Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 282. (Read 1369806 times)

I bought half a million today , that should speak for itself 

what are the predictions? is mint coming back? thinking about buyin a few

By your logic you contradict yourself. If bitcoin crashes altcoins rise since they trade vs btc.

When Bitcoin has a crash, the altcoins don't suffer the same fate. They tend to crash much harder. If you think about it, it's a way to make some money from it. You can buy in cheap with the existing BTC and get the altcoins. Wait for a recovery, then sell off the altcoins when their trade ratios go back up.

Very interesting discussion. I also think that the main role in the formation of prices of the coin plays its popularization. But the popularity of ZeroCoin (has not yet appeared) indicates that anonymous currency will have a very big success.

There was a misunderstanding, I explained in a MP.

Basically, I announced it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7073319 and I thought bamsterdam have read it.

So; yes, the five millions are safe in a Linux box + backup

If bitcoin has a crash , then all the altcoins will suffer the same fate.
None is mainly traded via usd , but vs btc so it will affect them all , and some of them even worse.

you also have a transaction id and can see for yourself if those coins made it there, or were sent elsewhere.
Unless you mean, that you wanted an android wallet, uhm,, instantly?

Im sure everything is OK and he will confirm your transaction if you provided transaction ID. I guess hes just a busy man and cant check the forum so often.

I donated 5m mint to the adroit wallet. I have send some pm s with David and he have send me the wallet adres that is used for donations for the androit wallet. where now two days further but haven't heard anything yet from him?

I think that the keepod is a great idea, but this is definitely one that the devs need to step in on, and the mintcoin fund is something that lends credibility to Mint for doing something like this.

I agree with you that anon is not the way to go with mint - I think that it's better to focus on getting retailers in involved, and on the charitable/eco aspects of the coin. Associating mint with anonymous transactions and darksend etc would not help with that

Yes, from what I have read about it, you have to download and sync the entire blockchain before you are able to use the wallet. There was a few other discouraging things I read about it as well.

If you really think about all this anonymity issue with all the current altcoins, it's only ever going to be anonymous if you never ever exchange your altcoins into fiat. The way it is now, if I want to buy something from any of the retail locations using an altcoin, or a BTC for that matter, it is pretty much as anonymous as it's going to get, other than the ship to address you're going to have to supply to get your purchase.

If there was total anonymity regarding trading/buying of altcoins or BTC, when it came time to exchange it for Fiat, your anonymity will be lost, as there is no exchanges that will exchange altcoins or BTC for Fiat, without you providing verification of your identity.

These current altcoins and all the hype about anonymity is just that...hype...trying to garner the BTC from people who do not understand the facts behind altcoins and BTC.

If we as Mintcoin holders, or even any altcoin holder truly want any of these coins to succeed as a true and viable currency, then we have to get them accepted by much more than just a few online retailers.

Have a look at http://keepod.org/ this is a very interesting concept, and they have already crowdfunded over 1.5 Million dollars to create these USB drives that are going to be given out all over Africa. It is an Android based device and will most likely be VERY BIG. There is already talk of a Bitcoin wallet being included with each one, as well as a small amount of BTC included as well. Think of the exposure as well as the real life use, Mintcoin would get if it also had an Android wallet included with each of these USB devices, and also some Mintcoins.

If the developer were to contact Keepod.org and say he would contribute 100 to 200 MILLION of the premine to this, then there would be a real good increase in real world usage of Mintcoin, as the people in Africa that were given the USB device with a Mintcoin Android wallet loaded up with a fair amount of coins, would most definitely begin to use them as a true and viable currency amongst themselves, and this would get real world attention.

As far as I know, blackcoin android wallet runs c++ blackcoin client (maybe a stripped one) in native mode, and put a android UI on top of it. It should require much more resources to run. I'm not sure if it'll be stable enough (it may, it may not), but I'm almost sure no other coin can easily fork it / change it.

For fluttercoin, I don't have any idea, but they're not only POS, but also POT. I don't know if they're bitcoinj based.

As some have said it on VTC thread, this is more a question of privacy than anonymity : some people may prefer that their whole transactions won't be opened to everyone ... this is understandable...

Why would a big investor buy into it? Theres 700 million unaccounted for? I doubt any smart money will be entering it for a while.. remember you asked when will it hit 1000 sats? Think 5 years or more after bitcoin has a big crash if ever.

If the dev can figure out a way to get some buy buyers or some deep pocketed institutional investors to go in on Mint, there could be a huge ramp up in price. I wonder when the big news will be released. BTC's going into Mint means big price rises.

It will take 52 measly BTC's from a big investors to get us back to 20 satoshis, or 1 BTC from 52 investors pushing this coin up to 20 satoshis.

Mint4Life indeed!  

This is a good idea....

Ah I was told it was pos with this version on reddit but I'm still syncing the blockchain so can't see for myself.
