Made a screenshot of the richlist 18 March and just checked the top 5 again. No 1 is selling.

Giving syncing messages is OK and harmless, there are STILL some 1.6 clients on the network who try to follow another blockchain, and they cause confusion on 1.7+ clients. But only the estimated number of blocks is incorrect, everything works fine.

For your problem, it seems like that file got corrupt (I don't know why 1.7 accepts it and 1.8 does not). I would advise you to backup your wallet.dat (actually you can backup entire .MintCoin folder), delete the other files, and start 1.8 with only wallet.dat there.

how did you notice that? blockchain explorer?

Anyone noticed the biggest mint share holder sold almost 400mil mint the last 3 weeks. Seems to me this is causing the price slowly going down. Also it should be a good thing that his shares are dropping, I rather see the mints spread out more.

Don't forget we have access to the MOST PROFITABLE multipool out there: https://hashco.ws/

Just sign up and change the payout to Mint! Pool is currently over 1600 MH. Sign up now and get more Mintcoin before price blows up!

okay cool thanks ill check it out  
also
is anyone else mintcoin wallet using a lot of cpu, mine hovers around 20% on a dual core windows 8 pc and sometimes it goes as high as 40% even if its synced and up to date
is this normal??

This 100%.

Just look at the last few pages to see all Mint has going for itself.
 
-All security concerns were immediately addressed.
-Coin control added
-QR support added
-Android wallet on the way
-Vault of Satoshi on the way
-Foundation started
-20% Annual gain on coins held, minted at 20 day intervals

I only wish I had more cash to invest, Mint is definitely set to EXPLODE

The sync jumps are related with pre-1.7 clients. Those are rejecting blocks of the main network and continuing with their own chain. It is harmless to 1.7+ users, but distracting.


Anyone has an estimate on number of pre-1.7 nodes out there?

What if on next version, we reject connections with 1.6 and below? 1.6 and below would have their own cluster (currently 1.7+ nodes impose a limit on them), would have difficulty connecting to other nodes (as everyone moves to 1.9), and will eventually see that they need to download the new version.

I guess this is possible as peers announce their protocol version and client version on connection establishment. But I cannot foresee the effects of removing 1.7+ nodes from 1.6 network and let them roam freely with their blockchain.

Hi!


Anyone who is having sync jumpback. Please do the following:

1. Go to your roaming folder and delete everything but the wallet.dat.
2. Download version 1.8. Only this version has the newest checkpoints!
3. Add official mintcoin.conf file to roaming/mintcoin folder
4. Open a beer and let the wallet sync.  

--------------------------

Heres 1.8 update for Mac-OSx wallet. It is not mandatory, but would be nice if you update to it. 1.8 OSx wallet includes:

- newest checkpoints
- QR support (added because Mintcoin has android wallet incoming. QR code support becomes important)
Download link until official link is updated:

Hey! Prelude has USD and Mint in the same place: https://prelude.io/
I think Vault of Satoshi will have MINT markets soon. I don't see Australia listed as one of the countries that they don't allow verification in, so that is good news.

1.8 works great here

It all worked fine for me.

Every time I see your nickname, all I can think of is how confused I always got playing Omaha, so I stick to Holdem....lol

im download 1.8 now. hope it works. going smooth so far

just letting people no that i have just updated from 1.7 to 1.8 without any problems so far. 1.7 kept jumping out of sync for me, so far 1.8 has not jumped out of sync and synced up pretty fast idk y
when i installed 1.7 i done a clean install like everyone said to do. with 1.8 i only replaced the mintcoin.conf file in %appdata% and is working really well, i have not yet received pos or minted coins on 1.8 yet as ive only been getting minted coins every couple of days with other wallets so we shall wait a couple days and see how it goes
also
great to see devs and the community working hard to get this coin accepted on more places keep it up guys
and remember tell every one you know bout this coin recruit as many people as you can while the price is still cheap, buy as much as you can and hold  n mint ill be buying more with my next paycheck, only problem is i have to buy bitcoins first then transfer them to mint i read somewhere that someone is working on a USD-MINT witch would be great but still im in Australia so i would love to see a AUD-MINT if anyone can confirm this it would be much appreciated thanks

If you're still having problems, you can go into the "Debug Console" and type in repairwallet if that does not work use salvagewallet

This has worked for some users according to the subreddit posts.

Ok - I was having problems for the last couple of days with 1.7 - The wallet would be in sync (current date/time/blocks), and then suddenly it would say that it was syncing, with ~4k to ~8k blocks to go... even though the date/time would be the current date/time. Like it had four to eight thousand blocks to sync over the last minute or so.

When I took this screenshot, it was indeed today at 12:22 pm, yet ~6000 blocks out of sync, even though it reported that it was synced just moments earlier - and transactions were almost instantaneous, so I would not agree that it was really out of sync at all:



First thing I did was to try deleting the peers.dat file, hoping there was an issue with a peer or two. It synced up, but within a couple of minutes, it happened again.

Next thing I did was to remove all of the addnodes from the .conf file, to more aggressively try to weed out the possibility of a "bad peer". Same thing happened.

So I deleted the /users/yadayada/appdata/roaming/mintcoin dir, and re-downloaded the entire blockchain which took hours (which confuses me, because I'm using broadband, and I haven't had a problem with my other wallets - but that's a separate issue for another time).

It happened again for a very brief period, but as I type this, it has managed to stay synced for a couple of hours. Hopefully it has been solved.

My dilemma is I don't know if I want to take the chance on 1.8 yet or not. It depends on whether this is will be the "final" update re:Heartbleed issue. If not - I'd rather wait until that.

So, short question: Is there anything further that will need to be done to resolve any critical issues? Or should I go ahead and update?

Secondarily - does anyone have any ideas what might cause the issue I was describing with the sudden 4 or 5 thousand block out-of-sync issue? (Again - when it said this - it listed the correct time/date). Also, do I need to re-dl the whole blockchain again? (Man - I hope not! lol!)

Thanks.

Notes- You will find Mintcoin files in your download folder and your appdata folder. If you delete everything EXCEPT wallet.dat you will be able to do a clean install.

-Future versions shouldn't require these extra steps. This is a result of going from hybrid PoW\PoS to pure PoS

NEW WALLET HAS COIN CONTROL!

In wallet choose settings-->options-->display-->mark "display coin control features"

Click OK. You will see CCF on Send tab now.

If you want to send only the newest coins do the following:

1. Open "inputs"
2. Choose list mode
3. Click on conformations twice to sort by lowest amount of conformations first.
4. Select enough adresses to fulfill your required amount.
5. Click OK
6. Use sending tab as usual.


Ill give it a go and make short video about this feature soon.

Thanks Kergecoin!

If you would like, thank Kergecoin with Mint-  MrXW1RKLDe8VMNwTwLwSiKuATN5M74EL85

Are you sure this is necessary? I'm pretty sure Kergecoin said the .conf file is included in the new wallet.

My wallet works fine. What I did was save my wallet.dat, then I deleted EVERY Mintcoin file on my computer like it never existed.

-I then downloaded the new wallet.
-I opened it until it showed the wallet, then immediately closed it.
-then I replaced the wallet.dat with my saved wallet.dat and downloaded the new blockchain.  See post below.

AHh this is probably my issue. Thank you!
