Alright (I am getting impatient, I decide after just three persons Smiley)

The main topic will be on mintcointalk but one of the first duty will be to keep some intersperced discussions on bitcointalk for getting some newcomers to know it (I will hardly be able to handle this, this will be a job for the commmunity management team).

Here is the text I just wrote on mintcointalk.com. Since this is the first one, I will copy it in its entirety but please reply there in the future (that's topic #400, btw): Mintcoin Fund.

Quote
Hi everyone,
Project F is finally unveiled. I told you (and the dev told you also earlier) that it would be huge and it is.
Much like bitcoin, litecoin and dogecoin, we are opening up a foundation.
The Mintcoin Fund (for legal reason, it could not be named Foundation) will focus on promoting Mintcoin and sustainable development initiative. Excerpt from the bylaws (translated, the official text is in French) :
Quote
The goal of Mintcoin Fund is to promote the Mintcoin cryptocurrency and its underlying goal of reducing humany environmental footprint.
Legally speaking, this will be an endowment fund under the French Law. It will be open to anyone with no distinction of nationality or even age (although some responsabilites will be off-limit for non-emancipated minors).
There is no entrance fee. Everything is open to consideration. Here are some of the topic already considered:
  • an official escrow service. It will deal only in mintcoin, and will either be free of charge or fees will be donated to the Mintcoin Fund (which in turn MIGHT compensate the
  • Mintcoin Fund actually handling the escrow, but nothing for sure — if we can automate the process, we could avoid this).
This thread will be the main topic of discussion. Much like the ANN on bitcointalk, I believe a single very large topic draws more attention than several small topic (people judge by the amount of pages).

It will be necessary to regularly update advancements on the bitcointalk page too, at least for getting more persons involved.

Another brillant news (althoug less huge, I'd say) will be announced next week. Stay tuned!

BOOM! Exactly what Mintcoin needed! I'm moving BTC to buy more at this discount price. Nice work Mintcoin Team!!

Hi,

(cross posted on mintcointalk)

Project F is advancing steadily. I thank all of the people who contacted me, I was positvely impressed by the massive amount of people who PM'd me. Now that is a proof of an active community!

Next step is to set up a communication channel. I hesitate on what to do. Below are my various proposal (I am open to others):
- Project F subtopic on bitcointalk.org. Sure, bitcointalk.org has most of the traffic, but I believe there is no room for another mintcoin topic out of the ANN topic. This would be public.
- Project F discussion in the ANN topic. I believe it would only lead to confusion. On the other hand, it would lead to more visibility to newcomers. This would be public.
- Project F on a dedicated mintcointalk.com forum thread. This would be "cleaner", since it would be on a dedicated forum, and it could be either private or public. Downside is: less visibility for newcomers
- Project F on a Google Groups ML. Advantage is: easier reply by mail (I prefer mail to forum). Downside is, I think, even lower visibility. Would be better for a "inner core" group.

Voilà, please tell me what you would prefer.
- Dedicated bitcointalk topic
- intersparced discussion in ANN topic
- topic on mintcointalk
- google group mailing list

Great news. So when are you going to tell people what is "Project F" ? Why the super secret?

Edit: Whatever it is, I vote for Reddit. We can bring a lot of people in over there if we start using it more.

My vote would be a topic on Mintcointalk. I have an account there too, but I agree visibility is higher at bitcointalk.org. Not knowing what the project is, I'd err on the side of cleaner.

Also, I'm willing to help out with whatever it may be!

I have 2 unconfirmed minting.not recieve after 2 days,what i do ?





These types of questions are going to become more frequent - could the dev team 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), thanks?

 

That's been asked for since the launch....nada

Those are simply orphaned blocks. Pay no attention to them. Its not an issue, since your coin age is not reset when you get orphan.

Quote
Could FAQ be expanded to include more detail? eg  
1) Does one have to "setgenerate true" in the wallet to mine?  
2) Could pictures be added of common problems with answers to aid explanations?
3) Add mining examples with approx. hours that a wallet must be open/unlocked per 20 days to ensure mining?

1. No! CPUminer for stake is automatically started when you start wallet. Its integrated inside client. Only thing you need to do for getting stake is be online and unlock wallet.
2. Which are common problems you are talking about? I dont see any problem when running Mintcoin.
3. This has been answered many times. For best stacking interest you should be online and unlocked once per 20 days and minimum once per 40 days. Luck for getting stake block is random. So no one can tell you exactly when you will get it. Can be in first minute and can take few days in worst case.

Just looked at the new orderbook at mintpal MINT/BTC. There are millions of coins waiting in the sell section at such unrealistic rates they could have more profit holding it in their own wallet for PoS. For example:

0.00075000   - 630000.00000000 - 472.50000000

75000 sat is just unrealistic for a coin in the billions, maybe if it still exists in 2020? If those 630000 where held in a private wallet and unlocked a few times the person would receive 126,000 free coins after a year.

All downward pressure that has to be shaken off somehow.

hint to do multipool:

setup stratum,
setup multiple wallets,
setup software to determine most profitable coin,

hashTime=difficulty * (pow(2.0, 32) / (hashRate * 1000.0))
blocksPerDay = (24.0 * 3600.0)/hashTime
coinsPerDay = coinsPerBlock*blocksPerDay

setup wrapper class to cryptsy ( sell, etc ),
setup database registration of shares ( reuse stratum db )
if most profitable coin, change config, hotload new settings using reload_settings.sh,
make a payout module based on shares submitted, weighted for diff.

something like that.

hashcows? try wafflepool.
Done that, they didnt like the idea...

Wafflepool is holding 45.5m MINTs that it can't get rid off. No wonder they don't like MINT Tongue

Really? Between the 11 and 10 BUY wall there is over 145,000,000 million Mint waiting to be bought. Explain how it is they can't get rid of it.

Yeah and they have a huge loss, since all the miners would get 4x less money (BTCs) than expected. Waffle was calculating that MINT is worth 40+ sat when it decided it is the most profitable coin to mine but before it managed to sell it the price dropped a lot.
That's the reason they are holding now and will dump it once it raises over certain threshold.

The pool will be CGminer compatible, this would be the website running it if we get enough demand: https://hashco.ws/gettingstarted/

http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/20vtiy/bounty_for_a_new_multipool/

There IS a mobile wallet in the works. Please read my previous post, links are provided.
how much is needed to start the multipool?
I'm waiting for reply from the pool owner about the details

You need the script. Not easy to find. Or develope one for yourself...

Yes, i've been watching these orders aswell.
Seems like they either dont mind waiting, or they did not realise that they are losing that much.
Or could it be that the number there is a sum of all orders at 0.00075?

Could be, no way to tell. Only know if it is a round figure like 10000 coins or 750000 then it's usually just one person.
