Does anyone really care about the energy/resource "waste" of making money?
Of course, it's expensive overhead.

Greetings,

I'm considering investing in Mintcoin but can't wrap my mind around something which I would appreciate help with.

1.  POS starts when a coin has been in your wallet for 20 days, correct?  If I have 1 coin in my wallet for 20 days then add 1 million more, do those 1 million automatically become eligible for POS or do they have to go 20 days?

2.  If it is the latter, doesn't that make people not want to spend their coin as they then lose out on the POS?

Thank you.

I think you are missing the whole message behind Mintcoin. It is a Proof of Stake (PoS) coin not a Proof of Work (PoW). Big difference.

1. No, I believe each coin has to mature to become eligible. It's not a matter of the first transaction reaching a certain number of confirmations, or something along those lines.
2. I wouldn't think so, as long as the original principle wasn't touched your holding would in effect be earning a residual income you could either save or spend. Look at the public, they could could be saving their fiat and investing it, but they spend it. People want stuff.

PoS coins are great for hoarding, and being pumped, and being a ponzi scheme.

It's only ~1% every 20 days, so it's not /that/ huge of a concern. Plus, you only lose the PoS from the coins you move around, any amount that stay static for 20 days will increase.

If Dogecoin and Vertcoin had the Proof of Stake feature, both coins would be sitting on very high numbers. If you have a stake in Mintcoin, give yourself a pat on the back.

Give me a logical explanation as to why PoS is superior.

All I see is

Extreme early adopter dominance, inflation, and stagnation.

You seriously think this will catch on? It's being pumped.
The waste of energy for PoW cannot be justified when there is a more efficient alternative available.

Does anyone really care about the energy/resource "waste" of making money? Let's just stop making movies and superfluous consumer goods.

If anything crypto-currencies fight the flaws of fiat.

Nice Video
I like the voice!  ha ha.   

Really a great one, more people should watch it!

Guys, I'm contacting Bter and Btc38 at the same time, to ask them to list Mintcoin on their exchanges, hopefully they'll add it soon.

The coin starts to be overpumped, correction needed or the falling knife will be deadly.
again, selling this coin is very bad, people are going to be so sad for not letting POS kick in

Hi,

How do I mine mintcoin? I have the wallet up and running, but the way I understood, I need something more (cgminer?)

I create a .bat file (I am on Windows) with this:
Code:
  color 02
    setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
    C:\Users\Administrateur\Downloads\cgminer-3.9.0-windows\cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://mnt.allpoolz.com:3333 -u miner.1 -p x -I 13 -g 1 -w 64 --thread-concurrency 6144

And what are these "pool" and "stratum" things I keep hearing about everywhere?

Thank you.

Who is David Latapie?  From the recent posts, it seems that posters to this thread think he is the developer of Mintcoin.  It seems a few days ago he was asking questions on how to mine and using the wrong CGminer on top of that.  Now he is getting props as the developer?  Would someone please explain.   This whole thread is so comical.   There are other odd posts of his too.  Now he is an esteemed expert and possible developer 10 days later.  Only on the internet!

As the person who had the original idea behind Mintcoin, I find his actions reprehensible....Wink

He isn't part of the DEV team. He however had huge part in community management along with Shibeon, Alty, Delaforetnoire which I believe had huge impact on the growth we've seen the last 3 weeks.

Thank you.  I retract my comment and apologize to David.  Props are in order!
