UPDATE 15/09/14 >> 1.0.12
Fix for Pending Players (double spends) - won't be effective until the majority of relayers/miners/nodes upgrade. Auto uses name_clean and cleans memory pool of bad doublespends.
https://mega.co.nz/#!tJV1iBxS!OYnHxxHbI0l3-PcVDnTq9UWEUEcOnyXJh3S861a9PrA

ALL SHOULD UPDATE ASAP.

Please Donate to Domob to show your appreciate for the time he is spending coding for everyone (for both Namecoin and Huntercoin)
UPDATE 03/09/14 >> 1.0.11g
Implement prune_nameindex RPC
Reduce nameindexfull.dat to 1MB from 2.5GB?
More Name_list improvements. Very Fast -should be good for 3rd party clients like mithrilmans. see github for more details.

Next Step - BlockChain Pruning...

UPDATE 17/08/14 >> 1.0.11f
Implement prune_gamedb RPC - Reduce game.dat from 200mb to less than 300kb
possible to  do
1st step for pruning - can be used automatically in the future.
Re-Use Addresses & Add a new "-noaddressreuse" command-line parameter
which disables the reuse of player addresses for movements.  By default, addresses will be reused to prevent running out of backed up keys.. This patch also changes the behaviour to send not only the player itself but also the change to a reused address. This allows for less frequent backups of wallet.dat.
More Name_list improvements and prep for nameindexfull.dat prune
Possible fix to pending problem (at least fixes one "type").
try name_clean rpc

Check github for more detailed information.

VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41RW6bxpM4

Huntercoin - 1.0.11e - Warning - First time start will take some time.
add Daemon Warmup Message
add wallet filename option (specify a wallet)
improve/fix fragmentation issues when syncing on NTFS - should provide some performance benefit.
Name_list crash fix and performance
Implement UTXO-based tx verification - utxo.dat will be created upon first start, this process may take some time.
This should help pave the way for future pruning.

UPDATE - 1.0.11 Mandatory Update (HardFork) - update before block 255k
WARNING - This update will rebuild some files (blkindex.dat and game.dat) - on some systems this may take several hours. The Process will also use up to 2.5GB ram. I'm Uploading chain for those that do not wish to do it
You can monitor debug.log or run the daemon with -printtoconsole=1 to monitor the process. Make a backup of everything first.

Remove unused data from blkindex.dat. It will be rewritten on first open and certain data removed. This should reduce blkindex by quite a bit - this process takes quite some time - maybe hours on some systems. For more information see: http://forum.namecoin.info/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1757
Implement "Cleansing" - aka Poison Disaster - Disaster will first occur on the Hard Fork Block. All Generals on the Map will be infected with a plague and will be given a random life span of 1 to 50 blocks. Following disasters can happen 1440 blocks (approx 1 day) after the last
disaster. There will then be an increasing chance of disaster maxing at 12 days.
Add Remaining Life Span to QT
Increase General Cost - 10 HUCs per General
Remove starting Hunters - You will start with only 1 General (you can still pickup hearts for additional Hunters).
Add toaddress argument to name_firstupdate -  can be used to assign a player to a specified address with firstupdate.
Implement name_update in createrawtransaction - can be used for atomic trading of names.
Various Performance Updates and Fixes (too many to list - see commits on github)
Add checks for valid player name in name_new
Add length check to IsValidPlayerName.
Add coinAmount field to players in game state
Add game_getpath RPC command - Create a new RPC command game_getpath that makes the internal shortest path algorithm accessible to front-ends.

Mining with Computer Hardware:

Huntercoin can be mined by both SHA256 and Scrypt Miners.

Each Algo has it’s own Difficulty.
Each set to target 2 minute blocks, giving an average of 1 minute blocks.
Both Algos can be Merged Mined

Happy Hunting


-----------

Known Issues -

Slow Syncing - Namecoin has the same issue. It is being worked on slowly. 2 Ways will be fixed- 1. Reimp on Libcoin (months?). 2. Play via centralized server (months). - way to sync faster :- use ram drive, SSD.



Note:

You can click config and :

1. Set Reward Address >> This allows for better co-op sharing of spoils.  They can, for example, go into a guild (companies?) bank/wallet - Websites could be created which monitor all this information, and it can be split appropriately.

2. Transfer Hunters >> You can put in a friend/colleagues address and transfer your Hunters almost instantly -- useful for shift work ? or just to transfer from one machine to another (home PC to work PC)
