Topic: [ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain - page 250. (Read 879551 times)

what is the timeframe on that? oh, what is libcoin?

are you getting orphans/rejects or anything? (and Mark?) --  is yours no longer crashing?

Eligius and F2Pool are mining, but probably using some custom pool software
ManicMiner is merge mining - not sure what software they are using, but he seems willing to help out..
There are people mining blocks with p2pool, a couple a day i am told




Namecoin (and therefore Huntercoin), is using old bitcoin code.. approx 0.3.5 or something (bit is now on  v0.9?)
Instead of updating it to the latest bitcoin code, Domob will update reimplement it onto on Libcoin
It means in laymans terms.. the client should be much faster and responsive... although probably the "game" will be a separate interface and will connect to the daemon similar to how mithrilman client connects.


did you already have some stuff in your datadir? (.e played around launch, and have now come back?)


---

I just can't sync the wallet and I get that update message despite being on latest one.

We have delayed launching our pool (publicly, if anyone is interested in helping with private testing please find us in the IRC channel) because of this.  We have worked with (and continue to work with) snailbrain to fix some other problems with the client.  We have some "working theories" on why the merged mining is failing, but have not yet come to a resolution.

Would there be interest in the pool if it offered HUC-only mining?

"undertaking the reimplementation of Namecoin onto Libcoin (and will then attempt the same for huntercoin) - this should give significant improvements."

What does this mean in non technical speak? 

Yes and no and kind of...

You do NOT risk the balance in your QT wallet. That is perfectly safe.

You do risk a portion of the coin you use to create a team, and you also spend a portion of it.

I'll walk through this a bit slow because some things aren't really very obvious...

The cost of a hunter team is 1 HUC. There is also a 0.005 (sometimes 0.01) tx fee.

Total cost **SO FAR** for 1 team = 1.005 HUC.

But, you can create many teams... So, # of teams x 1.005 HUC = total cost **SO FAR**.

Now, you run around, pick up coins, rob other players, and cash them in. Let's forget about those coins though.

And let's say you created 2 teams (a red and a yellow team) = 2.01 HUC.

And let's say you are finished playing, but don't want to leave your teams out there for people to kill. What can you do?

When a general is killed, he drops the initial coin that you used to get the team (1 HUC [the 0.005 tx fee went to miners]), but there's a 4% miner's tax whenever a general dies. So, generals effectively drop 0.96 HUC when they die.

Now, you can use one of your Red hunters (not your Red general) to kill your Yellow general, then pick up that 0.96 coins and cash them out.

So, those 2 teams cost you:

1.005 x 2 = 2.01 - 0.96 = 1.05 **SO FAR**

Where's the difference?

The difference so far is 1.05. We take out the value of the Red general (if you could cash him in, see below), 0.96, and

1.05 - 0.96 = 0.09

0.005 tx fees to create teams x 2 = 0.01
0.04 "death tax" from general dying x 2 = 0.08
Total tx fees & death taxes = 0.09

So, we've balanced the books there, but we still have a Red general that we've not cashed in...

The only way to get that 0.96 coins is to get a friend to collect it and give it back to you.

So, let's say that you do that...

You end up with... drum roll... 1.728 HUC. Not 1.92. There's a 10% "cash in" fee for the miners.

So, originally, you spent 2.01 HUC and you got back 1.728 HUC, or about 86% of your original stake (0.864 x 2 teams). 14% of it went to miners.

tl;dr

Your **cost** for 1 team is then 0.141 HUC if you can cash out your **last** general with the help of a friend. Your **risk** was 0.864 HUC for each team, because you can either recover that or not - it is never "spent".

Thats a bingo, I was using a name with 21 characters and getting that error I tried a name with 3 characters and it worked ok. So another thing for the devs to do list. If you have a character limit specifie it next to the name fieled or at least change the text of the error to "Name must bet xx characters or less" or something like that.

does every chat you send cost you money? if so how much?

really excited about this coin! lots of improvements should be coming soon

Ditto. Not one. I'm pretty sure it ain't working properly yet 

I am not sure about the first question, it may be you are trying too long a name?

As for second question....each team costs 1.05 huc....that is all you will be risking for one team....but if you pick coins up in game they can easy be lost

I just bought Huntercoin (yay!) at poloniex which is working well. I look forward to improving and promoting hunter with everyone but first things first.

When I try to play the game on qt it says  

Name registration failed
Error: CheckTransaction failed for transaction created by
nameFirstUpdateCreateTx

How can I fix that?

Also if I enter the game I go in with and risk 1 coin right? not the whole balance I have in qt?

Cheers

I was just thinking, what would be nifty is blockchain video explorer that let you replay some of those epic battles, like when you're pulling out 100 coins or racing for the crown, etc.

I have been merged mining this with p2pool for quite some time, but have yet to find any blocks, despite that fact that I continue to find GRouPcoin blocks.

GRouPcoin is higher difficulty than huntercoin so I should be finding some huntercoin blocks by now presumably, even if half of its blocks are going to scrypt miners?

I'm game for some huntercoin!!

I'd say buy at Poloniex. I've tried using CryptoRush, but it's just wonky and near impossible to use. Really. It's just miserable. They've got a very screwed up ordering book system. Save yourself some pain and just buy at Poloniex.

Ok, since you do not get any of the dev fund, i split it up 75 to the dev fund   0a3e317440d4c97058e280f331b7140f6b3ed96587e5b8e8be24d8582fdaf0f2
 and 25 to you 97af894a373fd0f8dcd271b704a853aabcc0ebcb889efbae5de4abf6d798a87 . Cheers . I will try to send more in the future.

I've had no problem withdrawing HUC from Poloniex.  Cryptsy has the tab for HUC up in their support section and a URL for deposits and such (don't use this yet.)

So I gather

https://cryptorush.in/
and
https://www.poloniex.com

Are the places to buy hunter

cryptorush homepage

"Slow Deposits/Withdraws
Due to the volume of AUR and BTC, we're having an issue with deposits and withdraws"

poloniex

So where should a buyer buy at the moment?

Yes I am looking to buy if anyone wants to sell. If anyone wants to give me 1 hunter so I can try the game that would be awsomesauce

If you're thinking ladybug or praying mantis, then no.

Is the last of the bugs what I think it is?
