first fully functional staking mobile wallet client:

librex ... instamined ... rookie
shadow ... instamined ... lots of Dev promises so far no delivery
mint ... fair enough POW phase ... got the capital to go where it wants

Who will it be?



Exactly.


I long for the day when people wake up to the greatness of Mintcoin  Smiley

Well, speaking of delivery, we could use some. We are long overdue, but it looks like Mintcoin is here to stay and will deliver on the Android wallet soon enough. Right now it is undervalued, and beaten down, maybe a little off the radar now. No other coin has survived the $%!*storm of negative things Mintcoin has had to endure and still survive. Yet Mintcoin lives on. Progress is being made. Everything great about the coin still stands. The very name "Mintcoin" has a lot of intrinsic value for great marketability. Mintcoin had a huge bear market, down 90%. In my experience when you spy an asset that's down 90%, it's a "buy", unless it's going under. There are not very many opportunities like that. At the bottom the story is always terrible, don't touch it with a ten foot pole, forget about it, they are going broke...blah blah blah. And it turns out to be a huge "buy" and you triple or quadruple your money. You have to look for bad news, and find coins down 90%.  That's what I see in Mintcoin, of course the story looks bad at the bottom. It looks terrible, but I think there is potential for Mintcoin to triple and still be at a fair price.

ShadowGo: The First Staking Mobile Wallet

The anonymous-based proof of stake e-currency Shadowcoin (SDC) announced that they will be releasing the first fully functional staking mobile wallet client in about a week. At launch, only an Android version of this wallet will be available, but according to their Bitcointalk announcement post (link), they will be releasing an iOS version shortly after that.

Interesting, they are claiming to be the first PoS staking Android wallet...I believe Librexcoin was actually the first to have a staking android wallet.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annlxclibrexcoinstaking-mobile-walletsmultipool100-posblocknet-703042

Looked into the specifications of both coins, and neither are long-term sustainable, imo. Very concentrated initial distributions/mining phases (Mintcoin's was excellent), and the proof of stake minimum ages are totally unrealistic...only the top few addresses will control all of the staking... Shadowcoin is also not secure because it has no maximum staking age and also Librexcoin, only those with a large % of the money supply would ever stake. Mintcoin is much more "fair" and balanced.

One coin to rule them all
I did try to pull through all of the homepage content and feature the most important points of the coin above the fold. I also tried to break down the verbiage for non-techies to understand key points about the coin.

I would like to make a recommendation:

Don't leave it up the the reader to do the work of figuring out the math. Come right out and say it...

Extremely fast 2 minute transactions. 30x faster than Bitcoin! Orders of magnitude more energy efficient!


You should actually say how fast the transaction speed is "2 minutes".

Well... I tend to agree on that argument.
But first of all it is not "transactions" that is faster, it is confirmations, which is two different things.
Bitcoin has a transaction time of a few seconds, similar to MINT. The transaction occur when a node picks up the signed transaction, the transactions will then spread to the other nodes on the network.
At this time is the transaction not reversible, however the possibility of double spend is possible (but extremely unlikely).

The actual confirmation of this transaction is when the transaction is included in a block - AND THIS is significant faster for MINT compared to BTC.
And from here is double spends a looser's game, since the double spend would be at least one block behind.

In real life micro transaction is confirmation not important, unless you trade some thing big such as a car, house, goldbars etc. - and here is the waiting for a few confirmations not critical.

But yes, marketing that MINT has fast confirmation is a way to go, its just not that important for the average user.

So if we should quantize the transactions time, like coolbeans suggest (which is a good idea), then would it be a matter of 1-2 seconds - or rather "instantly".

Guys your website design is horrible (im not saying content is bad-it is badly presented and absolutely confusing). Awful template and logo looks like made by 3rd grade kid.

Look at https://www.vericoin.info/ this is what i expect to see nice and fast design and professionally looking logo.

You should recruit a professional designer for this job, change the childish logo.

Hi Raiuk,
First and foremost thank you for taking an interest in Mintcoin and our growth.

I completely understand your frustration regarding not having a shiny new website with a fresh logo instantly after this transaction; however after careful consideration our team opted to first work on our messaging, meaning, and overall value to the community before initiating these changes as this takes significant time and manpower to complete and we have allot of projects currently on our plate. At this given point there are currently around 30 open tasks to complete taken from notes within all of the social streams that we are strategizing as a team to ensure we take care of our community as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Once we finalize cleaning up 6 months worth of maintenance requirements as a team I am sure we will come together and create a killer site that features our community strengths.

Until then....
Keep on minting my friend....

Will you donate the money to hire a professional designer?
The project is powered by voluntary powers.

E.g. we need to rise 0.05 BTC in operation cost for the web page every month, look how much that is donated this month:
https://blockchain.info/address/136Xh9eLa6yYzcApqG2NCevv9PT6Xsy392

Wow!
0.021 BTC  

That is $11.70

Not gonna get much "professional designer" for $11.70

Ok, but there are volunteers as well and she said already she hired a designer but haven't seen anything yet which would suggest so.

No investor is going to put any money in this coin if he lands on that messy website and a template looking like I just entered late 90s.

And the logo the font is a first class joke.

Dude,
if you want to design what you would consider a better looking page, then feel free No one is stopping you.
But for most of us , the page is fine and does the job.
Their are other issues that are much more important to be dealt with at this time.
By the way wise investors will be looking at the coin and it's design and performance , which outshines almost all of the rest.
 Cool

They just redid the website like literally "today". Did you see what they had before? This is now better than what they had before, imo, so progress is happening. But there is always room for improvement.



Indeed. Yesterday I converted the back-end template to a mobile friendly design and tried to clean up the content / apply the new template across the site. I still have a ton of work to do with the footer, want to specify the addthis.com code for our social networks as the defaults, and go through the entire sites content with a comb.

I did try to pull through all of the homepage content and feature the most important points of the coin above the fold. I also tried to break down the verbiage for non-techies to understand key points about the coin.

I was hoping on some feedback on the three notes at the bottom of the page. (also contacting one of our designers to see if they can create a nice icon to go with the boxes).

We are working towards continual improvement across the entire Mintcoin network. Many of us are working on several projects at a time.

If anyone has any imagery / content they would like to contribute - don't be shy!
Throw them up on google hard drive and send them over - we would love the help!
