anyone got a guide for putting a Mint node together on a Raspberry Pi? looking to dish out to friends and family
Are you not worried about giving full nodes to friends and family who may not understand basic computer security? I'm guessing the idea is that they would have funds on the portable devices. There's plenty of options for inputs and outputs on these devices. How do you secure the user? This is more of a crypto problem then a mint problem but should be addressed as we want minters to feel secure and confident in their market and personal management of their mints. Finally, shouldn't a mint scented spray be added to every node for ambiance? STAY FRESH.  anyone got a guide for putting a Mint node together on a Raspberry Pi? looking to dish out to friends and family
You mean like a mobile phone wallet? Mini monitor, battery solar operated, etc. etc. Mmmmmmmmm. #MintFuture |

The only thing I can think of is our block explorer. I see block explorer(S)...  Cryptopia ProHashing CoinPayments Cryptoguru.tk |

hi, i have update the wallet from previous version to the 2.0.2 but now i can't connect with network.
Anyone cand write me a working config from .conf file please?
Thanks
Have you tried running your wallet for the day and just forgetting about it? Depending on how much of the blockchain you already have downloaded, sometimes the wallet appears to be frozen or not connecting to peers. I've found that the wallet usually resolves itself, finds connections, and downloads the blockchain if you give it some time. If this does not work then a restart of the wallet can sometimes help. |

buying coins to mint will be less effective and thus will be in less demand.
Everyone has their own opinion.  I actually have been working on some code to take care of this.
Nice to see presstab in the mint thread again.  From my understanding, the current minting is 5%, right ?
Current is 10%. Moving to 5% next halving. |

How do we get the block explorer turned on again?
Is there another block explorer service we could get?
Current explorers are listed at mintymintcoin.com, mintcoinofficial.com, and in op. If you referring to chainz.cryptoid.info then they can be contacted via bitcointalk according to their FAQ which covers, "what is required to host an Explorer here?" https://chainz.cryptoid.info/faq.dws |

I'm not sure I was using any sarcasm. I am saying that updates have been coming directly from the devs in the form of actual software with release notes, official bootstrap, etc. The devs have been quite clear that they are moving towards a 2.1 release and activity shows that on Git. Everyone working on mintcoin is a volunteer with other jobs and projects. I would prefer the devs focus on coding and doing the work that only their expertise can provide rather then PR, CS, and general admin work. Perhaps I can help you? Is there specific info your looking for? It's quite clear that there has been plenty of communication and software releases within the last 6 months. But yes...we all miss cryptomommy. SIGH. Maybe you can help provide some of the updates that she can no longer do? What type of info is needed in your opinion? Are you interested in helping with mint? Have you seen the history thread? Just trying to help kind sir. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355523.msg13798259#msg13798259ah, thanks for the link, its quite awesome! I was looking for something along the link i posted ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727023.msg14460950#msg14460950) which updates on progress even if there is no release. Not everyone is familiar with github and how to understand the activity going on there. It is a whole new jargon/language to learn. Probably the problem is that this is a very generic/large refresh of the code and there is no specific thing to let people know about. It will come out and everyone will feel the difference in performance but not so much in UI. To provide updates one needs to at least read the dev disscussions, i do that with DCR & BTC core(i mean read dev chats, not the updates ) but i have only so much time. All big coins have some kind of updates that let people know what devs are thinking & discussing. If someone can do that it would be amazing. This post from you was 12 days ago. I'm not sure what types of updates you expect in just under a 2 week time frame. We don't have funding from an ITO or something similar which could allow for full time employees. Bugs are being fixed for the next release and another improved wallet will be pushed out once it's stable and ready. The devs work independently on Git and merge into the main account when it's time for release. [EDIT] I will speak with devs about documentation of Git activity within the history thread. Keep in mind that today is a holiday. |

lets face it this coin died a while ago and it's not coming back. To bad i always had high hopes for mint  Dead? Interesting. I'm not sure your following too closely. |

bootstrap doesn't help at all, it's the same speed from disk as from network
Just to clarify, this is not a true statement although I understand why you may feel this way. |

oooph,
folks, mint wallet sync speed is among the lowest i've ever seen, worse than hbn.
so large thread, so much work, and yet so slow sync, i don't get this.
well to be honest i know a little slower sync, it's lftc, but ... ridiculous to compare.
maybe i don't know some trick to speed it up huh ?
thx for any advice
P.S. i mean speed, blocks per min (not total time to sync, bootstraps and such)
If your worried about slow sync speed you should use the bootstrap to speed things up a bit. Overall sync times should be improved somewhat with the 2.1 release but we have not set any specific dates for that release. Your mint wallet should come online about once a month to download the blockchain and ease overall download maintenance times but is not required. Mint has 30 second block times so I'm not sure I understand your additional comments about speeding it up in comparison to other wallets. |

Hey devs, how is the progress on the wallet? Its almost 6 months i think since you started the codebase update. It would be cool if you can give us a report every few weeks. We know you are working hard but if we can see what is being done even if its a bit technical then it would give us some indication how things are going & how far are we from the big release. Thanks for all your work EDIT: Something like this will inspire some confidence. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=727023.msg14460950#msg14460950Keep in mind that there have been actual working wallet releases since work was started on the 2.1 codebase. These releases added new features which are fully documented by the devs and push towards the 2.1 release. You can see an example of this for wallet version 2.0.2 released on 3/2, about a month ago. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450381.msg14070605#msg14070605After the 2.0.2 release, an official bootstrap was released on 3/12 and updated on 4/5. See the history thread... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355523.msg13798259#msg13798259Additionally, you can see the devs work on Git with their individual accounts that merge into the main account. Fuzzbawls release notes for 2.0.2 gives you specific documentation of code changes with direct individual links on Git for each change. Would additional updates be cool? Totally. Should those additional updates come at the expense of writing actual code? I'm not suggesting your point is invalid. I'm just asking you to consider the other side of the coin. Distracting the devs with requests for updates could be counter productive. I would personally love to offer more updates in relation to coding the 2.1 wallet but general bug fixes and code modernization isn't always that exciting or easily consumable. If it was then wouldn't you have your eyes glued to Git like your favorite T.V. show? [EDIT] Actually, a 24/7 reality show about development of a coin WOULD be pretty amazing. 24 hour market with a 24 hour show to match.  Thanks for replying. You don't need to defend & use sarcasm  I understand that devs are busy & i believe them completely but it would be much better if progress is visible to wider community and hodlers of the coin. I am sure a bi-weekly report is possible if that gives everyone a sense of direction and movement. Updates are not a time waste IMO but are rather important for how a coin is perceived. Development has to be balanced with communication. Makes sense? PS: 1 update in 6 months is a bit unbalanced i think. Maybe i got too used to amazing updates by CryptoMommy I'm not sure I was using any sarcasm.

I think exchanges need to make their security such that even someone within the company cannot access your funds. Time and time again it proves third parties cannot.be trusted if anyone has access to coins other than the owner, eventually coins get swiped.
[1] just an FYI ... UNO community has always kept an eye on exchange held coins ... and we knew which wallet was the Cryptsy wallet ... long story short ... someone sent all those coins to bittrex to be sold ... and because bittrex was informed by team UNO that this happened (and there is a legal court order to not move the funds) ... it looks like the UNO is now in safe hands ... cool story no? Sad to say it looks like BigVern is dumping all coins in his control and unless you can track and trace him. [2] https://chainz.cryptoid.inforise up and fund the BE ... you are not a legitimate $1M coin club without a fairglu blockchain What type of data is being retained by the UNO community in relation to exchanges? Is the compiled info made public or only held by specific users? Can you point to the legal court order? Thanks. |

Heads up mint community!
You may know about the recent issues at cryptsy but it looks as though Paul is actively liquidating and dumping MINTcoin on poloniex. If you care about this coin, you may want to contact them and ask them to look into it.
Evidence that shows this? |

Bter withdrawal issues appear to be fixed.

Another one shutting down? Sheez. I wonder how many coins have been lost through all these exchanges, it's crazy.
Honestly I'm not sure ANY user's coins were lost between btcpool.exchange, ShapeShift, and CoinWallet.co. Is crypto growing up?  |

btcpool.exchange is closing. Remove your coins from the site by May 1st. New platform coming? Message from their in site chat:
Hi Everyone , Me and Paul have come to the decision to shut the exchange down in its present form , everytime something is fixed something else seems to break , we really dont want to do this but we feel we have no other option at the moment , we are looking at another more stable platform but we dont want to waste ayones time as it is atm , so can everyone please remove all coins they have by the end of the month , after the 1st of May it will be no longer possible , dont get us wrong we believe we have something to offer to the crypto scene and are not walking away by no means , but we need to concertrate on a new platform , not continually patching this one , we thank you all for your support and hope that when we launch the new platform we see you all then , If you have any problems with the withdrawal of coins , send a ticket thru the support system with all info , username ,coin,wallet address you want the coins sent to , email that was used for registration and so on so we can get your coins to you !!
