Anyone still active in here.  Is there working block explorer or website?

Someone who must have been on the team or dev or early whale crashed the buy orders on last exchange and I think this may have shown the coin was abandoned.

Damn, time flies! Was fun when it lasted.

My thesis was to buy tokens where the dev was active Smiley

HOBONICKELS IS 10 YEARS OLD TODAY

Our favorite coin was announced and launched on July 24, 2013.

Thanks to thundertoe, Tranz, ahmed_bodi and everyone who helped to make this happen. Who'd expect a joke coin to last this long, with no development at all in the past 5 years? It goes to show how resilient a coin can be, as long as a few people keep believing in it.

Almost forgot to post this because I was distracted by Orbcoin and other dystopian shit. Of course that was a good reason to mention it on Twitter. HBN is the real world-wide currency for the people, there's enough coins for everyone, because we keep making more.

I'm happy that we have a fully functional block explorer again thanks to dnp. Note that it includes a rich list on the Metrics tab and a node list on the Network tab. I'm seeing one node in Ukraine and one in Russia, so we're doing what we can for world peace.

Anyway, it wouldn't be Hobonickels if we had perfectly organized celebrations. My favorite moment was when Fluffypony of all people took this too seriously and called the devs amateurs for not putting the code on Github immediately.  Grin

General question: What was your favorite moment in Hobonickels history?

10 years huh

Network could use more nodes. files.hobomap.info has the chain for download. If on Ubuntu, best use wine to run the .exe.
btcpop.co still works too. If xeggex is crazy enough to add the coin, you definitely will want some.

Should do an airdrop.  How many dollars/DOGE in buy orders are there?  Is it still on any exchanges?

I will trade you some Hobonickels for CompoundCoin, InflationCoin, RAIN, POSCoin (very active community), and/or HodlCoin(one of the coolest wallets, doesn't need to be on to get good returns).  

My Hobonickels wallet       Ei5N4vJJV1CNXiipLPHujFF88CDsrGzzcg

We could keep this economy going.

I do like these staking coins and wrote started writing a book about them:
https://telicalbooks.com/Staking_Book_RSPearson.html

but glad I didn't release it as a lot of them went down.



It's cool that you wrote a book about staking coins! I do recognize that feeling. I was asked to write a 'crypto for beginners' book once, but I wouldn't want to encourage people to throw away their money on dog tokens or something like that.

And thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested in trading at the moment. My money's spread thin and wide already. I'll keep those coins in mind when I have time for more research.


Thanks.  I understand now things I didn't understand four years ago, let alone seven years ago when I entered the market.  It's been positive overall but the small cap staking coins were a waste of time in the last year unless their market picks up.

One reason why I mentioned the trade idea is that there are not a lot of buy orders on the small cap staking coins and so its hard for people to sell without crashing the market.

TL;DR : dead shitcoin

Congrats to Hobonickels. Any coin older than Dogecoin that's still around with a functional blockchain is cool in my book. These kind of blockchains are like obscure pinball machines from the 1960s -- they don't have a whole lot of players and require some occasional retooling to keep them operational, but they are fun to watch for nostalgia's sake. I don't own any  Cheesy but congrats to you guys nontheless.

explorer has been funded for two months (thank you!) at http://explorer.dognose.net:3011/

a coin node is included with the funding, use: addnode=explorer.dognose.net in your coin config.
do not use an ip# for explorer.dognose.net since it does occasionally change without notice.

I think in the next bull market there will be a new wave of blockchain memento collectors interested in antique curiosities like this coin. Just like there was for "Historical NFTs."

Yes, I agree, even more so now that people are rediscovering that you can create NFTs and tokens on Bitcoin. It would be so cool if we could reach the 10 year anniversary in July. You can create a thousand tokens, but such a history is unique. Recently, I've been doing research in order to write about Hobonickels, and even from public sources there's so much lore...

I'll try to do *whatever it takes* to keep Hobonickels alive, but I have limited means. The first thing we need is more nodes.

I don't really care about the price. HBN is meant to be cheap, fast and plentiful. That's what keeps it fun. If it ever becomes an investment like Dogecoin, I'll sell.

As CoinEraser said, I can't recommend Unnamed Exchange either. There were some weird shenanigans with blocked withdrawals last year. So we need to rely on Freiexchange, where the price range is currently limited to 0, 1 or 2 sats.

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but while the dot info site disappeared, there's a new Hobonickels website: https://hobonickels.io/
I think this is from the same guy who runs the Twitter account and who made the HOBO token on Ethereum. In this case, he did a good job. It's a decent site which links to the code and binaries on Github, as well as a recent snapshot.

We could have a working explorer if someone wants to pay $15 a month to http://explorer.dognose.net:3011/ (that's a demo version now).

For inspiration, here's some quotes from Horus (the crypto hobo), to whom this coin was dedicated:

Quote
I'm a terrible trader. Technically, with my job, I can't really talk about investing and stuff like that, but even if I could, people wouldn't want my advice. I end up bagholding a lot, I just hold coins and hold coins and hold coins.

A lot of the time, pumping just means giving your money to better traders.

I remember watching some Wall Street traders coming in, some day traders. And they were just mystified, they lost their shirt right off the hop. Because they weren't used to such volatile markets. And they weren't used to 24/7 markets, they were used to markets closing at a certain time, and the place not changing.

When the Bitcoin price was around $250:
Quote
My uncle actually bought a bitcoin when it was 800. And now every time he calls me, he throws in a reminder that he bought a bitcoin at 800.

There's no quick 5-minute talk on Bitcoin. It's a multiple-hour discussion, when you're trying to talk to somebody about Bitcoin, not convince them, but just describe it. Their minds are so set in the traditional banking system, that they can't wrap their heads around it. It almost sounds to good to be true at first, and they don't buy it. Or too bad to be true, it depends on how they look at it.

These quotes are from an interview with Rick Stoner on his online radio show Doged Radio, undated but probably from March 2015.

Is the network dying or am I on a losing fork? I only see 4 to 6 peers, and some of my minting transactions are not accepted.

OK, apparently my problem was that my stake was too low. My minting transactions do usually get confirmed after I bought more coins on Freiexchange. @paramind22 I guess you noticed that. Grin Thanks for the IP list.

Last month, I noticed we went from 4 to 6 nodes, but a lot of coins must have stopped staking. Suddenly, I went from minting a few times a day to about every 10 minutes.

Today, my wallet says it's not staking because it can find only 2 nodes. Did somebody forget to restart their node after maintenance? There was another Windows update on Tuesday.

The problem is, someone has to pay for the explorer and possibly the exchanges.

InflationCoin is barely holding on as are other old coins like CompoundCoin.  Boat and RAIN look pretty much over but the latter has a lot of connections.  Explorers need some bandwidth but are relatively easy to create if someone knows how to code them.

Its because blockchains like this are fun, weird, and ancient. Not sure it will be enough to have a dramatic effect on price but you never know.
