[ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain

[SISAR]

Well i managed to download and unzip the blockchain and now the client is stuck on the loading screen the HUC huntercoin logo.. and yep hour later still sitting there looking at me funny

Unless HUC wallet works differently than other Bitcoin-like wallets, it will check data you have downloaded the same way as if you downloaded blockchain from other nodes. To blindly trust whatever source of download you picked could end up badly and given that cryptocoins are trustless it is neccessary to check all data. Is there some HDD activity at all, is HUC wallet process using up a lot of CPU? If yes and yes, it is the case as explained above so just wait untill it is all done.

Some time ago there was a talk about HUC mobile (or it was web) client, a light node. Any progress there or it was canceled?

Given the size of current blockchain, are there any plans to recast a genesis block? Like "at the latest block X do a checkpointing at block X-1440 and freeze database at that point then create a new genesis block containing state of all used addresses ending with block X-1440" or some other deal, in any case wipping all tx data prior to block X-1440.

Is there any explorer or website that shows the amount of already mined coins?

Block-halving will happen at roughly what date?

possible it's doing a Rescan - if you have a mechanical hard disk - this may take a very long time.
check debug.log and see what it says at the end of the file while it's stuck on that screen. If there is an issue it would normally crash.

Hopefully we should soon release the Android version - although this will require a working daemon to connect to (for now).

Some work is being put in to update the core code (based on namecore - completely reimplemented to the latest bitcoin core code) - with the possibility of a future lite-client.

I have looked at the running processes  with task manager in windows cpu usage is near or a 0%, also i have an internal SSD and copied the data folder onto it and tried running it, still just freezes.

Tried on other more powerful computers but granted not for as long periods, at this point i have gave up on the qt and will wait for a more stable version.

For trouble shooting i disabled windows firewall to see if that was the issue, and again when hovering over the client running from scratch i get "not responding.." then it disappears and reappears.


Thanks all for the help

did you check debug.log - this will tell you/us the problem.

if you used the datafolder in a different directory than the default - did you use -datadir=d:\xxxx option?

without debug.log information we can't help. The QT should be pretty rocksolid tbh - although it may be slow syncing..

[BayAreaCoins]

It's slow AF.

Just leave it for days and days at the HUC icon if needed

If it looks broke... chances are it will work if you just leave it alone.

Updated to fix none scrolling hunter list - so you can control more than 12 hunters..

Huntercoin Unity3d Edition - you need to connect it to a daemon using settings in your huntercoin.conf

something like this

Code:

rpcuser=USERNAME
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Ok reinstalling the qt and letting it sync from scratch, and yes i always use the -datadir every since i got SSD's

I'll post the debug once it crashes..

Question: Should i load the game up while its syncing i have not yet but it might keep the qt running and not get the "not respond.." message

** Won't sync now  0 connections ** i am having the same issue with the qt now as someone on the official huntercoin forms has about the qt not connecting, i have tried with the adding nodes and without ... and with windows firewall off, and my main pc, this is the first..

Are the main nodes down or something?

i'm getting 50+ connections with open ports
and also 8 connections without

The person on the forum is from the Philippines, and has some firewall / isp issue.

Instead of syncing from scratch download the chain imo - you will have it working fast.

If you want i'll help remotely for you (teamviewer or something?)

How long until block reward halving and how many coins are mined by now?

[jwinterm]

How long until block reward halving and how many coins are mined by now?

Looks like no halving:
http://huntercoin.org/information/features/

10 coins per block at ~block 740000 makes ~7.4M coins mined so far.

It says in the info 42M total coins, which would be about 8 years from launch. It's not clear what happens after 8 years though...game over?

[snailbrain]

How long until block reward halving and how many coins are mined by now?

42million coins total, 7.5million coins in circulation, block halving should be every 4 years (2.5 to go - i believe).

You can use the RPC call which Domob added

analyseutxo:

Code:

{
    "height" : 734599,
    "num_utxo" : 371802,
    "moneysupply" : {
        "utxo" : 7103619.60886544,
        "map" : 11464.69388000,
        "gameFund" : 315914.16725456,
        "total" : 7430998.47000000
    },
    "expected" : {
        "rewards" : 7430999.00000000,
        "dup_coinbase" : 0.00000000,
        "unspendable" : 0.53000000,
        "total" : 7430998.47000000
    },
    "check" : true
}

316k coins in the game fund with be distributed through NPCs and through the Crown of Fortune in a future update.

i think i might know why my client keeps freezing and not responding, that debug log is logging everything and i mean everything , every single packet that's comes in is being logged.

Whats the command to disable the debug in the .conf file?

O btw client connected today must had been bad irc bots last night

Icon

*** Updated  **
i think i have it,  debug=0 is disabled? Cause the client is running alot faster now and alot fewer "not responding..." messages O and something i am a little shamed to admit, when looking at the sync status i was looking at the end numbers not the first set of numbers.. meaning i was looking on how big the sync is when finished not where its at

PS

If i have the game client up and running and can see the people playing and moving that means i am still syncing right?

you can check what block we are on at http://huntercoin.info

p.s. I've just tested setting up from a fresh datadir - It looks like I also had some IRC issue

if anyone else get's a similar issue add this in huntercoin.conf

Code:

addnode=178.62.17.234
addnode=192.99.247.234

while we look into it (seems IRC server may be dead)

Thanks for info, for some reason http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/huntercoin/ is saying that only around 4 million coins are mined so it calculates marketcap at only 39 BTC but even with correct number of mined coins marketcap at around 70 BTC looks ridicule low to me.

I think it's because it extracted the amount of coins in circulation from the old block explorer run by Khal from namecoin.. he created a blank page with the total coins on..
he's MIA and we now use a new block explorer.

I will ask BGB to print on a blank page the total amount in circulation..

Huntercoin 1.2.00.1

Small Update
Fix Bug in name_pending - locking order - sometimes caused daemon/qt to hang
Fix to static nodes - should help if IRC is not available

IRC is actually working now though..

Well downloaded the 1.2.1 qt and so far so good @ week 69, before i would had to restart the qt .. but not yet, also no "not responding ..." yet either

Here's to hoping..

Icon


**Update***

well it was fun while it lasted it stop syncing after 5 hours on week 69, so deleted the data folder and copied the .zip blockchain and tried it .. loaded up task manager and saw some cpu % on the qt then it doped back down to 0 staid there.. On the plus side i have yet to see "not responding.." message

if you need some help let me know..

you will get the not responding message when it's busy, you just need to wait unfortunately - until fully synced.

I'm really surprised to see HUC price going up for over 2 weeks without much resistance or major dumps, a new page in HUC trending. From all-time high at 0.0035 down to all-time low at 0.00000334 and now slowly going up, what a ride!

Not a huge surprise, imo, SISAR. A couple of months ago when the Unity project was announced, there was a decent pump, and now it seems like "lite" versions that might run on Android or iOS are getting closer to reality, so some price rise is to be expected, I think.
