any progress on that?
We have one potentially interested. Being faithful to my own policy, I won't mention name before it is done.

No kidding a few weeks ago my dad had a dream this coin was worth 10$ each. No ramp or bs, just saying, funny how a bunch have had this dream about mint.

Havent been updated in a while Deadman can you please tell me what updates we need?

I'm not on the team. Here's a link to the wishlist: http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,263.0.html
I'm currently working to collect the bounty on the Android wallet. There is still some work to do in the mintcoinj library but the front-end is almost finished. Here are the current screenshots:

Thanks to mrqu1cky it looks like we're getting close to an android wallet- a MAJOR development!
Thanks to dille71 we have an offer from a legitimate multipool operator to develop a multipool that pays out in Mint: The pool is HashCow
https://hashco.ws/
I believe the developer should pay any requested bounty, but if you wish to contribute you can do so here: http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/20vtiy/bounty_for_a_new_multipool/
Edit: Anyone who visits the reddit page please make sure to at least upvote it. Bitcoin has a gazzilion multipools paying into it daily, why shouldn't we have at least one? If you don't have a reddit account you can set one up in seconds, you don't even need to put in an email address.
For those who wish to support the multi-pool. Hopefully the development team can get behind this and stop ignoring pleas from the community.
A better multipool would be great. I know a lot of people who would want to get some Mintcoins, but they don't want to 'pay' for it. They said that it would be risky if they had to put their money into it and they said they wouldn't mind turning their miners on to get it for them. They get cheap or free electricity and their miners are already paid off. This would dramatically increase distribution of Mintcoin and buy pressure would be a pleasant side effect.

mintcointalk or reddit thread is OK ...
I am not much into reddit so I did not think about it. But yes, reddit shall be updated too. Who will be in charge of this? We need a CM for reddit. So far, we have these potential candidates (that's the whole CM team, save for chris who is devoted to mintcointalk.com since he created it):ShibeonBarkmont

I told you "wait for next week" 
Don't tease me David. A little more info if you please?? Gimme somethin' to beleive in! I really like the idea of supporting green energy-Is that what the fund is about?
Everything is too vague. Please answer a couple questions:
1.What will the foundations funds be used for?
2.When can we expect a multi-pool?
I had a dream last night that mint was worth more than 100,000 satoshi, don't shatter my dreams man!
I had a similar dream and I'm not making this up or exaggerating. If you look at my other posts, I have been having dreams about Mintcoin prices. I looked at Litecoin prices and they went up to 25,000,000 satoshis with Mintcoin rising up to 3,000,000 satoshis. There were huge buy orders too (100BTC) because Mintcoin caught the eye of some Wall Street investors. There was a panic buy-in and bid wars. In the dream, I kept telling myself to, "Wake up! Wake up now and sell some Mintcoins off!"

Will links to these new discussion topics in different venues be placed on this thread for user convenience?
If someone does it. I won't, too much other things to do. But please feel free. A newsletter à la NXT could be another idea.Ok, thanks.
This appears to be a serious development for MINT. I was hoping something like this would be in the pipeline but this actually exceeded my expectations.
And I am also glad to see that the nagging questions about the premine have been answered definitely and now we can move beyond that.
Excellent work, I applaud your efforts and will follow the topic on mintcoin talk as well.

1. For various projects related to sustainable developments. The list of projects and the priorisations of action will be decided by the community. Final decision (from a shortlist) may be decided by an "inner core" (Board of Directors, or Working Board, legally speaking - this will depend on the amount of control we want to have upon this). I think we should enforce every project to be announced on one particular topic on mintcointalk (for easier referencing) but that's just a proposal.Everything is too vague.

2. See my PM.
For other people reading this: the reason why I am secretive is that I don't like to announce things which may not happen. No other reasons. If announcing prematurely could help things to happen, I would happily announce them straight away.

Well, a foundation is a great idea. It would get our name out there if we actively supported green energy sources. But at current prices, it would take a whole lot of Mint to make even the smallest impact. Our current market cap has fallen to 1.3 Million.
What say we get that multipool up and running so we might have some value to contribute. I'm just being real here. We are getting trounced by blackcoin. Why? The multipool. That's the only reason, everything about our coin is better; more liquidity, much higher interest, larger community.

I support - first increase coin value via a multi-pool and then create a foundation to support green ideas backed by a strong Mintcoin.
Mintcoin to the Moon!
PS:
I see a lot of members asking for more info on the POS Mining - I have coin more than 20 days in wallet and have not received any (wallet updated and unlocked) so as previously requested "add a help file and/or FAQ to the wallet to explain the "mining" of mint coin in easy to understand language (with pictures if possible)"
Also if the 20days can be reduced to 1 day - even if payouts are less will also help.

One thing that may not be clear for everyone: we are talking about an officially sanctionned, legally-recognised Fund under the French jurisdiction (with all the tax-deductible thing also). Not a Facebook fan page or the like.
If you want to read (or stress-test) the bylaws, follow the mintcointalk page link above.

that does not matter so much. i can setup a (legal) official charity fund as well. quite easily. the price of mintcoin matters and the amount donated to the funds. also cooperation with large charity organisations/other sustainability funds helps.
any progress on that?

i think it is a great idea. do not get me fully wrong. but deadmanwalking is right i think.
leafcoin has 11 million in their foundation. they convert it to trees, they have a cooperation with the worldwildlife fund and still their price is 1 satoshi.
i dont think it will help increasing value.
but maybe i am wrong. lets hope so.

Yep, when dogecoin sent the Jamaicans to Sochi they had a market cap of 70 Million. Who are we kidding here?
March 22, 2014, 01:40:54 PM
that is why it does not work for leafcoin. currently.
March 22, 2014, 01:40:12 PM
a foundation? thats it? can you explain what makes this foundation different from other foundations?
sorry, i expected more.
It is for mintcoin and devoted to sustainable development. Granted, Dogecoin foundation had a Doge4water initative, but that was just one initiative among others and Dogecoin doesn't have any environmentalism focus by itself (don't make me wrong, the Foundation will not be SOLELY about sustainable development - it will be its main focus, not the only one).sorry, i expected more.
Apart from that, we have some projects already going on. I will talk about some, whilst some other cannot be talked about yet.
(by the way, there is nothing wrong about stolen idea; for start because they are not stolen, since they are not protected; second, because the memetic world is all about imitaiton, as Voltaire famously said it 300 hundred years ago - the Not-Invented-Here syndromes makes more harm than good and what matters is not the innovation, it is the implementation).

if i am correct this is the same idea as leafcoin. it did not save them.
