Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 285. (Read 1369806 times)

I believe the best way is to do use the same process as for the Android wallet: someone (Beaverslayer or someone else) organise it and I act as the 0% escrow.

Regarding the Mintcoin Fund, I will post the amended paper they requested tomorrow

Regarding the Android Wallet, the dev already donated with the premine. Plus, basmterdam just donated 5 millions today.

Donations, Android Wallet

Regarding Mintcoin being, I can name at least two high-PoS coins supposedly dead and which are making a comeback (right now) after several months (a quite a good one, by the way).

Finally, good enough anonymity is impossible with any Bitcoin forks (including Mintcoin except by very kludgy hacks or a relauch (à la CAI/CAIx) - no, DRK is not anonymous enough, it is actually very easy for any intelligence agency to get information - maybe even more than with plain bitcoin.

Oh, one more thing: is there any technical difference between USD and EUR? No. This is what they are used for which matters. Always remember that.

A concise, honest, truthful take on the current state of affairs.

I especially agree with your statement about the NGO. Unless it's some revolutionary plan or feature, nobody will care. It has so far had 0 impact - and yes, I mean on the price. That's the only barometer that is a measure of the coins performance.

Here's hoping we're at the bottom and the developer has some good news, REAL news.

True, you can have one of the greatest features but if there is no marketing it won't do much good.

Whatever the big announcement will be, it has to be promoted trough a massive campaign which takes money and planning. When it's announced buying ads on all crypto forums and news sites is a good way to give the coin a big boost. Only talking in this thread will not bring a lot of new mintcoin users. Another option is Google ads and target keywords like crypto and bitcoin. Promote it as an energy saving bitcoin alternative.

Tl;dr: If you're releasing a new feature promote it.

Yes the android wallet is important and it should be here soon.

If you weren't following things, Coinkite added Blackcoin and then started asking other altcoins if they wanted to give them 17 BTC each to be added as well. Few merchants are on board with it and it is like an attempt to funnel cryptos through a paypal type system. It's certainly not needed at all. What would be more useful would be vouchers that give you credit at Amazon or similar online retailers.

The online wallet idea is a good one as a safe online wallet would be a good promotion and encourage new people to get onboard. You could certainly call it a 'bank', all it would have to do is store mintcoin and pay interest.

I don't think anonymity matters at all at this stage, it might matter to people that buy Darkcoin but it will likely be something that can be easily added to any crypto later on.

Other than that, the price has suffered and it is time for the developers to announce some definite plans, remembering that this android wallet is a community effort rather than coming from their labour. The NGO thing might be significant but unless you think you can engage the press with your initiatives it is pretty easy to ignore.  

Coinkite is a scam pay to play. Cionkite has Fewer merchants than Mintcoin has without a processor. Any merchant would be a fool to purchase coinkite, when Bitpay does over $1 million a day in Bitcoin. Coinkite- Not needed.

How anonymous does a coin need to be? What kind of criminal activity is everyone planning? Anonymity is a flash in the pan hype bubble, and not right for the mainstream. Anonymity-not needed.

Online wallet? Maybe, I don't trust my coin to anyone but me.

What Mintcoin needs is for people to embrace the features it already has and stop being so negative. The last few pages have a bunch of people declaring what Mintcoin needs as if they are cryptoworld dictators. What's worse is that all the ideas are taken from flavor of the week coins that have yet to really show why they are needed.

Let's not forget that Mintcoin fillls a void. It is an energy saving coin that mines itself, thereby lessening the amount of power scarfing miners in the world.

And please don't forget, Mintcoin has only been a currency for 4 months. Also, I think the developer should consider closing this thread and let discussions continue on other sites such as Reddit. Most of these shit posts would have been buried by downvotes.

i think it is a great analysis with following features needed for mintcoin:

android wallet
payment processor (coinkite)
online wallet
anonymity

all these features can be developed. no need to be the first. but we need to see some statements from anyone (devs?) that those features are planned or being developed except for the android wallet. if not it will be difficult. but still it can be done and the price will rise accordingly.

All valid points, I never liked the desperate, more cheap coins for me or buy now while their cheap lines. Only thing right now which gives me a little hope is that the dev team is planning something big when the mintcoin NGO is registered. But coin devs make all sorts of promises and statements I really hope for mintcoin that this one is true.

Anyone know if this address Mmqt6EVDcKegcgsDp39jUhwdkNpfHP7qLris from an exchange, mintpal perhaps? What's with the 10000000 in en out that looks weird to me 

There is short term vision and long term vision.
Anyone can move on to the next coin untill they get tired of pumping the last released altcoin.
I Will keep my mint for a couple more years. This coin is  only dead for those with short term vision!

You've sold out because you don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, now you think everyone else should do the same, OK, we get it 

keep wasting your money lol see where that gets ya! I'm sorry but that guy above your post hit the nail on the head mint is going to need some major improvements in order for this trend to stop. Call me a know it all or any other names you choose but you can quote me on this I sure won't be spending any money on mint.

You guys have been doing nothing other than trying to talk to the price up which if you haven't noticed it hasn't been working. One guy in particular Crindon I think that's his name usually stops by here saying mint will be 1000 sat soon it has intrinsic value yadda yadda ya and well doesn't look like that's gonna be happening anytime soon lol or anytime for that matter. Also don't be surprised if in the near future Mintpal starts delisting coins that have little to no volume. When that happens that will be the death of mint.

Butthurt (I think not, but whatever you say Mr. Knowitall) is buying 10 million more right now on mintpal. I support this coin.

honestly, the last how many pages are people just saying how great of an investment the coin is, with nothing to back it up. It's teetering at 3 sats, for crying out loud! You can say "more cheap coins for me" but without volume or outside interest, you'll just be one of a few people holding a lot of useless coins. I feel like that's just a kneejerk statement for people financially and maybe emotionally invested in something they don't want to see go away. I mean i'd say it's low risk to buy and hold a few at this point in the sense that it doesn't cost much to get a nice chunk, but at the same time, I don't see it moving without innovation and direction and community involvement. I skimmed MP and estimated over 125 bitcoins worth of Mint sitting on the exchange for sale, and not "Minting" with such a high interest rate. Why is that? Mint was the first alt I got into, but have lost confidence in the last month or so and it's hard to find reasons to gain it back.

Look at blackcoin - Android wallet, already live on Google Play. Coinkite tomorrow (know that one's a sensitive subject but at the very least a gamble that seems to have already made people take notice). Online wallet with anon and multi sig features coming soon. BC centric exchange in the works. PR firm. It has volume and interest and it definitely sees manipulation and whales but what coin doesn't? Then there's all the X11 X13 coins coming out (see Mastiff announcement tonight) and people are flocking - whether longterm or short, that is to be seen of course. I'm not saying p&d's are good if that is what is happening, but they do bring attention and money flowing in and out. It can keep you on people's radars to 'buy time' for devs and community members to grow the coin and keep people hooked.

That's right, keep pushing the price down. Please make it go even lower.  thx in advance for the cheap coins.   

someone is butt hurt....the bottom is near. just look at the exchanges no buy support all dumping!!!!!!!!

R.I.P. Mintcoin

R.I.P. MY ASS!!! You want out go sell 'em right now on mintpal. "Oh, that's right you don't have any coins at all because your just a troll.

This is an investment grade coin folks!!! Out of all the coins that have come along this year this one had the most going for it. It started the POW/POS revolution that BC and many other jumped on. I just bought a bunch more.
Anybody else wanna get out at 4 sats, I got a 10 million buy on mintpal.

R.I.P. mintcoin.

I hereby pledge that in the event I would win the lottery I'll buy everything upto 6 satoshi.

its back at 447k
I had 800k in 1.6, but I'm not sure if that was a correct amount
I believe I bought 350k~450k mintcoins back when it was at 14
