***Announcement***
We have some news regarding upcoming plans for the coin.

Over the last couple of days, we had a breach of trust regarding the dev master node and funds, there was a considerable amount of HTH taken.

We want to draw the line in the sand here that there will be no witch hunt to whom the person was, as we have already dealt with the issue.

First thing is first, the charity wallet nor our partners have been affected in any way, and master node holders will notice they have been receiving larger payments irregularly.

Good news for the coin and current holders is that this has pushed forward the planned development of the coin, and to that end, I would like you all to welcome our latest member of the senior team @CircuitBreaker#9827.

His reputation proceeds him in terms of blockchain development and we a very excited to have him as a member of the team.

Development:

We will be doing hard fork, to the latest Dash codebase

This will enable us to be up to date with the blockchain technologies, but also unlock some of the rich features which have been requested:-

Bip32 & Bip44 - Unlocking merchant capabilities

Dip3 - Dip3 - Deterministic Master node Lists is a completely new approach to setup master nodes

IPv6 - Allowing for multi-tenant VPS, i.e. more than one master node on an IPv6 enabled VPS

We are also making some more improvements to the coin specification base on community feedback and consultations:-

Reduction of the required master node collateral from 2.5 Million HTH to 1 Million HTH

Reduction of total supply from by 1 Billion HTH

Reduction of block confirmation from 360 blocks (6 hours) to 101 blocks (1.7 hours)

Moving up the timescales for halving period, dropping this from 2 years to 1 year

In order for us to facilitate this move, we will be instigating a stop and exchanges will be informed to stop trading

What does this mean for me?

We will be swapping your existing coins from the existing HTH blockchain to the new HTH blockchain.

In order to facilitate this, we will be using the excellent services of RESQ, details to follow.

There will be a mandatory wallet update, and the old chain will be frozen

We will make another announcement closer to the time.

Obviously, there will be questions, we will create a channel on our discord to field these
