Wouldn't it be nice if we had a chat on the mintcointalk forum for faster discussion?

According to the fact that dev is speaking there, I'd second this.

Still, there should still be some traffic here, for the page count. I guess a progressive transition will help. If mintcoin is active, there will alway be newcomers to post here, anyway.

Sure, but dude those logos your getting excited about on mintcointalk are pretty damn boring and more suited to leafcoin. Just being honest.
Mint coin is not simply about a mint leaf, geez! Your forgetting the whole minting process.
Please someone with an ounce of creativity design a proper logo better than a damn leaf and I will give them 150k coins myself.

You've been heard by dev himself:

I edited my previous post:
-if possible, emphasize on the Minting process. There must be a creative way to mix both the plant and the process...

Well about the logo or banner, it would be best if eveyrone gives out some ideas. Its really hard for a designer that was never into cryptos to do something without any guidance

Anyone else having problems with a lot of minted coins not being accepted?

Some coins not accepted is normal, if it is the majority maybe your internet connection is very slow or you have not enough nodes.
If it is during a short period of time only, you may just be unlucky.

So far I like kopaam's 1st design best, you can vote for it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/1yj93t/contest_voting_time_24_hours_to_choose_mints_new/ (disregard the 24hr thing, as they obviously havn't chosen yet.

Yes, we decided that no logo was covincing enough (contrary to slogan, which had been elected).

Post here http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,249.msg753.html and say you will raise up the price to an additionnal 150k (for a total of 1450k for the winner) if it follows your guideline and get chosen.

Kind of normal for PoS minting, really.

There must be people with tens of millions MINT and then there are those like me (don't feel sorry, because this was an sidestep for me and I only have 0.9btc worth), who have far less. From a distribution point-of-view that doesn't really look to good. You end up with the same whales and a lot of people with very small amounts (the ones that don't mine but buy).

I'm really curious how this coin will develop (or not) in the next 2-4 weeks.

Mint distribution is not perfect, but it is better than Ripple's centralization and Nxt's cooptation. There may be something even better, but so far, mint is the faire I know of.
Plus the name and the community. This matters. A lot.
(And the trolls. This does not matter. At all)

Why hasn't the logo changed yet? So many nice designs have been submitted..

Because
1- we have further requirement than just a great logo - see http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,249.msg969.html#msg969 for more information
2 - logos are so goergeous it is hard to decide yet
3 - before voting, we have to agree on a deadline for submissions, which we did not yet.

What are you guys current predictions about this coin? Do you guys predict a slow growth or a slow death?

Growth. The dev team is active, just not active on this thread. I must say I find this irritating, because this thread is affecting the market most at this point. That said you can see activity here:http://www.mintcointalk.com/

I wonder if it's going to be a solid coin.

It's nice that all the tech is a-okay and that this coin will be POS in 2 weeks, but in the mean time you have the miners dumping the sh*t out of this coin. I wonder what is left after the POW has ended. Let's hope it will regain some value, but who knows?

20% interest sounds nice, unless you bought in at 39 (like I have) and the coin stays in the lower twenties...

I have only POS crypto's, with mainly NXT and some MINT (and stakes at NEM and eXo). All for different reasons.

We are working towards a long-term development that is branded and works well for people new to cryptos who don't want to setup miners in order to get the benefits of mining.

Instead of mining, everyone holding will be minting, and they will help secure the network.

Cheers.

How about instead of you people criticizing someone's work you create your own?

Well for starters, arent we allowed to have a discussion? Im just being brutally honest.
Secondly, I have already posted a logo on that forum, with a herb tree growing coins, but I only have 'paint'
which is why i put up a bounty for someone with better skills and tools than I.

+1

Although I agree, conveying the "minting" aspect would be a powerful message.

I know what POS is and how it works, but my problem is about the mining phase.

There must be people with tens of millions MINT and then there are those like me (don't feel sorry, because this was an sidestep for me and I only have 0.9btc worth), who have far less. From a distribution point-of-view that doesn't really look to good. You end up with the same whales and a lot of people with very small amounts (the ones that don't mine but buy).

I'm really curious how this coin will develop (or not) in the next 2-4 weeks.

Yes, we are going to be doing giveaways and bounties in order to spread to those who did not have the opportunity to mine it or get in early.

Everyone is welcome to buy in right now the price is very low.

The beauty of the PoS is that the people with the most amount of coins have the most to gain by giving those coins away as bounties for the coin development.
