I couldn't see a richlist for TRUCK - I was interested to find out who the biggest holders are and to see how well it's dispersed, which will be obviously mirrored in HYP.
No richlist that we are aware of for TRK. I personally would like Unick to be the one creating the HYP block explorer, since he is most familiar with this - and get some inspiration from some great NOBL richlist, while we're at it.
So, just for clarification; wallet.dat is to be COPIED from TRK to HYP, and both wallets will still initially work with equal coins?
or are we moving from TRK to HYP and closing TRK?
from what i'm reading; we currently have a sort-of buy one get one free thing going on, yeah?
No (we are not closing TRK) and yes (buy one get one free, but you must buy before hard fork).
So if i buy TRK, i can then get my HYP, and then sell my TRK?
Yes. You can either dump them, sell them carefully at more than the price you bought them, or just stake them too (you can stake TRK and HYP). TRK will still be PoW, whilst HYP will not.
