NLPool has notified us via Telegram they have upgraded.

ANNOUNCEMENT


    It is with great pleasure we announce the immediate release of Mincoin Core v0.13.0.

    This is a mandatory upgrade which includes security enhancements and several new features.

    The network will undergo a protocol upgrade for BIP66, BIP65 and the CSV softfork (BIP68, BIP112 and BIP113) with this release.

    The protocol upgrade will take quite a while to lock-in and become active.
    Therefore, we have lots of time for promotion and bounties.

    We hope you enjoy this new release as much as we enjoyed making it.

    And for the final good news, our testnet is already fully functional with the new protocol and has also been upgraded to support SegWit.
    Feel free to test all of your NextGen applications on the testnet and don't hesitate to ask for some tMNC.

    The Release Notes are comprehensive as there were many changes between the upstream 0.8 branch and our rebase to v0.13.0.


POOLS AND EXCHANGES AND SERVICES


    As of today, Trade Satoshi is aware of the upgrade and has put Mincoin into maintenance mode.
    Mining-Dutch is aware of the upgrade.
    NLPool is aware of the upgrade.
    Bill's bot in ##altcoins on freenode is aware of the upgrade.
    CryptoBetFair has completed the upgrade.
    The tipbot on the discord server has completed the upgrade.
    DiklopiJo's block explorer has completed the upgrade.

    We are still awaiting acknowledgement from 803Mine and BlockMasters about the upgrade.
    We have not yet reached out to BiteBTC.

    Transaction fees remain the same.
    The minimum network relay fee is 0.00005 MNC.
    With this release, dust is 0.00002730 MNC.

    New Feature - Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets.

    The best way to upgrade is with a fresh installation.
    Most users will want to do this to take advantage of the HD Wallet feature.

    If you have a second computer then it should be simple to start with an empty data directory, install Mincoin Core v0.13.0 and then transfer your mincoins from the old wallet into the new wallet using your other machine.
    Always shutdown Mincoin and make a backup of your data directory before upgrading.

    On Windows, the data directory is in %APPDATA%\Mincoin.
    On macOS, the data directory is in ~/Library/Application Support/Mincoin
    On Linux, the data directory is in ~/.mincoin

    This new wallet is going to rebuild the blocks ondisk in a new format and so it will look like a full sync from genesis on the first startup.
    We have built a linear bootstrap.dat to help speed up the process.

    Tutorials and other automation including deployment routines will come in time.

    Be advised to upgrade as soon as possible.

    One of the easiest ways to deal with moving out of an old wallet and into a HD Wallet will be to temporarily deposit your coins somewhere else and then withdraw them into the new wallet after the full sync has completed.

    Look for us on the Mincoin Discord Server to receive technical support.


SURPRISE


    We now support ARM architecture (both 32-bit and 64-bit).
    This means you can easily use your Raspberry Pi to run a Mincoin node.


Best Regards,
-The Mincoin Core Development Team

Also there is a contest on Volta Gate, a brand new exchange which has added Mincoin.
You have a chance to win up to 100 MNC.

Click here for more information.

The mincoin chain has mined its 2 millionth block.

that could be a very big thing. if MinCoin wins this competition it'll be a huge milestone for the project. I think you should push this more among the communities and also run a small bounty to increase vote.. I saw that coins doing bounties to get votes on exchange listing competitions. maybe that could help you to bring on the top 10.

Most likely, your anti-virus is removing the executable when you attempt to run it.  

Oh, I have been around since the start of mincoin, and check in from time to time. 

I wonder how many Mincoin Alumni are just silently waiting for some news.

It would be good to know if we'll see some old faces to help build the team as things advance here.

September 2017 - Now has definitely been a rebuilding phase.

I agree with SuperTramp and know just a few more hands on deck could do big things for the Mincoin Project.

I am in agreement with you.
Saying we are 'short' of funding for dev-ops, marketing and general project maintenance is an understatement.
Yet, we are still pushing the project forward. Please take a look at our Newly Re-designed Website: https://www.mincoin.us
And we are currently working on a MAJOR wallet update that give our users and our network many new benefits.

Thanks for your interest and support!

I have just tried to download the windows wallet from the website and github. Both times when I try to run it it says I do not have the permission to access it. Then it just vanishes. I have tried the discord invites in order to ask for help but none of them are valid either. This is not the first wallet I have set up but I really don't understand what is going on here. 

Can anyone help me getting this wallet setup?

If you ever have a problem downloading from our website you can also
download all wallet versions directly from the Official MinCoin GitHub
here: https://github.com/mincoin/mincoin/releases

For your convenience we also have a bootstrap.dat of the blockchain in the
/mincoin/releases as well to speed up sync time!

What is the marketing strategy for this coin? Who is the target audience?

The new faucet site is cool.
I like how it works directly with CryptoHub.onlnie

If anyone from the MinCoin Community has been Verified on this exchange [ BiteBTC.com https://bitebtc.com/ ] Please reply to this thread, send me a private message here or in the MinCoin Discord [ https://discordapp.com/invite/Dqdw772] ! We have several members reporting that they have submitted their KYC/AML documents Over Two Months Ago and still have Not Been Verified for trading or given an update on their verification status!

Thanks!

Hi Leroy,

    It seems to me the marketing strategy has been directed towards appealing to folks who take notice of a few key things.

• revival status
• quality of network
• speed of network
• limited circulating supply
• 5-year project
• steady technical progress

    The network still needs an upgrade for some important BIPS.
    This isn't really on hold as much as it has been re-evaluated to be more efficient.

    I suppose you're wondering who would want to trade mincoins and which merchants would want to accept them.

    This is a good question too and I would like to see a report from people on the street who have asked for mincoins to be accepted for goods and services.

    Much of the "marketing" has been reaching out to traders on the exchanges or to miners at the various mining pools.

    We probably need to formulate a timeline for completing the network upgrades and executing a public awareness push.
