Snailbrain, have you tried having a chat with rsnel about the daemon/merge mining crash? He's pretty clued up on the whole thing..... Wink

already did

still waiting for some pools to upgrade and test (and exchanges).. i've already PM'd/emailed them.

seems is working for most people.. maybe rsnel can help you.. but need backtraces for devs to look if you are getting crashes still

Hi all just looking into hunter for the first time. Can someone tell me what all snailbrain has done in the past and what other of the devs working on this coin have done in the past?

Cheers, happy hunting.

do you mean in general, or do you mean in crypto world? if mean what other coins, what are there? anyone can create a normal altcoin.. there are only 3 or 4 which actually show innovation.

I managed the development of Namecoin-qt (and initiated, funded, designed? UI) and co-ordinated deployment of critical namecoin bug spotted by Libcoin (Michael @ Kraken)

I created(?), funded, managed, designed (all game mechanics/UI/concept) the Huntercoin project, and am liaising with devs, pools, exchanges and others to improve it.

The thecoder Mikhail, passed away 2+ weeks ago - he was the C++ expert who converted thoughts into code ("impossible" was not in his dictionary). Mikhail coded both Namecoin-qt and Huntercoin..

Devs working on the project :

Khal - Lead Namecoin dev for 2+ years?
Domob - Namecoin Dev, working on various namecoin projects, and also is undertaking the reimplementation of Namecoin onto Libcoin (and will then attempt the same for huntercoin) - this should give significant improvements.
Huntercraftmine - very skillled and has a few devs who work with him

MithrilMan, not sure what he has worked on in the past, but his client speaks louder than words anyway
Huntercoin.info - not sure of this history. but his website shows his ability

Many pools are assisting and other people of which are too many to list.

I think the dev needs to contact Cryptsy and asks if they have any difficulty in adding HUC to their market.

I have - can't do anymore, need to be patient.

Yes, I got the crash logs. Other developers were faster than me. Crash seems to be related to non-thread safity in the JSON IO library.

Nice one rsnel, thanks for the reply

Peace

Rsnel can't you please explain why the client is so slow during downloads? And when we play the game?

I ran the client in the debug mode of Qt Creator and I could see that the interface freezes during

AcceptToMemoryPool
askfor tx
askfor block
received block

etc.

Snailbrain says it is because of the "reorgs" during downloads of blocks. Domob did a patch, but I am too far behind to actually get the client working (need to download the blockchain).

Domob's patch is here: https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/13

reorgs are only causing pauses during gameplay (maybe other reasons also) - (also does the same with daemon, so don't think is qt related atm)

downloading the chain is another issue of which namecoin has too.. if rsnel can help, it would be awesome as can be ported to namecoin

domob patch doesn't fix the pausing.. we may still commit it later after some more discussion
