I'm not one hundred percent on this with HYP, but for most satoshi based clients, you can force the issue. Start your daemon or QT with -bootstrap (eg /usr/local/bin/hyperstake-qt -bootstrap)

Most of them look for it anyway. And yes, always delete everything but the configuration file, bootstrap.dat, and (optionally) the wallet. I frequently do it with no wallet, and then copy my old wallet in when it's done. That way if something does go wrong, you only lose time.

At first I thought this was fearmongering but then I realized that this is funny HYPster.  BTW, Interesting user name.  Do you see yourself as a purveyor of hype?  
I'm trying to figure out, though, if you actually...possibly....believe that you know more about NeuCoin than this woman who does their PR!  No...it was just a joke.  Like if I were to make a joke......
"I am very sorry HYPster that you are the cuckold to your wife as all the shame will be on you once this is exposed. I sure hope you didn't reveal any personal info here. You have been duped sorry to say. I wish you the best!! Stay safe please."
That would be absurd right?

Well we've been putting a huge amount of work in this project, and it has convinced members of the community. To me it looks as simple as this!

Not sure what you mean here: all proceeds from the presale will remain untouched at this public multisig address until the NeuCoin cryptocurrency is created and launched, expected to happen in July 2015. If the creation and launch for whatever reason does not occur by September 30, all presale purchases will be refunded. You can read about this here: http://blog.neucoin.org/post/117444378516/guide-to-the-neucoin-presale
Also, this is not unusual for a crypto token project to conduct a presale before its launch, look at Ethereum for example.

The answer to this question is also in this blog post: http://blog.neucoin.org/post/117444378516/guide-to-the-neucoin-presale. Each purchase request will generate a new, unique address to which the BTC can be sent. At the end of each day, all purchase amounts will be transferred to a publicly visible multisig address.

We will be dropping releases soon.  That libqtlua stuff really kicked my butt, but I figured out a way around it to get it going, and we have some cool stuff going into the coin to help broaden its appeal since the AI stuff seems to be very narrowly focused.

I want XAI to be broader as a complete nextgen FinTech platform, with the data and algorithmic stuff as a nice technical foundation, but with more end user oriented features on the surface so we can start appealing to more people.  We have something nice coming with XaiNodes, and then our in-wallet counterparty port which is my focus this week, and then rewriting the wallet using QML/QtQuick which will allow us to do a lot more cool stuff that other bitcoin-based wallets can't.  Then our Android custom rom XaiOS.  And eventually I will save up enough money to buy the XaiSat. 

We also have a pro graphics guy doing a rebrand for us with a wallet restyle and some other artwork.

My video machine is down right now, once I get it fixed I'll be able to do more videos.

Nice, no dump today.

Do you feel there will be a pump in the market tomorrow?

I understand people r getting a bit restless. Our dev isnt much the talker yes but dont forget, if he talks much he wont work on the coin .

In the slack group is some communication so if you really want a shout from the dev i suggest getting setup and start reading/keeping up with the developments.

To be honest, i would love to see Sapience S01E05 any time soon tho .

Yep, my post made absolutely zero difference! lol

My IP is different from this: "ip", "2001:0:9d38:6ab8:2cf8:3ab5:b089:b520", which appears in "getinfo" Why is that so?

Ok cool, I'll wait and see how it goes.

Are the idiot pump & dump retards still posting stuff?  

I don't even see them anymore

ofcourse that is the always explanation  people been saying even when it rising to 800k. sorry the ugly truth is its a pump and dump

if you say dev needs to make money koz no premine thats even more messed up lol

The dev is here working on in wallet adrenaline node management features.

A little stunned tbh but not necessarily surprised.  I don't hold that many coins tbh so I'm still a little shell shocked.

You have to understand that this coin had an amazing launch and captured mindshare quickly, so we are on EVERYONE's radar by now.  Twitter personalities, traders, people into other coins, everywhere.  After scam after scam over the past year, everybody is disillusioned and skeptical.  That's normal.  There is a constant fight for capital in alts, that is the game, that is why we see people come into this thread or popular threads spamming random coins and other products or services.  In the early lifecycle its easy for people with large exposure in other coins to buy up large volumes and dump to try to destroy a competitor.  We just have to weather it and let the tech and ecosystem speak for itself.

We don't need to be going into other coin threads and trolling them or stirring things up.  We don't need that kind of marketing, we already have captured everybody's attention.  They will come here, probably forever, thats just the nature of the game.  Float above it.  Trade smart.  Know how to de-risk your position.  Put your money to work for you.  The volatility is normal.  It will probably continue for some time.  Use it to your advantage.  Look at what a few of our supporters have been doing while all the crazy shit is going on around them - they put their heads together and built a viable business with their adrenaline node service.  Block out the distractions and that is the kind of stuff that is going to pay off in the long run.

In the larger scheme of things in this crazy world, remember we are all on the same side and fighting the same battle.  This shouldn't become a cesspool of coin vs coin bullshit.  There's a line between good natured ribbing, and over the top trolling.  Let's try to stay on the good side of that line please and keep our eyes on the prize.
