Every 5 minutes, my wallet is not responding. This makes it really frustrating. Spending a whole day setting up, to watch your wallet not respond on te crucial moment. Timing is everything in this game... And know it's impossible.

use printtoconsole=1

in huntercoin.conf

also make sure your harddrive has a lot of free space or not fragmented (use defraggler on the datadir)

No, Snailbrain, that won't solve the problem.  The problem is that Qt hangs during network events.  And with 4000 avatars we have a LOT of network events. Here are the solutions from the Qt developers:

http://doc.qt.digia.com/qq/qq27-responsive-guis.html

Let me quote from the article:

"At QtCentre people come to us with the recurring problem of their GUIs freezing during long operations. The issue is not difficult to overcome but you can do it in many different ways, so I'd like to present a range of possible options that can be used depending on the situation you are dealing with."

"During the calculations (regardless of any usage of signals and slots) all event processing gets halted. As a result, the GUI is not refreshed, user input is not processed, network activity stops and timers don't fire—the application looks like it's frozen and, in fact, the part of it not related to the time-intensive task is frozen."

"...(a) variation is when a program has to trigger some activity (for instance a network download) and wait for it to be completed before continuing to the next step of the algorithm."

And that is OUR problem.  If you run the client in Qt Creator you will see that it freezes whenever there is a network event in the output of the compiler. But there are solutions:

"This variation of the problem is, in itself, easy to avoid when using Qt because most of the asynchronous tasks performed by the framework emit a signal when they have finished doing their job, and you can connect it to a slot that will continue the algorithm."

The article gives the actual code that is needed.  You need to talk to thecoder.

Sorry, but telling people to add "printtoconsole=1" to huntercoin.conf will not work.

Hi there!
A little update on what i'm doing!!



i've decided to implement the chat sistem splitting message based on team colour, (first chan will group all (general))

This is amazing! I can't wait to see more. The mini map feature is brilliant broski.

he can read don't worry

p.s. i have no issues with the windows client, with linux client running in a vmware simultaneously on the same machine..

not saying the issue you are talking about doesn't exist

and if people are getting insane hard disk activity.. printtoconsole will and does help - although maybe the qt is locking up for the reason you suggest also.. .be patient

response to your last post :

Potentially yes, but increases risk of necessity for rescan, if the client crashes.

"askfor block c5b81a18d346cec99bf4 1392240304000003"
Qt may be locked during some network operations to prevent crashing (as network code and GUI both use the same resources, i.e. block chain and wallet transactions). AFAIK Bitcoin also has these issues, except it's not as fast-paced as Huntercoin, so this is less noticeable.

will get him to check this post specifically to

keep feeding us info please

Location of Harvest Areas

and places where the crown can reset (purple circles)

and how many coins a day, appears to places marked in red?

they are split into the 4 sections.. the red area spawns a coin once per block in one of the 4 sections: 0.55/block

to try to make that a bit more sense... assume the top left quadrant of red areas is 1 "section", 0.55 coins will drop in one of those red areas, in each section, per block.

How can I create a new player from the command line? I tried name_new "name" , then I tried name_firstupdate but I cannot seem to get it to work? any help thanks?

check with namecoin (wiki)

and check block explorer for example first updates

[tuto]

So, Snail, that means, APPROX 3 coins, per red section on the map per hour. approx, assuming 1 block = 1 min.
0.55 coins / block = 0.55 x 60 = 33. 11 Red sections per 1/4 of the map = 3 coins per red section per 1/4 of the map?

What about the other colours?

For instance the outer edge areas (orange) and the light-blue coloured sections on the way towards the middle?

0.55 Red x4 = 2.2
0.4 Cyan x4 = 1.6
0.4 Yellow x4 = 1.6
0.4 Green x4 = 1.6
0.75 Gold/Yellow (all areas are combined) = 0.75
1 Central Pinkish Strip = 1

= 8.75

+ Crown of Fortune  = 0.25

+ Miner 1

=10

Please check - pretty sure i didn't make a mistake during design - i hope

A new project has been launched

Description:
An Advertising campaign reaching over multiple networks to raise awareness of Huntercoin

More information can be found on the forum thread for this project here: Advertising Project for Huntercoin

If you're interested in being a part of this project we need an Artist for creating 300x250, 160x600, and 728x90 banners.

Thanks snailbrain! You created a wonderful piece of software
Currently 47/100 HUC for starting the testing phase of the advertising campaign.

Here's the first ad created for the campaign

[snailbrain]

not bad.. .i think the writing at the top needs to be more visible. maybe it could have yellow outline..

also maybe fit in "Crypto Currency" - (maybe 'obtainable by harvesting in a game like world')


good motivation and enthusiasm - this is what Huntercoin needs

[snailbrain]

anyone want to look at the boost errors when closing down the client on linux?

50 HUC bounty to fix

[vastbitcoins]

Alrighty! Here's version 2 of our 300x250 Ad

I agree

I agree

i think the text at the top "The Worlds..."

is too compressed.. maybe try just "A Human Mineable..."

also not sure if dark brown has enough contrast to the back ground (Huntercoin).. maybe it's ok tho.. can carry this on other forum if you want

but.. how many views/clicks are we gunna get with such a small sum of donations?

Might be better with facebook ads, targeting the correct people

"Work from Home" lol (or maybe that is the Clan/Corp/Guilds job)

*Edit
Currently 67 HUC raised to fund the Huntercoin Advertising Campaign, Great work guys

looks better.. depends where it's going..

if it's going on some decent websites, we may need a proper graphics designer

but tbh, I think it's still good

A Graphics designer would probably do all the banners for less than 100$

keep going and when they are all ready, we can have a look and maybe use them as the "layout" for a designer, or just use them anyway...

I agree, I have a post open on HuntercoinTalk.com requesting an Artist to jump aboard the project. I'm sure one will stumble upon us.

The ads will be on many website, I will be using the A-Ads.com, And Bitads.net advertising networks. I'l hand pick the websites it's displayed on to ensure quality and will be tweaking the campaign as time goes on and funds allow. This could be a big positive influence on Huntercoin if the community pools together we could bring a substantial amount of attention our way. We're nearing our goal and the testing phase will begin soon.
