Is there anything interesting in Hiro or is it dead ? Any future plans for Hiro
Plenty of future plans for Hirocoin. Take a look over the last page to see what has been going on. We very recently launched a unique feature for Hirocoin not seen in another coin :p We have the ability to import private keys from QR codes within the client software itself. We would not develop such a thing if we were not aiming for the moon
We are here to catch the flood of people leaving Scrypt coins looking for somewhere good to move their funds to. There will be an exodus and for those paying attention we have proved ourselves.
Right now I am helping Evan Duffield on Darkcoin. We are putting in a solution to secure the blockchain against attacks. It is only going to be a matter of time before X11 coins get the sort of attacks that are common on Scrypt. Hirocoin is secure and we are making sure that Darkcoin is also going to be secure.
Once I have finished working on Darkcoin I will be back and plan to implement a in client block explorer. Sounds like a sensible thing to have.
Good news is that Bitcoin seems to be on the rise at the minute, this is good news for everyone.
Yes help by working on Darkcoin which is doing fine and has plenty of people to work on it. Hiro is "safe" but what use is that when it's price is tanking. A day is an eternity in crypto. By the time you get back to Hiro it will be too late. It won't be long until Bittrex delist HIRO and then it truly is dead.
It's as if we tell the Hiro team that it's raining outside, and they respond by describing the color of their sweaters. Whether or not it's intentional, the point gets completely lost in a sea of kindness and assurances. Don't get me wrong - much nicer than if the team came back at us with profanity and rudeness, but their responses are often ineffective with regards to the coin's value, real or perceived by the market. I do not look to the Hiro team and blame them entirely for the price of the coin - this has many many factors. I do, however, look to the team for staying relevant within the world of crypto, but dare anyone suggest they change their original and very archaic plans for the coin, we are labeled unethical and here to do harm only. And now I read that Hiro is off helping Darkcoin? Like the other community members pointed out, shouldn't it be the other way around? Dark is doing something very very right, and it is reflected in the coin's value, the enthusiasm of the Dark community, and the market's perception of the coin. Every time I check in on this thread to see what the team is up to, I notice that the mere fact that Hiro was the #2 X11 coin after dark is supposed to be held in some high esteem for an indefinite amount of time. There is a truckload of asic-resistant coins out there promising a reduction in electricity costs. Can we finally put this 'value-add' to bed for Hirocoin? If you're still touting X11 as a compelling feature, that immediately tells everyone you've lost touch with reality. You can label me whatever you want, you can call me a Fudster or useless or you can call me Al (Paul Simon reference - come on, who's with me?), but the bottom line is that sticking with your original plan, no matter how much integrity it takes to do that, is continuing to look like a worse idea with each passing day.
So I raise a glass to you, The Hiro Team. Always so positive and kind, may your integrity and good intentions rise above the current landscape. May you also widen your blinders a bit and adjust your plans in order to give this coin a true chance at mooning one day. Remember, plans made in the absence of reality can be great, but they are by nature, uninformed. You now have more information. There is no shame in doing everything possible to improve the coin in such a way to bring value and excitement to those who believed in you from Day 1. We hope you won't let pride get in the way of making the very important changes needed to give this coin some much needed life.
