Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 272. (Read 1369778 times)

No, forking to make this coin to behave differently is a very bad idea. Mintcoin stats are fine and theres absolutely no need to change them. Problem with Mintcoin is its non-existing development from the premine holding dev. This is because hes not a programmer and he is not willing to spend much in order to hire a programmer who could make significant changes.
There is no one who would be willing to work for free. Even the unlock wallet bug is not fixed for over the month now.
All good programmers in this forum have their own coin or are hired to existing coin projects.

There are talk of the takeover, but this can only happen if dev is willing to give the premine to the new team. This is extremely unlikely to happen in my opinion.

Not sure why every new dev is so open to forking coins by changing params. They were set for a reason and changing them would undermine what the whole projer stands for. No serious investor will ever
buy into a coin with such a amateur development stream.

I see maxcoin went down that road and we see how that ended up.

I like all of these ideas.

Personally I am not interested in getting an online wallet going. It would be too much maintenance, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for running a server that does everyone's hashing for them.  Is it possible? Yes it is.  But I am probably the wrong guy for that job.

From what I have seen from my exploration of MINT so far is that some fairly quick changes can be made. Modifying the code to provide a quick launch of the application, modifying the code to reduce the computing resources that staking uses, and adding Qt5+ support are the first obvious things I see.

Fork wise there could be a few things as well, but that would require a community consensus. What I would have in mind is maybe altering block target to be 60 seconds instead of 30 seconds. Slower growth of blockchain size, higher network stake weight (more secure), and a bit slower compounding of the money supply (although same personal reward).  That could be one option that the mintcoin community might want to discuss.

glad to see you maybe interested. the inflation is the way it supposed to be.

what do you think? is a secure online wallet possible for this coin? with the possibility to mint? Online PoS wallet? This would really bring the coin forward!

I can personally vouch for Presstab as a reliable dev. Thank you for your proposal I should refrain from commenting further and let others react.

At the moment I am a freelance developer with experience coding for peercoin clones. I would be interested in helping revive the community and wallet here, but what exactly is everyone hoping to have done?  From an outsiders perspective it looks like a hard fork might be needed to slow inflation... but not sure what the actual stake holders think. What other work would need to be done to the wallet?

If I were to help with a few wallet related things, I would have to have absolute integrity from mintcoin. I just exited a coin because of shady operations in the background that I was not comfortable with and did not want my name attached to. I would hope that mintcoin has a high level of integrity.

wow amazing post, David!

Come on, Mr. Developer! Give us a proper statement! Deleting stuff coz u'r scared ain't that grown up is it?!

Transparency is key for success! if you want your coins (premine or whatever) to become more valuable you need to tell us the truth. 10 Minutes to write a statement are possible even if you're busy. Otherwise no one will invest more money in this coin and just move on to other coins with an active development team.

i say if there are no information on premine till end of june I drop my mints. I suggest other people do the same. Ain't no FUD. Just that i'm sick of this.

No mintcointeam. No.

Being busy is not an excuse. You apparently have enough time to resort to these tactics. You could have just let it go if you are so "busy". You know perfectly well that deleting posts will only generate more comments. As for "wrong information", you could have just replied to them, like a responsable person (or group of persons) does. On monero, this is what we do: short, precise answers. Does not take much time and people can just extrapolate on that. And guess what? They like it, it shows that we focus on what really matters.

I don't buy the "extremely busy". You "extremely don't give a fuck" and being busy is an excuse. Several times I asked about the premine. Only after around 5 repeated questions I got an (very incomplete) answer and only because I threatened to reveal some things about you.
(by the way, readers, do you want me to tell the truth about the premine? - no, it is not what you think, whatever you may think )

Mintcoin Fund is on its way (I was supposed to send the corrected documents today but the post office is closed today, because of Pentecost - bummer). But I won't fund it without a reliable development team. I use "development team" on purpose. I'm sick and tired of the "anonymity" and "being busy" excuses. I work daily and in a much more intensive way with people who are are dead serious on anonymity (and impressively good at it) and they don't let it be an excuse for doing nothing. And they are very busy too and still they do an awesome amount of work.
If the Mintcoin Fund is not funded, I will send you back the 5 millions MINT you sent me for this. Because I did not use a single one of them yet (I should pay back myself for the register letter and the stamps, though). Because I am transparent and people know it - what are the addresses of the premine? . I don't hide behind "I am busy". If I say something, I deliver. If I cannot anymore, see rule #5 of FOSS (below)

I've been among your greatest supporters. Several times these months, I did not say everything I knew because I thought it would be detrimental to the coin.
Now I think YOU are detrimental to the coin. Look at karmacoin, grumpycoin, asiacoin, saturncoin, bottlecaps... A coin with a great community can make it.

Let me remind you rule #5 of open source software: "When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor."

There is nothing shameful about not having time to work on a coin. But there IS something shameful about refusing to let it go and take a whole community as a hostage. Especially with the tactics you are using.

I'll tell you something: I met someone using these kinds of tactics before. He was my former boss.
I quit and I funded a company doing the exact same thing as him but in a fair way. Guess what: most of the teammates left with me and we attracted more and more people who could just not stand these tactics anymore. Granted, it took time and we endured pain, but now we are signing international contracts and extending every year. We are a real team, helping each other, communicating a lot on a daily basis and this, for years. Him? Well he keeps deleting posts on his forum.

I am calling everyone who want Mintcoin to be something to act now. Stop being sheeps, waiting for something to happen, waiting for "the dev" to do something. Are you children or are you grown-ups? Do you need someone to change your diapers? Send Mintcoins to the Sonoma project, contact your dev friends about the wallet, propose crowdfunding, communication. Lend some legal expertise on NGO... Stop whining or looking at the chart. Look at Freicoin, do they complain do they look daily at the price?

Success is not given, it is deserved. And you, dev, legitimacy is not given, it is deserved.

But I don't expect you to answer. You are probably "extremely busy".

I did, and I demodded two of the moderators that helped this to come back! I know it's not that democratic but I'm extremely busy at the moment and couldn't handle the flow of comments it will generate/actions that could ensue from that. I apologize for that, but what the hell would you expect when you post something like this? Also, I'm not busy for nothing, indirectly, it will benefit to MintCoin...
Moreover, she posted wrong information (resulting from a misunderstanding of what I wrote, but still) and a private conversation.
Anyway, this is working against us. I'm totally grateful towards Cryptomommy for all the work she accomplished so far, but we spent more time than anyone else on this coin. We are more legitimate than anyone else to decide what we're doing with it.

Edit: and please David, remove this link, because it's just adding to the drama.

I noticed that http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/27gxu5/mintcoin_coup_d%A9tat/ have been deleted. I don't know who did this, but I know it is not cryptomommy. So someone is abusing moderator role. I find it unexcusable, whoever this person is. This remind us why it matters so much that the Mintcoin thread is not self-moderated.

Independantly on my own opinion on the Coup d'État, it, I value freedom of speech enough to be upset by this. So, if anyone has a copy of it, please PM and I will paste it here.

And the rewards justify the work, plus to some it's fun and you rarely get anything in life without some work first. Not to mention it helps keep the coin alive by trading it and buying from those no longer wanting the coin to be dumping at such cheap prices.

that takes alot more work. You have to monitor the market and make the right moves

That involves more risk. Just doing Minting is risk-free.

Why try make 1% in 20 days when you can ride the waves these idiots create and make 50% in 10 days ?

Becouse 90% of people are intrested in constant rise and sell of on pump/hype.
Today we have one new coin every day one big pump every week today winner is VRC
week ago was XC before was BC.
To hold coin i need see some progress like BC PR firm , adroid wallet, coinkite, decentralized exchange.
I sold my few m Mint because of stagnation general and no progress ( and Mint had 700m to develop great things )
Add to all new PnD coins comes every day and what is worse their volume is 500x higher than Mint.

If we don't look and spec so much even on premine we can ask question
Why Mintcoin is better than:
Cinni VeriCoin XC XBL BoostCoin YC WC AC
... and much More POS type coins ?


Or look eg Silkcoin on coin market head to head with Mint now ( POS from BC and new wallet from NXT ) why Mint is better than SC ?
I hope you have some answer to that why people don't hold Mint.
It was hard for me to sell it with 60% but i was pissed of.
And i would not sell anything if i know that coin is living and developing all time.

Do you know what is coinmarketcap ?
This value can give you vision how far coin can be pumped.

General target for pump or rocket is about 2-3m with good pump.
Udber pump can pump up to 10-20m market cap...
So Mint can jump up to 4x just because some pump grup decided pump Mint with good pump
or 13x with uber pump that need some great news like uber feature
super stealth anon...
With 3000 sat Mint should be like LTC .

PS: Mint can be pumped 4x at any time

They have to fix the wallet first otherwise new users will have a bad experience, BUT i've read mintcoin will be included in MultiCoin - a Multiple Crypto Coins Lightweight Wallet. MultiCoin will be a fast wallet without the need to download the full blockchain, exactly what I was complaining about a few days earlier.

So that's great news!
