Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 333. (Read 1369778 times)

i've edited the giveaway post a bit. maybe someone will see it as an incentive for a small donation to your project. i think every mintcoin counts!

I will be looking for additional sponsors for the SC Redwood Reforestation project soon.  Headed to Austria on Thursday for 6 weeks, where I will be able to work from my laptop.  After that, I will be at the project site starting June 18th.  

I am working with the land owners/foresters to get some new pictures of the site, should have those today or tomorrow.

Thank you to those who have donated and volunteered already.

Cheers,
Patrick

Yeah reddit is where a lot of new users come from. 

BTCtalk is where old hats are, we need new blood like any crypto to keep the community vibe going. 

Dogecoin subreddit started booming when people kept xposting it into discussions about cryptos. 

Just updated, thanks!


Great idea, I upvoted and will post my address  for some free mint
I'll also run the same type of giveaway after yours is done, great idea!!

http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/2476rj/mintcoin_giveaway/ a small giveaway i've started. maybe that way we can attract new users.

there is a discussion going on on reddit about reviving the r/mintcoin site. who is the reddit mod? maybe at least the working faucets could be updated as a first step. http://mintcoin.cyanrainbow.com/faucet is the only faucet i know of working like a charm. we should add it to the reddit page

Great job, very much appreciated.
The icon showing the mint status is absolutely mandatory in PoS (imo).
Glad to see it implemented!

Strong buy support is pushing price up slowly on Mintpal.

Someone came out of nowhere and wants MINT cheap.

oh, (3) is me Ubuntu wallet will be available in a few hours

Good job on the new wallet.

could be someone buying/selling to themselves ...

Nice going with peer removal.

New wallet 1.9 for Windows!

What's new in 1.9?
(1) latest checkpoints
(2) misc pull requests such as better unlock icons/interfaces etc from skwurp
(3) remove misbehaving peers from keremhd (pull request)

Windows (1.9): https://mega.co.nz/#!MJYQiLaJ!1rfP3Q8lh_wSfFGvfy3QZUSjJmambFZOBtfElV-lfXA

First of all, if you're using anything below 1.6, it is highly possible that your wallet is following a wrong fork. So, your coins aren't there at all. For security, you should update to the latest version, at least 1.7+, but the latter the better (regarding blockchain checkpoints etc, each newer version has newer checkpoints compiled in them, and those make sure you are not following a forked chain)

On the base problem: blkindex.dat message means that downloaded blockchain files have problems. Maybe it was a wrong fork, maybe disk problems, I don't know. But it's just the blockchain data that is corrupt, not your wallet (keys, MINT, etc). You can just remove those files (everything except wallet.dat), open up new client, wait it to sync. Then open debug console and run "checkwallet" just in case. If it reports anything, you can backup your wallet.dat and run "repairwallet" from there.

Reason for checkwallet: If you're getting blkindex.dat messages, it's likely your wallet was following a wrong blockchain for some time. When it does, your wallet.dat would sync itself to the wrong blockchain, and either won't learn some of its received funds, or won't learn some of its spent funds, or may think that it created a stake (sent some coins and received some coins) when in fact its stake wasn't accepted in the main chain. "checkwallet" command walks through the whole downloaded blockchain, comparing it with what your wallet.dat thinks. If there is anything that doesn't match, it warns you so you can sync it by "repairwallet"

In case you did not read it yet (but you all did, right ^^)

Mintcoin Fund: Sonoma County Redwood Reforestation Project Unveiled – March 2015
Posted by:Patrick inArticles, NewsApril 27, 20140




Online communities are growing stronger and more productive thanks to cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin and Karmacoin are raising money for purposes of bringing people together. And now the Mintcoin Fund is sponsoring a massive project that will involve more than just fundraising.
The Sonoma County Redwood Reforestation Project:


This project will be hosted by Avant Gardens, a family run farm that participates in the California Forest Improvement Program. AG has an existing forest management plan (FMP) registered with state and federal officials. With an FMP, they are able to gain funding to participate in reforestation on these lands which were devastated by years of logging, man-made fire, and over-grazing by ranchers.

The goal will be to plant on approximately 15 – 20 acres for the first year.  The project is hoping to attract 10 volunteers from around the world for up to 4 weeks.
Volunteers Needed



Volunteers may bring their children and families are welcome to come.  Everyone will be expected to participate according to their abilities.  The project is expected to take up to 4 weeks with a crew of 10 people!  The work schedule will be 5 days a week at ~6 hours per day.  The rest of the time is yours to do what you want!


Avant Gardens is great for camping and has a commercial kitchen and community lodge. There will be no charge for volunteers to camp.  Lamb and goat are raised on a small pasture for milk and meat.  There are also large gardens for vegetables, a pear and apple orchard, and olive grove.  People that don’t want to participate in the forestry project can also assist with tending the gardens/animals.  When people are not working, there is beautiful hiking, relaxation, exploration: only 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean where you can walk on some of the most beautiful beaches on the west coast of the United States. Volunteers might find themselves enjoying some of the local wines produced by some of the finest vineyards in California, kayaking in the Russian River, enjoying some beer at the world-class breweries of Sonoma County, and doing plenty of other activities! Avant Gardens brews beer and cider from homegrown hops and apples and volunteers are welcome to participate in this process and enjoy some of the product! There is decent WiFi internet access at the lodge and if you have Verizon cell phone service you can get a very strong 4G LTE signal!


Avant Gardens is an official member of the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms program, and is probably one of the few in the world that does actual reforestation projects. Registered under Avant Gardens on http://www.wwoofusa.org/

Volunteers are needed to assist in the following tasks:

• Pruning existing shade trees and preparing the planting areas for reforestation
• Scalping (clearing any debris/grass) of the areas that will be planted
• Digging holes
• Planting (Plant 3,000+ Redwood Seedlings and 500+ Douglas Fir Seedlings, depending on funding)
• Staking trees
• Participating in meal preparations and having fun!

Volunteers will get to meet local the two local foresters that work on this land, plus foresters from other land nearby.



Any project granted federal and state funding means that government officials that are part of the USDA, Dept. of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, CALFIRE, and other agencies will verify our progress throughout the year.  As you can see from pictures of the hills, much of the land was deforested by logging industry and later sheep herding prevented any trees from growing back. There are no longer sheep herding and reforestation is heavily supported by the government in this area.

The Mintcoin Fund is seeking donations and volunteers for this project.  They have already received interest from U.S. Forest Service employees and the Sonoma Coast community.

The project is scheduled to begin in March 2015.  Anyone interested in travel preparations can look into flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Oakland International Airport (OAK), or Santa Rosa Airport (STS).

The project is seeking funding of roughly $4000, which is about 9 BTC or 75,000,000 Mintcoins!

Alright. The facts, just the facts.

Unek was approached by the Blackcoin community, who gave him "promotion and support" (his words) to change mintbay to blkroad. He didn't told us before it was done. He got several donations from BC users (amount undisclosed), none from MINT owners.
unek wishes his site to accept BC, MINT and DOGE and maybe others.

Voilà for the facts.

I upgraded from 1.4 to 1.8 and I also received same error. Still not resolved. But I still have wallet 1.4 and I have all my coins intact. It's just that I can't use the newer wallet 1.8

WOW! Someone just bought for 10btc @12sat
