No they are not expecting a bribe, up to 75% of the money raised will go the the development of implementing Mint into their platform as well as their Debit Card system. The other 25% goes to a charity. This would be the biggest thing for Mintcoin to date.

still no minting after more than 1 month
i have followed the instructions of how to mint, but nothing
i have the latest wallet

They are being used by businesses all over the world for BTC right now. Mintcoin could have it's own Debit Card with this happening. Convincing large name brand retailers to accept Mintcoin would be so easy if they knew it came with a Debit Card reader and software to administer everything....THIS IS HUGE....

Wait how does this work - do they expect a bribe in order to list an altcoin or am I misunderstanding what everyone means when they keep saying we should all send mint for this...?

We as community can show support donating some to get in coinkite.

Im giving my part.

At the current MINT price, we are talking for ~180M MINT, in order to reach the 25BTC goal till May 1st.

It would be good for the MINT community to support this, but I would say that, since this one sounds important (I do not have personal experience, I do not know them, I do not live in US), it could also be a very good use of a part of the premine.

This is GREAT just sent in my contribution to this.....we need everyone to send even a small amount of Mint just to show our dedicated support for Mintcoin.

If we can get Mintcoin onto CoinKite, it will be so much easier to get large name brand retailers to start accepting Mint for purchases. Please take a minute and send them some love....and Mintcoins.

Thanks for the more in-depth explanation. So does each public key/address have it's own private key? Ie, if you are using multiple addresses to receive funds from different places and track where it's coming from, would each address correspond to a different private key, albeit all in the same wallet?

Oh, alright.

Speaking cryptography terms, is the key-set asymmetric:

The private key (secret key) is for crypto currency typical a 51 characters in base58.
The public key (share key) can be calculated from a private key, the public key is typical 34 characters in base 58.
 
Most users never see the private key, unless they make paper-wallets (but you can just unlock your wallet and type dumpprivkey then will you see it.
When creating a paper wallet are you basically printing out the private key on a physical medium, like a piece of paper ect.

The public key is what we use when we send MINT's to each-other.
If I want to send X MINT to you then will I type in YOUR public key into mint-qt and how much I want to send to you.
Lets call my public key A and yours B:
Mint-qt creates a transaction "I want to send X funds from public key A to public key B", qt sign the transaction with MY private key (creating a unique signature which shows that I own public key A). The transactions is then broadcasted to the nodes on the P2P network.

The passhrase is a password to unlock your wallet.dat which is (hopefully) encrypted, and has really nothing to do with the private key.
The mint-qt needs to access the wallet.dat in order to access the private key in order to sign the transaction.

I think for the sake of this example it would be useful to define exactly what you mean by public and private keys. Private key = the passphrase you use to lock/unlock the wallet, correct? Public key = ?

Conkite is considering adding MintCoin to their supported coin list Show them support!

Each private key has one corresponding public key, they form a pair.
The other way around: each public key has one unique corresponding private key.

All coins are held in the wallet and you can use one private key to dump them all. The reason why you can create different addresses is so you can have different one for receiving coins from different sources and to keep track of who is sending you what since you can have each source send to each different address but they are all stored into that wallet. Each time you create a new address you will need to backup your wallet to save those new addresses.

That's an interesting question. I don't have much experience messing around with a bunch of different receiving addresses but I always assumed they were essentially functioning as pointers to a wallet and that the wallet, rather than the address/es, was tied to a single private key.

I'm not having any issues, but I am curious - If you have, let's say, 20 separate receiving addresses, would you have to dump all 20 priv. keys, and then import them all individually to a fresh wallet, or is their a "Master" that would take care of everything?

The problem the fellow have is that mint-qt will not start, if it could start this is your suggestion good.
Here is the procedure to recover the private key:


To dump your private key to the following:
unlock the wallet
click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right)
click on 'debug window'
select the 'console' tab
execute this command:
dumpprivkey

The program will respond with your private key.
Save this in a text file (don't give it to anyone and don't post it here!)

Close down the client.
Delete wallet.dat (make sure to have a backup)
Open mint-qt.
Sync
Once it is ready, go back to the console and write:
importprivkey

Hello,
According to the message, it managed recover all private keys from your wallet.dat file. Private keys are required to claim your received coins (in the past and in the future for your existing addresses) so this is good. You shouldn't have lost any funds.

"Transactions may be incorrect" : Downloaded blockchain and your wallet's information based on that downloaded blockchain are two different entities. This message refers to the transactions your wallet.dat file knows about. After your download is complete, open debug window and run "checkwallet". It will try to find mismatches between the actual transactions in the blockchain, and the transactions your wallet knows about. If it finds anything, you can run "repairwallet" from there.


"Address book may be incorrect" : I hope this refers to the send addresses shown in Address Book tab. Verify that your saved send addresses are correct, or better delete every one of them. If any of them is wrong and you try to send your coins to that address, coins would be lost. Worst case might be this message also refers to "Receive coins" tab, but I doubt so -- they should be covered by private keys. If you're in doubt, you can try sending small amounts (like 1 mint) to each of those addresses from another wallet, to see if you can receive them.


Always remember: backup backup backup. Don't run anything until you backup your broken wallet.dat file. It is possible to break it further to a state where you can't recover your private keys.


If the message keeps appearing, or if you don't trust it and you want to start fresh, from the debug window you can export your private keys, and then you can import them to another fresh wallet. And then throw away the old wallet.dat file. I don't remember the exact commands, but I did it once. If you need this, let us know, someone would help.

good idea
i will try my best!

Thanks! We will publish a carousel with pictures.
