Hi,

any idea why latest wallet cannot connect? All other wallets are connecting fine just the mintcoin one is at 0 active conections Sad

Thanks and Happy new Year Guys

You shouldn't be experiencing any issues.  What version of the client are you running?  How long have you left the wallet open?

The Mint Lotus Alpha promotion is now over.  Thanks everyone for playing along in this grand alpha experiment.

54 Mint Lotus cards were printed.  39 cards were burned.  15 Mint Lotus cards are now in existence.

Additional proof of burn videos will be posted in the days to come.

Card #2 will have a whole new design and theme.  It will likely be sold outright at a much lower cost.  I hope to make hologram improvements which will further benefit card security.  Burn videos/media could happen with card #2 but will be more random, without a particular pre-defined schedule.  I expect an announcement sometime this month.  Release could be this month but is more realistic in Feb.  Some mint contributors will still receive complimentary cards.

There is STILL a chance to get one of the 15 Mint Lotus Alpha cards.  You can see the card listed at #52 is being held for a future giveaway.   SO minty and rare.  Cool

GO GREEN 2017.

Out of curiosity, I just don't get, why are you burning the cards?
It seems to me burning the cards makes as much sense as sending a bunch of MINT to a wallet and then burning it so the coins are lost forever.
I mean you can do whatever you want with your own property, but if it is rational to destroy some of the cards you worked/labored to create, wouldn't it also be rational to destroy some of the MINT you worked/labored to create?
If it is not rational, why are you doing it?
If it is rational, then why don't you destroy some MINT too and send some coins to the card you are burning up, and by destroying the MINT, make MINT rarer too???

Users may be familiar with general coin burn and why such a thing would be done in various scenarios.  Why not play with supply and demand concepts in a unique and verifiable manner?  Fun burn vids serve as marketing and promotion and adjust the initial supply for true Lotus rarity.  Have you ever seen minty green fire?  It is magical.   Cool

I suppose burning actual mintcoins could be done as well if that excites you.

But consider this...

John Doe receives a Mint Card.  He can verify that only #XX exist and see that half of the initial cards were burned.  This allows John and everyone around him to understand the true rarity of his collectable.  
On the other hand, John Doe burns a bitcoin.  He starts a website on why his remaining bitcoins are worth more based on this burn and shows this website to someone whom he then tries to sell the remaining coins to.  Does this make the coins more valuable to the buyer or the marketplace in a real world scenario?  Unlikely.  21 Million vs. 54.

54 29 Mint Lotus Alpha Cards currently exist.  15 are still available as of Dec. 29th.  NONE will be available after Dec. 31st.

Want to pickup a Mint Lotus with mint, btc, or another currency?  Shoot me a PM.

At the current rate of burn I loosely expect about 15-25 Mint Lotus cards to exist in total.  Burn rate will increase leading up to Jan. 1st.

Development on an all new card #2 continues.  I hope to have more info on the second release in Jan.

STAY MINTY!

Do you enjoy brutality and destruction directed at actual Mint Cards?  Join me today on Periscope at 12 pm EST.   Cheesy

The purpose of this video is to document the BURN or absolute destruction of Mint Lotus Alpha cards so existing cards become more rare.

Wow. A Mintcoin collectable trading card, that doubles for a wallet? That's really neat. I'll be looking forward to the unboxing demo. Are you planning to make other Mintcoin related cards? What is your plan and vision for developing the gameplay?

Also, do you have a backstory behind this specific card? Why Mint Lotus instead of something else? Maybe if you develop a unique backstory for each card would make it more intreaging for people. Like include in the unboxing a nice leaflet that explains the backstory or something.

Why only exactly 54 cards, and why do you say some will be destroyed? Sorry if I have too many questions just curious to find out more!  Roll Eyes

I do have other cards currently in development with plans for release.  Currently I plan to continue making limited test mint cards available with intention to develop the first playable mint deck.  I'm thinking the Mint Lotus already has a long back story built in which is already integrated into the bitcoin and gamer communities.  I'm guessing that many will see where the inspiration came from.  I used to play collectible card games like many others, I've used MTGOX unfortunately, the bottom of the card pays respects to the late Christopher Rush (maybe better pics tomorrow).  Smiley

The lotus card is considered a pretty epic and rare card.  Initial number of Mint Lotus cards printed is somewhat random and is based on perceived short term demand with consideration for rarity and epicness.  Why destroy cards?  Alpha card will have manufacturing issues and those cards can be destroyed.  Additionally, who wants anything less then a very rare lotus???  I want users to understand the scarcity and see the documentation of destroyed cards.  I hope to keep these destruction videos fairly entertaining as time permits.  Grin

I can tell you that the second card has a very specific mintcoin history theme.

Thanks for your questions and suggestions!

I'm considering your leaflet idea or something similar like a certificate of authenticity.

I had the old wallet from a long time ago and updated to the latest but with both there is no connections available to update the blocks?

You should only be using 2.0.2 which is the most current wallet.  My wallet is currently running and has 9 connections.  How long have you left the wallet running for?  It should grab some connections if you let it run a bit.

Anybody have a good reason why Mintcoin is at 5 sats right now? Did something happen while I was not paying attention?

I think this is a great coin and have been holding and buying more since the beginning.

Poloniex and ShapeShift removed MINT.  Since then we've been added to multiple new exchanges.

There hasn't been much news lately but work continues on multiple fronts in the background.  Wink

See the history thread for more details.

What are the trading fees?

BtcPop's stated on site chat that exchange fees are 0.25%

Probably helps if there is volume on it when they take it into consideration. Just a guess though.

So are you saying that btcpop will payout a mintcoin dividend after just 1 day of holding coins there?  What APR % were you getting? Does it matter if you are trading with them like in order book, or do they have to be free and available? Sorry for all the questions just trying to understand.


In my case, yes, I received a dividend after only 1 day.  I can't tell you if the coins need to be available as I never added them to an order book.  My goal was to only confirm their on-exchange minting was working and I did not take my tests much further.  My funds at BtcPop have since been mostly removed because I prefer being in control of my own coins rather then completely trusting an exchange.  Minting percentage received for my first payout was 0.0015129722104421492%.  I've left a very small amount of coins in the exchange which some might call dust.  Those coins have given me a second on-exchange minting at 0.0024577843750523%.
