, IF it was linked to some kind of Crypto coin back then.

The day when they release a game like https://www.bat.org/ (BatMUD) with Crypto currency as a in-game currency... I will go nuts. If you ever want to design something like that, please notify me when it is done. (I will be your #1 Fan/Player/Promoter)  Wink

Would CoffeeMUD suffice?

I think Cyclos branched into being commercial, leaving the free open source version behind maybe; though I have not checked for years.

Maybe the free open source version did end up building a team to maintain it.

Right at the moment I have too many other things to do and to research so I likely won't look into Cyclos again until/unless what it used to be good for comes up again and something becoming more needed.

ETH was down since I posted that offer, it was about $25 USD when I posted it.

So far that is the only such house minted as an NFT, to work with them in large numbers a simple way to prove ownership is needed, the simpler it is the less overhead fees someone wanting to assert various powers-of-ownership would face since basically its current usefulness other than simply as something that can be traded on the blockchain would be using it to bypass the in-game keys that characters in game use to access the house. That would require game-master intervention such as having the gamemaster provide some character or characters with the in-game key objects or even editing the maps to invalidate the current set of keys and issue new different keys for the building. Or maybe edit the existing keys in character's inventories or item-stashes to make them invalid and issue new keys.

Its advantage over other similar buildings that have not been minted as NFTs is thus that the owner of the NFT can loan or lease revocable access to the building.

Congratulations on becoming the very first owner of a Galactic Milieu NFT! Smiley

The part about generational wealth is certainly relevant.

Don't keep thinking of DeVCoin "in isolation". It is part of a large family of coins.

At this point too too many coins have been abandoned, turning them into just scam cash-grabs in effect.

Our coins are not like that, and we have even reached out to salvage some that weren't initially part of our family, such as the first two scrypt coins that the litecoin followers callously abandoned and tried to "sweep under the rug", and the "science fiction themed" coins because science fiction themes fit the themes of the Galactic Milieu.

We should be focussing our support of free open source more tightly, favouring specifically initially the items of free open source that we actually use in our overall multiverse / metaverse projects, like all the coins themselves of course but also all the games we have been able to find a place (use) for so far and the minimal amounts of "glue" needed to fit them all together more conveniently.

We should have restricted the Wiki rewards to articles specifically about parts of that evolving multiverse / metaverse, things like people's experiences and strategies of getting themselves set up as powerful factions in the Milieu, suggestions for ways the components could be improved to work better together, heck even things like commentary on how best to interpret the various weights and measures and values and units within the various games to fit them all together well.

DeVCoin is still a "reserve currency" within the Milieu, and still almost the "unit of account" in the milieu too, the unit of value in which everything is by default shown in the Latest Rates include file still.

https://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/latestrates.inc

The Galactic Milieu deliberately locks coins up, taking them off the market, not just by having them all buy each other up for their Treasuries to increase their own calculated value but also by the policy of only tokenising half the coins on hand so that the other half can be used to buy back the tokens leaving the half that is tokenised still in cold storage "forever", still "backing" the tokens ready for their re-use. That is, we do not mint tokens "on the fly" as coins are "bailed in" and un-mint them as the coins they represent are "bailed out", rather we basically do not need to "bail out" the tokenised coins because we have enough additional coins to buy back the tokens while still leaving the tokenised coins locked away so the tokens are still "backed" even while they sit in our coffers ready to be re-used the next time someone wants to "bail in" some coins.

Thus there are two layers of tying up of coins to keep them from hitting the exchanges, being "dumped" to drive the spot prices on the exchanges down.

Admittedly there is still some "dumping" going on, partly because so many coins have been stolen so many times by "fly by night" exchanges, though by now hopefully we have already "bought back" most of those stolen coins.

Also of course upon initially launching onto a new token-platform such as Stellar, we do not have huge piles of its native coin with which to build the buy-sides of our trading-pairs; it takes time to sell enough of each coin on that platform to build a good strong buy-side denominated in that platform's native coin. That acts a bit like an "ICO", as while our buy-side is still small and weak we usually sell initially at bargain prices to build the buy-side more rapidly; basically as long as the price slots we are filling with buy-offers are low price we don't necessarily have to sell the coins at full price to fill them, just sell them at a higher price than we will be using the proceeds to make buy offers with. Currently the Stellar platform is still full of bargains as we are still a long way from having enough Stellar Lumens to build the buy-sides strongly and solidly up to the actual calculated values of the coins we are selling there.

(Calculated values are calculated by totalling the value of the coin's "Treasury" and dividing that total by the total number of the coin that has been minted.)

So this is very much a long long long term project.

We had earnings by loan interest long before "DeFi" became fashionable, implemented in our "Finance Corps" that anyone can buy "shares" of on the HORIZON platform.

We have had breeding of characters, combat enabled optionally between them, pretty much everything "Axie Infinity" provides just without the totally un-necessary use of a blockchain to do it, far too many things in recent years have stuck blockchains in where they are not needed. We could do that too but really blockchain is not always the best database to use for games.

Take a broader look at the canvas, DeVCoin is just one coin among many we are weaving together to make something much greater than just a sum of parts.

Where?

Not on the HORIZON platform either much it looks like.
