So thats it then ?

after that, hiro prices just decrease and go to earth

this coin should be up with DRK coin come on people we need to get this great coin some advertisement.

Keep up the great work Devs 

thanks for the updates.. such rise today

Correct. Evan Duffield is the brilliant coder who developped X11 and is now working on Darksend. Check out Darkcoin : it's going places.

X11 is open source. We've implemented it, and in turn, our development department is adding code to other open source projects ( like Abe ) and are sharing that as well. That's how opensource works, and that's what we love about it

Our development community is also very open and transparent. Come check out the forum at hirocoin.org !

Didn't DRKcoin develop X11?

Thanks ! Come visit the forum at hirocoin.org and join the fun

Hirocoin will have the brightest future of all X11 coins. Miners will soon move to X11 and forget about scrypt, less power consumption, less heat, and more profitable. I wanna thank you the developers for this coin. Keep up the good work!!

X11 alone does not make coin worth anything.

hiro - 137th place coinmarketcap - dead

X11 all the wayyyyyyyyyy

Nice update, thank you. This coin has a bright future ahead of it.

does this coin ok for buy or mine？

Thanks for this update guys. Appreciate the transparency.

One question, is Hiro still working with you and coding on this project?

And here it is, slightly delayed :  the second edition of Hironews. The aim of this newsletter is to keep you informed of all that's going on in the wonderful world of Hirocoin. Hironews will be released every two weeks.

We love this logo because it expresses what we stand for, and it's very easy on the eyes.  
Open, friendly, professional and secure. It's simple and easy to recognise. The color green symbolizes growth.
And the logo has a Japanese vibe to it, which resonates with the name Hiro.

Congrats to Basun, who has won 36,000 Hirocoin with his winning submission.

Now that we have our new logo, we're ready to have a nice video made by a very talented artist. He's made promotional videos that we are very impressed with.




The recent addition of NGW ( Nite’s Gravity Well )  is a prime example of this. NGW is cutting edge. It does a great job in mitigating a major vulnerability in KGW. Nite's fix limits the most extreme changes in difficulty by a time warp attack possible. Here's how : What an attacker can do is generate a series of blocks with future time stamps with very little spacing between them. By doing so, the attacker can pump up difficulty by a massive amount. This fix sets a minimum for the space between these spammed blocks of 1 second where in the past it could have been 0.

In layman's terms, the fix further protects the network from malicious activity, safeguarding your investment.

Just a day after the Heartbleed attack was unveiled to the world, n00bsysop and Hiro have worked around the clock to remove this threat. Web comic XKCD made a great explanation on how Heartbleed works.





While Hiro enjoyed founding Hirocoin and getting the ball rolling, he’d rather focus on his passion : coding.  He has left strategic planning in the hands of Joerii. ( yes, the writer of this newsletter ).

What does this mean for you, distinguished reader ?  One thing is that the organization structure has changed, to make it easier and more inviting for new talent to join us.

Here's why Hirocoin is such a great community to join

We now have a “departments” part of the forum where you’ll find four departments and their objectives ( at the time of writing : work in progress ). Joining a team is open to everyone who agrees with our values of transparency, cooperation and ethical behaviour. Teams are coordinated by leaders who ensure that our short and long term objectives are met. Objectives come from  the Think Tank, the place where  researchers and dreamers meet to brainstorm about Hirocoin. Come join  one or multiple teams and grow Hirocoin into a digital currency built for the future !






Joerii and n00bsys0p  have decided to show their faces. It fits the new direction we’ve chosen to go in. We also think it’s good for Hirocoin’s image : we have nothing to hide and are available to anyone.

This does not mean that everyone has to do the same, but it will be required of all future  leaders in our community.

• The block explorer is now online.

 

• n00bsys0p has ported Abe to X11. That means that he added some code to Abe that allowed it to support X11 coins, and those changes have been added to the official release of Abe . For us non-techies : We have a nice block explorer now that works like a charm.

• A Hirocoin mining calc is about to be integrated into our site.

• You’ll see how many coins you can expect and how much those are worth in the fiat currency of your choice (many currencies can be supported).

[/list]

• Jabber support is in the final stages of testing.

• Jabber is the original open instant messaging (IM) technology. You’ll be able to instantly join a channel with your forum login name, no extra registering required. Better looking and with more options then IRC, and you even get a custom "you AT jabber.hirocoin.org" Jabber ID you can add any of your Jabber friends to.

We’ve been blamed for not being more dramatic, for not making any promises and for not buying up our own coin to raise it’s price. For not releasing a new killer app every few days.

We don’t do these things because it’s against what we stand for. We follow an ethics based approach and strive to be 100% honest and transparent. Hirocoin will have to become more valuable on it’s own merit. Not only as a speculative vehicle, but as an actual means of payment and transfer of resources. And we’ll release a new feature when it’s done, or very close to it.

Marketing is part of this, manipulation and vaporware is not.

Our main objective is to become the next tier in digital currency. First there was SHA-256, then there was Scrypt, and now there’s X11. The valuable features of Hirocoin  and its super community will make it the premier X11 coin.
