Snail, can you update us on the current situation with cryptorush?

I've emailed him.


And I bet their response started with a greeting and ended with a farewell, right? Exciting news!

Sorry, I'm having a bad day.

Just a summary on Poloniex, so everybody can read it here.

Huntercoin balances are not affected. Bitcoin balances are, but will be reimbursed.
Apparently somebody found an error, which let him withdraw more than he had in his account. 12.3% of Bitcoins (not funds, just bitcoins) were stolen. Poloniex said they will deduct 12.3% of all Bitcoin balances for now - again, just Bitcoin -  and reimburs everybody once they have made enough funds from fees.
They said trading and withdrawals will be frozen for another 10 hours or so.

I think they handled it very well.

Also "Some btc stolen" is just a terribly scary bit of information. They should be more reassuring, even if there is no reason to be.
If things aren't clear, I prefer the news to stay unclear. No point in given clear-looking news ala MtGox when you don't have definite answers.

poloniex volume had been going up significantly, but i wonder how much of the deposits where in btc (rather than altcoins), though I guess all buy orders were susceptible (being still in btc).

If only 12.3 % were stolen, I'd rather have him not say anything for now and not cause everybody to try to withdraw.

Can somebody give a short summary of what was being said in the trollbox? They really should tweet their info or post it here and not chat in the trollbox.

You are awesome!! Maybe do what Sanglot said and put it in the original message and update it once a day, but there's no rush. People will spread this link.

@Snailbrain :

Is it possible to "cut" the blockchain ?

For exemple,the block 80,000 keep all informations, each address has X HUC, player Y is here and he's moving to here etc.
All this informations saved in one block,  like this a new player will only downloading 1 big block to play, block number 80,000. Because the sync of huntercoin is very long for non-SSD hardwares, 2 hours downloading for 24hours played. I thinks it's bad, our blockchain weigh 1,7GB in one month ! Downloading the blockchain from start take long time, maybe 60 hours... It's a big problem to attract new users.

not really (easily).. in the future when domob re-implements huntercoin onto libcoin, then maybe there can be some pruning.. also it's possible to prune the nameindexfull.dat file, now i believe.

it is possible to make lite clients, and that's what we're planning, they will work in a centralized way..

Wouldn't it be easy to set up a website, where people can download the blockchain? Dogecoin did that for example.

I don't know how much the server would cost...maybe everybody could donate a bit or somebody who supports HUC would be able to host it.

Hi, I am thinking about buying some Huntercoins, but am a bit worried. Can somebody tell me why there are already 650k Huntercoins? There should only be about 250k with 10 created each minute since february 1st.

Difficulty takes a while to adjust, and pools add hash "bit by bit"

to be fair, it's probably better, otherwise no one would have had a chance to play (without paying a fortune per coin).. at least everyone has had a fair chance incase they do go up in value some more..

also the majority of the coins come from inside the game, so the masses have all had a chance to get them (even if block times have been fast).. and 5k of giveaways were given out over the first few days (maybe 7 or more?)

Thanks for the answer! I found this article: http://cryptolife.net/huntercoin-the-coin-thats-a-game/. There it says there were already 39,000 blocks, when there should have only been 9000. Are people aware of this? I am worried they might start calling it an instamine when it gets bigger.

instamine is not really relevant.. and it's been the same miner(s) mining since day one till now.. because they are merge mining with bitcoin and litecoin

it just means the game was faster - miners only got 1 coin per block up until about block 4500 (due to some forking, no one really got any coins inside the game).. and after that, they still only get 10% when a player banks coins.. and people probably didn't start destructing each other until much later (miners get 4% of dropped coins)

I gave out giveaways since block 50 or something.. so insta-mining has no relevance tbh

Most coins come from inside the world


Thanks for the quick replies! I'm gonna buy some now.

Hi! Is anybody interested in buying a 50k krill account? You get to play all the freerolls, including the 10 btc freeroll which runs every 22 days and had 60 entries the last time. Also, 19% rakeback.
We could set up an escrow on 2p2 or maybe here if there are reputable posters who offer it.

They changed the freeroll structure after I made this post, which makes my account mainly worth anything for the 19% rakeback. Total additional rakeback up to 50k krills is worth about 1,685 btc. I'll show you how I calculated it, if you pm me.

I had a problem with a small bug, which lead to an unintended amount on a bet. It seems to have been partly my fault for not checking thoroughly enough. Support was very fair about it and compensated me.

So it's a great service with nice support. Just wanted to let everybody know.

What I don't get is why people are absolutely appalled by the idea of a premine. There needs to be some incentive to get good people to invest time and if they premine 0.5% it really doesn't hurt anybody. If you do great work you deserve to be paid in my opinion.

If people would accept some amount of premine the quality of coins should increase drastically.
