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

[xiaotang]

I think they are human guild from China and they are organized very well.

one map one dream.

BGB bots make me Zero income (30+ teams) those few days

Not any action to central but always loot player(2~3 coins above) who are still insist to human mine

I'm not kidding. But is/are snailbrain or BGB or some devs are compromised by the central ppl? I smell some conspiracy in other community and feel so disappointed atm.

nope.. no conspiracy.

Central people seem to post on the huntercoin forum.

would be good if they donated to the huntercoin development fund

Cryptsy has been asked why they haven't put Huntercoin up yet, they said it it was technical problems with the deamon early on.  Has that been fixed?  If so let them know?

Edit: one more question, I'd like to download the client.  Where is the link to download the blockchain?  Where do I put the blockchain file after downloading?  Thanks.

Seems like I am the one that gets picked on the most. I do have some aggressive bots in the game, but I think there are a lot more other aggressive players/bots out there. Here are some thoughts:

- I have about 300 aggressive bot teams in the game. This is only 2% of all the teams. If you are continually picked off by the BGB bots, then you are simply unlucky.
- There are many imposters out there with BGB in their names. I can't help that, so maybe you are seeing some of those.

Recently it seems the game has become more aggressive. I have noticed bots/players lining up teams, then using an opposing color to clean out a coin area, then using their line of guys to pick up all the coins.  I have deployed some bot protectors in a few coin areas to help (so not all BGB are bad). I am surprised these aggressive tactics haven't been complained about as they seem harsher than my paired hunters targeting one player at a time.

Of course not to mention the players controlling the center areas of the map. If you don't like it do something about it! I dumped 1000 HUCs at the red spawn last week. I missed calculated the attack zone I setup and the attack failed. It took like 10-12 hours for the whole thing to happen and I wasn't able to be online to make adjustments when I needed to.

I've already sent a message (once a week)

no reply..
there are no technical problems except:
slow chain download... once downloaded it will be fine.
should limit max connections to 10 or something.. -maxconnetions=10 to reduce cpu/memory usage.

I will upload new block chain and ask them again when we release the next fees update.. maybe tomorrow.

They will add eventually.

check OP, has a link.

I've emailed them as well. Each time they tell me thank you for point out this new coin to them... lol argh

Hi there,
I want to share some news and thought about my Huntercoin: Mithril Edition client

In few days i should be able to publish my playable client (it's a beta, but full playable).
I've though a lot about how to release it and I ended up with a client that could be extended with future upgrades and not only client side but even server side (I kept an eye for centralized future solution and other things i've in mind that would be very nice)

I'm telling this because i had to introduce two things:
- Account
- Fee

Account is needed to play the game, when snailbrain will release centralized version of the cryptogame, it could be merged/shared with official account system, meanwhile (don't know about snailbrain ETA), I'll use it for some ideas i have:

bot market:
I've a plan about implementing a BOT interface into the game, that will allow players to code their bots and command them and share their creation with others players, using a market system (bot code uploaded to a server and then sold

social:
using my account system, i would be able to implement an offchain chat where people could send message to other players, private messages too, having a buddy list, etc...

bounties: e.g. someone could ask for help performing an action, and could put a bounty for that and people interested could join the action and get a share of the bounty

ladder system: to actract players, a ladder system could be funny: (e.g. the user with most kills, death, loot, hearts collected, etc...) (not based on player in game, but grouped on account, just for fun

(some of this features will be available only after the centralized system come out)


Fee
crypto world is about currency, people want to have a chance to gain something with that, me too.
while other invest, trade, etc..., i focused on creating a service that could give value to the coin
this mean i didn't played at all this game (except 1st week) because i'm coding, testing, releasing, explaining my client, so the only income i could have is with a fee system, after all this client could help a lot and this would give you chance to gain more HUCs (and save some, since with multiwaypoint feature you could save tx)
It's hard to implement a charge system out of the blockchain, so i tried something and i'll explain how the client works and behave when i'll release it.
At the moment, i've implemented a daily based fee: with 2 hucs you have access to the client for 24 hours, in a simple way
this value could change before release and will change in time, based on interest/usage, anyway with current huc value compared to $, it's really cheap (less then 0.2$) but i don't want to talk about fiat currency
after testing this fee system, if i found it works fine, i'll setup a weekly and monthly plan too to save even more hucs

fee collected will be used to implement ideas mentioned above (and new one, you are free to suggest new ideas!)


Sorry for the long post, but i've invested so much time on this coin because i believe in the idea behind it, that I'll do my best to enhance the cryptogame experience and i need the support of the community to go on along this way

P.S.
i've updated my website and you can already register here:
http://www.mithrilman.com/Account/Register
so you'll be ready when the client will be released

-I'm the one who is unlucky. Honestly speaking,  it's hard for human miner to bring coin back right now.
-Sorry for misunderstanding your effect work to red base(Central). It's good strategy to attack with yellow and recover with your red bots.
Below is my input for last week attacking:
     1.  1000  team are almost close to attack down the red base
     2.  The red team is human control to defense(Chinese communities)
     3.  Most of the team are settle and killed on the way, the bots can set to self-destroy with setting like: 10 + reds around
I think a successful attack will make you profit

-I'm the one who is unlucky. Honestly speaking,  it's hard for human miner to bring coin back right now.

during my recent tests with my client i was able to collect coins, trickying bots and taking advantage of bots destructions
just having a visual clue of where a bot is going and how much it will take, could help you planning a strategy to steal his income or to destruct it
visual clue helps even on understanding how bots are working, learning from their moves (know your enemy!)

you'll have a chance to test if yourself soon

absolutely right,  MM client's visual clue help me a lot, appreciated!
I lost coin just simply sent the hunter to spawn area, not much time those days to take care of all my hunters

[MithrilMan]

just to update things about my client: this is currently under test, if all it's fine it could be released tomorrow or the day after
i need even to write a guide about many stuff about the client (doh!)

anyway time has come!

[BayAreaCoins]

Great volume today! :D

[wiggi]

I just realized that Huntercoin is the most privacy-centric coin in existence.

The game works as one giant mixer. (this wasn't even a design goal, right? )
And a non aggressive bot like BGB's demo can convert coins into newly mined, pristine ones.
It's the perfect solution for anonymity while things like Zerocoin or Darkcoin will come up with imperfect solutions.

Um ya it is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread

Here comes the news!!!

Full Huntercoin: Mithril Edition (beta) Released!!!

http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin/Download

For few days there will be no fee applied (thanks BayAreaCoins for his donation), so rush to get it now and report anything (features request or bugs or whatever!)

there are a lot of features and some are a little bit "hidden", I'd need to write down a guide but i'd prefer to spend time coding next features like bot programming and bot protection, so feel free to collaborate doing videos or "how to" for the community, huntercoin need help from everybody!
I'll link or publish your guides to the main site!

meanwhile i just want to state here some shortcuts (very handy).


CTRL+ H: hide all the interface (useful to see what happen behind floating windows)

Holding CTRL while having your own hunter selected and right clicking on a walkable tile, will add a waypoint to that destination, this way you can build up a complex path!!!
(Holding SHIFT + right mouse click compute a straight path instead)

if you want to track down an enemy path even when he moves, select him and click "Show Directions" on Target window (it's toggable so you can switch that setting)
(read the getting started guide on my site to have some help)

there is a lot to talk about but now i really don't have the strength to do so, need to sleep

Give me feedback, thanks
