I followed this ^ Exactly and it worked perfectly for me! We will need to get a more elegant solution for this in the near future but it is Great that it works!
Thanks again Chicago, Great Work !!

Hello sserge009,


    From the above list - we do have Tor service provided for the Mincoin network.
    Depending on whether you're using Linux/macOS/Windows the way to get the Tor proxy running is a bit different.

    On Linux, you'd simply install the Tor service and start it - and then you'll have the proxy listening on 127.0.0.1:9050.
    On macOS, you can use MacPorts to install Tor and then type "tor" to start the proxy.
    On Windows, download the Expert Bundle and unzip it and then double-click on the tor executable.

    After your Tor proxy is running, you can launch Mincoin with the following included inside of mincoin.conf.

    onlynet=Tor
    proxy=127.0.0.1:9050

    We're still working out some quirks with the crawlers and DNS Seeds so that each of them will offer onion nodes.
    We want the DNS Seeds to enable bootstrapping over the Tor network without any addnode entries.

    However, if you do find any trouble there, you can add fkhwktieszixa2d2.onion and cyixu5mrodmjbkpr.onion as addnode entries and you should be able to use the network entirely from Tor.

Hello,

    Previously, we shared a visualization showing off the efficiency of our new SplashGuard difficulty adjustment algorithm based on the Dark Gravity Wave v3 code designed by Evan Duffield of Dash.

    Now, I would like to share with you the classic Mincoin difficulty adjustment algorithm behavior with regard to target spacing.



    The observer should take note of the wild oscillations in target spacing which were an artifact of the asynchronous difficulty adjustment method Mincoin developers had adapted from the original Satoshi client.

    The chart above represents the average target spacing for each interval after the block 75,000 Hard Fork from June of 2013, ending at height 118,200.

    Back then, the difficulty would adjust every 60 blocks. If an army of GPU workers or early Scrypt ASICs started hashing the chain, blocks would be solved quickly and the new difficulty would be disproportionately high. When those workers stopped solving blocks, the loyal miners were stuck with a high difficulty level for several intervals and block target spacing would greatly exceed 60-seconds.

    The cycle was self-fulfilling. The profit-switching pools would find Mincoin's difficulty level extremely profitable on the various exchanges of the day and then thousands of workers would start hashing the chain and continue to solve blocks until the difficulty level was no longer profitable. After the pools abandoned Mincoin, those remaining loyal miners would continue working to solve blocks over several intervals until the difficulty dropped to safe levels restoring a 60-second target spacing. As soon as the difficulty had dropped, the profit-switching pools would return and the cycle would begin once more to drive up the difficulty by solving blocks much more quickly than the target of 60-seconds.

    The outcome was not sustainable, ideal or even fair to Mincoin users who relied on fast transaction processing and 60-second blocks.

    We believe the problem has been solved. The root cause of the problem had been identified to be great variance in the network hashrate over short periods of time. By adjusting the difficulty every block, averaging over a window of 60 blocks; Mincoin's SplashGuard is much more responsive to the dynamic nature of changing hashrate in an environment where profit-switching pools are welcome and contribute to securing the blockchain.

Is there any chance of implementing some modern and popular features, such as, for example, MasterNode’s, InstantX, Stealth, Tor, PrivateSend, Mixer, etc.?

Seems that it would be useful for Mincoin and could make a reality to become "Worlds #1 high speed cryptocurrency" not only in 2013, but in 2017 also.

 

Hey Almightyruler! Good to see you stopping by!
And, Yes we have noticed this as well. Some sites are reporting inaccurate price
data since they are using Mantracoin prices from novaexchange. We have been
emailing and filling out request forms to try and correct this with as many sites
as possible.
If you see any sites doing this we would be appreciative of you posting here or
on our forums: www.mincoinforum.com and I will get in contact with the site
owner to try and correct it!
In the meantime MinCoin is only listed for trading @ www.TradeSatoshi.com in the following market pairs:

https://tradesatoshi.com/Exchange?market=MNC_BTC
https://tradesatoshi.com/Exchange?market=MNC_LTC
https://tradesatoshi.com/Exchange?market=MNC_DOGE

Thanks again!

INCREDIBLE Improvement over what we were working with prior to the Hard-Fork!
Outstanding! Network is running great!
 - Next, graphing the chart prior to the hard-fork.
Once again, nice work Chicago!

-ST

Just a note that Mantracoin has also used the MNC ticker, so the MNC on Novaexchange is not Mincoin.

(Mantracoin seems to be a typical obscure clone/list/dev_profit/abandon type coin.)

What are the best pools for Mincoin?

We will be discussing the 4Q17 and 1Q18 Mincoin roadmap on freenode in #mincoin over the next week.
Join us to participate and shape Mincoin's future.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello,

    Mincoin's new difficulty adjustment algorithm has been in operation since the Hard Fork at height 1452840.
    Splash Guard aims to keep our target spacing approaching 60-seconds regardless of whether large pools abruptly stop or start working.

    In the past 30 days, we have seen the amount of work range between fewer than 300MH/s to greater than 2GH/s.
    The chart below averages 60-minute intervals since the Hard Fork to show the target spacing over those periods.



    Peaks and valleys represent adjustments when large amounts of hash have stopped or started working.
    The mean value on the above dataset is 61.3 seconds.

    When observed over a larger period of 24 hours, the variance is trivial.

I also have noticed the increase in MinCoin's network hashrate! And with it more nodes on the network looking to sync. I am also happy to report that our modified DarkGravity Wave v3 [SplashGuard] Diff Adjustment Algo is working Perfectly!
Great work Chicago and Team!!
I could not be happier with this update/upgrade to MinCoin!

Hello,

    Thought I would highlight some neat happenings on the Mincoin blockchain.  This week we've seen the network hashrate fluctuating between 1 - 2 GH/s.
    Thank you for your support miners!

    Also, mincoins have been doing really well on Trade Satoshi since the initial listing last week.
    We've consistently been ranking in the top 10 by volume in the Bitcoin market and are at the top of the board for the Litecoin and Dogecoin markets.

    We'd certainly like more hash on the chain to secure the network and it goes without saying, the opportunity to scoop up some cheap mincoins from early dumpers should not be missed.

    Join us on freenode in #mincoin for the latest developments.

Best Regards,

I see an average of 200 users online at TradeSatoshi throughout the day.

The troll box has plenty of conversation in English as well as Portuguese and Russian, which is nice since Mincoin is a global currency.

Network Hashrate right now is such that accumulating mincoins by mining them is quite an attractive opportunity too.

Now that we're using Dark Gravity Wave v3 for the difficulty adjustment algorithm, it would be swell to have a larger profit-switching pool or two add Mincoin.
There were users today, in the troll box, asking for a pool and regrettably I suggested solo mining to them.

Bump for updated info:

*Added TradeSatoshi Exchange to original post.

Thanks again to all the MinCoin Supporters who voted to get MinCoin added to TradeSatoshi.com !!

Hello Almighty Ruler,


    Sometime around 2014, there was a pchMessageStart change and the v0.8.8 release also has a bootstrap.dat available for your use here.

    Also, the reason the new client ignores the old one is due to a protocol upgrade.
    The v0.8.8 swarm will only inter-operate with protocol v70002 nodes.

Poking my head in after finding an old mincoin wallet from 2013... unfortunately the new client ignores the old one - has pchMessageStart changed perhaps? - so I can't make use of the 300k blocks I synced some years ago.

Is there a bootstrap available?
