Topic: [ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained] - page 909. (Read 1369787 times)

This is one of the few coins that actually benefits from ASIC.  A small amount of people running USB Scrypt ASIC (I guess they'll come eventually) for a couple of watts a day help maintain network transactions along with the PoS method.  Anyone running a supernode would probably be doing such a thing since it's not really much of a hassle.

I'm not a stake expert, but the only thing that worries me is, on Hobonickels for instance, having lots of people stake causes high stake difficulty, which also increases PoW difficulty.  I'm not sure if this is intended by design, or if the two should be unlinked somehow.  Hopefully PoW difficulty doesn't affect PoS difficulty for this coin, if so, running a Scrypt ASIC to help keep the network up for 0 rewards would effectively be griefing the stake holders, even if your intentions were good to help the network.  

If PoW and PoS difficulty are required to be linked, then running a PoW algorithm suited for CPUs only would probably be the best choice.

TLDR version:  If PoS and PoW difficulty have to be linked for whatever reasons, the PoW algorithm needs to avoid ASIC.  If they are unlinked, ASIC is beneficial for this coin in particular.

Maybe someone else who knows more about proof of stake systems can comment.

you can download this new wallet and run it, after sync you will have you coin.
IMPORTANT : DON'T DELETE the folder where is the wallet.dat (app data/roaming/mintcoin).

For more security you start your old wallet (1.2) and make a backup of it. Then download and open zip files with 1.3. start it and sync. Shouldn't be problems, but backup is strongly reccomended.


Or you can add this node list to your config, sync and then save the backup.

Backup your wallet.dat file and then upgrade and your old address should import.

Ok, so here is my current problem. I had 400K mintcoins I bought that were suppose to be delivered to a 'receive address' of the wallet version that will never synch for me. Can I still download this 'New' mintcoin wallet and will it save my previously created deposit addresses? Or do I have to fix my wallet before downloading new one, in order to keep the coins that I 'bought' but never received due to synching issues?

Thanks for any insight on this issue.

wonderfuuul!!! Who is the admin?

Mintcoin is still relatively easy to mine: http://mint.majorminers.com/

Once you do, store some in your wallet - send the rest to Mintpal to get some BTC.

One of the easiest ways to get BTC, really is to mine Mintcoin!

I put in a request.  


Mint has been added to
http://cryptofolio.info/

How do you calculate the PoS reward? Is it daily?

Request MintCoin to be added in this list https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-all-cryptocoins-134179 to gain more visibility.

Great stuff. I love it !

Any "moved" coins the pos time (coin-day) will be reset for them. It will not affect other "unmoved" coins in the wallet. The PoS will be generated if there are some coins in the wallet satisfying minimum requirements, and the amount generated will be based on the coin-day the total eligible coins have in your wallet.

We have started work on a nice new website.

Still scheduled for inspection Thursday and going live on Friday.

MINT is such fresh coin.

Wow, thanks for the wallet fix. It was working for me before, but with this it's even better

I am also pretty impressed by the community. A lot of projects are going on, working hard and we will succeed.
Things to do: Promote the coin and get it to a few more exchanges!

that's very usefull stuf 

Android wallet is suggested. A very positive aspect for coin promotion.

We're offering bounties for updated Linux and Mac wallets.

When will this be fixed for linux?

Can't lose with either one of those!  Great job!

First one is better I think !

Nice job with new logos and theme, it's really nice !

Mintcoin is doing great ! The community is just so awesome !
I am happy that i can help with the logo/banner designs, will have a lot more comming soon.
You can check 2 options for the Reddit banner ( its one option but the second one has a frame ) :



Suggestions are welcome ( English is not my main language so if you think the text could be better please share ).

MINT coooin !
