[ANN][HUC] HunterCoin - Human Mine-able Crypto Currency GameWorld

[sdp]

Don't just wait and see.  Download the client and point cgminer at it.  You can try it out.  If you need some testnet huntercoins to get you started in the game put your testnet huntercoin address here.  I ended up with plenty.

Really - should be released in a week or 2
(i know i said, ready in 2 weeks or so 10 times - but we have changed it considerably, which in turn produced new bugs)

Great stuff ! I wonder how long it will take the Exilecoin guys to build a bot for Huntercoin ?  

I really enjoyed playing this on the testnet though and I hope the 'non-beta' gets a solid hash rate and lots of players / supporters.

In many respects this project is more important than Bitcoin and I'm being serious - the potential and innovation here is huge. Gratz !

The numbers look better when they have thousand separators in them:

ok thanks

i do think though that decimals don't need separators?


also, there could be an extra delay before release.. (more news to come)

Huntercoin Client is complete

Added:

Crown of Fortune - 1 Item on the map, of which a character can collect. He/She will receive 0.25 HUCs per block until he is killed or banks.. If he is killed he will drop the crown at his feet, and it can be picked up by someone else. The crown will drop if the character enters the Spawn/Bank Area.

Dual Algo - Huntercoin is mined by both SHA256 and Scrypt Miners (as well as Human). PoW/PoW/PoW (if human is PoW). Each algo targets 2 minute blocks, averaging 1 minute per block. Set algo=scrypt in huntercoin.conf to choose which algo you wish to mine.
Both Algos can be Merge Mined with compatible cryptos

See Wiki http://wiki.chronokings.com/index.php?title=Mining

Release date will be confirmed later..

its not quite clear to me if i can mine this in a normal way with gpu, or that i have to play the game in the wallet to mine, or if i can do both.

both if you want

but then whats the point of playing the game when you can just point your rig to it?

Have a read at the game info. on the release thread, mined coins are a low % of coins, the majority will be collected ingame. Without looking I think it was 20%/80% ?

This is good as it means pointing my ASIC at it won't do me much good, (so I won't) and we won't have another stupid arms race. Anyone can get coins if they are prepared to work for them on a pretty level playing field. It's more fun than a box of fans sitting in the corner too
