Overview of HEX

  • Hex can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, giving the user extra three appeal points if a status-inducing status move (except Psycho Shift and Rest) or a certain damaging move (Force Palm, Inferno, Nuzzle or Zap Cannon) was used in the prior turn.
  • HEX allows a user to stake his or her HEX coins for a share of the new HEX coin issuance, or inflation and contains features designed to incentivize behaviors that encourage price appreciation and disincentivize behaviors that encourage harm to the price.
  • Hex-Rays was founded in 2005 by Ilfak Guilfanov, a software developer, a computer security researcher and a well-known senior architecture of several highly regarded software packages including the world-renowned IDA Disassembler and Debugger.
  • HEX uses the Ethereum network for the transaction layer (sending and receiving HEX tokens, as well as interacting with the HEX smart contract), whilst the consensus code and staking mechanism is contained in the HEX smart contract.
  • Hex is a deceptively simple game first invented by Danish mathematician Piet Hein in 1942, who called it "CON-TAC-TIX." (or Polygon) It was later independently re-invented by famous mathematician John Nash?
  • Hex is played on a rhombus of hexagons, where both players pick two opposite sides each take turns putting stones down on the board to try to form a solid connected bridge to opposite sides.
  • Hexadecimal numbers are "natural" to computers, because computers store and handle binary digits, and four binary digits make one hexadecimal digit (see Binary Digits):
  • Hex uses 16 digits including 0-9, just as the decimal system does, but also uses the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F (equivalent to a, b, c, d, e, f) to represent the numbers 10-15.
  • Hex addition involves calculating basic decimal addition while converting between hex and decimal when values larger than 9 (the numerals A through F) are present.
  • HEX is distributed to Bitcoin holders by way of a snapshot of the Bitcoin UTXO set that occurred on 2 December 2019 at block height 606227.

    • Blockchain

    HEX is an ERC20 token launched on the Ethereum network.HEX is designed to be a store of value to replace the Certificate of Deposit as the blockchain counterpart of that financial product used in traditional financial markets.HEX is also designed to leverage off the emerging DeFi (Decentralised Finance) ecosystem in cryptocurrencies within the Ethereum network.

    Praise for Hex:“Strange and delightful.The past half-decade has seen a spike in oddball novels about brainy women in various states of crisis; think of Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, or Halle Butler’s The New Me, or Danzy Senna’s New People.These three novels succeed, in part, because their prose and protagonists are leached of joy.Dinerstein Knight inverts that strategy.She shoves joy at Nell, and makes Nell greedy for it.How could a reader—or a botany professor—not be charmed?” —Lily Meyer, NPR.org “[A] swift moving, sardonic novel.Dinerstein Knight paints a withering portrait of this web of toxic romances, and of the excesses of academia, while illustrating how both the heart and the mind can be broken and reshaped by changing circumstances.” —The New Yorker“As precise as any scientific observation and far more tantalizing.” —Vogue“Poisonous plants, disgraced Ph.D.candidates, a cooly charismatic mentor, and a multiperson love entanglement with a shape-name more complicated than ‘triangle’ populate this strange, delightful novel of a woman obsessed.A macabre premise executed with absurdist panache.” —Keziah Weir, Vanity Fair’s “21 Best Books of 2020” “A sophisticated, surprising take on the campus novel (with a welcome dose of witchery).Knight’s writing feels a little wild and charged, as if you’re constantly on the edge of discovering something new with her.” —Goop “Academics tie themselves up into a pretzel of betrayal and desire in Rebecca Dinerstein Knight’s propulsive second book, which reads a tiny bit like AS Byatt after dark.Unfolding as a series of notebook entries, Hex tracks Nell’s growing obsession with Dr.Joan Kallas, her advisor, and a staggering number of side affairs that begin happening as she chases a poison that will undo itself.This is a bold and highly charged book that makes entertainment seem like not such a bad word.” —John Freeman, Lit Hub “This may be the first novel I’ve read that illustrates the other side of the quirky coin.It’s playful!Eccentric!Plants are involved!You really have no idea how a particular sentence is going to conclude, even when you’re approaching the end of it.[I] think it’s ‘rather good’ .. Read if you like: Lydia Davis, the word decoction, dabbling in Wicca, Wordsworth’s botanical-themed poems, peacocks.”—Molly Young, Vulture “Con­tained and bewitch­ing, Hex is a love let­ter, a diary, a sci­en­tif­ic study of rela­tion­ships and desire.There’s a lush dark­ness here, and [Knight’s] tight, poet­ic lan­guage bol­sters the novel’s intel­lec­tu­al New York hip­ster cool to become some­thing more ver­dant, more unex­pect­ed.Ten­der and enchant­i­ng.”—Russell Janzen, Jewish Book Council“Hex is less Donna Tartt and more Ottessa Moshfegh: sardonic and strange.The novel is a delightfully odd pastiche of courtly love.With its dark humour and loopy lyricism, it bewitches.” —The Sunday Telegraph“A luminous, manic, clever, sometimes-too-clever, funny, tragic, and frustrating botany of desire and taxonomy of poisons.The real witchcraft of this book is in its prose.The intellectual joy of this book is where, in the time honored tradition of William Blake, Georgia O’Keefe, and Seymour Krelborn of Little Shop of Horrors, Nell gardens her feelings.She takes us on a tour of flowering poisons, from sassy bark to ricin to monkshood, to cashews.Nell presses flowers and poisons and desires into her journal until they become a single universal language.If you’re a fan of desire, if you’re a fan of cacti, if you like poison, here’s a book for you.” —Carson Beker, Lambda Literary Review“The working minds of Knight’s characters are simultaneously so precise that they feel scientific and so familiar to one’s own life experience that they feel magical.Nell is seemingly distracted at times but is actually astoundingly and delightfully perceptive, and she reveals the complex truths of this story deftly and easily.Hex is a book for those who feel adrift and solitary, for those who feel overwhelmed by themselves.Ultimately, it’s a story about harnessing what is out of control—and learning that perhaps the only way to control a poisonous thing is to first embrace it.” —Chicago Review of Books “What happens when five academics and an administrator walk into a book?Everything.Nell, our heroine, is equipped with a unique skill set: an incredibly biting and satirical sense of humor, a profound psychological acuity, and enough self-loathing to make her utterly fascinating.The scrutiny within the laser-sharp focus of her gaze makes alive all the other life forms in this story—plants, animals, people, dirt.The overlap in all the varieties of love and pain—felt, given, shared, afflicted, scorned—mingle within this group of six making this novel a most brilliant conjuring.” —Lucy Kogler, Lit Hub “Knight’s dark, off-kilter and entirely beguiling novel is written in the form of Nell’s scientific notebook, which is filled with botanical references and grows increasingly unhinged as her captivations and grudges mount.Toxins threaten to infect Nell’s relationships, her university, and her own ecosystem, but ultimately her passion for beauty and joy in the world elevates her, and poison becomes its own poetry.” —The National Book Review“[An] arresting novel of obsession.Nell’s intensity and the hypnotic, second-person prose convincingly render the protagonist’s bewitched, self-destructive state.Readers who liked I Love Dick and want something more lurid will appreciate this.” —Publishers Weekly“Knight writes in a distinctive, addictive, and poetic style in which every sentence provokes and nothing is predictable.” —Booklist“In her brilliant second novel, Rebecca Dinerstein Knight cannily explores both the poisons and the antidotes of love, ambition, mentorship, and yearning, and she does it all in prose so lively that I often found myself laughing with pleasure. Hex is some dark and joyous witchery.”—Lauren Groff, author of Florida“Rebecca has written a book that examines our natural and absolutely astounding reactions to each other.The language of this novel is so finely tailored, so elegant yet organic, so absorbing that it takes the reader a moment to realize that this is not just a deliciously engaging tale of what it is like to be social and sexual, but that this writing is an actual incantation in itself.It is a beautiful, spooky spell that divides and processes our innate potential for poison or pleasure.” —Jenny Slate, actress and author of Little Weirds  “Hex reads like a botanist’s cross-breeding of The Secret History and Dept.of Speculation, full of brilliant and bodily obsession.Rebecca Dinerstein Knight is both a scientist and a magician, and she conjures this beautiful spell of a novel with total control.” —Emma Straub, author of Modern Lovers “Hex is sexy, unhinged, revelatory, so smart it gives the reader whiplash.It works on you like the poisonous plants that wind through the story line, until you’re as obsessed and intoxicated as the vivid characters that make up this love hexagon gone fascinatingly and beautifully wrong.I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun reading a book or was so impressed by the wizardry of the language.” —Julie Buntin, author of Marlena    “Hex is a gem of a book: sharp and exquisite.Dinerstein Knight writes about women’s obsession with devastating wisdom, insight, and humor.It is pure pleasure to be under her spell.” —Julia Pierpont, author of Among the Ten Thousand Things“Hex offers pleasures on every page.It is wise, funny, suspenseful, and quite moving.Dinerstein Knight takes great care with every word.” —Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Here I Am“Hex is neon-bright and guided by a fierce, scintillating interest in the innermost chambers of the human heart, where melancholic and bright humors mingle together.  In every line you hear the voice of a writer who knows how to lead you expertly into the place where the story is most alive: spooky, shifty, darkly funny, and delectable in every way.” —Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine“Offbeat yet entirely precise; original and universal.Hex is a nut with sweet meat and a poison shell, at once disarming and quietly devastating.This is a book for anyone who’s ever felt adrift, or felt alone, or loved someone out of reach, or all the above.” —Rachel Khong, author of Goodbye, VitaminPraise for The Sunlit Night“Quirky, exuberant.An original work of gentle irony counterpoised by delightful sincerity, which offers distinct turns of phrase with precision and beauty.” —The Wall Street Journal   “The Norwegian Arctic of Dinerstein’s imagination is a strange and wonderful place.The constant sunlight of midsummer feeds the book’s dreamy, surreal quality.Her narrative style is also dreamlike.” —The New York Times Book Review   “Luminous.Dinerstein brings a contagious wonder to her storytelling.” —O, The Oprah Magazine   “Darkly charming.” —The New Yorker   “Dinerstein’s much buzzed-about debut novel is a fanciful Arctic Circle romance between a Russian immigrant raised in a Brighton Beach bakery and a Manhattanite seeking refuge from family problems in a Norwegian artists’ colony.”—The Forward   “Engaging and alive.The Sunlit Night heralds the beginning of an intriguing career in fiction during which Dinerstein will hopefully continue to take us off the beaten path.” —Huffington Post   “A rare find.With precision and ease, Dinerstein gives us a love story that’s about so much more than finding love: it’s about finding yourself in the company of another, even when you’re far from home.” —Bustle   “Dinerstein’s special blend of melancholy and hope renders a character-rich, multifaceted story.” —Elle   “This poetically written novel .reminds us that love is more important than geography.” —New York Post   “It’s hard to read The Sunlit Night without feeling as though you’re enveloped in warmth, swathed by the author’s lyricism and imagery.The sensation is one unique to Dinerstein’s hand—and perfectly matched for the sun-soaked Nordic tale of lives intersecting at the top of the world.” —Electric Literature   “Captivating .[Dinerstein’s] prose is lyrical and silky, but it’s also specific, with acute observations and precise detail.Provocative.A rich reading experience.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    Why are you launching this?

    Bitcoin started the revolution in trustless, immutable, distributed peer to peer digital currency.It started worthless and over 10 years reached a value of $300 Billion USD.In 2021 it is used more as a store of value and speculative instrument than a currency.Bitcoin has only 3 main functions: Send, Receive, or Mine.If you want to earn interest on your holdings, you must entrust them to a centralized third party.These are security holes that are often hacked, destroy privacy, or introduce fees if you want to get your funds out.The parties are so important to users that the companies themselves have made more profit on Bitcoin than its founder.HEX adds a staking function which pays stakers instead of miners.This replaces these third parties with a trustless Peer-to-Peer to system.Instead of sending your HEX to an exchange so they can lend it out on your behalf to earn interest for you, you just send it to the same Smart Contract that minted all the HEX in the first place, and it credits you interest.If you’re given programmable money, the first thing you should program is interest.The Certificate of Deposit (CD) is one of the most popular banking products in existence.HEX is the first CD on the blockchain.It’s much better than a CD though, because a CD won’t pay you more if others decide to close their CD’s.HEX does.If only 1% of coin holders stake, your ROI per a year as a staker exceeds 369%.If 10% Stake average ROI for stakers is 36.9%.If 20% stake average ROI for stakers is 18.45%.Instead of sending you money to a foreign mega-corp to buy mining equipment which shows up late, used, or never at all, you can skip the depreciating asset and electricity bills and just stake your coins.The longer you stake, the more bonus shares you get.~20% bonus shares per extra year of stake commitment, payable on all stake lengths over 1 day.HEX includes all of the features of Bitcoin (send, receive, earn) and adds Trustless Interest through staking, where longer stakes pay better than shorter.

    Why didn’t you do this on XYZ other blockchain?

    Because the chain we chose has the best auditors available, the best bug bounty program, the best development ecosystem, the longest track record, the highest market cap, the most developers of any suitable system.

    Why is there a Late End Stake Penalty?

    Because the stakers expired shares are sitting in the stakers share pool reducing everyone else’s payouts and there is no way to update the state of the system to know those shares are expired unless someone runs a function to update the network.Running functions costs a small fee, so it is the responsibility of the staker.Anyone can run the good accounting function for anyone else.A generous person could run good accounting for all the stakes every 2 weeks and no one would ever pay this penalty.

    Will the Ethereum price effect HEX price?

    Ethereum’s price does tend to affect HEX’s price becuase of the liquidity tying the two together in the largest liquidity pool for HEX: ethHEX.com Otherwise the Ethereum price and the HEX price are determined individually.HEX only uses the Ethereum network for transactions and smart contracts.

    Will the Ethereum price effect HEX price?

    Any wallet that can store ERC-20 tokens works.If you want to use custom functions (staking, claiming, good accounting) you need to use the options shown on the homepage, like go.hex.com with metamask or other custom solutions which are harder.

    History of HEX

  • In 11×11 Hex, there are approximately 2.4×1056 possible legal positions;[27] this compares to 4.6×1046 legal positions in chess.[28]
  • In 1952, Parker Brothers marketed a version.
  • In 1964, mathematician Alfred Lehman showed that Hex cannot be represented as a binary matroid, so a determinate winning strategy like that for the Shannon switching game on a regular rectangular grid was unavailable.
  • In 1976, Shimon Even and Robert Tarjan proved that determining whether a position in a game of generalized Hex played on arbitrary graphs is a winning position is PSPACE-complete.[25]
    A strengthening of this result was proved by Reisch by reducing quantified Boolean formula in conjunctive normal form to Hex played on arbitrary planar graphs.[26] In computational complexity theory, it is widely conjectured that PSPACE-complete problems cannot be solved with efficient (polynomial time) algorithms.
  • In 2002, Jing Yang, Simon Liao and Mirek Pawlak found an explicit winning strategy for the first player on Hex boards of size 7×7 using a decomposition method with a set of reusable local patterns.[30] They extended the method to weakly solve the center pair of topologically congruent openings on 8×8 boards in 2002 and the center opening on 9×9 boards in 2003.[31] In 2009, Philip Henderson, Broderick Arneson and Ryan B.
  • In the 2000s, by using brute force search computer algorithms, Hex boards up to size 9×9 (as of 2016) have been completely solved.
