Although im gutted by the drop in price ive still got my little bag.

I believe in the dev, the coin, the tech and his ability.

All the people who hold will be rewarded and im certainly going to set up a node

The anon code in HAL is not the CRYPT project code. The anon code in HAL is new and a completely separate project. The HAL project has taken on help from a few developers, graphic artists, and some others who work as freelancers, to help meet all needed goals and complete projects. Many of these people were the early miners and/or investors. Most projects get added support from early adopters, through the first pages of the thread the original developer asked for help. HAL has done nothing but deliver on promises and goals and tech, the developer or developers cannot be blamed for the ridiculous swings in price. This is manipulation, plain and simple. You can see in the market, 30 btc of buys at 20k. This is not support for a pump, this is unfair players waiting for you to dump your coins to them, because they're betting that HAL will continue to meet its goals and rise once again. The mood of the thread follows the swings of the price, and these manipulators have done some serious damage to the price by causing a drop from 60k to 20k when there was nothing wrong and the promised anon implementation was released on time. Nobody will trust sleeping while holding HAL after such obscene swings in price, and it's upsetting. It makes no sense - the price rises to the moon and everybody was so jolly when HAL was just a shitty proof of stake only coin with no features whatsoever, an ugly graphic, a bad ANN, and no website. As soon as the developer released Peersend anonymous system, contracted a professional logo, had code reviewed by a trusted developer, and posts pictures of website progress, the price does nothing but drop. It's like the community begs to be scammed, they love the promises and hype and don't give a care about the technology or delivery, and just dump their investment, even at a loss. That is sickening.

I think a lot of devs have had to accept that much of the community just moves to the latest coin even if the dev sticks with it.  This is frustrating to them so some them have just chosen to play the game too.  I have more to say on this but I am on my phone at the moment.   I am going to solve this issue though. Lol.  A man can dream.

Agreed that we should be pushing people to set up masternodes for anon tx.

You are absolutely right on every point there.
If you want to see price go up, you need to encourage people to set up masternodes and secure the anon transactions.
Also, focus on the anon as a core feature of your coin and build on that, that is what makes this coin unique and that is where it can thrive.
Start an anonymous marketplace for all kind of stuff, not just one product.

After completing the anon, its all about giving people possibility to use it.
Many BTC holders want to anonymise there BTC, maybe think of a way to use HAL as a means to do that without having to use exchanges.

There is a community here!

The Halcyon dev is still working, he's been busy and getting burnt out, he didn't leave his room for 3 days while finishing Peersend. I offered to work on the Halcyon website in exchange for some HAL but I haven't received the full agreed amount yet, also I offered to post in the thread for him when he was going to be sleeping soon, one time when I replied I posted a reply from my name. I'll continue to assist the dev if he needs it.

I was alerted to this post and another by many friends and this is my reply in both:

So dev is a rogue dev that runs away after anon release?

Please explain situation with dev posting as cryptowest.

I work on many projects, as part of many different teams, many more than these three. I'm a freelancer, and I make my living assisting projects, whether it be compiling wallets, setting up pools, doing blockchain explorer, assisting with coding, coin repair, website development, graphics, connecting people to each other, and lots of other tasks. People from other coins might hire my help sometimes, or I hire their help, or outsource things. I quit my job in web design after my involvement with the Coinye West project back in january, and I've worked as a cryptocurrency-related freelancer full time and prefer to assist existing projects. Someday I wish to complete my own personal dream project and do an ICO with my real name and identity, but until I've made enough money freelancing to be comfortable, thats on the back burner.

Most coin teams are 5 to 10 people, sometimes many more are involved as devs are contracted for one task and then leave. This shouldn't come as a surprise. Coin communities may fight each other and have rivalries but we're all part of the larger cryptocurrency community.

Best of luck to all.

Just because a developer supports more than 1 coin doesn't mean he's scamming everyone.

HAL is a strong coin with a solid roadmap and a committed developer.  I have held my coins through this price drop and will continue to support it as it rebuilds and the new features are released.
