Topic: ★★ [ANN] MindCoin [MND] - Raising Awareness of Mental Health, By Trading ★★ - page 3. (Read 52665 times)

Here is what we can try and do. I saw some other coins doing masternodes, Bitcoinfx was going to do them for gapcoin and some coin I saw yesterday made a big deal of them so it is something important I guess.

If Mike will hold an exchange wallet to stabilize the price, for example guarantee a minimum price so there are miners, I'll contribute a little to start that. He would have to agree to buy mnd for a certain minimum price as long as funds are available to buy at that price. He would sell large blocks at maybe that price plus 10% and use profits to do something with the coin, maybe some of his donation ideas.

If you want to figure out how much it will cost to experimentally start a masternode project and post a btc address I'll donate enough to start it as long as it is within my means. Then you see if it is easy and if it helps the coin, and if it does I'll offer bounties for starting more

.

Once the coin is stable and not prone to hijacking then Mike is a good public figure. Coin devs take a lot of abuse and especially for this coin it is important to have somebody up front to take the heat from trolls. Then others can start sideprojects.

https://themerkle.com/what-is-a-masternode/ I think it's something that requires redoing the coin somewhat, not clear. If you or somebody who knows about tech can figure out what is required and the cost and how to do it then post. i'll try to research

This is what I noticed yesterday https://chainz.cryptoid.info/flax/#!network You can see at the top it lists masternodes instead of hashrate and on the thread there is a lot of chatter about masternodes. That coin used to struggle a bit so it sure helped them.

Here we go http://masternodes.pro/ I'll message Mike Wheeler and see if we can get that set up, if he thinks it's wise


As far as I know only Yobit is keeping the coin going and somebody seems to have a helpful node in France that helps synch quickly. Exchanges are important to stay alive at the moment, but the trend in coins will definitely be toward some other solution. In a few years probably every business, maybe even every person will have their own coin. There will have to be some sort of instant network that arbitrages all coins and there will have to be some more deliberate way a person allocates their funds between coins, like maybe a wallet that arbitrages coins and lets you say how much of your 'wealth' you want in each coin. Hopefully mindcoin can stay ahead of that trend.

Hi peter.
Very much appreciate your responses.  Am actually very very keen on this project.  But am really not technically literate very much. I cannot tell you definitively what a masternode is, but it's like

Maybe an advanced proof of stake method.
And it is a form of mining from the little I know. But don't be too quick to qoute me.

Am certain MND coin will pick up interest bit by bit.
As a community forms around it, some community members will be either very technical or they will know someone who is.

Peace and love.

Ha ha my thoughts on that. I know about as much of masternodes as about neuroscience. If you post a brief summary of what masternodes are and whether they will solve the network problems and then you post how much it will cost to do that I will give my opinion.

Also every coin is literally going masternode.
Thinking that could help secure network as well as grow community.

What are your thoughts on that.

Appreciate your answer peter.  What exchanges is mnd on apart from yobit?

Maybe a useful algorythm, like gridcoin, primecoin, gapcoin etc is more useful than a unique algorhythm. Cryptography itself is a murky thing and a new hashing algorhythm may not be useful long term, but there will absolutely be a trend towards useful algo coins.


Awareness of the coin is important. Coinmarketcap may not be best, this coin is meant to provide a mh consumer economy so maybe ads on mental healthy sites better. I've thought about that and will probably do something like that if the coin stabilizes. Until mining is secure, the network is secure, a person should focus on that and I don't know much about that.

Once network problems have been fixed, and block times are even and mining is fair then post an idea and I'll probably support it and try to help.

How about simple marketing.

No one can invest in mindcoin unless  they know about it. And while no marketing is being done, someone with bigger funds can easily profuce something similar and get further....I mean like mindcoin community contributing and advertising on coinmatketcap for one.

A cryptocoin should now have a unique algorithm in order to live. Much of the cryptocoins are basically dead.
Observe BTC vs BCH war closely and you'll see.

his dependency list is wrong, in order to get his sources to compile you have to install the packages listed here.

There are people that sabotage smaller coins by attacking the network so they can make a little money quickly. For now there is not a lot that can be done about it but eventually it will get sorted out. When a small coin doesn't seem to synch you should go to a reliable explorer and see if the blocks have big gaps in when they are extracted.

You posted on July 13 and there had been no blocks on July 11th, 12th and 13th https://chainz.cryptoid.info/mnd/#!overview but there was on the 14th, so hopefully the wallet synched.

Currently there has not been a block since Saturday two days ago so a person has to wait for that block before it will be caught up to today. Maybe at some point the scumbags who overpower smaller networks will lose that ability but until then it is just something to deal with.

It has now been a week I think that my wallet is stuck not fully sync

I was on sync and at a point it announced a 12 hours remain for been on sync.
this value did not change for a few days.

I closed the wallet, reopened it this morning and now announcing a 47 hours behind....
not progressing at all.

Is there an issue with the network or is it the wallet ?

Without bootstrap, I don't want to delete files in the roaming folder and beginning
again the syncing from scratch without beeing sure it will go up to sync

thanks for guidance

Yobit is definitely a wild west exchange, it would be nice if they cleaned up a bit.

The future of coins is definitely decentralized exchanges and once that option becomes a little easier then a lot of small coins like this will do well.

The network right now is still small, at the moment 12 peers in 5 countries.

The biggest risk is an exploiter destroying the coin by mining crookedly, as has happened with a number of coins. Something still does need to be fixed, and I think the dev is working on it, but so far the only problem seems to be there are still occasional one or two day gaps when no blocks are made. If that issue is ever fixed the coin will probably look more mineable to professionals.  Block reward is so small now anyway though that somebody has to be eating grass and bark and twigs to play mining games.

If somebody has some knowledge of coding and wants to try and make a peatio http://www.peatio.com/ https://github.com/peatio/peatio or blaketrader type exchange where people can easily buy small amounts of mindcoin, ... A faucet too might be better.

Mindcoin has bounced around a bit with regard to its purpose. On the original pre ann thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-annmnd-mindcoin-mental-health-awareness-10042015-1010004 there was some of the usual attacks on new coin devs / motives. The donation idea has never really worked well for any coin, nobody likes to donate through middlemen, unless the mafia is involved, e.g. the United Way in the U.S..

The awareness theme though is strong and will probably carry the coin far. For every person who knows what a schichtzen zipsu or whatever is i.e., the dog represented by dogecoin, there are far more who have direct experience with mental health issues, either directly or as a citizen in a country run by untreated mentally ill, or some other experience.

What differentiates the mentally ill from the rest of society is not rationality or some psychological deficit, it is the fact of not having enough power to be one of those who decide what sanity is. A currency can potentially create a group, like a country, which has its own rules.

yep, except that Yobit providing ZERO support, I personally have an 2FA issue
for 3 months to open my Yobit account.... and different coins of me are stuck there...

so don't want to put other coins there and risk them as well

Yobit should not be anymore in existence.... so many people having
unsolved issues.

So, personally, wil put the coins on the side and we will see in the future
if there is something new ;-)

MND has been touching 100 sats on Yobit but Cryptopia is too expensive for new coins so better probably to spend the small amount of dot collected on something else, maybe convert to MND and use as bounty?

thansk , great, it is now syncing ;-)

For nodes it is usually always better to go to an explorer since those nodes are alive at the moment.

If you go to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/mnd/#!network and click on 'node list' you get the following

addnode=137.135.51.197
addnode=138.201.65.88
addnode=158.69.248.93
addnode=188.165.194.146
addnode=192.99.0.112
addnode=192.99.8.126
addnode=51.254.196.222
addnode=51.254.45.117
addnode=69.64.35.244
addnode=88.99.248.15
addnode=94.19.244.216
addnode=98.115.147.74

I downloaded the wallet... but no connexion.

Is there a list of addnodes still working?

I tried the one in entry post.. but does not help

thanks

This is the only link to a working wallet, as far as I know.

Great, and received. Planning on going further with more effort in relation to donations. In relation to the domain, the .xyz domain was left to expire with the intention of a .uk or similar domain, something aimed more towards a specific country for the MindCoin as a whole. Will have this sorted.

Dev has done a lot of work. If somebody wants to start a new website it might make less work for him. 1and1 has .com / .org domains on sale for us $1 for the first year and then $20 or so at the second year if you renew. https://www.1and1.com/buy-a-domain-name#stage

www.MindCoin.org is not currently registered http://whois.domaintools.com/mindcoin.org

You could get it for $1 american money. https://www.1and1.com/buy-a-domain-name
