Anyway now that I have dealt with this rude person. I have had a power failure last night ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So I'm still downloading the blockchain. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Ouch! Are you downloading the blockchain file domob uploaded? It makes things go faster.

But anyway, let me know when you get synced and I'll gladly send some coins so you can test game out.
Lol gimme a break I'm dyslexic. xP Cool that would help. This current isn't dying like that other guy said right ? Ouch! Are you downloading the blockchain file domob uploaded? It makes things go faster. [/quote] Yea I never downloaded the blockchain maybe I should. I was expecting it to just be done over night, alas .

You need super fast Internet for the whole thing to sync overnight... and probably a solid state drive. It will be that way until the Huntercore update is implemented with blockchain pruning. For now, it's best to use that download and move it to your computer folder where the blockchain would be stored. Syncing from there should be MUCH more recent

As one of those, Huntercoin wants specifically to be an MMO. I don't think it will ever be flashy and action-oriented enough to compete with World of Warcraft in terms of mainstream adoption, but I can see it competing with nerdier MMOs, like the types of people who play EVE Online... strategic. Imaginative. They like to pretend they're in a real world, and with the blockchain we can do that in an autonomous way that's more dynamic, alive and real.
Specifically a nerdier, turn based, World of Warcraftish MMO. One that is just as motivating for players, just as accessible for new players, doesn't make all players the dev's bitches, and with an in-game economy that is not a joke but for real. It's possible if we want it (and if we do look at what WoW does gameplay-wise and what it would never do).

Are you downloading the blockchain file domob uploaded? It makes things go faster. When fully updated, make sure to have a copy/backup of the entire blockchain. Easy to damage even without power failure (e.g. "Temporarily allow all this page" -> VM freezes -> bricked. Mount external drive to VM while blockchain on drive is online -> bricked) I do this at least once per week.

Just another FYI ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) you'll need someone to host a full node(s) for all those prune nodes to download from.. If everyone plans on running prune nodes only, then you're going to be in for a surprise, IE: changing wallets.dat has to be re-sync for all the check points to be found. Icon PS Any ideas/suggestion on my previous idea of changing to POS mining?

Dude are you being being serious ? My grammar is perfect I'm English... I think I know how to use grammer in my own language. It's funny how you insult me when you can't even use a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence which is the first thing you get taught when learning English. For example " i dont understand what are you talking about" this grammer is terrible. Firstly a sentence starts with a capital I. Secondly ita not "what are you" its " what you are" You never used a single capital in any of your sentences. So I think you should check yourself before pointing fingers. Anyway now that I have dealt with this rude person. I have had a power failure last night ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So I'm still downloading the blockchain. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) LOL. hahaha. i don't intend to insult, im just saying that I didn't understand what is your point because of your grammar. And using capital letter in the my first sentence is not a big deal because it is just a forum and not formal. Ok, im sorry if my word insulted you but im not intended that to you. cheers.

Icon PS Any ideas/suggestion on my previous idea of changing to POS mining? Well, I have ridiculously fast Internet and a splid state drive, so I may decide to keep the whole chain. My comp won't be on 24/7, though, so hopefully others will volunteer to do the same. As for PoS, SnailBrain is still mulling the whole mining question over. He does want a new mining system, but hasn't decided exactly what. Maybe you can influence the decision ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Well as long as i enjoy this game i'll be running a full node, just like i do with bitcoin ever since 2011 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Ya POS mining would be great make it same as mining reward 10% to miners and retarget every block,, just copy and paste old PPC source code and change a few variables ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Icon PS Been playing WoW since 2005

It's so big because it has a 30 s block time and every hunter creation and move on the game is a transaction, so it's got really fast blocks with a shitload of txs.

It's so big because it has a 30 s block time and every hunter creation and move on the game is a transaction, so it's got really fast blocks with a shitload of txs. First, Bitcoin's blockchain directory (the chain itself is admittedly a bit smaller, but the directory is what counts ultimately) is 90 GiB for me - the times of 20 GiB are long gone. Ethereum (which started much later) is already at 29 GiB. Second, the block time is one minute, not 30 seconds - and the chain is so big because there were times when bots issued hundreds or thousands of transactions per block; this has been "fixed" in the mean time by introducing small fees. Now the chain growth is almost nothing. Third, if you are worried about blockchain size, you can give Huntercoin Core (based on modern Bitcoin 0.13) a try and enable blockchain pruning. This should be able to work with only about 1 GiB of space usage.

Thanks a lot for all of your continued hard work on it.

Consider it beta - it should work for everything already, including mining. I manage my coin holdings with it already for quite some time. So if you are interested, give it a try - but be careful and just watch out for potential issues.

If its working that well we should probably be publicizing this and getting people and exchanges to switch over - the major issue from the start with Huntercoin has been the instability of the wallet along with the blockchain size - this update was to be the solution from what I understood. Honestly, while I really like this project, I have never been able to get the wallet to sync to completion and have had constant crashes with all wallet versions I've tried. Snailbrain - maybe the current Huntercore version should be included in the OP?

I'll try the new QT if you can tell me if Snailbrains Unity client will still work with 0.13 version also ever since i added more nodes to the original 1.3.01 qt not had a single disconnect or anything, that was my major issue running it before getting d/c all the time.

I'll try the new QT if you can tell me if Snailbrains Unity client will still work with 0.13 version also ever since i added more nodes to the original 1.3.01 qt not had a single disconnect or anything, that was my major issue running it before getting d/c all the time.
Snailbrain reported an issue that the client sometimes crashes on name_list - which apparently happens quite frequently running beneath the Unity Client. I haven't yet had time to reproduce or debug this, but hope to do that soon. So you can try it, but may run into that issue. care to provide a direct download link to the latest qt beta build cant seem to find it ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Unfortunately I don't have any builds, but you may ask snailbrain - I think he has. Not sure if there's already an official download link for that. Maybe he wants to fix the name_list issue first (but I'll leave that to him).

I was waiting to publicize Huntercore until the name_list issue was fixed, with the understanding that the beta would be pretty much over with that done. I'm hoping you guys testing it now don't find any new bugs, but we have to encourage you to look, anyways. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) I'll bother snailbrain to get ITT, because I don't know how to get on Huntercore, either... managing too many cryptocurrency projects, already. Apologies!
