OK I realise I've asked this before but I'm still surprised that i'm not getting anywhere.
I have 101288 mint, 97k were deposited in this wallet on 10/3/14. I then got a minting on 7/4/14, a donation by some kind fellow here on 27/4/14 and minting on 28/4/14, but nothing else. Shouldn't I get some more minting transactions? Or does it really mean I have to wait 20 days between each possibly minting. I realise I don't have much of the coin in the first place. But surely a few mintings should take place shouldn't they?
All my coins is the in the balance section of the wallet. There is nothing in the stake line. Is that right? I have the v1.9.1 wallet.
the little green icon in the lower right corner of the wallet says my weighting is 293 vs network 80212182 and estimated time to receive reward is 95 days
Is it right that I only get a minting every 20 days.. am I just unlucky because I have a low balance and so won't get hardly any minting?
If its going to be so long inbetween mintings I'm not going to get anywhere and may as well give up and sell... or is something wrong?

Everyone please read this reddit post about Mintcoin's premine transparency: http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/256n8r/premine_transparency/
I think we need to implement the said changes.
I think we need to implement the said changes.
This could help a lot. Adding transparency will bring in more investors and this could really be a huge upside for Mintcoin. Mintcoin is a fantastic coin with more and more merchants added and further infrastructure built.

The shitcoins keep going belly up and Mintcoin gets stronger and stronger.
It's beautiful.

One of the best things we can do to support a currency we believe in is to get people from outside the cryptocurrency community supporting our coin. Women account for $20 trillion in consumer spending (85% of retail spending) annually, yet only represent 5% of people involved in cryptos. They have to be on board in order for any coin to make the step to viable currency. At Crypto Moms, our goal is help women to get involved in digital currencies and appreciate the Mintcoin community members that have posted on the forum.
If you need a gift for a woman or girl in your life, why not give her a wallet full of Mintcoin. She may not know what to do with it right now, but she will appreciate it when the market matures. At today's price, you can buy 100,000 Mintcoin for $5 - trust me, if you give a woman 100,000 anything, you will have her attention!!

Relax, enjoy your interest and wait.
Price of Mintcoin is nice and stable. It will definately go up in future, but dont expect rapid spikes anymore.

We get loads of interest for the first year anyway, so all we have to do is open our wallets once every 20 days and watch the mints roll in. I'm sure they will be worth loads when bitcoin rockets up in price again.

The reality is that most people buy high and sell low. Most people chase returns, and that is why Most people have NOT been buying Mintcoin. Keep in mind that Most people are also NOT very wealthy, or smart financially.
The only thing that can change the price of a stock, commodity, index or Mintcoin for that matter, is a change in the supply/demand relationship. Therefore, we must measure the change in money flow. However, the most reliable indicator of risk - although not as precise as money flow- is sentiment. It won't give you the exact day, week or even month of an important market turn; however, it does give you a great indication when the market is getting very vulnerable near top, and a bargain near a bottom.
At market tops, there is almost unanimous bullish sentiment. The biggest investors, money managers, the analysts most featured in the media, and the public are all bullish and declare that the bull market will continue for a long time. Caution is thrown to the wind. Investors abandon the practice of keeping a cash cushion in their portfolios. They are fully invested.
I suggest to you that this is exactly what happened with Mintcoin on or around February 24th.
At market lows, there is almost unanimous bearish sentiment. The biggest investors, money managers, the analysts most featured in the media, and the public are all bearish and declare that the the bear market will continue for a long time. Caution is heavily embraced. Investors resort to the practice of keeping a large cash cushion in their portfolios. They are scarcely invested.
I hope that this information helps you decide where Mintcoin is at today, and invest more wisely for the future.

Inquisitiveness has overtaken me here, and I can't let it go anymore. My curiosity stems from the consistent interjections of how we don't seem to be doing enough to get this coin to "take off", or what makes "us" think that this coin is going to be worth something above 12 sats, and, we "seriously" need to do something to breathe some life into this coin.
I honestly don't know what's driving these "thoughts", but the leading indicator, in my opinion, that Mint is something special and different, that it is destined to rise above other alts, is the fact that in the three months that is has been in existence, it hasn't gone into single digits. (At least I don't think it has - someone correct me if I'm wrong.) If it were going to die, it wouldn't have taken this long, and it would have fallen lower than it has by now. It hasn't been the victim of any pump & dumps, it has held it's ground despite active attempts to kill it, and, outside of a very few other alts, it has the strongest, most helpful, good-willed, genuinely nice community I have witnessed in the very short time I have been involved in cryptos.
I'm not a financial genius or anything, but I'm no gambler. I'm frugal, and I don't waste anything - especially money. I can always use any money I came across, and will even stop to pick up those annoyingly "useless" pennies you find laying everywhere these days. If I thought there was no future (read "profit") to be had from this coin, I would have cashed out long ago, added it to my btc balance, and been done with it. But quite the opposite, I have been cashing out of other alts, and converting them to Mint. Precisely because I honestly see this coin increasing in value. I don't expect to get filthy rich from it, but I DO expect that I will make a healthy profit, when all is said and done.
If one is "overly" concerned with where the price is right now, it seems that this must be because they are not happy with the pace of increasing the value of their portfolio, or they are looking for a much quicker profit return. That's great, but I think if that is where you are, so to speak, then this probably isn't the crypto for you.
Concerning the amount of time building the "base" - merchants, to be specific - any business that is going to be successful needs to have a broad foundation. The larger, and more stable the foundation, the better. You can't build a house on a pole. Looking to spike a price without a substantial investment in establishing this foundation is futile in the long run. And for those who think the foundation is large enough, I would say that it can never be large enough. The bigger the foundation, the taller and grander your building can be, with the assurance (more or less) that it will take quite a large storm to shake the structure.
I want to see the price rise as much as the next person, but, as long as it isn't falling, I am happy with where it is right now. I don't think that any of the merchants are meaningless, because in the long run, they will introduce a few more people to Mint, and this can only be a good thing. I also think that this is one of the most sure ways to build Mint into a large and stable exchange medium. Spread it's base as far and wide as possible, and eventually it will organically begin to rise on it's own. If you get 10,000 people using Mint, you will get, well, not much of anything. Get 10,000,000 people using it, and you will have a situation that almost HAS TO become something huge, because it's quick, because it's easy... because it's green (environmentally), and therefore, "smart".
Anywho - I guess all I wanted to say really, is that Mint IS going places. It's going to take a while, but I'm good with that. I'd like to "Get Rich Quick!" too, but outside of winning the Powerball Lottery, that's probably not happening. And actually, since I don't waste my money, I don't play the lottery... so it's not going to happen anyway. (No disrespect to those who choose to play the lotteries.
)
...Oh - and with the Mintcoin Fund - a worldwide, environmentally oriented organization using cryptocurrency as it's main form of exchange, I don't see how it couldn't succeed. Really. Unless the ball is dropped completely. And I really don't see us letting that happen. It's too good of an idea. And it's an idea that all of us believe in, or this community wouldn't be nearly as strong as it is.
I'm just rambling out loud now - so I'll stop.

Very well said mate. I have been holding since 18k+ bought a few months ago and I can't bring myself to sell it as I agree with everything you've said above. I've read that some people have predicted that only around 5 coins will survive at the end of this year and I see Mintcoin being one of those. It is a solid coin and I think people will eventually realise.

What's your plan so the android wallet won't require the whole blockchain?
May 09, 2014, 11:52:39 AM
The point isn't whether or not other coins are doing it in their threads (hey Mom, the other kids are jumping off the bridge can I join them?)
We are up to what 750 pages now? And a good chunk of it is just garbage. I for one would like to see a reduction in the useless spammy posts.
