Topic: [ANN][THC] The Hempcoin (THC) - page 75. (Read 389163 times)
The big question is; What cool thing do we want to do with the network?
- A payment processor
- A hemp social network
- Hemp futures in smart contracts
What else can it do?
I think a social network would be the easiest to build. Then once there are users, move to something more serious like a payment processor for hemp based goods and services.
I cloned ETH 1.0 within the first week it came out. I was going to switch THC a long time ago but ETH 1.0 wasn't good enough for me. Proof-of-Work is quite wasteful compared to Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work doesn't scale to millions of users.
ETH 2.0 is Proof-of-Stake and ahead of schedule. We may be able to get a really strong network with only 10 or 20 community members running nodes.
I work with computers and my wife is a software engineer.
From what I can tell, ETH 2.0 will be built using the programming language Scala. I will be building a mobile app that talks to this Scala server using AIR/AS3.
If your wife knows Scala then her talents will be in high demand.
I will most likely switch THC from the bitcoin based c++ code to the Ethereum 2.0 based Scala code. You would then be able to do really amazing stuff with THC. Of course if no one follows my fork then THC will remain as is.
There are a few coins swapping to ETH based, Gaia being most recent announced publicly and I know a couple that aren't public. Not sure what to make of it, ETH sure made some very rich in past month and EXP pump was something else, so the natural tendency is to jump on the bandwagon.
X11 only works for DASH/DRK ... because of the block reduction with high hash power and DRK Team 50Ghs mining it for 2 years. That is what many coins found out after swapping to X11 or new ones, they are made to be centralised not propagated.
I've still got my THC from Scrypt mining days and 45 day wait for stake. I vote Yes for ETH change.

My wife works with medical equipment. She graduated almost 20 years ago and was trained mainly in machine language. Her degree was in Automated Control Systems. That is the field I work in too. I have a computer programming certificate, but I work as an engineer.

...like what THC was meant to do. go for it and godspeed dude

Good to see THC grow some. That was my 169 sat 77777.77777777 order at peak. Cheers 
Since launch, dev likes to come and go. Weed coins do have a hard time, but do some spectacular fat finger jumps. One has to succeed, why not this one?

I have a ROG gamer laptop with a Nvidea GEForce gpu. I have been using it with VPN which has Pos for more than 6 months. I bought Bitcoin when it was below $1 and I tried to mine with a fast desktop but did not have much luck. I work with computers and my wife is a software engineer but we have not done any work on coins or blockchain, but I'm learning.
Interesting. I got the Windows wallet working and transferred my coins. I am not sure who bought $800 worth this past week causing the price to rise but it wasn't me. I guess I have to wait for a while for the coins to mature before trying mining THC or HMP.
PoS isn't working, so maturity has no meaning, but The HempCoin is mineable with cpu or gpu

This blockchain does in fact use both tickers HEMP and THC. Someone back awhile ago tried to take over and make this HEMP. The user experience can be different on two different apps that use this single blockchain. One can be called HEMP the other can be called THC.
I wonder if bittrex would allow a coin to have two ticker symbols? Probably not cause it would get out of control.
I can open https://hemp.cash back up for a small user group if there is a store or dispensary interested in accepting this coin this April 20th. It was a really cool site where I had over 10,000 user join in a day and crash the system. It works on everything as it was an HTML5 cloud wallet. I can only handle 500 or less users per $10 server. So 10,000 users = $200 a month. If the site kept growing quickly it would then need $1000+ a month. Then $10,000 a month. It didn't have any bugs in the UI, it was easy to use and it never got hacked.
I actually use bittrex as a web wallet on android. It works great.
nice pump
I really wish Hempcoin used HEMP instead of THC as the ticker.. while it must've sounded cool at the time, logically just it don't make no sense. isn't hemp supposed to be absent of thc? the coin it self is good, the branding can go maybe do a make over like dash? since we talking about the new wallet.
Any possibility of negotiation with the other Hempcoin? A dispute could occur in the future over the name. This coin was likely first but a legal case would be costly and time consuming. Perhaps a merger is possible. Other coins such as VPN have reached some innovative solutions in sending their blockchain in one file making wallet installation much quicker. It took me a long time to install the Windows wallet. THC also needs an Android wallet for phones.
It would require a coin swap and a new blockchain would be created to switch to ethereum. I maybe think it's a better plan to switch to a pure PoS Scrypt coin code base like CannaCoin CCN at this time.
Ethereum is PoW right now. I think we could get a more stable blockchain going with PoS. Once Ethereum with PoS is out then we can switch over and start creating a really good DApp that people want. The smart people tell me the current Ethereum doesn't scale and to wait until Ethereum updates to PoS.
Everything ethereum is going nuts. How does a coin switch to ethereum? and when is the planned switch to PoS? still a long time aways it seems.
*edit, seems like you already answers some of my questions on your second post...haha. mind reader you...
It's too bad the original dev seems to be gone completely. He was, maybe still is, in university so maybe he will be back around April 20th. I think that's about when all exams are over.
It would be nice to get the PoS fixed in this coin or to move it to pure PoS.
To switch to a different code base like Ethereum it would require a coin swap like this:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/transparent-crypto-coin-swap-guidelines-880220
Those are the guidelines I wrote up over a year ago and people are starting to prove they are possible to follow. Switching to Ethereum would be harder because wallet keys are different. You would have to lock coins in smart contracts that can be opened with the old (current) THC private keys.

Looks like THC got bought up today.
Should we all go in on a hosted node service like:
https://bitnodes.net/service/crowdfunding/
We should also try to find a dev who wants to work for a THC bounty to fix PoS and add in a new checkpoint.
So..um...what is up with Hempcoin? a buy up to 169?
so we got a big player in Hempcoin now, want to introduce yourself?

Thanks. I think I will store my coins at Bittrex for now. I think there is room for competion in the Cannabis coin sector. Just like Visa, Mastercard and Amex except we are not based on debt. All it will take is for one of the coins to make a big advance and the others should rise too. There were thousands of historical uses for hemp in the past and there may be hundreds of applications in the future. This coin could be more successful if it attracts the broader legal product sector as well as the medical cannabis sector to accept and use it.
