Mr. Latapie already gave us some good "tipping" alternatives, like "Get tHYPsy." We could also do things like "HYP It."
"
Feeling tHYPsy?"
I like "HYP it" too (different contexts, so, complementary).
A certain amount of the DOGE community wanted it to move to PoS before anyway. Additionally, in the same way that DOGE was the first crypto to a lot of people, I think HYP can be the first crypto AND PoS coin to a lot of people. MINT did really well getting Reddit types to invest in it for the PoS angle. HYP is more "fun" to hold, can operate in large numbers, and better models the value of good content and ideas continually paying dividends.
Would work even better with a stacking bot (well, not sure actually, since you need thousands of HYP to have a decent chance of staking in less than a month - here MINT is actually better than low quantities of HYP, since staking is unconditionnal).
HYPER is a high-ish PoS coin (60% I think per year) trying to be a gaming currency. The main problem with their model imo is that they are doing things like trying to *make* MMORPGs, when in reality, the better thing would be to try to be the gaming and microtransaction currency for *current* web based games. Early on in HYPER, people were talking about it being the Runescape and Japanese web RPG microtransaction crypto of choice. Now, THAT is interesting. I don't think anyone is really trying to attack this angle, and I think HYP could make good inroads into this niche.
High potential, but still too early, I'd say. But definitively worth considering it.
People like to gamble and play games, but it's a shame that when they end up losing, the fun is over. If you play on SealsWithClubs with BTC and lose, that's it. However, a high PoS coin lends itself to creating specific principal "foundations" or "endowments" to fund particular things. Say someone wants to spend $100 a week gaming. Well, they can setup an address in their wallet specifically for this purpose and use "HyperSend" to automatically send a portion of their stake to their gaming site of choice to play with.
Completely agree. For the curious minds:
http://hyperstake.wikia.com/wiki/EndowmentDoge started with a meme. Maybe we need to find memes and attach ourselves, and our coins, to them
Hyppy the tardi, a blue cartoon-like tardigrade? Tardi are cute, alienish and incredibly resistant in cryptobiosis mode -
tardigradePreviously, I had thought of another blue alien: the
5th Element's divaHyppi the tardi would be cuter.
That gave me the idea of possible having hippos as a mascot
We get fat off our PoS
Anything to make HYP fun and viral is the way to go. The fact that the coin can have a serious and fun side lends itself to fulfilling a lot of investment niches while pure meme coins, like DOGE, can only fulfill one.
Mehh. There is such a
logo for a famous French restaurant franchise and, well... I'm not convinced for HYP. Plus, Hippos is for HiPoS, not for HYP specifically.
I don’t know if any other coins operate anything else like this, or any specific services are out there, so this may be blatantly ripping off other ideas without realising it.
Mintcoin had the same idea one or two months before, but it was not put into practice.
An interesting spinn-off would be the piggybank idea
In turn, having a themable wallet make it easier to have a theme for children - remember what I said about learning?
financial illiteracy is plaguing the modern world. Piggycoin was the first coin to try to address this topic and we believe that HyperStake with HyperSend could help raising awareness on sharing and saving - plus the ease of keeping track of spending thanks to the blockchain technology."
Hypiggy? Short, fun, child-friendly
When putting all of this together, this means:
HyperBank, helps to widen adoption and to increase the bounty wallet ("all benefits go to the community wallet", a not-for-profit bank, ^^).
Hypiggy, the child/educational version of HyperStake
