June 2nd, 2014 / New cryptocurrency HYPER features proof of stake interest for stakeholders, and is sponsoring the development of a space-based online strategy MMO: where players can earn HYPER by growing their own galactic empire. The HYPER wallet is custom built with a space galactic theme. Pen and paper RPG fans worldwide can also be paid HYPER for playing old school RPGs by post on the HYPER forums. The team is also reaching out to MMO and online game operators worldwide who would like to integrate HYPER as an in-game currency into their projects. Substantial bounties are offered for operators who see the benefit of using HYPER as a game-world currency and HYPER has team members dedicated to reaching out to MMO operators worldwide.

Proof of work Scrypt mining is only available for another 4 days before HYPER moves to pure proof of stake: rewarding holders with 5% monthly interest in exchange for supporting the integrity of the low energy proof of stake HYPER network. With only 4.5 million coins to be mined and staked (the vast majority will be mined) before the coin moves to 100% proof of stake phase – HYPER will be rare indeed.

While cryptocurrencies and MMOs seem like obvious partners, an MMO which uses a cryptocurrency exclusively as its in game currency has never been seen before. HYPER will be sponsoring the development of a space-based online strategy MMO / virtual world which will include HYPER as the in-game currency. The HYPER team’s vision is to explore the universe, develop planets, form trade agreements with other players and acquire resources and technology which will generate HYPER for players. Plans to add more emerging currencies such as Devcoin and Bitcoin also exist.

The HYPER team plans to use open source content / frameworks to speed up the development process and is reaching out to developers worldwide to contribute. If required investments will be made on key tools and infrastructure:

“The HYPER MMO strategy space game is a long term project. We currently have a project manager, game concept world designer, sound designer, editor and graphics modeller on board. Anyone can join the project and be paid in HYPER for their contributions. In the meantime, we are also looking for online MMOs / games / virtual worlds and others who would like to integrate HYPER into their platforms as in-game currencies and earn substantial HYPER bounties for doing so.”

As well as establishing partnerships with established MMOs, the HYPER team is also looking to sponsor developers that are in the planning stages of any kind of online game / virtual world / MMO and would like to use

HYPER in your game world: “We can offer a substantial bounty for your work once it is live. The only limit is your imagination. If you have an idea for any service / game which will support HYPER please get in touch and we can arrange a bounty for you once the work is complete, essentially sponsoring you to develop your awesome idea.”

“Our vision is to add value and sponsor hundreds of innovative online indie games and virtual worlds across the globe through the integration of HYPER. The success of any cryptocurrency depends on the extent of its ecosystem and the options available to users for using the coin to exchange it for other items of value. Due to the number of exchanges and online services and games which will support HYPER over the coming months and years we expect this coin to have a strong, diverse and growing ecosystem. The stronger the coin, the larger the projects we can sponsor and the more benefit we can bring to developers, gamers and end users of HYPER.”
