Something that adds to the frustration a lot is the constant crashing of the wallet.
It regularly locks up and takes forever (it could be hours I've stopped looking) to react again.

I'm not really sure what to think about the botting thing. Does it mean you have to be a coder then to maximize your game?
It could be made as simple as a point and click and punching in values.
I am sure Mithral will have some good bot tools in the future. Right now you need to have some dev experience. I will likely update the bot client this week with a couple features that have been asked for. It's on the HUC official forums.

Thanks for the replies.

Also the blockchain download from that one google link failed about 3 times now. Always right before 100%...
I'm trying it yet another time.
I totally cannot reproduce Mithrilmans speed of syncing the blockchain. I literally have this thing running for weeks now and I can watch it transfer single blocks....
Are there some kind of hidden nodes that are not listed in OP or why the f will it not download faster? I'm on a fast connection here and the whole BTC chain wouldve finished multiple times already..

I've had my syncing for weeks as well... Pretty much if you are a coder you can code a bot to mine for you and auto convert into BTC for the next 6-8years for next to nothing.
I think the price is going to continue to slip, but luckily very few can sync their wallet to sell what they bought in the first bit of HUC

Ok so someone got me interested in Huntercoin even though pretty much everyone tells me to stay away from it for various reasons.
Now I am willing to try, but it will not ever sync....
I've downloaded the partial blockchain from mega (which took forever because this mega crap crashed all the time, I'd recommend a normal ftp or whatever..) but
it always has 3 weeks left!!
A new week has passed before I can download a single one. And I run this system 24/7!
Any ideas? The coin is totally useless in this state.
Will using this Mithril client help me or do I have to download the whole frickin blockchain again?
You guys need to work on communication flow for real..
Edit: I'm trying this one now http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=37.15 . This stuff should come from devs not random users!

I run my client every day when i come back from work, so i have to download ~16 hours and it tooks some minutes (never misured, but something about 10/15 minutes)
my datadir is on an SSD drive (blockchain is too much to fit in my ramdrive and i don't wanted to compress that drive)
my client (Mithril Edition) helps a lot about planning moves, strategies, etc... but can't help about downloading blockchain, because it relay on huntercoind.exe (the huntercoin deamon) using its RPC commands
beside that i advice you to try it (it's windows only) maybe after you've tried the official one, you'll see how much it adds to the game
soon i should publish my new interface (ETA in few weeks) and it will be even easier
As someone pointed out, a bot system into the client is something needed to keep this coin human minable and it's what i'll try to achive after i'll publish the new interface

Worst case scenario is that the players would have to control bots as they become accessible to the average/normal players, hence you can have pre-set commands etc.
I'm not sure what you mean.
To me Huntercoin has made clear that in a blockchain game
you should have a built-in bot-making ability with very flexible
scripting system. That way it will stay human mineable,
only the emphasis of the game moves to devising and implementing
various bot strategies.
You understood me perfectly then
That's what I was trying to say June 08, 2014, 01:36:52 PM

I truly hope this will always be human mineable.
Asics overtook Bitcoin mining 6 digit USD required for a bite
GPU rigs overtook almost all alts i'd say 4 digit USD required
CPU coins basically do not exist big time
so if you can manage that bots do not overtake HUC and it will really stay human mineable that would be awesome.
Even though I can't fully figure out what your "mission statement" on this is. You play with real money. The game itself is less game and more grind.
I'm interested in how this develops and hopefully I can try soon

^ and never ever close the wallet again or the whole drama starts again omg
It's best if you visit us back in 2-3 weeks' time. This problem unfortunately has kept a lot of new people away, and it should be fixed pretty soon. Patience is a virtue

Not even up to 90k 
Anyone got a good download of a fairly recent blockchain? The link in the OP to the multiple files doesnt seem to work right.

That one worked. Took around 12 hours or so after that 200k+ blockchain, but I am back in now! Woohoo!!

The dev is working on reducing the size of the blockchain as it is the most pressing issue. The best bet to get the wallet synced is either to run it on an SSD or better still on a RAM drive.

Somehow my database got corrupted. Re-downloading the blockchain. 36 hours in and I am up to around 90k.
This isn't meant to be as negative as it might sound but just got me thinking out loud.. Wonder if one could sell HUC styled flash drives with the latest block "as of x" then have it mailed out.
Obviously with pruning and other possibilities, this is moot.
HUC-styled USBs might be on the books, but filling them with the latest blocks would only partially put off the blockchain problem, and a very inefficient remedy at that too. I'd rather use the USBs as a pure promotional piece rather than a tool. Pruning is at the top of Snailbrain's priorities for the coin anyway, I should assume.
