[moderndezigns]

When do you guys think Mintcoin will reach $0.01?

Will it be August 01, 2014?

Will it be September 01, 2014?

Will it be December 01, 2014?

Will it be March 01, 2015?

I would love to see it reach this value

Me too at last we agree on something!

Me too at last we agree on something!

I am glad to hear it, even though it was not my initial intention

The 1.7 wallet uses 27% CPU usage not minting or syncing, my other wallets use about 8% CPU usage. The cpu usage for the mint wallet seems high.

might have something to do with removing PoW, do you have a BC wallet and if so what is it's CPU usage?

I have a Mintcoin ver 1.7 wallet, a BC wallet, a Karpelescoin wallet as well as a EMC2 wallet all opened as well as all the other stuff on this PC and my total CPU usage never goes above 12%.

Mine rarely jumps above 9% since the 1.7 update.

My cpu usage says 0%.

EDIT: I think it slowly drops the longer you continue to have it open.

It also depends on the type of CPU you have, I should of stated it is an intel Core i3-2330M. My wallets on my gaming rig use 0% CPU.
No BTC wallet on my laptop.

Try upgrading to Windows 8.1 Update 1, it lowers the OS memory requirements to half of the Windows 8.1 requirement, just 1 GB minimum. It will be available through Windows Update on April 8th. It's also available for MSDN or Technet subscribers.

Well, things seem to be moving along nicely now, there have been a few community contributions added to the bounties since I first posted it. Here's a new breakdown of them:

Here's the outline of the graduated bounties from the Developer:


1: Basic Android Wallet for Phone and Tablets         5,000,000 Mintcoins
2: PoS Coin Minting Feature                                    3,500,000 Mintcoins
3: Battery Management Feature                               1,500,000 Mintcoins


Here's the community donations so far:

stormia donated 200,000 Mintcoins (125,000 for basic wallet 50,000 for Minting Feature 25,000 for Battery Feature)
Jeff Jefferson donated 300,000  Mintcoins (100,000 for basic wallet 150,000 for Minting Feature 50,000 for Battery Feature)

So total bounties so far are:

2: PoS Coin Minting Feature                                    3,700,000 Mintcoins
3: Battery Management Feature                               1,575,000 Mintcoins

Thanks for the donations so far, and thanks go out to the people that are currently working on the wallet. As more donations come in, and more news of the progress of the wallet is made, I'll post here for everyone to read.

For anyone who wants to pledge Mintcoins towards these bounties, Please PM me the amount of the pledge as well as which bounties you want to donate to. This is for logistical reasons, so I don't have to scroll through pages upon pages of forum posts to confirm whats been pledged and to where.

Thanks

I will olso donate 500000 mint i will pm you tommorow when I have access to my mint. Keep up the good work, great seeing that this coin is still developping. We should all donate to the people who can actually do something, this will benefit us all.

@Beaverslayer
I'm planning on starting a github fork of bitcoinj or digibytej in the weekend for a base of the android wallet. I think I digged deep enough in the mintcoin C++ codebase to make this conversion. Once the library is done, rest is just UI, and can be forked from any coin wallet.

I'll start the project on github, and will provide write access to the repo for interested parties. I want all the changes of mint from bitcoinj or digibytej to be recorded in github, so it will be easy to merge upstream changes later. (As far as I can see, digibytej started as a brand new project, and uploaded bitcoinj + their changes in a single commit, which makes it hard to keep track of what they changed)

I haven't tested any coin's android wallets myself, if there are differences in look & feel of them, I'll be happy to know.


Still, if anyone already started this, please don't stop development This message is just FYI, not a commitment yet.

@Beaverslayer and @paspi.

I'm also cloning bitcoinj to start with the whole wallet thing. Wish me luck.

@everyone, I'll keep you informed on the progress.

We are approaching 1 week since payouts in MINT were implemented on http://hashco.ws  While I appreciate the new miners who have given us a shot and 'mined' some mint, the uptake isn't quite what I'd hoped for.  In an effort to try and get things going, I received a total of 1,850,000 mint in bounties for implementation.  If we can reach 300Mh/s in new hashrate that gets paid out in mint, and maintain it for at least 5 days, I'll give away all of it to random miners in the form of 3 prizes; 1mil, 600k, 250k.  (personal hashrate will play no bearing on the prize winners, 10Mh/s or 300Kh/s, you'll have the same chance of winning).

I'll post updates here on hashrate status if warranted. 

Happy Mining.

Sign up, go to account settings and change payout to Mint.

Just a reminder. This is one of the best run multi pools out there: http://poolpicker.eu/ With all the developments going on, Mint won't stay at this price point long. Better get it while you can!

I'm not sure why more people are interested in Blackcoin over Mint? Someone tell me please, is it the 0% Premine? Since my time here, I've noticed the devs are very committed and hard at work at making this a good coin, yet Blackcoin is getting 1000 BTC volume everyday while we are getting less than 50. BTW, i fully support mint just bought 1 mill more because i think this coin has a good future.

It's not that people are more interested in BC than Mint, it's got a lot to do with "Market Manipulation". If you look (and watch) the BC market for any given amount of time, you will see that the total BTC traded may be a high number, but it is actually a deceiving number.

For example:

I have .05 BTC and I buy X BC with that, then I place a sell order at a 50 to 75 Satoshi higher price than I payed. Once they sell I again buy X amount of BC for less than I just sole for, and then again sell for 50 to 75 Satoshi gain per BC.

Each one of those trades (buy and sell) are recorded as BTC volume, which is actually inflating the real amount of BTC being traded. You can also look at the amount of each trade (buy and sell) and see that there are very few orders that are above 0.05 BTC.

People are using BC as a means to pump the value to en inflated price to earn fast money, just like many of the other altcoins.

Don't look at the markets to see how popular Mint is, look at the community and the things being done in the community to further the viability and acceptance of Mintcoin as a TRUE Crypto Currency.
