Newbie Investor here...
I like the in-game micropayments idea. Was wondering if huntercoin takes off it could be adopted more broadly as in-game micropayment currency of choice?
Rationale behind my thinking was that Huntercoin seems to appeal to a mass audience in that anyone can mine, play, earn (I'm not sure what to call it) without specialist hardware*. This seems to be appealing to the masses in that there's about 10k players on there at the moment at anyone time and they are getting another thousand or more every week. I read an article which said that many of the players are chinese because they can earn more playing huntercoin than they can going to work because the wages are so low. China has like billions of people so if they all start using the currency the rest of the world will surely follow?
* ok, they aren't quite there yet but it seems like they are working on a solution to avoid the need for a SSD, RAM drive, or a lot of patience. I have an old laptop and have tried it. I'm in the the lot of patience category. Works fine but the PC needs to be on all the time and the first time I downloaded the blockchain was an overnighter! Still, I managed to make 400 HUCs (250 bucks) in about 10 hours at the keyboard which wasn't so bad.
best,
