500 HVC give away for re-tweeting https://twitter.com/cryptrader

I already Did. So How i get the 500 HVC

I think is for only one

yeah gonna use random.org to pick one of the re-tweeters.

It is your twitter account?

Yes my twitter account. are you gonna give the 500 HVC ?

I'm asking bradmurmz, because he post the message

Oh, sorry. yeah it is... Trying to promote HVC and the platform at the same time.

CryptoALTeX would like to thank everyone for supporting us as the first exchange that listed HeavyCoin.  In order to generate traffic and hopefully increase volume for all coins we have created a new program called, "Get Listed".  Details of the program are below.

Thanks again all.

 
Want your favorite coin listed on CryptoALTeX?

Welcome to CryptoALTeX's Get Listed Program

The Get Listed program offers some unique ways to get a coin listed.  Each registered user gets 1 vote per day for their coin.  You can also donate .001BTC to your coins posted address on our "Get Listed" page.


Each vote or .001BTC donation generates a "Chance" at being listed. The coin with the most chances after 3 days will automatically be listed on our site. The remaining coins that have a minimum of 100 chances will have their chances entered into a random selection which we will live stream and record. The coin that wins, will be listed. All unselected chances will roll over to the next drawing.

This means that the big money coins won't always win, giving the little guy a chance. 

Want your coin added? Please enter a ticket at https://cryptoaltex.freshdesk.com with some information about your coin and we will generate a deposit address and place your coin into the contest!

Next drawing: Wednesday at 8PM UTC

Please visit, https://www.cryptoaltex.com/index.php?page=newcoin to see the current coins and votes.

CryptoALTeX reserves the right to list any coin at any time regardless of the drawing. Any coin listed for trading on CryptoALTeX that is already part of the drawing will have its chances removed from the drawing. In the event CryptoALTeX decides to list the top two coins of the week, the other coins will still have a random drawing.


Thanks all and feedback is always welcome,

Chiznitz

I see all the exchanges are starting to get this bribery into their program

Really tempted to buy some HVC but without dev. updates, no confidence in this coin yet. Oh the temptation.

Temptation or the fear that you might miss an opportunity ? =)))
I know the feeling , and it's not the best around.

Devs posted updates today about GPU ect... just not in this thread.

Update

Here's an update from the Heavycoin developers.

Stratum-mining

We have released the stratum-mining software today.  It has been made compatible with 1GH's private closed source stratum-server, so you should be able to switch your external miners between the different pools.  Although 1GH is easy to set up, we strongly recommend you to spread your mining among many pools in order to improve decentralization.

• stratum-mining-heavycoin - Fork of the stratum-mining server for Heavycoin - https://github.com/heavycoin/stratum-mining-heavycoin
• cpuminer-heavycoin - An updated cpuminer supporting Heavycoin hashing, voting and 1GH compatability - https://github.com/heavycoin/cpuminer-heavycoin
• heavycoin-hash-python - Heavycoin hash python module - https://github.com/heavycoin/heavycoin-hash-python
• php-mpos-heavycoin - A forked MPOS that puts voting on the UI to improve transparency - https://github.com/heavycoin/php-mpos-heavycoin

GPU mining

It looks like GPU developers have overcome hefty1, giving GPUs an advantage for mining Heavycoin.  We tried some new ideas with hefty1, but much to our disappointment it was not enough.  So, we must take our hats off to the GPU mining developers.

On the one hand, this is disappointing to us because we worked hard to try to make Heavycoin CPU-only forever.  On the other hand, this could actually be good thing because it means Heavycoin is now opened up to a new crowd of stakeholders and interests.  The amount of GPU mining interest Heavycoin is receiving is a very positive sign.

We would like to dispel the myth that GPU mining means an increased or faster increase in the supply of Heavycoin.  This is simply not true because the Heavycoin retargeting algorithm is working well to maintain the desired mint rate of 1 block (approximately) every two minutes.

Block chain: 2014-03-17 16:22:42 | 6744 | last 588.22656250 1b6f6941 1.242 | 1hr 575.72888184 1b71d462 0.975 117.000 | 24hr 120.93071747 1c021dec 0.958 114.904 | last 149

We are happy that Heavycoin was (at least) able to give CPU-miners the first week of mining, which is often the most profitable window to mine (as the difficulty has much to adjust).  At this point we would like to ascertain to what degree Heavycoin is GPU-resistant (eg. how much CPU does it still require in order to GPU mine) before updating our website.

Our plan going forward to is to continue to support the core Heavycoin software, assist mining pools wherever possible and support the Heavycoin community with the bounties and future development fund.

it actually was this thread

I feel like they handled that well... Many other "CPU only" coins were turned GPU, and the fact that it was done so fast must mean there is some serious interest in this coin.

Look out folks we cracked the 2% of the network, better jump in before it's too late and we have to close registrations.

24 hour volume on mintpal still around 50BTC... someone is buying up those coins.

[mafostedu]

http://heavychain.info/ seems down   

I hope their server(s) don't crash with sudden rise of hashing power rush 

Otherwise all GPUs which are running at low temperature compared to scrypt mining will be Ice-Cool

Yup , there are still buy orders around. Hope that bitcoin going down won't make people fleeing again to fiat.

Coins that are not scrypt based, and so cannot be mined and dumped by multipools, have some potential.

Also, miners, traders and long-term holders are also hopefully seeing a few writings on the wall. Even "whale" traders entering with big $ into the scene got burned by dumps (e.g. Maxcoin, which isn't scrypt but was a mine&dump fest either way which I witnessed at the mcxNow trollbox) and moved money out of crypto, so hopefully the rest of us are not dumb enough to dig the hole further. Again, I hope ...

A single person is intelligent. People en masse are quite irrational and very very dumb.  Hope and wishful thinking has nothing to do with it. Fear and greed will drive the value of these coins, nothing more- nothing less.

[bradmurmz]

HVC also currently has the third largest volume out of all the coins on mintpal, right under Spaincoin and Blackcoin. Seems like it might be primed for a serious run up from here soon...

Block reward decreased to 725 HVC

It's not just a matter of wishful thinking, it's if people can or cannot stop being dumb and realize they are actually screwing themselves with brainless immediate dumps. The bet is that yes they can, because it's already hitting where it hurts.

See what, for example, multipool dumps have done to scrypt Pow based coins. What long-term investor is going to pick those and be on the wrong side of the dump?? I could even go back and actually criticize middlecoin a bit less than the others, because in July 2013 it was experimentalism, the guy keep quiet about coins he was mining, and he actually traded and sold carefully. With 10+ now that just hop, mine and sell (and even exploit with proxies and Doge "random" blocks), scrypt is sterile ground. This leaves an opportunity for multipool incompatible coins

I'm also saying this because I actually belong(ed) here, and frustrated for contributing to kick my own ass and destroy other people's value alongside with it. I also joined such bandwagons for the quick easy satoshis. How many of us do, from small miners to large datacenters with Gridseed asics? Learning takes time, but be sure it's faster when one gets screwed.

Too bad they drive in different directions, And currently fear is holding the steering wheel.

Are the bounties complete??? I have a very poor hasrate  managed to mine only 10 coins in 4 days!
