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

[wiggi]

Also, how do you prune a blockchain already downloaded? I have the 13.x GB chain downloaded and want to prune it down to 1 GB.

If this is the Huntercore blockchain, add "prune=550" in huntercoin.conf. But then you can't rescan anymore, or bring in an old wallet (because client would want to do a (full or partial) rescan.

Especially if you don't have lots of download bandwidth, don't prune. Keep (and backup if not out of disk space) the unpruned chains of both old Huntercoin (which can't be pruned) and Huntercore, if you have them already.

U should strap the chain and upload a handy bootstrap file to ur site. U wont fit in life if u dont do that.

you can download the chain for the old client here chain.huntercoin.org (7gb ish download)

for Huntercore, i've not re-uploaded the pruned chain due to a bug whilst playing. doesn't affect the hardfork or the chain in anyway as far as we can tell, it's just a client issue with pruning - possibly pruning something it shouldn't.

the bug - when using the pruned chain, if you create a hunter with a thirdparty client and attempt to move it, you may get an insufficient coins error message (in the log).
no point uploading the pruned chain with the installer again yet, until sorted. Domob is aware and is looking into it.

hopefully will be sorted this weekend and I will re-upload it for you.

When will huntercore be ready for mining? Does it have submitblock and getblocktemplate functions?

i think it has but are disabled (I will let domob respond).

atm we don't recommend mining with it until after the fork. but if you want to help test some, that would be great.

I've uploaded here a windows installer without the pruned chain - it will sync from scratch. should take 24hours on a decent connection and decent machine. it will be extremely slow from blocks 70-240k but will then be much faster.

don't use the prune option yet please - or you may lose some hunters

compiled it and just syncing now, but I see that gbt isn't active so I don't think I'll be able to mine it. submitblock seems to be there though.

I have a feeling situation with mining will worsen after the chain starts kicking, post fork. Dream on about clean network. I will flood it with orphans and dust spam to restrict the connections to legit nodes. I call it protectionist philosophy.

So let me get this straight, there is no use atm running a prune node, due to missing hunters?

You can't play the game, but you can still use the wallet with the pruned chain. I have some coins on mine, actually. So it's useful if you don't trust Poloniex to be your wallet. I don't plan on playing until after the fork, anyways... we still have some time

[Icon]

Ok, to clarify once the fork has happened can we play with a prune node?

The two are not directly related. I'm waiting for the fork because it will improve the gameplay. I'm just guessing the bug will be fixed by then as a matter of timing

compiled it and just syncing now, but I see that gbt isn't active so I don't think I'll be able to mine it.

I know there has been conversation about this before, but I've not been able to find out if merge mining NMC has been fixed or if it actually works anymore. I've scanned the NMC forum but can't find any definate answer, so can only presume that if HUCcore is based on NMCcore then merge mining will also be broken with HUC also? That sucks if I'm correct.

I'm using NMC on my pool now without issues, but yes, in the past it didn't work either....

Hi crackfoo,

Do you know if merge mining with p2pool is working again also?

that.... I'm not sure of. I've never looked into p2p...

As far as I know, merge-mining with neither NMC nor the new HUC client is "broken".  GBT is disabled at the moment since it caused difficulties with a planned change in NMC and seems pointless for merge-mining, but apparently people are still using it for controlling their mining.  See discussion in https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin-core/issues/98.  It will probably be re-enabled "soon" and then become available also in HUC.

ok. ahh I see... I guess I did use a fork of the nmc-core that put gbt back in....

Regarding pruned chain issue - the problem seemed to be only when you had less than 200 hucs in your wallet.

domob has done a fix and i will update the repo asap.

it seems the old pruned chain (if you have it), should work fine for playing as long as you have over 200 hucs in your wallet.
Otherwise be patient while i update the repo, build binaries, and make/upload the new windows installer.

[snailbrain]

I've updated all the links to Huntercore binaries.

All-in-One Huntercore Installer 0.13 + pruned chain + unity3d (<500mb) > https://mega.nz/#!gIVXUaYD!kvwLruozyLjXlvZjjU43oJzJ4Tn1qn-3f0K3clShu4I

Huntercore 0.13 + Unity3d Client > https://mega.nz/#!lU1WUDwb!S0qiHjC_2KjADxqnTuDw358R9TUFQsRhLBRW1tfzu_0

any issues let us know

[Icon]

Do we need to update huntercore also  or just the prune node? for the 200 or less coins issue?

BTW Thanks

Icon


PS

Does unity client need updating too?
