Can someone tell me what is wrong with the wallet?
I suspect some of the nodes in the conf file need to be deleted/banned
Can someone tell me which ones?
Current number of blocks: 254061
Estimated total blocks: 265643 <-----------------------
from console
11581 blocks remaining
The incorrect nodes need to be banned.
Then suddenly it says it is synced again:
Current number of blocks: 254079
Estimated total blocks: 254071 <--------------------------
"wallet check passed" : true
Hi, you don't have to do anything, your wallet notices that some node tries to feed it an invalid blockchain and bans its IP for 24 hours automatically (you can track the banning process from debug.log file). It's actually just a display issue (rogue client's advertised blockchain height keeps showing in the UI after it's banned&disconnected, until a few new connections are made to overwrite it), check my post below. Rogue clients are expected on a P2P network, and mintcoin wallet already has tools to protect itself from them. For the display issue, it'll be fixed in next release -- I already submitted a patch for it and devs merged it. It's not critical, so not urgent, just confusing. ...
Hello, If you're using 1.8 wallet, you can safely ignore sync problems. Just hover your mouse on the "syncing" text, if it says last generated block is generated just a few seconds/minutes ago, then you're fine. There are some rogue clients on the network that announce wrong block heights (they are people who did not upgrade to 1.7 or upgraded late, and still haven't noticed), when such a client connects to you, it confuses your client. Your client disconnects them, but the estimate on UI stays there. So it's really a display issue. Thanks |

Does anyone have a working block explorer? http://mint.blockx.info/get/chain/MintCoin is not updating. |

I think paspi (or unek?) is working on it. It was mentioned around 50 pages ago, I don't remember the link. |

Do we know why the block explorer stopped working to begin with? Was it something related to the update, or to the people who haven't updated yet which are causing us all to get occasional blips that our wallet is trying to synch ~8-10k blocks?

Block explorer has only been down for a day. It says no connection on the page, my wallet runs fine so I'm assuming the site operator lost internet for one reason or another. |

Found a non-profit organization based in the US that helps parents with seriously ill or critically injured children called Spare Key. And they accept Mintcoin donations through the Moolah system! It would be fantastic to show Spare Key that they have the support of one of the most innovative coins out there where they could gain interest on the donations. If they get enough support from our community I'm sure other non-profits will take notice as well as great exposure to the general public for Mintcoin. Non-Profit Site: http://www.sparekey.org/Donation Link: https://moolah.io/donate/357/mintcoin |

Seems to have gone a little quiet with the marketing side of things.
Anyone care to update how things are traveling with Merchants, plans etc?
It's hard watching others fly, when MINT has so much to offer. I realise long term is the big goal, but would be nice to see some action.

I set up some plans regarding Mintcoin Fund, Sonoa County and merchant adoption yesterday. I'll let the minters responsible for these to announce them in due time. |

One problem that has come up recently in BTC circles is that merchants who accept a coin but then immediately exchange it, are actually creating sell pressure rather than helping the coin price. Any ideas on how mint could work around this?

I'm a merchant and like the idea of making 20% interest on money coming in or that I'm holding. I believe this gives a little more incentive to hold onto the coins rather than immediately exchange them. Sometimes I can do alot better than 20% profit with items I buy/ sell but Mintcoin is alot better than holding Cash or just keeping money in a regular banking account. So there is at least some incentive to hold coins |
