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

[stormia]

Vault of Satoshi has just announced that Mintcoin will be added in April along with some other coins.

They are also going to be adding coin to coin trading to eliminate the going through BTC step...this is all great news

This is very good news indeed. I wish VoS still operated in the USA :/

Are you think about multipool for Mintcoin !? It will be very nice - the price will rise , then more people will be interested in Mintcoin and then the price will go even higher. What about that ?

A lot of miners are eager for a multipool. There was one last week and when it went online, the hashrate exploded. It surpassed Dogecoin. There were issues and it is being relaunched. So far, there are two or three that will be online really soon. Stay tuned! The distribution of Mintcoin will increase to reach more and more people and a massive price jump will be a side effect to this.

probably a pool, when much used, will create constant buy pressure, if done right and properly.

blackcoin seems to be doing quite well.

Hey guys, why should I prefer Mintcoin over Blackcoin? Any ideas? What is the difference?

Considering Blackcoin's rise ... I think Mintcoin is much more undervalued right now.

That & it pays 20% interest vs. 1% interest of Blackcoin...

This is a BIG deal! Vault of Satoshi gets a lot of mainstream attention, and we are one of only 5 coins to be added in April. We are the only one to pay interest, and the only one that is proof of stake.

Also mentioned on the Vault of Satoshi facebook page, additional fiat currencies will be added soon- including the Euro!

This community has done a great job getting Mintcoin off the ground

Blackcoin seems to be exploding, but most of it is psychological. If you were to double Mintcoin's current price we would be at 32 satoshi, and have a higher market cap than BC has at the moment. A 16 satoshi move could happen in minutes when you consider the true value of Mint.

-20% interest for people who buy now. That's 200k extra coins if you buy 1 million.
-multipools that pay out in mint coming online
-android wallet soon
-Environmental fund established
-Added to Vault of Satoshi
-First coin to go from proof of work to proof of stake

I know there is more, but I'm tired at the moment.

I plan to provide an update on the status of the Android wallet weekly until such time as the bounty is removed.  I've completed all of the cosmetic and translation work in the wallet.  I've begun work in the mintcoinj library.  As thisisit mentioned, this portion is slow going but progress is being made.  I have made the code changes to allow outgoing peer connections on the main mintcoin network.  Currently I'm working through some protocol & deserialization exceptions attempting to download the blockchain.  Any updates to the mintcoin wiki in the form of protocol specifications and testnet configurations (if any) would be greatly appreciated.  Keep checking the URL of my original post for updated screenshots.

I don't know what most of that means, but AWESOME nonetheless!

you can read the code of the mintcoin-qt on github. all information is in there. most of the things you ask are in main.cpp, main.h and bitcoinrpc.cpp.

i doubt a public testnet is running. but i could be wrong.

Bump to this letter I wrote to get more businesses involved:

https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=450381.msg5857852#msg5857852

Feel free to use this letter and print it off and send it off to businesses in your area. Modify it as you see fit.

You may wish to tweak it a bit and send it off to charities and non-profits (NGOs, activists, etc.). They seem really responsive to new methods of receiving payment. Ask them to add "Mintcoin Accepted" to their charity homepage. Tell them you'd be the first to make a donation and link their page here so that the community will donate as well via Mintcoin.

Thanks Crindon. I sent it to sauce4coins.com. They should totally add Mintcoin to their list of accepted coins!

This is encouraging, thanks for the update.
What is the current bounty (amount) for the Android App. I've yet to see it anywhere.

Thanks.

you should give him 10-20 million at least if succeeds.

note that this is also a step for any multibit.

Wow! If I post in the wrong thread (tab) one more time - I'm going to quit using the internet! I feel like I used to back in the 90's using mIRC! Arg!

That's why I would like to know. I've no idea what an Android Wallet is worth but as I asked about 2 weeks ago, if we new what the actual number was, it would have allowed others to shop the project around. There's a good possibility we might have had a wallet by now.

I do see where it says there is a bounty, but I've never seen where it says how much.

David, you are obviously in constant contact with the developers, what do they say is the bounty for the Android Wallet? Has there been some reason this has been kept from the community? Just wondering.

This is very good news indeed. I wish VoS still operated in the USA :/

Adam from VoS has told me they are actively working on getting back to the USA market, it will just take some time.

Someone else mentioned this bug last week, and I've been chasing it since. Completed fixing it today, submitted a patch to devs just a couple of hours ago. Probably it'll be included in the next release.

edit: I thought I should give more information. Balance displayed on UI was correct. Balance displayed when calling "getbalance" by itself was correct. The commands "getbalance *", "getbalance ""   ", "getbalance accountname", "listaccounts" had some problems, their outputs were inconsistent with each other and UI's shown balance. The inconsistencies occured only on minted transactions

I might have found a bug (I am trying to find out why seemingly only one small part of my coins are used for minting. That's when I found this.)


When I go into the console, and type

listaccounts  or
getbalance "accountname"

then the balances I get are not the balances
but some other number.


Example: Look at this address
http://mintcoin-explorer.info/address/MfAs6pvNE1NWj9ddyaikW4gsDxsexBF3Vp

listaccounts  or
getbalance "accountname"

does not show  1440.394655
 but instead it says 1424.418765

- WHICH WAS THE BALANCE, BUT ONE MONTH AGO!

Some of my other addresses show similiar behaviour, in general, the shown balance is too high.


This address was successfully used for minting once:

(Please quote/PM me when you answer, so that I can use search. I can impossibly read this whole forum noise.)

Crindon thank you for working on the letter I appreciate it!
