Awesome job.  Looking forward for my Pi to arrive in the mail.

Hi,

We will start the first HyperLoan experiment/promotionnal campaign today.

What is HyperLoan?
The idea comes from cycoinminer
A (relatively) new HYPster get 10k HYP as a loan. It is loaned for free. He keeps it until it stakes. Then he sends the 10k HYP back and keeps the reward. Max time for keeping the HYP is 30 days (can be decided shorter), so this leaves room for experimentation, smaller blocks and maybe (for the most audacious/lucky) even enough room for a second stake. So, essentially, consider it a 2k HYP giveway.
The lucky chosen HYPster will have his nick on a hall of fame.

What if...
The HYPster could very well disappear with the money. This is a gamble, an experiment, we expect the HYPster to play fair. If he doesn't, his nick will be on the Hall of Shame to be forever remembered as a scammer.

What are the conditions?
To be relatively new to HYP and to show interest - ideally, to also have not much HYP, but on this we can only trust the person to give us his real and only address.
To maximise the chances, the candidate must have a sufficient amount of posts and be known by the HYP community - presence on the ANN, the IRC or the trollbox.
This will be subjective.
The selected HYPster is encouraged to proselytise HYP whenever he can. For instance, he could add to his signature "Proud winner of the HyperLoan" with a link to this very post. This is just a suggestion though. It is in his own interest to have HYP succeed and we expect him to act accordingly. Rather than hard rules about what to do, we prefer common sense. Such common. Much sense. Wow.

Since this is the first time, we will only select one person (if it proves successfull, Part Deux will have more than one winner). Still, a shortlist of maximum 5 persons shall be established. This is YOU, the community, who will propose the name. People can propose themselves or someone else. You can win HyperLoan only once in your lifetime.

Go!

update: IstvanDV on IRC proposed that "the borrower would register new address in block explorer for better traking something like, mafort-HyperLoan". Let's elaborate on this.

I think Poloniex has treated us well, and I wouldn't want to take any volume away from them by getting on Bittrex or Cryptsy. Actually, I think we would be better served by targeting BTER, BTC-E, and BTC38, all Eastern European and Asian exchanges in other words. I think it would attract new volume and users since those areas seem to be more interested in high PoS (as a matter of fact, I'm surprised "old guard" high PoS coins have never marketed over there). Also, these would probably be new users and not cannibalize  any Poloniex volume

I made a custom RPC call tonight "export difficulty" and here are the results put to a chart. I exported them every 5 blocks past 21000 (thats when PoS only began) and then charted the average of every 5 cells so that it wasn't too much of a mess.

how does POS coins normaly work on exchanges? Never owned any before. 

F*ck NO, you don't want HYP on Bittrex or Craptsy !! Because those f*ckers are staking POS coins from user deposits !!

I very much like this idea.
This could be done manualy trough a trust person if the wallet suported multiple stake for cherity fields. so once staked, everyone would get their fair share.

There should be like staking pools.... People deposit there coins and it gets pooled with other coins so its like a big collective weight. Similar to how people used to how people solo mine (like we are soloing stake) and then went to pool mining. As the 1k block reward gets tougher to achieve, this sounds like a very plausible idea. What do you guys think?

You might be using the wrong one. Mine does in fact show 1.0.6.6 on the about page. Try redownloading it, I updated the OP with the correct link. Thanks for the heads up!
