Mintcoin looks to be getting bagged on a bit here:

Would appreciate help moving in to defend MINT. Mintcoin has a lot of potential and the development team is really moving forward getting a whole revival mission going. Hopefully, if done right and marketed well, it could really take off. I will see what resources I can gather because once the marketing launches, I want to do my part as well and really get the word out. The dev team will be pushing out their marketing efforts and getting others involved. I will also be running something concurrently to magnify the effects. Really, if you haven't picked up a lot of Mintcoin, now would be the time to do it. Because once the marketing starts, the prices will start shooting up to high levels and it will be harder and harder to buy in by the day.

All it takes is one whale willing to jump in and the price will make acquiring Mintcoin difficult. I don't want to talk up Mintcoin too much because I want the prices to remain low for me to get more. But, this is the truth of the matter and the development team will be focussing on marketing and advertising. If done right, it could have a major and profound effect. Marketing can be very powerful and it can really move markets in a big way and fast. One tweet tripled the price of Mintcoin a few weeks ago, just one tweet. Twitter will be a part of my marketing campaign.

Web site do a good job of it

They are working on multiple fronts. One is along these lines...


The Mintcoin devs are working on big things behind the scenes.... A lot of it has to do with setting the foundation for acquiring MAJOR merchant adoption. Mintcoin is the perfect coin for micro-payments and online payments because all transactions are complete within 2 minutes. Eventually, (hopefully not too much longer) once all of the groundwork for mainstream acceptance is ready and released, Mintcoin will be the coin to own.

I believe there was a similar (if not the same) unlock wallet bug issue with the Peercoin wallet for the longest time last year. They finally implemented a fix for it around client version 1.4 I believe. Maybe check out the Peercoin wallet to see what they did to fix it.

Eliminating a problem at an early stage of adoption is important. Nothing worse for a newbie than being discouraged before they even effectively get started.

Your contribution will have more of an impact on adoption than rumors of "big news" posts.

Thanks.

Great, thanks for the work! I can imagine new users clicking the wallet executable many times because nothing would show up.
Now we just need unlock wallet bug solved and get the improved wallet on the official mintcoin channels!

I have already implemented a fix for the load time of the client. It takes my windows machine from a 7 minute load time to under one minute. I will push it over to the official repo in a bit.

Can anyone, maybe from someone from the community?, compile a new wallet with the following solved and replace the old one in the 1st post and on mintcoin.cc ?:

- unlock wallet bug
- Slow startup time, atm the time between clicking the executable and the GUI appearing takes average 8 minutes (windows 8. )

I believe fixing the above is crucial for new mintcoin users to have a good first impression and keep using mintcoin. We'll talk about the blockchain 30+ hours syncing another time  

If anyone is already working on the wallet, when can we expect a new one released?

Thanks.

Over 2000 followers on Twitter! Thank you all for your support! If you don't already, follow us! https://twitter.com/MintcoinTeam

It was the dev who said it, but I don't know what he meant or if that will be the big announcement. Also, not sure if his idea of unlimited advertising would be the same as mine. I think people should temper their expectations of the "big news." It may just be news.

I dont think it was trolling since it was the dev who said it (correct me if im wrong..)

Last week i remember some one talking about unlimited advertising for mint was this for real or just someone trolling and if it is real when will this be implemented?

The news will probably be out soon or whenever the team is ready. From what I have been hearing on reddit, it's gonna be big. The price already moved up another satoshi. Moved up about 33% the past few days despite the other major altcoins dropping in price. I kinda feel something big happening. It could mean big things for Mintcoin.

This is also nice:

OK, so what's the news?

Even better 

Lots of it belong to exchanges cold wallets

Which means? Not sure what the point you're trying to make is...

Well, to be fair, 95 of those "top 265 wallets" don't even contain 1BTC worth of MINT..

your faucet now works again!
