Remember this is all temporary. The minute people will think mintcoin is not worth it anymore, they will sell. So, we have to make it stand long. Contact even more merchant talk about the mintcoin fund (I will contact tokyopotato soon), make it vibrant, make it matters.
Satoshi prices is nothing - look at Blackcoin, how they are crumbling. If you only care about money without a vision behind it, it will eventually fall down. Remember what the dev said: mint is for sustainable development. PoS is already sustainable development compared to bitcoin's horrific carbon footprint (bitcarbon.org) but there is still so much to be done.
If you want your investment to be worth it, contact sustainable development projects, see if they can get a matching contribution from our donation. Also, create website, contact more merchants, create an ecosystem.
The future of mintcoin is in project and merchants. Get rich, get projects, articles and merchants!

Remember to donate to the Mintcoin Fund By the way, we are considering something Paypal-like for ensuring an address belongs to a person (i.e.: giving a small amount of mint to a donator address and ask the person to give us the amount of "mitoshi" he received) |

There is already 137k mint in the donation. Wow!
These mints will be left untouched until the Mintcoin Fund is officially registered or we find a way to secure the relationship between an address and a person, whichever comes last.
An option is take the PayPal route for veryfying credit card: send a small amount of mint and ask the owner to give the exact amount.

Alright, there was a pump and some of you took advantage of it. This is a great thing, it really is for securing your money, but remember: we are in for the long term. The Mintcoin Fund had nothing to do with the pump, it is a long-standing concept. The Fund is already securing projects
The pump gave some exposure to mint. This exposure should be used for further increasing the movement toward the Fund. Crypto are not just a way to make quick cash, they also are a way to drive projects that actually matter on a global scale. Project that are visible and thus will get the money appreciated - more money to you.
There is the short term and there is the long term. Short term is done (for the moment) now let's move on to long term.

Perhaps we can set up a simple posting board on the website where people can post how much they donate, the sending address, and the transaction ID- the donation can be confirmed and can then be assigned to the person's name or pseudonym and then they can express how they want their portion of the money used? Three alternatives: Short term, posts: someone collects a list and publish on the thread, like you did for holders Medium term, thread: a dedicated thread on mintcointalk.com (and post it back here could help, especially if each post back come with the link to the tread) Long term, website: the website for the Fund will have something like this, if someone volunteers to do it. |

Hi,
The Mintcoin Fund is progressing.
We have several Board Members, from all over the (Western) world. When I say we have Board Members, I mean they already fullfilled all the legal obligations to be Board Members. They are not "count me in" members.
The money from the premine is on its way to a dedicated address.
Another address is available for donation (only for the Mintcoin Trust): MjAQAmm6WEX2fx7xgBunZt4RpzwhqHtD4r.
Why donate?
1) to show support for sustainable development project
2) to actually help said projects
3) to increase the visibility of mintcoin, which will in turn raise the value of it - which translates into more money for you, since your mintcoin will be worth more.
The website will come soon. Donators will have a way to express where they want their money directed as soon as we figured out a way to related donations and donators.

Get ready for MINT to be brought back to life ;-) I don't usually post here, but exceptional circumstances call for exceptional actions. "Fasten your seatbelt Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye." |

I'll start on it right away. I'll make sure the escrow won't pay out until the video is released.
If there's a reliable dutch escrow that want's to do this and film himself to vouch for the authenticity of the movie that's cool with me to. The Intcoin Fund will feature an official escrow (but mint only, not fiat). It is not decided yet if it will be 0% fee of all/most fees going to the Fund. BTW, if you have any idea regarding this, make sure to say! |

I think he got a little carried away with the idea without really thinking it out carefully. Ther is a bit of that. My way of working is: when I see great people, I try to make them work together, because 1+1=3. Unfortunately, there are times when it cannot work. I truly believe than BC's massive firepower and mintcoin's ideal could mix well, I sincerely did. Anyway, we are working on the mintcoin manifesto atm. I won't be available tomorrow evening. |

David, I've already said my says, gotten over my initial disappointment, and am trying to work through your points logically. I am stuck on this word communautarist. The best I can find online in english is separatist. So is you statement saying that the blackcoin community want to isolate themselves? Or be a community and be more social? I don't know which - I haven't explored anything about blackcoin at all to date.
Thanks! Well, I've got over my initial disappointment but not toward you (or the mintoin community). Look my previous post, I guess you'll understand against whom it is targeted. Back to linguistics. I'm afraid I used a French word without much thought about what it could mean in English. "Communautarisme" in French is a pejorative word for people who don't want to mix with other, to the point of xenophobia, disdain or outright violence (including verbal violence). It seems the correct word in English is communitarianism. What I meant is that I find their "you are either with us or against us" despicable. It is called black for a reason. The colour of the heart, and of pirate flag. I am certainly overdoing it here. But not that much. |

Mercenaries. No deontology. I believe they are building up a reputation of ruthless parasites. That may backlash very fast. As a reminder, humanity started to live longer once it decided to take care of old people (this was paleolithic, so old meant 30 years old). There is moral in this. Ruthlessness has a cost. Killing Noble will give a bad reputation.

Isn't blackcoin against NobleCoin, and Mintcoin, and basically every other coin it perceives as competition (all coins)? This is the feeling I have gotten from spending time on all of these forums. I like the idea of working with other coins, and I have been trying to quell some of the hostility between mintcoin and blackcoin myself. But, the blackcoin community hasn't expressed any desire to work with any other coin- quite the opposite they are always talking about destroying all the coins in their path, and how much better they are than every other coin. And they've also never expressed any desire to take an environmental or humanitarian position. I did not notice any "me against all" attitude before 30 minutes ago (I read the noblecoin quote too by this time). But the way they are acting so childishly (really, I have no other word; I know it only account for a part of them of course) makes me sick. I am an active proponent of cryptocurrencies. Yesterday I was giving a conference to major bank regarding the importance of bitcoin and I also talked about mintcoin. I learnt a long time ago that wealth come from diversity - I used to have NXT too, but I sold them because I needed some cash to pay back my early misfortunes. I am used to talk with really smart people, full of world-changing ideas. I am a bit like Baudelaire's albatross when I see this kind of attitude. I am shocked and... well, sad. Sad for them. but the myCoin vs yourCoin attitude comes from the devteams and the users should not get carried away. Finally a wise sentence! I will go to bed smiling. Merci ! Posting such "Rhetorical" things in such an open and widely viewed forum causes a lot of FUD to a lot of people, and may not be a good idea. Think about the fact that I, as well as others have sent people here to this forum to help them better understand exactly what Mintcoin is about, and what Mintcoin is doing. Then they see that post, and their impression of Mintcoin is not going to be a good one. Alright, so that must be me. What I really meant is: what matter is not the currency, it is what we are doing with it. I will update my initial post. As far as having other coins involved with the Mint Fund, I'm not to keen on that idea. I think the best way to handle something like that, is once the Fund is up and running, and projects are announced, then, and only then we can contact other coins and offer them the ability to donate to the fund for said project, and give them widespread acknowledgement of their involvement as well. This will keep Mintcoin on the same road it started out on, and as things move forward other coins will see that Mintcoin is not just another flavor of the week, and their communities will almost certainly want to get involved with OUR Fund, as long as they get the recognition they would deserve for contributing. Yes, that was my idea, but I just gave the whole speech to early. First create, then consolidate, finally extend. I'm psychologically exhausted. Good night. And thank you. |

deadmanwalking,
I was very disappointed by the attitude of the blackcoin forumers. Nothing exists beyond their dear coin. Now I understand better communautarism. And this is fortunate I make the experience now and not ten years before when I was not psychologically prepared to such a petty mentality.
I also note that you neither understand rhetoric. Or maybe that was just me being not clear enough. When I say something like "I don't care about mintcoin", I thought everyone understood this is a rhetorical formula! Is is that difficult to understand?
Rhetorics 101: to arrange words and sentence in such a way that it will make an impact on the listener/reader, who will better remember the message (the message here being: "Strenght in Unity").
I've not been paid out to do a job. I volunteered to do a job and then I got a reward after that. This was a gift, not a payment, I never asked for anything and there was not bounty attached to it. I do this because I like it, not because I am being paid (plus, the reward was the equivalent of 30 euros. I do this in less than one day so if I was doing this for money, I would have left long ago - no, I would not even have accepted).
Now if you excuse me, I have a foundation to set up. And since blackcoin has such a communautarist mentality, that will be a mintcoin foundation. The good news is that I won't have to change the bylaws.

some of them are funny to read the same day, just look at David's post almost every time there is a fall he sells and loses more coins. You're right on this one. Everytime I sell for "buying back after the storm" the storm just stop. And we I go back, since the price is higher, I lost coins. So now, I don't sell, I just daytrade, I just keep ^^ |

David Latapie: "I don't care about Mintcoin. I don't care about Blackcoin, DogeCoin or whateverCoin. I don't care about any particular coin (save for getting rich quick) and I believe you should not either." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450381.msg5920302#msg5920302David Latapie - You need understand there is something in POS system like BC have that you need care about coin about community. Can't recognize a rhetoric formula when you see one? |
