The progress looks amazing. Basic automation also sounds like a brilliant move. This coin truly seems like one of those rare situations of high real value but low (perceived) market value.

Can we try to list Huntercoin on Bittrex or other exchanges?The latest "news" events from poloniex hinted that if Huntercoin didn't get another switch, so they may delete more COINS, and might die poloniex (don't say it will be deleted), but because the volume is absolutely is a chance, if they get very choice and the rest of the COINS).Other deleted COINS are doing well on Bittrex.


They never hinted anything about Huntercoin afaik, I know Tristan @poloniex is a Huntercoin fan and has a lot of respect for the project/team - but I agree it would be great to get HUC listed on more exchanges, just in case and for the other benefits too

Help from the community would be much appreciated.

Hey snailbrain. The progress on Huntercoin looks good. Looking forward to Chimaera too. There seems to be a process for a coin to be submitted on Bittrex:

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/202583854-Submitting-a-Coin-to-Bittrex

I can also message support after you submit that to help chances of being listed.

Thank you sir. I think HUC's chances of being listed are pretty good given how long it's been around and functioning as intended.

Well done snailbrain, wiggi, and domob.  Smiley All the changes seem quite sensible. You guys will be thinking about changing combat next?

Crosspost from HUC forum:

Has there been any discussion of making the fees for hunter creation dynamic? I think there are a couple of options here:

...

...

If you think about it, as any coin grows bigger, the mining becomes less and less accessible to the masses. We may just have to accept that this is a natural law of crypto. After discussing in that thread, I think (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) that the game wasn't necessarily meant to be profitably mined by everyone. I'm starting to think that that's not such a bad thing. It allows the devs to continue developing and provides them time to work on blockchain optimization without having to worry about sudden bloating of the size. A dominant mining operation won't kill the coin but 0 full nodes will.

As price increases vs fiat then more money is available to miners. Right now huntercoin is worth 0.02 usd or 2 u.s. cents. At that price most people in the world outside the wealthiest countries are prevented from playing. If the price were usd 1 per huntercoin it would be as it has been. Almost nobody could afford to play unless the price drops dramatically and since there is no way to predict the future price, game cost should be either dynamic, cheap or free.

You are using the phrase 'profitably mined' but the thing that huntercoin offers is 'human mining' which in crypto is going to be a tidal wave eventually, as more and more people realize that they can use the mining of a currency to motivate some human interaction with a computer. The big issue is that if the price were low enough mining farms might take over the coin in poor countries, as is happening with neucoin, which is being dominated by poor Asian workers. Huntercoin should step in front of neucoin and others in that market.  The 'profitably mined' issue is trivial compared to the potential growth of the coin if it is sent wild into poor countries. A very fair coin like huntercoin, which offered practical human mining, i.e., a reasonable fee that did not exclude poor countries, would be a news event.




You completely missed the point I was trying to make. First of all, we went into far more detail about all this in the gameplay changes thread on the huntercoin forum, so take a look through that. I was also advocating for a lower cost to open it up to more people. The issue with doing so is that it would make the blockchain way too big. On the order of at least several hundred gigs eventually. And the point I was making in my post is that mining always becomes prohibitively expensive to normal people as the market cap grows. Are you sure you understand how expensive it is to mine bitcoin? or litecoin? or dogecoin? Any coin with a market cap above 1M?

It will never be possible for people in those countries to actually make a decent amount off of something like huntercoin. That's a pipe dream. Huntercoin mining is a competitive game for money. That in itself makes what you're suggesting impossible. Only way you could change that is to remove the competitive, which would be silly.

Was there discussion of dynamic fees for hunter creation or other actions in there?

Yup, check pages 4 and 5 on it.

Oic, think I started on middle of page 5. Thanks Smiley

No problem. Smiley

Like I said though, even if it does change eventually, I don't believe it's happening with this fork.

Crosspost from HUC forum:

Has there been any discussion of making the fees for hunter creation dynamic? I think there are a couple of options here:

  • Fees could be tied to the HUC/BTC or HUC/USD price using poloniex API, or some other more elaborate trusted oracle setup. Obviously, this would suck if poloniex suddenly became ded, but there could be a backup that if the API is unreachable fees default to 100 HUC per hunter or something. Another option is to have bitshares like bitusd assets or something that peg the value of HUC internally, which I think is something that wiggi may have discussed at some point in the past.
  • Fees could be tied to the number of hunters on the map at any moment, or the average number of hunters over the last 1000 blocks or something. Then, if the number of hunters was low, fees go down, but if there are lots of folks playing, HUC creation cost rises.

I'm not sure if either of these ideas have been discussed, but it seems like this is an issue that begs for some kind of dynamic solution. It's not really realistic to plan on hardforking everytime there is a price movement of 3-10x or more, imo.

Yes, it's been discussed half to death on that thread you posted on. It was actually the main point of contention. I believe the decision for this fork is that hunter creation cost will stay the same.

If you think about it, as any coin grows bigger, the mining becomes less and less accessible to the masses. We may just have to accept that this is a natural law of crypto.

probably the guy who was trying (and failing) to buy lots of coins earlier without raising the price. Kudos to you, guy!

Haha, that might have been me. Although those walls up right now aren't mine. Good to know there are more players at this level. Smiley Though I'd honestly prefer the price to come back down to sub 2k so I can pick up more at my leisure, but the market seems to be saying no. D:

I was looking through the market caps of every coin on Polo earlier. I think there were maybe 4-5 that were smaller than HUC's, but I don't think any of them have any real development going on. Just a fun fact.

And with the current cost of 200 HUC to summon a hunter plus the price where it is right now, it's about $3-4 per hunter. If the game scales up to more players in the future, I can envision a stable price at least 10x what it currently is. If the goal is to make the game accessible to as many people as possible, how could the average player be expected to throw down $30-40 (or more) for a single crack at playing? Is there some plan in place to address radical changes in HUC value? Or is this not actually a problem?

From what I understand, the game becomes prohibitively more expensive as it increases in popularity. I very much understand where Huntercoin is coming from from a conceptual standpoint. I just don't understand it from an economics standpoint.

This is a problem, yes. We are already discussing what changes to make in the next fork after Huntercore on the Huntercoin forum. Lowering the fees was one of the first things agreed upon, although by exactly how much, we're not yet sure.

Thanks for the quick response. Smiley I'll read through that thread and see if I can think of anything to contribute.

Hi, I have some questions if someone would be so kind as to answer.

I see in the initial post that HUC has a supply cap of 42m coins, but there's no mention of a tapering of the block reward. Will coins be distributed to the game world and miners solely from hunter deaths and other fees past that point, or...?

And with the current cost of 200 HUC to summon a hunter plus the price where it is right now, it's about $3-4 per hunter. If the game scales up to more players in the future, I can envision a stable price at least 10x what it currently is.

Good new update ladies and gents!


Just cut a deal with a huge broker in the business who currently has a large amount of crypto promo on the go and wanted to work with VIRAL to further his reach for the people he contracts with. We came to an agreement for him to do business through viral that he would collect a commission on all contracts he brings to the table, these are ones that I would not get anyhow since they are working directly with him and his company only.

We broke the ice with a deal just today to test the waters, a basic package, 3btc which payment was promptly sent minus the commission so Viral received 1.6 btc which I just used to buy 1.6 btc worth of VIRAL right off the sell wall on Bittrex and then did the following.

Bought 1.6btc worth of Viral from sell wall on Bittrex
29999 Viral sent to Burn address VCCEX1Burning1Service111111XV4Ye5X

This new deal cut with this individual is a great one since his current reach is incredible within the scene and will be the icing on the cake for VIRAL I am sure he will bring some good action to the table again and again after seeing how nicely executed VIRAL campaigns are, first hand! So no stress on the low one time influx of 1.6 btc, the big long term picture here is what means the most when dealing with a high calibre broker.

I am currently in talks with a few interested individuals as well for packages and I will be putting up a fun action as planned, tomorrow! Everyone will have a chance to name their own price one time only for a basic promo package valued at 3btc and the auction winner will benefit greatly. It should get exciting since the auction will start off at .5btc!

Be on the lookout for the auction thread tomorrow!

Adam G.

Awesome stuff, this is the kind of news that's exciting to see! Going to try to buy more as soon as I can get funds to bittrex.  Grin

It's unfortunate that Bittrex delisted LMR but hopefully we can get relisted at some point if life comes back to the coin. I guess I'll use Bleutrade in the mean time. If some developer comes on board to fix the supply to 150k or 200k I'd be willing to donate LMR to that cause.

Exchanges and pools are connected again. Mining hash is moving the blockchain.  Explorer is up at Cryptobe.com

Interesting to note that for a coin with "Just 100K supply," the block explorer is showing 115,064 LMR outstanding, still growing by 2 LMR every block.  Someone who knows better should look into the code.

By the way, here is a big wallet I came across that is holding 23k LMR http://cryptobe.com/address/LRbr9qVSmJzK3YgjEmbfjjXmZT3T7mKLS7

Damn, I had my suspicions of this since there didn't seem to be another way for the blockchain to run. Thanks for getting the chain and an explorer running again. I guess the rate is pretty slow so the inflation hopefully won't be a game breaker.

That wallet seems to have a huge number of little transactions making me think it might be Bittrex's? Could be one person though I suppose.
