OK, how soon for that wallet release? as I am working with the RPi2 right now and 700mb is extreme. most wallets I run except for one are less than 200mb..

MINT is moving away from the single-file storage format for the next release which, among other things, will reduce it's resource footprint.

Whats up with the latest Mint wallet?? uses a lot of Ram compared to the last update.
MINT has always ran a bit heavy compared to some, I'm not a coder so I don't know what IgotSpots did but his latest project "Primechain" only uses about 20mb of memory. If MINT ran that light I would keep my wallet running 24/7 but right now I only run it when it's time to stake or need to use it.

The Fact that you can use math to get that close to the interest rate change without the specific block Number ahead of time, is pretty impressive.

The Freeze up was caused by a quirk from the PoW Phase to the best of understanding and should not effect , the future interest rate changes. Roboguy fixed that problem after Rent_A_Ray helped him.
Slip up on my part, I meant to say Roboguy. Good catch!

is there a bootstrap or a downloadable copy of the blockchain for MINT?? it is really slow syncing..
go to http://www.mintcoinofficial.com/ and under download wallet there's a bootstrap September 20, 2015, 08:15:05 PM
That utility is pretty slick for downloading the blockchain!!

I found this page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/3ajk5b/wallet_not_syncing_again/
Once I downloaded and followed the readme it went really quick.
I did have to do use -rescan on the wallet afterwards to get my missing coins.

What are the optimum block/input sizes for MINT Staking?
I'd recommend a minimum of 100k for block sizes if you want to stake quickly after reaching block maturity

After Block # 2102400 , Mint will start 10% rate.
Final 5% rate starts at block #3153600.
Final 5% rate starts at block #3153600.
How did you come up with those specific block numbers? What methodology are you using to calculate and determine that?
Right now, according to my revised estimates, the 10% annual rate will start around ~November 3rd
Last time, the blockchain froze when this happened... and Supasonic patched it really quickly and we moved on. Is the blockchain freezing to be expected again this time, or is that all completely patched now?

The Freeze up was caused by a quirk from the PoW Phase to the best of understanding and should not effect , the future interest rate changes. Roboguy fixed that problem after Rent_A_Ray helped him.
PressTab fixed the timewarp problem. To be honest , Supasonic has not fixed any major issues yet, but he has made a lot of commits to the source code.
However always wise to keep an eye on the explorers when that block # hits just to be safe.
Right now, according to my revised estimates, the 10% annual rate will start around ~November 3rd
If the blockchain keeps 3 blocks per minute that is 45 days from yesterday , and technically our numbers ~ match (~3 days difference). But it is dependent on the blocks generated when Mint arrives at the block #, but the block # itself is predefined in source code.

Good question. I hope someone knows the answer.
The last estimate I heard was October / November - CoolBeans seems to be the man with the most accurate estimates in this area though Best Guess.
Answer depends on how fast new blocks are found.
After Block # 2102400 , Mint will start 10% rate.
Current ~ # 1892244 ,
If Mint average 3 blocks per minute 3 blocks * 60 minutes =180 blocks per hour
180 blocks *24 hours = 4320 per day
2102400-1892244= 210156 blocks until change
210156 blocks /4320 blocks per day= 48 days
However if Mint average only 2 blocks per minute , then
2 blocks * 60 minutes =120 blocks per hour
120 blocks *24 hours = 2880 blocks per day
2102400-1892244= 210156 blocks until change
210156 blocks /2880 blocks per day= 72.9 days
So you are looking at the change happening somewhere between 48 & 72.9 days from now.
But the block # the change will occur at is #2102400 .
FYI:
Final 5% rate starts at block #3153600.

Does anyone know @ which block the interest will drop down exactly?
Expecting some action in the week before that
