Time for a HYPER update! (long!)

I just got back online and I'm working through the flood of PM's I have as we speak, and I am dedicated and focused on moving this coin and associated projects forward.

Important news:

- HYPER is now on http://coinmarketcap.com/ this is great news and 100 out of 300 for a 5 day old coin is very good indeed.

- HYPER is now on http://whatmine.com

- Market stabilization fund will be launching BEFORE the PoW phase is over, so we can start keeping HYPER price stable beginning asap. I will post another update regarding this later today. This may be done with an IPO and the BTC raised can also be used to hire developers for the MMO.

- MMO Outreach Coordinator Gladimir is focused on HYPER becoming an MMO in-game currency in other MMOS, or tradeable for other in-game currencies on informal exchanges. A lot of good ideas regarding this and we are actually going to be taking action on this sooner than you may think!

- HYPER was on Yahoo Finance: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cryptocurrency-hyper-sponsoring-space-mmo-161300553.html

- MMO update. OK I know a lot of people are wondering what is happening with the HYPER MMO in more detail. There has been plenty of discussion on the topic in our freenode as well as on the forums.. Anyone can join the discussion on #hypercrypto and also on the forums at: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0

Here are some of the best ideas we have so far:

There is a great discussion going on in freenode #hypercrypto regarding ideas for the space MMO.

Some of the best ideas so far:

- Use real star systems / planets so players can "own" real planets and systems. Perhaps add in more planets to populate the universe more but star systems can be 100% based on current star maps.

- Different technologies, planets and races can produce different resources which are then traded with other players and can also be traded for HYPER which will be the premium game currency.

- Have research like plasma thrusters which enable ships to move faster etc. Have a research and tech tree like any classic space 4X game

- Players can perhaps start in a spaceship. Perhaps their planet has been destroyed by some kind of disaster. They are seeking new worlds to explore and to rebuild civilization. Much like Homeworld the old classic PC game.

Discussion is also taking place here: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?topic=124.0

And anyone can contribute ideas in the bitcointalk thread here obviously!

Other current good ideas:

- Game will be browser based. Eventually, when HYPER has more funds we can do a build for windows / mac etc.

- Alpha will be launched as quickly as possible with perhaps just a few alien races (including humans) and a smaller universe which will then be expanded as we keep building the game.

- It will be a space MMO 4X game and players' empires will remain in the game world when they log off. When they log back in again they can manage their interactions with other players and the growth of their galactic empire which earns them HYPER.

We are still looking for general feedback and ideas so I will repost again points of discussion which can be raised:

I agree. There are 5 areas of discussion which I would like to open up to the community. This is a community project and I don't want to just call all the shots:

1. Discussing the HYPER MMO game world and background story to the MMO

2. Game mechanics. Should it be real time? Do we want a strategy game, like a 4x MMO? This was actually my original vision but I am not sure if this would be too ambitious at this stage. My vision is for players to build and grow an intergalactic empire which earns them HYPER, and which will remain the same until the next time the player logs in. Players will also be able to interact and form alliances and trade agreements etc with other players. So we would end up with a huge HYPER universe of players and their empires. Later we could add features where players can explore the universe by piloting one of their ships around the galaxy etc in cockpit view. Players should be ble to choose from a number of alien races (or humans) to play as, and could perhaps also create a custom race. There will be artificial and biological races and some races will be able to thrive in different atmospheres to Earth's (for example sulphur based life).

3. Open source resources and frameworks to use. We need to start compiling open source space tools / graphics / images / designs which we can incorporate into the game. The game itself may be open source this is still to be decided. We could make the game closed source so that it is an asset of the HYPER community.

4. The coding foundation. I'll be honest with you guys we will probably need a professional that we pay well to manage this aspect. Suggestions on game engines and frameworks to look at are gratefully accepted.

5. Any HYPER profits from the game could be compounded back into the market stabilization fund or other HYPER projects. While the game will earn HYPER for players, they will also be able to purchase game upgrades such as extra worlds and technologies etc for HYPER.

Should we have this discussion here or shall I open threads on the HYPER forum?

Any feedback gratefully accepted Feedback will be incorporated into a preliminary document. A wiki might be a good way to discuss these aspects of the game and perhaps I should set one up. Remember that anyone is welcome to join the discussion, and contribute their unique skillset and passions.

This is a long term project guys so I don't think it is responsible to have ETAs yet as we are still establishing the fundamentals of the game.

If anyone wants to contribute to HYPER and earn bounties for doing so they can check out the giveaways on the forum: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0

More updates coming very soon, I've had a flood of PMs from people wanting to help both HYPER as a currency, and the HYPER MMO succeed

There are some great ideas in the coin and I am very hopeful for its success, especially for the game part of it. If the game is really widespread we could be seeing something extraordinary in the altcoin space..I am doing my first blog review of the Coin now will post in a little bit.

with more and more publicity, it might be a good idea to have a uniform logo chosen and posted in the OP so it can be used in these types or articles and/or listings.

Great idea those spacesuits look really cool

Added to my ever growing document about ideas / concepts for the MMO.

[Gladimor]

Here is a simple gameplay concept example. So basically, in order for a player to succeed in the MMO, they'd have to run a successful mining operation. The more the better. Resources are the basis of a proper army and civilization. In the concept below, it gives a brief example of a small-scale mining operation on an extremely valuable and rare resource called Verenium. This concept took an hour to make. A much more detailed one will be made once I purchase a professional drawing tablet and Adobe Photoshop. My HYPER donation address is in my signature.



Outpost 51. Well defended, not only by the infamous F-115 Falcons but by the treacherous 5000 MM double-barrel cannon mounted on top of the space station- capable of puncturing the thickest of hulls. It goes well defended with reason, as it is excavating an asteroid rich in the famed and precious resource called Verenium. A single outpost protecting a mining operation of a single asteroid is something rarely seen- but the Verenium ore taken from the core of the asteroid could cover the cost of the operation one hundred times over.

Mining will be one way players can gain resources for sure Some civilizations / alien races might be opposed to / not utilize mining for cultural reasons and will have other resources they can acquire and sell

Here are the concept art images Gladimor is referring to:

These first sketches are looking very good.

[HYPERfuture]

These first sketches are looking very good.

Yes Gladimor is doing an awesome job. I have a friend who is designing some of the alien races societies / cultures / beliefs that players can play as, and is working on concept art for that too

5000 MM cannon? How much that is in meters?

Good job on the intro, looking forward to rest

Interesting name.

[HYPERfuture]

Interesting name.

Thanks Took a while to come up with that one, but I thought it was suitably science fiction / gaming style and cool.

[HYPERfuture]

After spending most of today consulting with members of the HYPER community, and other members of this forum who have kindly offered their advice, this is what's going to happen within the next 1-3 days regarding premine transparency:

1. 500 000 HYPER of the premine will be given to a trusted member of bitcointalk to hold in escrow for at least 1 month, or until the community trusts me to manage the fund. It can be held for longer than a month if the community agrees. This is the the fund for the core HYPER space MMO development. The escrow will have to approve any deductions from the principal of this fund. Deductions will only take place to fund the MMO development and pay people who are contributing. The wallet will be opened daily so coins can compound increasing the value of the fund.

2. Two other funds will be set up and managed by myself: 1 (ONE) fund for HYPER marketing, and 1 (ONE) fund for MMO outreach purposes and bounties for getting developers to develop plugins so HYPER can be integrated into existing gameworlds etc. Again this fund will stake daily and any deductions from the principal will be shown and explained.

Fund activity for all 3 funds will be entirely transparent via the HYPER blockchain.

The community will be able to see the balances of these funds at any time.

The remaining HYPER will be used for general bounties, until HYPER has reached the market cap I am gunning for (a very high one). When enough bounties have been paid, these bounty funds will be rolled over into one of the other funds.

This will all take place within 1-3 days. I'm waiting to hear back from a few hero members here regarding management of the 500 000 principal.

3. An IPO is still being considered to raise BTC for the Market Stabilization fund, if this does go ahead the market fund will be BTC only, there is no point dedicating HYPER to the Market Fund, and selling HYPER on the exchange right now as this will only lower the price. If the IPO and fund go ahead, then the BTC will be used to hold HYPER value stable and increase the price on the exchanges. HYPER which is purchased as a result of the funds activity will be rolled over into one of the other funds for staking, until HYPER exchange rate and volume can absorb strategic selling of small amounts to increase BTC in the fund for more market making. Until this is possible the HYPER purchased will be kept in one of the other funds so it can stake with those coins. Of course, if we do go ahead this the IPO will take place through a trusted member.

To clear up any misunderstanding: the Market Stabilization Fund was always only going to be established after HYPER PoW stage is over.

Thanks guys, I will be providing further updates over the next few days as we move forward, all of these initiatives (except the IPO - it is still being decided by myself and other members of the community if the IPO is a good idea), will launch within the next 1-3 days.

More updates on the fun stuff - the space based MMO we're working on soon.

[Cohle]

Thank you for the update. Things are looking less dire. Hopefully support returns when the pre-mine funds are allocated as outlined.

Thanks If it doesn't the miners have missed out, that is all. HYPER is a long term project myself and other members of the team are serious about. I am moving as fast as I can to establish all of the above asap, and I will post updates as soon as I have them.
