About Testnet. Did you only shorten the periods or did you do more changes? Theres no way to fully simulate PoS+PoW progress with testnet unless you have same parameters and same hash power as in real. Im sure you know that. You can only test if the variables change as they are meant to be.
I said I would get back to you with clearer response from protocol consultant. Here you go: PoS+PoW is math. MintCoin ditched the difficulty based PoW reward system from peercoin. We are able to accelerate the timings and still vet out that the formulas are working as intended. The PoW is not dependent on hashpower/difficulty. There's really no issues here that I see, they kept it pretty uncomplicated and straightforward unlike PeerCoin. I have a hard time seeing how it would NOT work. OK. So no new tricks. Just "turbo version". Didnt you already check the code like this before launch? Mint was not cloned from PPC anyway, but im sure you know that too  . Thanks for answering. i appriciate it a lot. |

Seems to be a good distribution  Thanks for the link! Look at all those pow blocks! This cut PoW supply to half. On Friday morning block reward will half aswell. That means at least 4 times less MINT from mining PoW. |

Im sorry to burst your bubble, but you are mistaken again.
Toxic uses Hynix H5GQ2H24AFR memory modules, which easily clock to 1800ish.
Dual-x uses cheaper Elpida EDW2032BBBG modules, which can not do 1800ish.
While you continue to say it can't be done there are people out there who are doing it Such is life I guess... there will always be naysayers and there will always be people out there accomplishing things who ignore those naysayers who say "it can't be done". Really? Thats your argument? OK then. Enough of OT. |

elchorizo, For heaven sake, read the thread before you make your post.
You are running DC2T and Toxic´s! Those cards can do 1140/1800. Majority of 280x cards can not.
Besides. Those cards fans are screaming loud at 70+ %.
Of course, its possible to do 800s with proper setup. If its worth to spend so much more money and power cost on Toxic cards for gaining additional 50-60khs is another story completely.
* elchorizo sighs.... OK Mr. Internet Expert You may want to tell your buddy that the Dual-X is identical to the Toxic except for the fan setup. In fact, he can flash the same Toxic BIOS I'm using onto his card and it will work just fine. And I find 2800-3000 RPM @ 72 degrees to absolutely not be "SCREAMING" as you put it. You guys make me laugh. I won't bother wasting my time trying to help people out in this thread anymore. The information is out there if you are to lazy to find it and utilize it, thats on you. Everything I've said above has been said at litecointalk.org many times. Im sorry to burst your bubble, but you are mistaken again. Toxic uses Hynix H5GQ2H24AFR memory modules, which easily clock to 1800ish. Dual-x uses cheaper Elpida EDW2032BBBG modules, which can not do 1800ish. Besides their VRMs and voltage controllers are different. Cross flashing bios may work, but may fry your card as well. |

Same as any other scrypt. Your problem is not algorithm difference. Problem is somewhere else.

Mikellev, stop. You are getting annoying. Spamming this on each page will create contradictive feelings about your service.
Thank you.

@Bulldog_Duke, good news for the .com (pm sent).
Main Development Updates:
Merchant Social Lobby
Building is well underway for a website that is largely based on kickstarter. We will select a number of merchants and you'll be able to vote with your MINT to purchase products from the merchants website. Once we have a certain number of MINT voters, we will present the information to the merchant and say something along the lines of; right now there are x amount of people willing to spend x amount of Mintcoin on your products / services - this presents x value in $, do you want this business?
Mintcoin Website
SEO optimisations and search engine submissions are being made to increase organic traffic. Banners for advertising are also being designed.
Cloudfare was introduced yesterday with the aim to improve loading times and it seems to be doing the job.
Protocol
Testnet has been built (new genesis block for this purpose) and we are putting the PoS through it's paces. We are trying to stay one step ahead and diagnose / fix bugs before they happen!
Wallets
Newly designed wallet is on it's way. There are extra features being included in the wallet itself such as hyperlinks to the main website or forums. We will add as much cools stuff to the wallet as we can, one step at a time.
Automint
This is also in development. The idea is a kind of wrapper for minting with the wallet. Its purpose is to let you mint occasionally without the hassle of -under Windows- open a dos prompt, going to exe folder, type in the unlock command+passphrase to unlock wallet. I know you can just open the console in the wallet, but you still have to type in the command and passphrase. The goal is: AutoMint=no hassle. You launch it, indicate path to wallet and type in your passphrase only once at the first launch, then it is stored encrypted and no longer have to type it in. Option to set an unlock time, then autoclose.
All these things and many more are being worked on right now.
About automint. This could probably be integrated in qt client and not as a separate application..? About Testnet. Did you only shorten the periods or did you do more changes? Theres no way to fully simulate PoS+PoW progress with testnet unless you have same parameters and same hash power as in real. Im sure you know that. You can only test if the variables change as they are meant to be. About Merchant Social Lobby. This is good idea. I like it a lot. About new wallet look (screenshot posted earlier). I dont fancy the round corners very much. Also the green overlay should be bit darker? However im not sure how many will agree with me. |

I know the trolls are out and have zero clue. But contolling the flow of information that could be posted to the .com and preventing negative media is more valuable than owning it. To the clueless troll, here is a little history lesson. When YouTube came on the seen, people who only heard the name were going to www.utube.com and it was a pipe manufacturing company. http://www.utube.com They immediatle started getting 100's of thousand accidental hits a day and quicly started selling ads and moved the real business to another site. Look at the site now! The pipe company has their banner at top but they are printing money becasue YouTube was stupid in the name choice and did not do their homework upfront. So, to the troll, I tell you again, go read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Also, you are playing checkers while I am playing chess. When you are done with the Napolean Hill book, then read The Art of War ------- then come back and let's talk! You assume too much and speak of what you do not know. Trying to justify your decision by making example like of utube? Really? Yes, Google made a huge mistake by not getting utube.com. Thats why they are worth "only" over 400B USD. There are thousands of companies who ride on the glory of Google. Comparing MINT to Google is like comparing Sun Tzu to You. Having said that. I agree that having .com domain is better than not having .com domain. Cant argue with that. |

.com domain was extremely bad investment in my opinion. For 6500 USD you could have done a whole lot more than this for MINT.
.. if that was indeed the price you paid.
Anyway, modern young people dont give a rats ass if domain is .com or .cc or whatever. Its extremely overrated to have .com.
Price was no where near 6500. I have bought many domains for sale over the years and 50% is what they HOPE to get. I was 100% certain that someone would have something negative to say. I did not ask for your opinion. Also, it is not the modern young people that it was bought to cater too. You are living in your own microcosm and probably have zero busienss accumen. You think small. You should read the book by Napolean Hill titled "Think and Grow Rich." Stay off the boards and read that then come back and have a discussion. Besides, I probably bought it with day trade profits from people like you panic selling into my buy and sell orders.  If you think that .com is worth even half a price, then you are dillusional. And if you think that .com is needed to gain more popularity -then you are the one who is narrow minded and cant think out of the box. Not me. But hey, that was your money. GL. |

In long term perspective, every coins value will be largely determined by amount of shops and services accepting it.
MINT only has exchanges.
Need to start attracting merchants soon.
It will come merchant integration is in the works. The dev. team is working on it right now. Give it a break, the coin is less than 3 weeks old. Are you in team or are you just another speculator? What integration exactly? Whats your approach to it? -------------- About the earlier pages. Be so kind and top answering the trolls please. ----- Personal view about MINT yearly interest: I started mining in day 3. Mined around 2,600,000 on the first day. Currently getting less than 200,000 per day. Traded (sell high - buy low) at exchange. Made additional 8,900,000 MINT in 3 days (around 5-7 hours total work). Risk was there, but its not high if you know what you are doing. If i kept all my MINT in wallet, i would have got around 590,000 after a month. What do you think i prefer. minting or trading? I bet theres a lot of MINT holders who think the same. |

Mate, 8Mhs soloing this coin is like buying lottery ticket, if you consider that this coin halves rapidly (every week)
With 8Mhs you will get only 1-2 blocks per day. If you are unlucky, you even dont get block before next halving.

Really dont give a rats ass either the domain is .cc or .com. Doesnt matter at all. So he can shove this .com domain in to hes ass.

hi guys, newbie & new to mintcoin, looks promising. mining now ! so does it mean as long as i have coins in my wallet & it'll start to mint (generate) coins by itself ?
any kind soul here to guide on how to solo mine ? atm, i'm mining at a pool.
Solo mining any scrypt coin is pretty much identical. If you dont know that, then probably you dont have enough mining power to solo this coin anyway. |
