Jesse Couch is hosting this site for us on Microsoft Azure. I do not think he fully set it up yet. It looks like withdraws are still frozen.

I plan to switch code bases to one that scales better. I like Ethereum 2.0 right now. I would edit Ethereum 2.0 to work with a Scrypt blockchain. The length of the blockchain is part of the security. We have to keep the blockchain going.

I can help you move SativaCoin over to the same code base if I figure out how to move THC over. Then we can use all the open source 3rd party code built for Ethereum. That is when the green machine will start coming together.

faucet Hempcoin  ??

Hello Hempcoin community! I just wanted to reach out and ask what the status of your coin is... 

Block reward was 64 before this last halving. Now its 32.

i still get 31.25 THC per block
where is halving ?

Block halving was successful. I got https://hemp.cash up on my azure bizspark account. I haven't done much testing so far. It's working for social sharing to earn hempcoins. Deposits and withdraws are not working yet.

In the meantime, someone could fix the PoS part of this coin. Unfortunately bitcoin does not scale and THC is based on bitcoin. This problem effects all other coins including Ethereum 1.0 which does not scale either.

Right now The Hempcoin could work well in smaller markets like the hemp industry. If there were farmers or producers of hemp wanting to use the hemp coin, they could use the hemp coin to transfer funds.

There will be lots of good stuff we can include in hempcoin later on. Everything is so early. A switch to Ethereum 2.0 will probably be the best choice. We will see how things go with it though. A bonus is that there will be many DApps that come in the package with Ethereum. Ethereum based projects will get decentralized market places, social networks, smart contracts and more.

I would tend to agree with that. The issue is

1) Find somebody who everybody has enough confidence in.

2) Raise a bounty fund or whatever.

3) Put the code up and let people go through it open source.

So at this point it seems up to Tim or fartbags to make a wallet, either THC or BTC, that could be used to induce an outsider to spend a while updating things. Since a wallet fix would reinvigorate the coin and increase price probably, it seems wise to make the bounty in THC.

Also looking ahead, it has been mentioned possibly doing other things with the coin. Fartbags mentioned using another algo that might give other possibilities. One thing I support that was mentioned is broadening the focus generally to medicinal plants. Hemp, as a plant, is famous because George Washington, Th Jefferson etc grew it, yet it is restricted. Marijuana, which is similar, is becoming legal in more U.S. states and there are a lot of weedcoins that focus on commercializing marijuana specifically.

The idea of using this coin to promote hemp cultivation (research it) is good, but maybe a broader theme like medicinal or "useful" plants that can be cultivated (non commercially) by individuals is good. There could be some marketplace where people could buy and sell MountainRoseHerbs https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ type stuff. That would involve Tim making a market website of some sort, which might make a little money, and would allow us to get back to the nice idea of him paying for everything, which is better than me chipping in.

It is true I am no coder. A Lot of money went into the project. I have had several coders starting with some big names in the beginning of the coin start ups. The coder which I was to never mention made some of the largest coins still rolling today. Bryce Weiner (not coder) was also one of the architects of the project. These folks were only there for advice and startup. Anyone can help to fix the coin as its all out there on GitHub.

The problem is the trust of a coder to not implement an unnoticed issue. We don't want to ruin the integrity of this long running stable coin. Anyone is welcome to reach out to coders to help resolve.


Tim

I believe Tim did lose a lot of money getting this coin built/running and that is why he isn't very active here anymore.

From reading his posts e.g.


the impression is that he is a supporter of Hemp and sponsored the original wallet, but evidently is not an actual coder or developer, nor am I, nor are most of the supporters of Hemp.

So what is it exactly people want Tim to do?

Should he hire another coder? My guess is he probably shelled out his own money for the original wallet since it isn't a premine coin. Should he be responsible for paying for all future development,? It seems a bit messed up, since he probably got no money from the premine, since there wasn't one, nor from the ico, since there wasn't one, nor from the crowdsale, for similar reasons.

But okay, I'm fine with that. If somebody can get him to continue paying then okay. Otherwise either he or somebody else attached to the coin, like fartbags, could hold a fund wallet for donations to pay for a wallet upgrade.

Tim should fix the PoS for $THC. I'm not sure why he ignores this project so much.

That's the point no-ice-please, all that is needed is a simple wallet update which at this point in time I could provide but have no desire to. What's the point? If the man in charge isn't willing to take smallest amount of effort or investment to continue his project then why bother? While a year ago I had little to no experience with writing for cryptos and so I couldn't offer it, it still doesn't matter; I know others have been willing.
Stable bases of a variety of flavours of coins could have easily been forked and slapped with the THC logo to at least continue POS for the last two years but oh no, that's too much work.  

As someone with over a decade of programming experience, and my own project which has currently eaten up over two years of my time, this amount of time for a fix is complete bullshit. A multitude of fixes should have been supplied by now but nothing. Fork from a stable base, reissue coins and move on. It's been done a successfully hundreds of times. I work full-time in the film industry which is at minimum a 70 hour work week, on top of being extremely physically and mentally demanding, and yet I find the time to continue my solo projects and am a lazy piece of a shit.

This is the shit that completely pushed myself, and I'm sure many others, away from most altcoins. I still think the principle idea behind altcoins has merit but that thought is quickly closing.

I do believe that the owner or dev of this coin is thinking for the future dev and they are doing there best to keep us hold on
if the dev is intact with hin plan I'll stick on it and hold my coins I might have that much but believing on it would be worthy
when the time comes.

More like THC would need someone with any credibility to take over, period.

Tim: I've reached out to you before, and I'm sure others have before, offering help with absolutely no reply. If you want the coin to keep going you either need to:
A) Be present, active and somewhat timely.
B) Handover the project to the community or someone else.

You had a large number of people offering free work and services about a year ago and you squandered it. We were handing you essentially finished works and yet it was pretty much wasted.

I use to think this project had potential because there was a talented community backing it and investing but here we are, seeing the same pattern repeat and repeat and repeat...
Pop in before a BT removal, tempt a fix, and then nothing. Not even a sense of a fix.

Honestly, if you even gave two shits you could have paid $30 for someone to fork a stable POS/POW base, which a dozen of sites offer as an automated service, and fixed the problem a year ago.

Not hating, just my two cents on this coin. Holding 15k for nostalgia.

Of course a public developer doing the work would be a great idea. Unfortunately they are at a premium. I've seen public people who will check wallets to make sure they work correct and have no viruses. Also set it up on a testnet first.

This seems like a good idea. Most coins get a testnet set up. We should pay a bounty to someone to fix PoS and update any security bugs. BTW this wallet was upgraded 1 time before.
