[ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained]

[CatKiwi]

This thing is somewhat of a steal currently. Should be around 27-29 but can be had for 22-23. It's friggin' hard to mine and the only reason it is low right now is because:

1. It is being heavily manipulated to stay down by a few large MINT holders who bought up many 10s of millions yesterday and want to keep buying up more at 22 and below.
2. The minting process has had a few niggles causing people to have to fiddle about to get their wallet minting.

Now it will all be resolved reasonably quickly one would think and when it does people are going to really start buying up - A coin that can make you money without using your GPU and electricity - for the average user that is a no brainer.

Let's see what happens over the next 8 hours....

If you can run Lion you can run Mavericks. I'd upgrade, it is free and works better as far as I can tell. I run Mavericks and the Mintcoin wallet has been up and running without a hitch for a week now. BTW I have wallets on PC and Linux too. The PC wallet seems the most flaky, but they all run seemingly well for the most part.
Good luck.

Is Mintpal down or something? Is anyone else having problems getting on?

I'm getting the Cloudflare "Error 521 Web server is down" message, so looks like it.

Correct.

There is no guarantee you will mint at the 20 day mark. 20 days is the earliest possible, but more than likely it will take several days longer than 20 days before you mint coins. It is comparable to PoW mining in that if you have a small amount of hashpower, it will take you longer to find a PoW block; the same holds true in PoS minting in that a small amount of coins will take you longer to find a PoS block and mint coins. If you have like 1 mintcoin, your probably won't generate ANY new coins, because the probability is so small, just like if you tried to use your cpu to find a PoW block in Bitcoin right now. If you want to mint closer tot he 20 day mark, then it helps if you acquire more coins, as each coin has power to accrue coin age and just like mining gear generates hashpower.

Is minting working or are we still waiting for an update or was all that a false alarm?

I can confirm that minting works as advertised on PC and Linux wallets. My Mac wallet is too young for met to tell, but I'm sure others can chime in for Mac.

Some are having problems, although others are not. The dev team is aware and working on it.

So I have tons of transactions that show mined from minting.  I'd say 150+ so far.  However, I have almost 90% of them that show NO confirmations, even 5 days back.  I'm running on latest mint wallet on Mac.  Any ideas why this is?  Is this part of the issues that was being mentioned?

My wallet started Minting Mints yesterday, so it was about 21 days since my first deposit.
