Huntercoin -- Hard Fork due this Week. - Make sure you have updated
Major Changes - Read OnA Crypto Currency with a difference:
Although it's possible to mine Huntercoin (merged mined) with both SHA256 and Scrypt Hardware (dual Algo), the majority of the coins are distributed inside a Virtual Reality known as Chronosius.
This opens up the ability to mine coins to almost anyone.
Huntercoin is the first human mine-able coin -(Proof of Play? as others are terming it)
It may be considered the first decentralized MMOG (that i could see -- correct me if i'm wrong - i see people talking about them but not any in practice).
less important>> The first crypto to incorporate both sha256 and scrypt for mining with hardware, of which both algos are Merge Mine-able.
see here for a time lapse video for the first month or so of Huntercoin >>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41RW6bxpM4ChangesIf all goes according to plan:
On Block 255k - Every Player on the Map will be poisoned and die over the next 50 blocks. "The Cleansing" aka "Poison disaster".
Creating a new player miner (aka General) will cost 10 HUCs.
You will start with only 1 general (although you can create as many as you want at 10 HUCs each).
You can collect hearts on the Map as you can now, which will allow you to control 1 additional "hunter" with the general that collected the heart.
After block 255k, Disasters have a chance of happening every block 1 day after the last disaster, with an increasing chance of a disaster until 12 days, of which a disaster will happen.
Hold control + click for multi click waypoints.
This may be an opportunity for new players to get some coins.Issues:Downloading the blockchain can take a few days.
It's recommended you use an SSD.
Chain is currently 12GB in size
These issues will be addressed in time (they are being worked on).
Binaries for Windows and Mac are available:
For now - I recommend you download the chain and binaries from here
http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=37.0You can download split-zip from mega, or a single zip from my hosting (although you should only use this if you have issues with mega).
