I haven't seen it mention here yet, but while the dot info site disappeared, there's a new Hobonickels website:
https://hobonickels.io/I think this is from the same guy who runs the Twitter account and who made the HOBO token on Ethereum. In this case, he did a good job. It's a decent site which links to the code and binaries on Github, as well as a recent snapshot.
We could have a working explorer if someone wants to pay $15 a month to
http://explorer.dognose.net:3011/ (that's a demo version now).
For inspiration, here's some quotes from Horus (the crypto hobo), to whom this coin was dedicated:
I'm a terrible trader. Technically, with my job, I can't really talk about investing and stuff like that, but even if I could, people wouldn't want my advice. I end up bagholding a lot, I just hold coins and hold coins and hold coins.
A lot of the time, pumping just means giving your money to better traders.
I remember watching some Wall Street traders coming in, some day traders. And they were just mystified, they lost their shirt right off the hop. Because they weren't used to such volatile markets. And they weren't used to 24/7 markets, they were used to markets closing at a certain time, and the place not changing.
When the Bitcoin price was around $250:
> My uncle actually bought a bitcoin when it was 800. And now every time he calls me, he throws in a reminder that he bought a bitcoin at 800.
> There's no quick 5-minute talk on Bitcoin. It's a multiple-hour discussion, when you're trying to talk to somebody about Bitcoin, not convince them, but just describe it. Their minds are so set in the traditional banking system, that they can't wrap their heads around it. It almost sounds to good to be true at first, and they don't buy it. Or too bad to be true, it depends on how they look at it.
These quotes are from an
interview with Rick Stoner on his online radio show Doged Radio, undated but probably from March 2015.
