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

[snailbrain]

So, I am trying again this morning. While the sync issues seem fixed, most of the same problems persist:

- I've "mined" hundreds of coins, just to see them disappear again. Edit: this happens regardless of using the wallet or huntercoind.exe to mine.
- CPU/Drive usage is unacceptable. Same issues happen for me while using huntercoind.exe for mining as well. Still get random freezes, crashing even while the wallet is sync'ed
- The debug log is huge. I have a 6MB log after just a little mining. I went and compared to another coin I solo'd for a week and that log is under 4MB.

Next Steps:

Devs, you have to pull the plug on this version of the launch. There are problems beyond simple patches I think. If it were me i'd:

- Announce a halt alongside a roadmap to relaunch
- Figure out how to optimize the client (maybe you need to split into multiple versions)
- Take this opportunity to get feedback on the game. If you do decide to halt this coin, this is a great opportunity to get some feedback on the "fun" factor of the game. People need to want to play this for it all to succeed. I have no idea on the fun factor as I wasted all my time just trying to get a wallet to run.

I think most people here see that this coin can be something special, but in it's current form small patches aren't going to resolve the issues.

I know some people are able to mine/play this, but you can also address this too in the next version of the launch by simply increasing the pre-mine and allowing people to exchange the old coins for new ones.

Finally, this needs to be tested under real mining/playing load. Before you try to roll it out again, ask us to help test it. I know i'd be happy to donate my rigs time for a day or so to help troubleshoot for no reward, but only if there is a clear roadmap to success here.

you should have "stuck with it" like i said to everyone else..
those that gave up because they could't make any coins in the first few hours - is tough -


there are no problems i can see now, except high disk activity on windows.. this unfortunately cannot be avoided atm.. you just need to be patient for the chain to download..

when it was screwed up at the start.. no one had mined any coins on the map

HAIL TO THE KING MORRROOO OF THE GREEN KINGDOM!

wow, I brought back my 200 HUC to the spawn area, got the game reward (184.36 coins)... which translated to 0
is this another bug / most rewards end up orphans as mining ??

How many coins do you need to create a player?

if you are out of sync, you need to be patient for chain to download.. on windows the client will become "not responding", jsut leave it -- this is the same for namecoin.

If you have an ssd this works like a dream.. or ram drive (but be careful)...

personally i find it better running on ubuntu, in a vmware in windows

i'm going to carry on the new giveaway thread on dot-bit forum

You need to pay to create a player?

yes, 1.005 HUC. I would have helped but since I didn't get any credit when bringing back my coins to the spawn area, I guess it'll be for another day

Launching this coin without faucet was a major flaw.

thanks for staying on top of this snailbrain... downloaded your update and it looks like it might eventually get there... its currently on 9598 and stull syncing. Never got above 3000 yesterday. Looks like I will get to keep 65 of my 1k mined from getting on the wrong fork. So that is good. Hopefully I will get some time to play the game today.

So after the new wallet is synced, and balance is 0, it means it got on a fork somewhere?

and why does transactions count remain in overview, but not in transactions list? Alls i got from snail was 'be patient'. Well it's synced now and the only that remains is payment for creation of hunter.

[snailbrain]

do not post addresess in here..

for giveaway use this.. .when my wallet syncs i will start giving out
