Re: [ANN][HUC] Huntercoin - decentralized game/crypto UPDATE 1.0.12 15/09/2014
When you play Star Craft 2 - you send your harvesters to harvest, they return to base and cash in, then they automatically go back to the harvest area..
Other units auto attack approaching enemies.
Is that a bot game?
What is needed is for everyone to have the above abilities - you can use BGB's harvesting bots for havesting, or use Domob's python framework..
or - pay someone to make something for you if you can't do it yourself..
otherwise - wait until more stuff is released, e.g. by BGB or Mithrilman or whomever
as BGb said, you can play as a human now - although the slowness means some automated stuff is definitely a good advantage

The basic point is that people can and do automate the huc mining using bots. There is not an interest among the developers to keep it a human mined coin.
You can argue back and forth etc but basically if bots are encouraged then the market cap is limited and the coin is not a good investment. It may be fun to play but allowing and encouraging bots means it is meant to profit a smaller group.

I have ran up to 24 or more QT clients at the same time spread across multiple PCs. At that rate limiting to 20 each still gives me almost 500 bots.
If a person can do that the coin is dead as far as being a currency. Not only does the mining algo lack the simplicity of other coins but also it draws people in under the guise of 'human mining' while a few key people set up bots to cash in.
Can anybody get in on the botfest? Sure. Will anybody? Few.
Very scammy.
You cant avoid some bots, you need some bots even since the game is so slow, unless you want to watch the game 24 hours a day. Everyone will have access to them. Also I think humans will have the upper hand no matter how many bots are around, since there are so many ways you can attack them. Huntercoin is one of the most innovative coins out there, go troll some other thread and stop wasting these people's time.
