Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 235. (Read 1369778 times)

Good morning!

Android Wallet News:
Paspi has locked up some time for the finalization of the android wallet, testing and a soft launch of August 15th. He has spent several months building this app from scratch and is very excited to share with the team.

We are currently seeking a private pool of testers for the code. Please pm me if you would like to be on this list. Private testing should take place towards the end of the next two weeks.

The initial launch will not be PoS - however we have an alternative which another wallet developer is already in the progress of working on.

Investor Relations:
I have been speaking with several investors since the start of Mintcoin discussing the investment opportunity and there have always been 2 major concerns with the coin.

1. Pre-mine - GONE
2. PoS Rate. - Let's Talk About it.

I saw a post awhile back (reddit I believe) that supported the 20% PoS rate. It noted that currently we are actually only at 12.5%? (will find article later - numbers may be off)

I would like to propose that the 20% be discussed within the community and a decision is made by everyone whether or not we decrease that number. Personally I would like to see it at a range between 6%-12%

Here is a link one of the investors shared with me:

A final note:

Mintpal Manipulation:
edit: shakes head. Lets get to work guys and put this person to shame...

LOL...would love to know who's running the box.

As an initial introduction to the coin, the minting aspect is secondary. We're talking about small amounts of Mint from one Wallet to another for the express purpose of exposing the name (brand) to a wider audience.

From those newly exposed, some will decide to become investors and will download a PC wallet before loading up on the coin.

It's unlikely newbies out of the crypto arena will download the entire blockchain to receive 1000 Mint just to check it out. But a quick download from the Playstore and receiving Mint in a matter of minutes is highly likely to win new players.

hope mint can to da moon again

Looks to be usable except pos minting... I wonder if he implemented his own spv store if he didnt not sure how checkpointing is working.. probably needs months of testing that 1 dev cant do.

No mintcoinj and no github updates in 2 months looks like hes working offline until ready. If its really 99% not sure the holdup, maybe to buy more coins lol.

Sure looking forward to that final 1% being completed.
That was 3 weeks ago. Can we expect it next week? In 2 weeks? In 3 weeks?

I'm confident the entire "community" or what's left of it, would like to know.

Offering up excuses is getting old.

Regarding Moolah / MintPal Communications:
I would like to let everyone know I am currently in active communications regarding continuing the trading of Mintcoin within MintPal after the transition of ownership.

David Latapie is a French publisher, transhumanist and crypto enthusiast who worked on various cryptocurrencies, and focuses on the societal changes brought by cryptos and the blockchain technology. He lives in Paris and is the founder of the forthcoming Mintcoin Fund.

We have an official announcement coming out this weekend regarding the new development team. Anyone actively working on Mintcoin development needs please make sure to send me your short bio and Mintcoin address to be included.

Also if you are not currently a member of https://trello.com/b/3z77PPdg/mintcoin-team and would like to donate some time to development / graphics / copy / research please pm me your email address so I may add you.

Thanks everyone!

I've updated computers to the new Mint Xfce. It really is a class act operating system. Maybe one of the reasons I've always liked Mintcoin; another class act.

I was wondering if it could affect Mintcoin (being one of the "removed coin"). Well, even though we are on the first page, we are pretty low on it. It would be good to coordinate a campaign toward Moolah to not be removed, stressing out that we are relaunching, the dev premine thing being over. Being delisted now would be very detrimental, just when we are going back.

Of course, maybe Moolah doesn't intend to delist us. But it is better to ask before they announce they will, it will prove we are proactive.

Among other news, I donated 50000 MINT to Linux Mint. It was the distro that shipped with the machine I am typing the post. It is a great open source project and I might even be the first to donate

Did you all know this?

Moolah.io blog:

We’re taking over MintPal, here’s what you need to know.

Indeed. This needs to come later. Right now we need to focus on finishing up the business plan, revamping our messaging, launching the android wallet and the new desktop wallet launch.

The online wallet was discussed more here: http://mintcoin.pw/showthread.php?tid=24

It still requires more planning before development can begin. There are a lot of technical things to consider.

Did you read the discussion several pages back?? The 20% is an annual figure, that's Mintcoin 101 for the first year, I mean that's how the pie is sliced.

 

also your calculations are off because you do not receive 20% return after 20 days, that is the yearly return for the first year only.

Try to think of something besides a feature to give the user's money away. 

Hey mintcoin people.. Just to bring the agenda current, I remember that I had pledged 1 Million mint for the Windows Phone wallet (not necessarily minting) and 1 Million for the online Mintcoin bank, whereby people on the web can have a 'hot wallet' for their mintcoins. There was some disparity because some community members wanted an online wallet that stores their interest, analogous to a 'term deposit', this was my preference. Other voices have put forward that the 'Mintcoin Fund' be the beneficiary of the interest. I propose at 50/50 or 25/75 split between the two. For example, I buy twenty thousand mintcoins in the bank, and after 20 days, I have 15% interest whereas the fund gets a 5% slice of the deposit amount. If I want more than that, I can get the android or web wallet (which could work on iphone as well) and mint it while I charge the phone or something. I'll update this on the fb page as well and add that to a record of the Android wallet pledges and such.

Haven't follow the thread much. Is there already working android wallet? Know someone was working on that.

thank u for ur hard work

Agreed, although the ability to transact AND mint all on a mobile device is essential. Newsletters about this and that etc are useless without this functionality.

It's the whole point. There's nothing to market without it. If it's in development at least you can market that.
