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

[MithrilMan]

- statistic window introduced (crown has the color of the owner)
this is a testnet screnshot so don't care data inside

- added ability to hide/show GUI with CTRL+H (there are plenty windows floating around and sometime can be useful to hide them all to see some corner

 plan now is to move the radar, adding it into a tab in the "My Troop" window, with the ability to toggle hunters color (so you can see only red, blue, etc.. or a mix)

Too slow, too complex for mass adoption. Not everyone is happy with this level of pissing about, and half the people I've introduced to HUC think the resources it uses mean it's a virus. Until it runs faster, syncs faster and uses much fewer resources it's going to be a slow haul. I can happily rin Cryengine2 games with no noticable effect on this machine , yet this simple game cripples it. Even when syncing ...when I can't play.

Fucking waste considering it's possible for all to get involved in theory. Get an SSD? You EVER been advised to do that with any software and who will buy one just to mine a coin they are trying out? A new coin?

Don't ignore the fact that this is far from a playable game or easy on resources. It will die. What a waste.

A lot of the issue is how QT works. MM's client is coming out, and uses a different technology, and it's a lot smoother with no freezing/not responding.

Im a big HUC fan but I have to agree with timmers, mithrilmans client will most likely improve the gameplay, but the real issue is the synching/resource hogging part since most people I introduced to HUC aren't able to finish the syncing part they just quit and told me their laptop froze, not everyone's aware of ramdisk and knows how to use datadir and most normal laptops doesn't have the capacity to free 2-3gb ram for ramdisk or built in with ssd it would take days to sync 5 weeks of blocks using a normal day to day laptop, I reckon we lost a lot of potential players due to this, so while waiting for a fix, I suggest instead of pointing the wallet link directly to mediafire, maybe point it to a post explaining how to install ramdisk + datadir and how to upload the recent blockchain if they don't have enough ram so new players with normal laptops wouldn't have to sync from the start then wallet and updatedblockchain download link after the tutorials.

Any chance of a Mac version sometime soon?

I have Mac-only friends wanting to give it a try!

Can't you build it from source on OSX?

[MithrilMan]

i forget to mention that i'll put updates about my client here on this page i've created just to stick news in one place:

https://www.facebook.com/MithrilMan

Its very good to emphasize the issues but what now?  Despite its problems, Huntercoin will chug along until all the kinks are ironed out.  The idea is simply too compelling.

I suggest that the current developers (Snailbrain, Pompobit, Domob, Mithril Man etc) start to hold regular meetings on IRC to iron out all issues.  Maybe once or twice a week.  Dump the transcript, and then everyone gets assigned a topic to sort out.  Freicoin did that, and it really helped the currency to move forward. The developers of actual games like Worldforge, Glest and openDUNE should also be invited.

I am not sure who started the #huntercoin channel on freenode, but that is probably the best place to start.

Poloniex got hacked tonight. Do not transfer coins there until they post about what happened ect. The site owner says that they have patched the problem ect and it appears only 5 users holding BTC got effected (that is just troll box thus far, but the site is frozen.)

https://twitter.com/Poloniex?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fpoloniex.com%2Fexchange%2Fbtc_huc&profile_id=2288889440&tw_i=440616436575121409&tw_p=embeddedtimeline&tw_w=429695127934611456

Not sure if HUC are safe there (I am currently holding some there.)

Just a summary on Poloniex, so everybody can read it here.

Huntercoin balances are not affected. Bitcoin balances are, but will be reimbursed.
Apparently somebody found an error, which let him withdraw more than he had in his account. 12.3% of Bitcoins (not funds, just bitcoins) were stolen. Poloniex said they will deduct 12.3% of all Bitcoin balances for now - again, just Bitcoin -  and reimburs everybody once they have made enough funds from fees.
They said trading and withdrawals will be frozen for another 10 hours or so.

I think they handled it very well.

Just a note:

Although i may not post here about what is happening in the background all the time (although probably i post more than every other altcoin dev)-

We are working in the background with pools, exchanges, miners, developers. I'm emailing / pm'ing /chatting 8+ hours a day... there are many many devs/people working on Huntercoin, in many different areas.. probably more than any other coin bar bitcoin/namecoin

All problems will be sorted ...

for now, put up with it, it isn't really that bad considering the jump we have done from "altcoin" to huntercoin

I understand some people are frustrated with syncing etc, but don't worry.. what ever it takes, Huntercoin will be the best

The amount of stuff in the pipeline is going to make Huntercoin >> very good

---

For syncing from scratch, for now:
You can download the entire blockchain (mostly) in the OP
You can use a Ram Drive (takes a couple of hours max to download the chain [if have fast internet)
You can use an SSD (takes 3 or 4 hours)

-

In the "near" future:

Players will not need to download the block chain
Graphics can be improved
Will be an advanced alternative client (Mithrilman)
Will be able to play in Browser/Mobile Devices and Tablets - instant login anywhere in the world
and more

sounds great 

[roslinpl]

sounds great 

It does for sure!

I hope it will be so great as it sounds..

[heskey]

Im exclusively holding HUC for now. The decline in price aint foolin me!

[Sanglotslongs]

HUC top 20 Market Cap in few month

[ScroogeD]

So, why are there only a few pools to merge mine. Had to google translate this Chinese pool to figure out, what this is all about...
Is it also possible to mine it directly without the merge?

Bump

HUC top 20 Market Cap in few month

Yeah, it's so unique and devs working hard.
I'd guess, some time soon big promotion will start with news all around the gaming sites

 So one person will get 10 coins or everyone who follows the 3 steps?

[PatMan]

Snailbrain, have you tried having a chat with rsnel about the daemon/merge mining crash? He's pretty clued up on the whole thing.....

[RenegadeMind]

you can travel in time ;

Every now and then, the cosmic forces that run the multiverse end up with a few stale shares and orphaned seconds, which forces them to mine more time. We're not sure what algo they're using, but apparently time is merge mined, so it doesn't matter much.
