Hi guys,

I'm having some major problem upgrading my wallet to the latest (v1.5 -> v18).  So I downloaded the latest wallet and launched it, and it gave me an error message: blkindex.dat cannot be loaded.

So then I went into '%appdata' and delete the file blkindex.dat. Now the wallet loads fine, but the old balance disappears!  I cannot see the old transaction details, and the balance is zero! (But the receiving addy is correct tho).

What happened to my wallet?  Cry Cry I'm getting really nervous now. Please help me, guys.  Thanks in advance!

so eventually if everyone updates it will stop? any way to force this to happen sooner rather than later?

I believe so, or if a large enough majority of people do? Like I said, it's not a problem it's just a little annoying to look at. Somebody had mentioned preventing previous versions (1.6 and prior) of the wallet from connecting to the network on the next wallet upgrade, thereby requiring people to upgrade (which people should have by now anyways, it was a mandatory upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7/1.8 ).

I repaired my wallet and it didn't do anything, it said wallet integrity true or something along those lines. My config file is the official one that came with the upgrade. It still keeps periodically saying ~8000 blocks remaining to sync, then after a while it will go away, then come back...Huh

I think that is due to other people still using the old wallet. Beaverslayer said something about this a while back. It doesn't affect your ability to mint or send/receive transactions, I can attest to that as my wallet does the same thing but I still mint/send/receive coins.

What's the good word on the android wallet?

Paspi posted this two days ago, waiting on further updates from paspi or beaverslayer. We should see if we can get an additional bounty for the Bloom filters, either from the dev or raise it ourselves as a community.

Android wallet update:

Hello everybody; I'm working on a Java MintCoin library and an Android wallet.

For best security and long term development, I forked from latest bitcoinj last week. Converted it to Scrypt. Made it able to communicate with my local Mintcoin wallet over network. I just updated it to understand and accept PoS/PoW hybrid blocks, and I can announce you that it can sync with the blockchain from genesis block up to #239870, which is generated just minutes ago Smiley

There are some missing features yet:

- It can validate PoW block difficulties (calculation is a little different in PoW/PoS hybrids than pure PoW coins, PoS blocks affect calculations, and modifying bitcoinj library for this task really had some challenges) ; but it doesn't try to validate PoS block difficulties yet (this is a security issue and will be fixed before releasing)

- It doesn't verify POW block rewards (due to the fact that I couldn't find a specific pseudorandom generator implementation that decides on randomized POW block rewards). I don't think this would be an issue as the main use case would be a Simple Payment Verification wallet, checkpoints will cover our security up to removal of PoW from MintCoin (though it will be nice to have the checks in place)

- Minting: It's now almost clear that minting would be possible even in SPV wallet mode. I will annonuce details later. I have to figure out validating PoS blocks first.

- UI: I'm just trying to get the pure library working properly now. Once the library is working, it'll be very easy to fork/make an Android App that uses it

- Bloom filters: Here is a request for the community: Current Mintcoin wallet doesn't support Bloom filters. Bloom filters allow SPV clients download only the transactions they're interested in (instead of all transactions in blocks), reducing mobile users' data usage dramatically. Please put a bounty on it so that someone can merge it from bitcoin client. Android wallet will work without Bloom Filter support in the main client, but its data usage would be much more.

When you upgraded to v1.8, try deleting everything in your roaming MintCoin folder except the wallet.dat file, of course, such that you download the entire blockchain. Also, if that does not work, try using the repairwallet or salvagewallet features in the debug window.

If you guys can think of any Canadian charities or non-profits, please email them and ask them to accept donations of Mintcoin.

We have a bargaining angle, they get free money and more of it and can cash out through Vault of Satoshi.

We also need to get cavirtex.com on board

Email [email protected] and ask them to trade Mintcoin. Do this to help out, we need more volume of emails. Once they see a lot of people are interested, they will want to get onboard. This will help Mintcoin immensely.

Come on community, we can count on you.

How's this for a letter?

Dear Admin,

Please consider adding Mintcoin to your exchange.

The recent rise involving proof of work to pure proof of stake coins is a clear indication that Mintcoin, the father of them all should be your first choice consideration.

In addition to being the first coin of its kind, Mintcoin also boasts the following:

-Widespread merchant adoption, 44 and counting

-Hard working developers who have added coin control to the wallet, and QR support for the upcoming Android app(in development)

-Interest paid to holders. A unique distribution method that awards early adopters without leaving those late to the party behind:

To be paid out annually at 20 day intervals

20% First year
15% Second year
10% Third year
5%  All subsequent years until 70 billion coin cap is reached

Thanks for your consideration,

Mintcoin Holders of the World

The introduction sounds corny "Please add Mintcoin to your prestigious, distinguished, world renowned exchange."
Better with "Please consider adding Mintcoin to your exchange".

I think the phrase "the daddy of them all" sound unprofessional. Maybe rephrase to "one of the first PoS coins fully implemented"

Ya, I was going for a bit of a humorous tone. I feel you right though I'm going to edit the original post.

Edit: I changed daddy to father. It's true that Mintcoin is the father as it was launched on feb. 6th. Please remember this is just a template, feel free to change it up if you like and make it your own. I just want to make it easier the community to get a letter.

Mintcoin: Get some
Realistically guys, where do you see mint coin going?

I've been holding mint for a while, for some reason I just can't sell, it feels wrong as for some reason I have massive faith in this coin! So I will continue to hold, tip and buy more.

Just wanting to ask any mint experts out there where you see this going, what can mint be worth and what's the likely hood? Be interested to hear from the more mint educated people of the community!
Seeing as how MINT has already endured a bear market, the next bull run should be epic. It looks like we are starting to come out of the flat-line and might be going to take off again.

MINT has the largest community.

MINT has the largest merchant base.

MINT basically has all of the infrastructure in place for mass adoption. That is what I like to see, the fundamentals are going to make it sustainable.

Damn. I was hoping to buy into MINT some more @ ~14 sats because I know it is the best coin. Oh well, I hope I can get them for under 20 sats by the time my BTC actually arrives.

I also bought more today, its still a great price.

Only thing is that I am starting to get a headache about securing my mints, no way I will install mint-qt on my dedicated BTC cold storage PC - I think I need another dedicated PC for MINT, since I do need to get it online once in a while for minting.
