Is there any exchanges for this coin?

How much do you have to be able to stake like that?

Correct I am not looking to fork for mining change. Remember as time goes, the scrypt part of this coin will mean less and less. PoS will continue to gain more and more of the mining share.  Switching to a new PoW would be counterproductive at best and could cause huge problems.

Blundertoe!!!

Probably got into the wrong thread, it is so inappropriate !  I don't post much here, because HBN is one of the few coins, of the 50 or so I hold, that doesn't need changing.

Now the wallet is faster, everything is set nicely for a steady growth. New converts will come to HBN as they discover it, and that is the right way to go. Tranz concentrates on the important issues, not flag-waving. Big promotions are usually counter productive.

Alright fellow HoboNickelers the time has come to start a fun contest/drawing.  I have a used XFX 7950 that is in good hashing condition that I am donating to this drawing. The winner will be shipped the card.  I will throw up some pictures of the card soon.

See full thread here - https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/10249-hobonickels-gpu-contest-%E2%80%93-win-a-free-xfx-7950/

ANNOUNCING HOBONICKELS GPU CONTEST – WIN A FREE XFX 7950

Here is how the contest will work:

- On Sunday, April 27th the first Proof of Stake block accepted by the network will be used as the official drawing.  How it will work is that the hash of the block will be taken and the first 7 numbers that appear in the hash will be the official drawn number.  So for example if a block has the hash 240f3bf3bbf0be2fff428e3a20e4855ef83006ebb216baac90372977d878826d the official drawn number will be 2,403,302.  Whoever has the closest number will take the prize. The guess can be above or below and still win (not price is right rules).

- Each user will be given one free guess.  Each user will need to have an account on Cryptocointalk or Bitcointalk that was created before the date of this post.

-Each guess should be a 7 digit number.

-Guesses will need to be sent via private message to Presstab on cryptocointalk

- Additional guesses can be purchased for 30 HBN

-As this card is my own, I have the right to change the rules at any time. I am fair and will only change rules if there is an unfair exploit.

1st block July 24th 2013 - http://hbn.blockx.info/get/block/000009ea5ef5019446b315e7e581fc2ea184315ed46c9ddeadc8aa9442deedc9

Must be either blatant trolling or simple uninformed posting. HBN has been around quite a while now (isn't it coming up on a year?) and Tranz has been a fantastic dev.

ASICS will only increase the value. Hold, don't fork.

asic is nice for this coin, dont fork!!!

Thank you!

Tranz,

Any thought on changing the algo to a more energy efficient one as well as ASIC resistant?  With the first ASICs shipping around the end of May, this might be worth considering for the early adopters as well as new small miners who don't have money to burn like the whales...

 

 

I know this is old but it deserves a reply

I have been looking at POS coins as of late and I have found no such developer being as active as Tranz - I am buying and putting all my hashing into HBN right now because of that very fact.

If you have been following the thread, you will see that Tranz has been more than active (he even paid out of his own pockets for coins loss)

What more are you looking for 

 

The blocks mature at 10 days. After maturity they become eligible for stake, but they are competing with all other eligible blocks on the network.  The more stake weight the more likely it will be that the block will stake.  Currently my blocks of 500 are taking 10-15 days.  Random chance is involved.

I am confused by the message shown below.... I thought stake is ~ 10 days
Please explain....

Just use coin control to send the dust to another addy for reassembly then send them back as a contiguous block.

how to make the large blocks?

Mathematically speaking, a wallet with larger blocks that stake sooner will receive more HBN in the long run than a wallet with small blocks that take longer to stake, even though you are compensated for the extra days.  One major factor is that in order for large blocks to accumulate faster, you would need to combine blocks immediately after they stake, or else coin days are wasted.

At the end of the day there isn't a huge difference between the two reward wise. It is all about what makes you happy and what is fun.
