It was never represented to me as a 1-year experiment for fun.

Snailbrain is not the type of person I would want to do future business with is all I'm saying.

Putting that "one year experiment" part aside, let me ask directly: What improvements would you like to see for the Huntercoin project? Is there any help you might be able to offer with them?

Note that the codebase is roughly up-to-date with Bitcoin Core from a year ago. I think that's likely much better than most Bitcoin-clone-shitcoins out there, even if they are on exchanges and pumped by shills.

I personally like Huntercoin a lot, it certainly is a piece of crypto history, and I still hold a non-trivial amount of coins myself. So if there is any concrete proposal for getting involved and improving the project, I'm more than happy to support you on that.

I was about to jump in say yeah lets do it, but... I do not seem to be able to connect to any extant huntercoin nodes...

Huntercoin was a great idea but at this point it might be better to start from scratch and reissue the coin with everything the same as from the genesis block, minus premine and with an updated client.

Some history which you know, but for the benefit of anybody else.
1) Many years ago circa 2013 / Coin ran great and took off immediately from the start.
2) Bots started running the show so people created bots instead of playing.
3) Was heavily traded on Poloniex and Xaya/Chi announced a free supply of the new coin to all Huntercoin holders.
4) Poloniex stole the Xaya/Chi that they were supposed to distribute to their customers.
5) Mining continued on a blockchain that had some questions raised about it, as yet unanswered as I recall.

Starting the coin from scratch, no premine, up to date client, slow emission curve would give some newer crypto enthusiasts a taste of what crypto was about one time long ago.

Domob used to maintain the client as I recall so it might be good to see if he would be willing to do such a project for free. Ha ha I am generous with asking other people to do stuff for free.
