Good luck. Pretty sure there's more to the failure than low hash rate though...
Looks like my daemons aren't peered up with any other clients

I've gotten 3 blocks but it may be futile. Looks like I may be mining my own little fork.
I've got nodes at 70.98.114.237 & 70.98.114.229 if anyone wants to
addnode=70.98.114.237
addnode=70.98.114.229
in their hypercoin.conf
EDIT: I stopped mining until I can get more connections to the HYC network. Will try again later if I can get some peers connected.
EDIT2: I mined 5 blocks but I still don't have many connections. I did see one new one. I zipped a current blockchain from the new client on my windows box. You can get it
here and put it in %APPDATA%\Hypercoin and maybe get the fork to sync and connect to the network. Unless Zacho comes back and gets things on track I suspect HYC is dead. I also emailed BigVern at Cryptsy to see if we could work together on getting the network back in tact.
