Hi guys. I need some help if you don't mind.
1. I just followed Linux 64bit binaries to download the wallet. Why binaries if it's open source, Is this legit? Binaries are a convenience for people who cannot or do not want to compile - most people, especially out of the Linux world. 2. I'm running chakra (arch based / kde) no will to change to something else. So hopefully it'll work. I see I have 4 files: bitmonerod, connectivity_tool, simpleminer, simplewallet. What do I start? Is it enough to just execute:
./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin
?? Several monero holders are running Arch-based Linux and happy with it, considering Ubuntu is slower. ./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin will only generate a wallet and give you an address. If you want to transfer money in and out, you must also run the daemon (bitmonerod). If you want to mine, various options are available here: http://monero.cc/getting-started/3. Once I generate new wallet what do I need / do to backup it ?
Thanks. ALWAYS back up  For the rest, see above. And welcome to Monero! |

Hello, I'm glad to finally be a part of the beginnings of Monero. I see huge potential, and can't wait for it to be fully unleashed! Mintpal voting here I come: https://www.mintpal.com/voting#XMR151 votes, we are almost in the middle of the list now. is this bs really neccessary? - I mean seriously how do all these sh..coins get so many votes? maybe monero should wait until mintpal adds them by themselves I also think it is not neccessary to get this in the title Three people asked "Vote on Mintpal" to be removed from the title and zero asked for keeping it. It wiill be removed. |

Btw i don't like the part "Vote on Mintpal" of new title, it sounds like a random pump and dump coin. I love the old title "A anonymous currency based on ring signatures" - it look more professional and unique. That may be changed if enough of you want it out. Who wants it out? Who wants to keep it? |

At the moment I am a freelance developer with experience coding for peercoin clones. I would be interested in helping revive the community and wallet here, but what exactly is everyone hoping to have done? From an outsiders perspective it looks like a hard fork might be needed to slow inflation... but not sure what the actual stake holders think. What other work would need to be done to the wallet?
If I were to help with a few wallet related things, I would have to have absolute integrity from mintcoin. I just exited a coin because of shady operations in the background that I was not comfortable with and did not want my name attached to. I would hope that mintcoin has a high level of integrity.
I can personally vouch for Presstab as a reliable dev. Thank you for your proposal I should refrain from commenting further and let others react. |

I noticed that http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/27gxu5/mintcoin_coup_d%A9tat/ have been deleted. I don't know who did this, but I know it is not cryptomommy. So someone is abusing moderator role. I find it unexcusable, whoever this person is. This remind us why it matters so much that the Mintcoin thread is not self-moderated. Independantly on my own opinion on the Coup d'État, it, I value freedom of speech enough to be upset by this. So, if anyone has a copy of it, please PM and I will paste it here. I did, and I demodded two of the moderators that helped this to come back! I know it's not that democratic but I'm extremely busy at the moment and couldn't handle the flow of comments it will generate/actions that could ensue from that. I apologize for that, but what the hell would you expect when you post something like this? Moreover, she posted wrong information (resulting from a misunderstanding of what I wrote, but still) and a private conversation. Anyway, this is working against us. I'm totally grateful towards Cryptomommy for all the work she accomplished so far, but we spent more time than anyone else on this coin. We are more legitimate than anyone else to decide what we're doing with it. No mintcointeam. No. Being busy is not an excuse. You apparently have enough time to resort to these tactics. You could have just let it go if you are so "busy". You know perfectly well that deleting posts will only generate more comments. As for "wrong information", you could have just replied to them, like a responsable person (or group of persons) does. On monero, this is what we do: short, precise answers. Does not take much time and people can just extrapolate on that. And guess what? They like it, it shows that we focus on what really matters. I don't buy the "extremely busy". You "extremely don't give a fuck" and being busy is an excuse. Several times I asked about the premine. Only after around 5 repeated questions I got an (very incomplete) answer and only because I threatened to reveal some things about you. (by the way, readers, do you want me to tell the truth about the premine? - no, it is not what you think, whatever you may think ) Mintcoin Fund is on its way (I was supposed to send the corrected documents today but the post office is closed today, because of Pentecost - bummer). But I won't fund it without a reliable development team. I use "development team" on purpose. I'm sick and tired of the "anonymity" and "being busy" excuses. I work daily and in a much more intensive way with people who are are dead serious on anonymity (and impressively good at it) and they don't let it be an excuse for doing nothing. And they are very busy too and still they do an awesome amount of work. If the Mintcoin Fund is not funded, I will send you back the 5 millions MINT you sent me for this. Because I did not use a single one of them yet (I should pay back myself for the register letter and the stamps, though). Because I am transparent and people know it - what are the addresses of the premine? . I don't hide behind "I am busy". If I say something, I deliver. If I cannot anymore, see rule #5 of FOSS (below) I've been among your greatest supporters. Several times these months, I did not say everything I knew because I thought it would be detrimental to the coin. Now I think YOU are detrimental to the coin. Look at karmacoin, grumpycoin, asiacoin, saturncoin, bottlecaps... A coin with a great community can make it. Let me remind you rule #5 of open source software: "When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor." There is nothing shameful about not having time to work on a coin. But there IS something shameful about refusing to let it go and take a whole community as a hostage. Especially with the tactics you are using. I'll tell you something: I met someone using these kinds of tactics before. He was my former boss. I quit and I funded a company doing the exact same thing as him but in a fair way. Guess what: most of the teammates left with me and we attracted more and more people who could just not stand these tactics anymore. Granted, it took time and we endured pain, but now we are signing international contracts and extending every year. We are a real team, helping each other, communicating a lot on a daily basis and this, for years. Him? Well he keeps deleting posts on his forum. I am calling everyone who want Mintcoin to be something to act now. Stop being sheeps, waiting for something to happen, waiting for "the dev" to do something. Are you children or are you grown-ups? Do you need someone to change your diapers? Send Mintcoins to the Sonoma project, contact your dev friends about the wallet, propose crowdfunding, communication. Lend some legal expertise on NGO... Stop whining or looking at the chart. Look at Freicoin, do they complain do they look daily at the price? Success is not given, it is deserved. And you, dev, legitimacy is not given, it is deserved. But I don't expect you to answer. You are probably "extremely busy". |

To Monero devs and enthusiasts.Do you think there is a reputable and trustworthy individual among you who would be interested to set up an exchange buro of Moneros on the NXT Asset Exchange? I noticed, not many centralized exchanges are willing to create XMR/BTC trading pairs, due to Monero differences in software from Bitcoin forks. NXT AE allows someone to operate as an exchange buro and profit from setting the price of an asset and charge redemption commissions. Here is how it works briefly. Suppose, some NXTers would like to purchase Moneros on the NXT AE. Someone trustworthy in the Monero community can create a Monero asset on the NXT AE, tradeable for NXTs. Hence, a XMR/NXT exchange rate will be discovered. According to the Poloniex last trade it should be in the range of 21-22 NXTs per 1 Monero at this time, and then the free market will decide the rate. This trustworthy individual will have to redeem the Monero tokens when people on the NXT AE transfer him the asset units they purchased from him, and he will have to send them real Moneros in exchange. He can charge them a 0.5% or so redemption fee, and can set the minimum redemption amount, say, 10 Moneros, and timeframe to process the withdrawal, say, 24 hours time frame. This step will benefit both communites, as it will help establish a XMR/NXT exchange rate, put Monero on yet another exchange, which I noticed there are not that many of, and create more demand for Monero. The NXT Asset Exchange is decentralized, so Monero can pioneer being the first currency to trade on it. Actually, some Qora users are also interested to set up their exchange buro on the NXT AE as well, the NXT AE can welcome all  Since I really like NXT, this catches my attention. I will consider it. |

go to freenode #monero-otc got a link? someone else sells like 400 Monero? This is IRC (internet chatting protocol), so you need an IRC client, like Hexchat ( http://hexchat.github.io/) |

Exactly what I needed, thanks! Unfortunately, when I go there, I see 5 minute accepted speed MH/s 0.0000 So there is definitely something wrong with my setup. Any idea where to start? The Gridseed is powered on and running (the noisy fan reminds me this all the time and dmesg (Arch Linux) gives me (among other things) [423742.270205] cdc_acm 3-1.6:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device Thanks. |

Hi, I just pointed my Gridseed at nicehash. How can I know this is working?I am using this command line: sudo ~/cpuminer-gridseed/cpuminer-master/minerd -F 850 -G /dev/ttyACM0 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333 -u <address> -p x I registered an account just in case but I cannot see any paiment to me. Since I have only one gridseed, I will need time just to get my first paiment... or to know that something is going wrong. If that helps, my output: [2014-06-07 13:22:07] Stratum detected new block

Please bear in mind I am new to mining. Thank you for your answers. |

Just to clarify for everyone, we got:
- One dev with the premine, founder of mintcoin.
- David Latapie, volunteer and registrant of the mintcoin fund NGO.
- The mintcoin fund with a Board made up of between 3 and 9 members
- Moderators of mintcoin on social media like facebook, reddit and so on.
- And a few regular mintcoin enthusiasts, like me, writing posts, occasionally donating and making suggestions.
Is that right? Almost. There is not one dev, there are several. But only one answer, the other just read but never answer (well, almost never) Who operates the mintcoin team account on this forum, the dev? Yes, the dev sHow will the NGO operate? See bylaws but basically like any NGO: members and board, working groups for various task, fundraising on one hand, sponsoring on another hand. The idea of an endowment fund is that the endowment generates interests and these interest can be used for action - but not the endowment itself - much like the way mintcoin itself works Will the fund convert donations to fiat and send it to redwood reforestation as a donation and be done with it? It's great to have a fund doing good but it's prime goal is to help AND create awareness. So it would be great if we can have someone out there holding a check with a big mintcoin logo on it and the photo will show up in the local news and on the internet. We will encourage using services paid in mintcoins but let's get real. Still, there are some cases where it is immediatly advantageous to use mintcoin, like when receving fiat donation and transfering it to another part of the globe. Even if the amount of money stays, it creates volume and reduces transnational fees. Overall I feel mintcoin should grow up and feel a bit more professional, part of the pre-mine could be used for this end and marketing. There is much to be done before we are worthy of a big time investor. Ideally, the premine should be the endowent For legal reason, a part of it should be in fiat, but the buld of the premine should be the endowment. It would another premiere: premine as an endowment, with the standard of transparency that comes with a legally registered NGO, lightyears away of Cryptoland standards of transparency. Best of both world: on the human side, NG incentive for transparency; on the technological side, blockchain technlogy to enforce said transparency BTW. there's a bug in mintcoin wallet 1.9.1:
- I've got the wallet encrypted and locked.
- Going to the send screen, entering a valid address and amount
- then clicking Send does not show the unlock wallet where you can enter a passphrase, nothing happens.
- I first have to click unlock wallet button and only then I can send coins.
short: The "Unlock wallet" window should appear when clicking send and the wallet is locked. I don't code, I can't help. The wallet shall be completely revamped, it is terribly unoptimised. Look at zetacoin's wallet for a faaaaast wallet. Why Mintcoin's wallet is so dull is beyond my understanding (no, this is not because of PoS; I have other PoS wallet and they work fine). |

I received some PM which require a public answer, because I believe a lot of people are mistaken:
I am NOT a mintcoin dev. I am the founder of the first extended team (and probably the sole survivor, by the way). I have no access to the premine, since I am not a dev. I can only bring good will, 0% escrow services and some initiative like the Mintcoin Fund.
As you may imagine, it is not fun at all to be accused for something you are not guilty of. So please, next time someone mistakenly accuses me of "holding premine" or other things like that, please point him that I am not a dev, just an enthusiastic holder.
Thank you.
