What happened to this coin? It was (still is) my top 5 cryptocoin. Any plans to expand map, new map, or something of the sort?

we are still working on disaster and optimizations, and daemon/client stuff, while also simultaneously working on multi platform client.

Currently - Disaster is done, but takes a 2-5minutes to process with this amount of players on the map.. so we are still optimizing.
There is a new patch which reduces blkindex.dat by 35% ish, and reduces ram usage of the client by 50%.
Also working on a nameindex patch to speed up processing of Disaster block, but increases size of nameindex..
many more optimizations for faster sync..
All are optimized in such a way that it will make it easier/better for pruning of the chain in the not to distant future. It's possible to prune nameindex probably to a few mb (all dead names/moves or from disaster), and eventually completely prune the chain so that players can sync from a checkpoint (or disaster).
Domob is working hard on both namecoin and huntercoin to improve all this stuff.

We are also probably about to add Expiry, so hunters will live only for around 1 month or less, and considering upping the cost of hunters to 10 HUCs... and, adding autoattack

Would be great if people could donate to Domob for his work thus far Smiley... you can donate some to the HDF and state it's for domob if you like, and i'll send on to him, or he can post an address.

-

We are also working at the same time on Alternative Game client which will require no chain download and can be played on any system, - i.e. android/apple or browser -

We are basically complete on the Map process (all read only). It works extremely smoothly even with 50k objects on the map. There has been a delay due to many optimizations.
Here is a sneak peak.



still working on some graphical stuff, but it's working, point and click, search, zoom to players, and works amazing on android.



forgot to add:

Fees to play will probably start off in HUCs, then other cryptos, then fiat..
and you will need to set a reward address ... (to begin with)

10 HUC to create a player, and the random disaster could kill it at any time? No way. I do NOT recommend upping the new player fee by 10x.

why?

10 huc, disaster,+ expiry, will make it expensive to control 5000 hunters and have them just sit there doing nothing afk....

It would play best controlling less...
10 HUCs is an approx price - though it will prevent map being overcrowded at this time.

Think about it some more..

p.s. are you the one controlling the 7k bots? Cheesy

Ummm, maybe that works for a bot army, but I am a lonely little scrypt miner with gpus who makes less than 0.01 btc/day. I bought in with 5 huc, bach when that cost me 0.005 btc. I can make maybe 20-50 coins a day, playing my less than 10 hunters at a time. You want raise that to 10x as much just to buy in and start playing with only 1 hunter you will chase off the little guy, like me. You will have nothing but the red guy who always has the crown and makes thousands a day. I work hard to get 20 HUC without the bots stealing my coins on the way to the bank. 10 is too much per guy for a guy like me. Maybe a sliding scale. 1-20 player=1huc each, 20-50 players=5 huc each, etc

i edited my post...

don't forget, there should be more coins to get after disaster and expiry, and more expensive to create a team... also, don't let your team die.

I'll think about it more - it's not set in stone, but i personally think it would be a major improvement. (try not to think about how the map is now)

I get your point about the disaster, and imagine my luck and joy if I happened to actually see the disaster and create a bunch of guys to go collect all the dropped coins before many others or the bot guys!! I also kinda like the idea of more hunters/player. I just think a sliding scale might be better so you dont price out the little guys.

p.s. increasing price,  also may mean we increase amount of hunters per team (note it will still be more expensive than is now).

There is a balance needed - price is too low to create a team atm

That would be great! I really like bittrex even though I have no issues with poloniex. The more, the better, right?

If there is a lot of support shown by the Chinese community towards HUC, I don't see any reason why it cannot be added to btc-e in the future. The main problem to be solved right now however is the manageability of the wallet as it's almost impossible for average users to sync it efficiently and quickly. The longer this takes, the slighter the chance of having HUC recover. Once the market cap drops below a certain point, it might be a point of no return.

In the meantime, if someone could possibly answer these 3 questions for me, I can get HUC listed on Bittrex:

HUC isnt a scam coin (drk) or a shit coin with a retarded marketing dev (Jackson/DOGE.)

Different ball game with HUC and the devs involved.

It would be nice to see a HUC/BTC/NMC exchange only.

I don't know if a small exchange like that could survive. If it were decentralized one, then maybe... But POW would be out of the question in all likelihood...

Still, those are my 3 favourite currencies.

Or skip all these little shit fly by night exchanges and head straight to BTC-e.

BTC-e would be a great place for HUC, but their 5 decimal places would present a problem given the current price. Even FTC and TRC have 2 digits of resolution there.

If I could pick an exchange for HUC to be on, it would be BTC-e, hands down - no contest. But... not up to me... Sad



BTC-E did not add doge or black or dark ...... i think HUC got no chance .....

Just a fast post
I've uploaded on youtube a video about my new client interface (work in progress)
take a look here, i think it's pretty cool Smiley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aJ5KXPrt3c

of course you'll see some pieces of old interface here and there (My Troops, Minimap, etc..) because i've not yet done all, but hey, I'll do Smiley

meanwhile i had done something funny while you wait the chain to sync, a simple minigame (now i didn't wanted to loose time on this, so i just had done a simple snake, but it's the idea behind that i like, doing something while waiting blockchain download Smiley

ok, another sleepless night, need to sleep some now Cheesy

Has anyone contacted Bittrex in order to list HUC? Their volume is decent, and they are pretty reliable, even though they list almost all the coins that emerge.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us about your coin. We look for coins that have high community demand, innovations to cryto-coin technology, or a contribution to science or humanity. Given the demand for coin launches, we limit ourselves to only a handful a week. Launching is free and at our discretion. If you'd like to guarantee the launch of your coin and get additional marketing in our platform, we offer the option to spotlight your coin for 1.0 BTC.

To help speed up the process of deploying your coin, we'd like the following information:
* Coin Name
* Coin trading symbol
* Launch Date (past or future)
* Github Link
* Exchanges you are currently on
* Official blockchain explorer
* What is your TxFee for a transaction
* What do you believe your min trade size should be
* A png image for your coin with a transparent background

We are mindful of scams, copyright violations, and offensive subjects and reserve the right to refuse any coin on our platform.

From Bittrex

Please note what I highlighted in their response. Innovative!! HUC is unique! You can't really mine it effectively, you can realistically mostly only trade it or earn in the game.

I already highlighted that in my request. If someone could fill in the last three points I could send them back a reply ASAP. Naturally, unless the Devs prefer waiting until their major update is out before requesting another exchange to add us. At the moment however there seems to be no major reliable exchange supporting HUC, so Bittrex would be good at this point. I want to buy up more HUC myself but I cannot trust Poloniex with their past shaky few weeks.

Poloniex is a bit sketchy, but they have been fine as far as getting coins in and out for me. We need a cryptsy where people can leave their coins on the bid and sleep semi ok at night.
