About
MineCoin is made with love for miners. More and more coins these days are proof of stake only. We love our great miners that do the hard work to keep a network fast and secure. We should all realize that thanks to miners your transactions get confirmed and your coins are transfered fast.

As offensive we created MineCoin that allows only miners to earn coins through proof of work. MineCoin uses the good old Scrypt algorithm. The Scrypt algorithm has proven itself over many years and is one of the most friendly algorithms available.

This coin is all about having fun and earning coins with mining. Our goal is to be a commonly accepted currency with the advantage of a fast and secure network thanks to our miners.

In the beginning this coin will be tradable on Yobit exchange and will later be added to the major exchanges like Bittrex. Yobit needs about 2 days to add to coin, so please be a little patient. Meanwhile you can start mining and earn new MineCoins.

Please do not go mad and post all these negative messages. We are here to have fun and that is what this coin is all about. be friendly and polite to each other! We hope for some support of the community and to start off we have added some bounties.

only mine, no bounty? :)

what's the point to relaunch a crappy coin?

WEEDMAN420

how much premince coin ?
not open bounty campaign dev
signature campaign and social media campaign

whats new in relaunch dev?

is the block back to block 1 again

Goodluck midnight_miner! Good to see a takeover project again..

This was one of Keesdewit's coins right?

More bounties to come as the project develops.

NOTE: preference for services goes to members with a higher status than Newbie.

This coin did not get a fair launch.  It was abandoned about a month after launch in 2015.  I kept the blochchain going in the beginning of 2016 for a specific project.  I am only getting to the project now...

Stay tuned, I promise something different.  This is not a coin project, but a coin used in a project.

This one has a superior tech. I suspect its nowhere near the level all other alts are at. Lets see. I was wrong. No tech, blank OP.

The big thing I needed to do was get the fork in to change the PoW reward.  A long story that will be explained soon but not today.

The new wallet with a newer codebase is out to support the fork.  

The bounties will be coming when the project is ready.

I have no premine from this coin.  This coin has been traded on YObit for the last year and there are pools that have supported this coin.  The coins I hold are from mining with about 1 MHash Scrypt miners, so not a lot of power.  I have also bought XMINE from the YObit exchange.

The developer that originally launched this coin may still have the pre-mine from block one (84 000 XMINE) but I really don't know or care.

Restarting from Block 1 would defeat the purpose of blockchain technology.

I am taking an abandoned coin and using it in a new project.  There is nothing really new in this coin, yet.  I needed to get the new wallet with the fork to reduce the mining reward before the coin supply was reached.

Once a PoW coin reaches the max supply, the coin and its blockchain will stop from a lack of interest and mining reward (something that people are running models and simulations for Bitcoin for a while now).  The coin is a pure PoW and I want to keep it that way, while I develop a project to use the coin.

Thank you Banzai!

Yes it was a porject of Keesdewits'.  I think the popularity of his other coin forced him to concentrate on the other coin.

The blockchain is still active over a year later, so the project I have planned should be a good platform for this coin.

There is no superior technology to be found in this coin at the moment.  This is a simple Scrypt coin with a mature and clean blockchain.  The coin is going to be used as part of a software/service that has been in the planning and development stage since March 2016.  That is the part of the project with the technology and value-add.

Interesting wording.

I saw this coin in the previous time. Now it re-launchs again.
is there any plan for this stage? I'm waiting for this information .

1 Satoshi price.. can't get much lower than that  :D Price can only go up from here  ;)

Why i can't solo mining with this settings ??
and i mined some hours in this pool(http://pool.midnightminer.net) - finding block ok, but balance is 0

try on elf pool :) its working there. need 26 confirmations before you get to account.

Happy mining

The pool pays out every hour, I will check logs.

What is your pool fee?  I can't find it on your site.

Is your pool zero fees, donation only?
What about withdrawal fees?

That is the plan.  There was no price pump of other silly antics before the relaunch.  Anyone and everyone has the opportunity to get the coin very cheap.  I have no plans or intention to pump and dump the price, and I do keep an eye on the market.  So far, the YObit bots have not bothered with this coin.  We will see what happens when the coin becomes more active.

was just browsing through and happened upon this. I'm quite interested, coin total is decent, and it's basically at the lowest price a person could buy in at.

Hey
 
fee is 1% and you can find it at  https://xmine.elfpool.org/index.php?page=tac

withdrawal fees are now set to 0.1

Happy mining!

I will add to OP.

Thank you for the support.

Yes it can. Orderbook being purged of buy orders is much worse than 1 satoshi.

Thanks alot! I receive coins! :-)

Good!  Payouts was stuck.

I'll send you a few more XMINE in case some where lost.

Thanks, but today I saw another bug - at the same speed, missing payment for 1 hour (13), and the next hour came just funny award

Is there a mining profit calculator?

addnode=????

no profit.. 4.4Mhs ~ 100 coins per hour. 1 coin sell is 1 satosh.. bad coin

DNS seed in wallet and IP addresses. 

If you are stuck for nodes then go here:
http://xmine.midnightminer.net/network (http://xmine.midnightminer.net/network)

At current prices it is not very profitable... but after block 700k the rewards drop to 16 per block, so even less profit at current prices.

BUT... if the value of the coin goes up, you may make a profit....  That is how mining in crypto works, its either a gamble or an investment in the future, however you choose to look at it.

Payouts are up to date on my pool, but I am not the only pool.  So it is possible that blocks were awarded to other pools.

Well it's good to see another mining coin come out as miners also need something to chew on because of the many other POS coins that have been launched recently so am wishing everyone good luck here and happy mining!

happy new year. I got all I'm gonna get for this coin. Gonna sit on it and see what happens.

Please post your pool fees, withdrawal fees, etc.

I will to mining here, btw how much total coin supply of Minecoin ?
Thanks!

We have 1.5% minig fees for all the coins in our pool.
No whitdrawal fees btw. Payments auto are set every 10 min so you will recive payments every 10 min after any block mature.

Happy Mining :)

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE HARD FORK AT BLOCK 700K

A fix is in the works and will be posted as soon as the fix is tested.

Something slipped through my tests of the last release.

hi fee is 1% sorry for delay . happy mining :)

I see still problem with network.
Any plans to fix it?

Thanks

Guess its a NO?  ??? ???

Real life problems have taken up my attention....

Back on the issue.

}

What are you smoking? Good post  ::)

Yes, the Blockchain is currently stuck at block 700090.  There was a previous wallet release with a higher version than the current that messed up the hard fork transition.

All is not lost.  The chain will be reversed to 699999 and then a new block 700000 will be mined and a wallet with the checkpoint at 700000 with the valid chain will be released.

Wallet addresses that have mined and sent transactions in blocks 699000 - 699999 will receive XMINE from my personal wallet as compensation for the error.

I will keep you posted.  I have not abandoned the coin, things are just getting started.  I am only caught with some other issues occurring at the same time.

Your patience is greatly appreciated.

What are you going to do about all the blocks after 700000 that have been mined? Last I saw it was past 704000 blocks over a week ago when I mined for an hour or so.

I have been considering the options, and since I have to taking too long to respond to my mistake, I believe the longest chain should win.  Meaning my planned hard fork failed, but the miners that continued to mine should not loose there mining effort.  It is a mining coin after all!

So I will work out my issues that didn't work the wallet and adjust the hard fork to happen later on the existing blockchain.  This way miners will not lose their rewards and I can reduce the mining rewards at a later block with a better plan.

How does this sound?

Glad to see you are trying to keep it fair for everyone. Looking forward to seeing the fix up and running and getting back to mining.

What news? Where dev?

Not much news... Dev is here, just buried in real life issues.

Project is not dead, I have things that i must take care of.

I am not hiding or making excuses.  I am still around in this project for the long haul.

xmine need some move

*** STATUS UPDATE JAN 22, 2017 ***

The Seed nodes are synch'ing up with a newer version of the wallet.

Once the seed nodes are properly sync'd the new version of the wallet will be released.

Changes:

• The hard fork was removed from the code and will be re-evaluated later.
• Protocol version jump to eliminate the nodes with the broken Hard Fork.

I would like to see a couple of blocks successfully mined to test the new wallet version.

I will keep you posted.

OK! Blockchain is moving again.  The blockchain will continue, no rollback. and mining rewards will continue at 100 XMINE for now.  The next release I will change the halving interval to help reduce the coin supply.

I am working on a release to fix things.  If you have an older version of the wallet such as version 1.0.0, that wallet should still work and sync with the blockchain.

NEW WALLET RELEASE VERSION 0.10.5

I fixed up the issues with the blockchain and made another attempt at reducing the PoW rewards to keep the mining going longer without increasing the coin supply.

Any Bounty for MAC wallet

Anyone mining this coin? I've been mining for 19 hours and have only gotten one transaction, right after I first started and haven't seen anything since. BFG miner shows I'm getting shares and have found several blocks but as of yet haven't received anything.

Looks like blockchain stuck again on block 703,353. You might want to get the chain up and running properly without the hard fork before you try to alter the mining rewards, at this point you have pretty much lost any interest in this coin.

Blockchain is still rolling along....
See Block Explorer here:
http://xmine.midnightminer.net/

I will check logs on my mining pool.  PM me your XMINE address so I know which is yours.

Yes, send me a PM please of which version of MacOS you are compiling on.

All 4 executables: qt wallet, daemon, cli, and tx binaries.

NEW WALLET RELEASE VERSION 0.10.5

Please ensure you upgrade to the latest wallet.

This version ignores nodes running protocol version 70003.

Once you have upgraded you can see if your IP is listed in the Network list here:
http://xmine.midnightminer.net/network (http://xmine.midnightminer.net/network)

The explorer is running a modified wallet that will bridge older versions of the wallet to the new version.  This modified version will be switched out before block 720k.  So please update your wallet ASAP.

thank you for the update. Also, if you are interested and leave an xmine address for donations/tips I will send some your way.

Fine.
And additional nodes?

addnode is workin in my windows thankz

Please try to get listed in an exchange other than yobit. They currently have your wallet in maintenance mode and are known for never updating coins and getting them working again once they go in maintenance.

I agree.  The question is which exchange?  They either require 1000's of votes or pay BTC to get listed.

This coin does not have many active followers... yet.  The real goal is the project that will use this coin as the currency.  I would rather concentrate on the project, and when it is released, if successful the demand for the project will drive the adoption of XMINE.

In theory...

While I partially agree with what you are saying, as someone with 10+ years marketing experience I have to say that it is never too early to start getting interest in your product or project, regardless of what it is. You say that demand for the project will drive the coin, but I say that interest in the coin will be a bigger motivator towards the project.

Keep in mind that if the coin doesn't raise interest and continues the way it's headed that the project will fall flat because people will consider the coin attached to it as a dead coin. This is the most important thing to remember.... the project needs the coin, the coin does not need the project.

May be change the symbol XMINE to another?
This name here ... http://bitcoincloudmining.org/en/xmine/ (http://bitcoincloudmining.org/en/xmine/)

That xmine pool is gone.  They did not operate for very long.

The XMINE - MineCoin project was created a year before that pool existed.

Not too worried about that.

Now I know who it hit up for some marketing advise!  ;) ;) ;)

You do bring up some good points.

I put together a little mining pool together if anyone wants to give it a shot. Its up and working. Its needs work still but its online.

Dev! If you relaunch coin, you MUST provide one!

I must provide what?  I am missing something?

i mean support this coin.

So far dev has done a pretty decent job supporting this coin. He has fixed problems that stopped the coin dead in its tracks and has listened to advice from others. You can't ask for much more than that from a dev to be honest.

wallet not synced. add nodes please. what about future of coin?

Make sure you have most recent version of the wallet. Older wallets wont work properly.

*** STATUS UPDATE FEB 06, 2017 ***

I will be upgrading the Block Explorer wallet to the latest release (v 0.10.5) in the next couple of days.

The version I was running accepted older wallets that did not have the hard-fork at block 700K (protocol version 70002 & 70005).  However, after the update of the Block Explorer, those older versions will not sync with the blockchain.  Only protocol version 70005 will be recognized.  You will need to update to the latest version.

Your coins will not be lost, the wallet will not keep up to date with the blockchain, no peers found...

will yobit follow up with your update?

Yes

We passed block 720 000 and the PoW rewards are now reduced to 10 XMINE per block.

This was a successful hard-fork. Phew!

I have contacted YObit about the wallet still in maintenance.

Awaiting a response...

please new work addnode

Please confirm you are running the latest version of Minecoin 0.10.5

Older wallets are ignored due to hard fork at block 720 000.

Yes, it works well. I'm running this version and there is no issue until now. I will mine some coins with my miners and I expect the price will be higher than before.

As for the price, I would imagine we need to wait for Bitcoin price to settle down to a more stable state before we see more value pouring into altcoins like XMINE.  The trend at the moment seems to be to cash in on the Bitcoin rally.  Once that is stable, we will see the return of investments into developing coins.

Yobit once again has the wallet in maintenance mode. Anyone can request a fix from them by filling out the form at:

https://yobit.net/en/maintenance_request/

Just make sure you fill in all the requested information, all of which can be found quite easily by anyone. I already sent a request to have the wallet updated but it can't hurt if more people send one, and may get the wallet back up and working faster.

The disappointing part of this is that other coins have sent in BTC for priority service and still waiting weeks or even months for the wallet to be back online.  So I won't be spending BTC for priority.  However, I DO tip the support when they do fix things!

I am still deep in other projects, but the XMINE project will continue development during the coming months.  It just a matter of how much I can free up my time.

The website could use some help if anyone is interested in contributing some time to this.  The website is there, just need people to contribute some content and graphics if your interested.

Yobit does as it likes doesn't listen to you mate, deal with it we all know it how they treat users

not be worried at any perturbing phenomena but keep it up with your struggle.

XMINE is still under active development.

We are monitoring all that is occurring in the world of Crypto.  The fun part is not staying up to date, but seperating the hype or BS from what is really moving forward with action, effort, and investment of time and money.

wallet not synced

Node count is low.  I will need to start a campaign or start giving away some coins to attract attention.

Any ideas are welcome.

do you have some little hope about this coin? If you have, you must ReRelaunch campaign :-)

DEV! Where are you?? Create a nodes!

I have 3 nodes running.

68.71.58.226
68.71.58.229

and a dynamic IP node.

NEWS?

It has no  news from Dev . Perhaps he abandoned this project . it's not worth investing now.

Dev is still here.  Just follow my posts.  You will see I am active in many projects.

XMINE project is still moving forward, it is just low key for now, as I don't believe in creating hype just to pump a coin.

More information on the 'Project' will be coming in a few months (probably in the fall).

First order of business will be to get listing on more exchanges.

I will post a road map and a time schedule before the end of the month of June.

Due to many 51% Attack on pure PoW coins, I am looking into options for the future updates to this coin.

The theme of the coin is Mining, and I would like to keep it PoW only, however, I may consider adding Masternodes or similar technology to avoid possible 51% Attacks or other types of attacks in the future.

Your comments please.

Would be up for masternodes but would really like for the coin to come out of maintenance on yobit.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

Please check your wallet and http://xmine.midnightminer.net that you are on the the proper blockchain.

I will be adding MineCoin to other exchanges in the coming months and working on an update to the wallet.

As of this post we are at block: 1034069 - Sun, 17 Sep 2017 21:37:11 GMT

 ;D

Exchanges? yobit not working >:(

Exchanges?

what news ???

YObit has wallet out of maintenance mode.

However, their wallet does not match the block counts of the official block explorer:
http://xmine.midnightminer.net/

I have submitted a support ticket to hopefully resolve the issue.

I recommend holding off on depositing or withdrawing any XMINE until the issue is resolved.

- Midnight Miner

Yobit wallet is in maintenance again. Sad to see this coin not progressing. You might want to consider handing it over to someone who has more time to devote to it. I would enjoy a chance to helm this project if you decide to move on.

The biggest issue I have seen here is that there isn't enough time spent on keeping up with it and keeping things moving forward.
