[ANN][0.8.6] Hirocoin - X11 - NGW - Secured Blockchain

It seems that HiroS is busy again. I plan on performing the hardfork once again so that we can solve the coin inflation issue.

This is the github from the updated source. The hardfork is planned at block 266,500. In order for it to be successful the new client must find block 266,501. I have arranged to have a large amount of hashrate pointed at the new client to prevent the upgrade issue we had last time.

To completely avoid this I ask that all pools still mining Hirocoin update to the newest client.

https://github.com/OmarxGx/Hirocoin

We should be on schedule to hardfork tomorrow afternoon. Once this update is in place I'll be working on a new Hirocoin website along with block explorer. I have another developer who should almost be finished with the new wallet GUI and will provide screenshots of the design when they are available to me.

You may also point your miners to stratum+tcp://hiropool.org:4008 to mine HIRO directly and be ready for the dynamic reward. Please register at http://hiropool.org/hiro first.

I have contacted Poloniex to update their client to resolve the freezing market issue. I will update this post to confirm that they will be ready for the hard fork tomorrow.

I have a lot of Hirocoins in my local wallet long term since month and didn't use and not even startet the wallet client. What should I do, how to update to the new client to not loose a coin?

Update to the newest client using the github I posted above. I will compile windows binaries shortly.

Is it also ok if I do nothing but wait till the new windows binaries are available?

Yes that is fine. Your coins will be safe.

Ok thanks, please confirm the exchanges agreed to fork.

Sorry mate but i always only incooperate and merge changes from the official github repo of a project, This has not been updated.

Attention: The update to the new client will be halted until Hiro himself has produced a statement approving the update.

There seems to be unwillingness to proceed with an update not from the main github account so I will postpone the update to prevent having two networks and chains.

Greetings,

Just to inform y'all that Suchpool reverted back to the official source.

It seems the hardfork is not well supported amongst the community and we will stick to the previous source unless things change. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thank you,

What a crap coin, sorry to say.
You were big a hope for a lot of people.
But you failed, fucker.

I can continue the development if the community agrees to upgrade to a client from my github. Hiro has seem to become busy these last few months. The dynamic reward system was coded by him though, it is actually under his development branch from the main github.

We can implement this system which should immediately provide relief for the HIRO market and reduce the number of coins produced daily. I can then implement features as requested by the community. I can set up a poll and we can vote on the desired features.

Hiro has said this is a long term project so I am merely just stepping in temporarily until he returns to continue development.

What does everyone think about this?

Omar, you're a good guy and I trust you have the best interest of the coin at heart. However, it's Hiro's coin and if he's just going to half-ass it and only show up when he's not working on other coins, what's the point? The coin is dead. Hiro abandoned it. He's not even putting in the minimum effort to keep it alive here. It's obvious he doesn't care. I guess in the end it was just some pump and dump coin he created and now he's off to other things. There are far better coins out there with active devs making real progress. Better to invest time and money in those than this waste of cash. I'm sorry I put as much money into it as I did. I had heard Hiro was a talented coder, and that this was his personal pet project, but it's apparent now that he's lost interest in it.

So have I...

Thanks for the resposne tempestb, I know you've been around for awhile. If I am voted in as interim developer hopefully I can rekindle your interest in Hirocoin until Hiro himself returns.

I have posted the poll and it is now open for voting.

Omar - you are quality. I think the community can see you have good intentions. I think most (if not all) Hiro holders have lost faith in Hiro. I'd be more open to having you take over completely. Hiro's absence and holier than thou behavior has me seeing him more as a liability rather than an asset.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. If the community does agree to have me take over temporarily I'd like to select a hardfork date / block # for when the dynamic reward system will be implemented. I feel that it's important that we do use this system sooner rather than later to help the ailing HIRO market.

From there merchant services to have HIRO usable would be the #1 priority then some branding refinement.

I was suggesting you take over *permanently.*
