It’s been a while since I’ve done an article where I speak kindly of a coin, but this is one of the rare occurrences that I find something worthy of my praise. I’d like to introduce you all to HunterCoin. This is by far the most interesting and inventive altcoin I’ve seen in the past year, but it has remained largely unnoticed amongst the flood of litecoin clones and pump&dump coins. HunterCoin is a fork of Namecoin that uses namecoin’s protocol not to resolve domain names, but to host a decentralized game that is played on top of the blockchain. Instead of mining, people can earn coins by playing the game.
