Topic: [ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - Worlds First Decentralized Game/World on the Blockchain - page 82. (Read 879551 times)

But we can see unconfirmed transactions floating around the P2P network, right? So why does it have to be included in a block for us to access the text  

a blockchain chat already exists but of course that sux because you have to wait the block confirmation(s) to see your message and replyes

In my client I've already implemented a realtime chat that allow to create private password protected channels, but of course this works only between people using my client
I know snailbrain wanted to implement a chat based on an IRC channel and we could leverage that implementing a common chat, but actually afaik only mine is active (and the server code is hosted on a server i'm paying myself (30 eur month))

Actually I've to say the chat is almost empty because..well, players are MIA, hope to see things changing soon

Anyway If in future we want to create a common platform that allow realtime chat It's fine, but this should be out of blockchain of course, but could be already implemented in the daemon itself to help other 3rd party clients share the same chat platform

tell me about the future of this HUNTERcoin, at least I want to be part of this thread with the community here

yea its in the qt client and yes have to pay for that too .01 i think huc per line of text...

Actually, I can't remember if there is in-game chat (my comp is still broken).

There oughta be, though. Isn't that trivially easy to do? Just insert text in a transaction. Am I missing something, devs?

Yep

New Qt versions (5.4+) also have OpenGL support, you can display graphics with normal qt function like painter->paint and it will autodetect hardware and use GPU or fall back to the software renderer.

Comes in handy because the old qt is at its limit when rendering 1080p.

bitcoin-qt could be the place to start, make an extra tab, display a demo like
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/examples-widgets-opengl.html
then let it paint some sprites, then the static Huntercoin map...

Current huntercoin-qt has lots ot code and "forms" dealing with UI elements, and Qt is not really into backward compatibility.
Lots of work to adapt, and it's tempting to go for a new clean look with hotkeys "spawn one" "spawn my list and keep alive" "transfer selected" "transfer all" etc

Really looking forward to this. Will there be an ingame chat?

Also, I think a leveling mechanism would be nice.

I talk for myself: I'm not part of development team strictly talking, I'm an huntercoin believer that wanted to do something concrete to help the coin and instead trying to earn something speculating on exchanges, i wanted to earn something giving some useful services. I'm not paid to to what i'm doing, what i get is what community gives (donation address is in signature and the 2000 hucs you see are from BayAreaCoins) and in future what i could earn with client fee.

At the end I think i could be considered an example of what anybody can do to support a coin: instead waiting that others do something, i prefer to do (or at least try)
I hope that with future releases of the official daemon huntercoin could get the attention it deserve.

I've read some posts where someone asked to do games that uses this coin, or service that accept hucs or whatever.
The idea obviously is nice and everybody know that services are what gives values to a coin (for huntercoin the game itself has an intrinsic value) but what people maybe miss is that, for example, to do a MMORPG a huge investment has to be done, in term of time and money and this project isn't funded afaik

To give value to the coin, ANYBODY can setup an e-commerce and sold something in hucs, or try to find merchants to sold, etc...
cryptocoin are launched from someone and developed during time by one or more person, but since it's opensource, anybody can contribute to codebase AND marketing, at the end isn't the creator of the coin by definition, that has the major revenue, but who have the coins (don't look at me, lol)

recap about this coin: no premine, except a small amount for bounty, etc.., mostly lost in mikhail (who passed away) pc, no IPO, no investors at early stage, so of course this coin is in the hand of community (and in snailbrain "team", like domob, that keep working on the core)

ideas are great, but need people who do concrete things too (donating is also a form of support of course, no one ask to people to do things they can't do)

ok, a post maybe too long

well now that bitcoin core .12 was released with block pruning and full wallet access, think its time for a new  huntercore qt..

Yeah... most coins are all marketing, no substance. HUC has always been the opposite. We're about to change that, though, and you can help just by spreading the word.

It's little funny that huc has genuine developers and a small core of people who put real effort into it, but it is low priced and ignored, but there are loads of utter shitcoins that are created and developed only to fleece simple folk and some of those coins are worth dozens of times more.

Go for it, I say.

config:bank_notice -120
config:afk_leave_map 60

Sounds cool, but I remember HUC had damn big blockchain and required a lot of space to run the game (although I played when it was just starting), how it can be possible on mobile?
