Just to report that I haven't had any problems whatsoever with minting, everything so far has been confirmed within a maximum of about 2 - 3 hours after the exact 20-day point.
Shortly I'll be getting the mint on my 50k FB/Twitter bounty, which cleared to my wallet at 17.35 on 2nd March - I think I was one of the first to get one - for which I offer again my thanks to ZEITCOIN.
I'm mining VertCoin a.t.m. to convert to
BTC to buy Zeits, hopefully @ 2 but I'll have no problem buying @ 3,4,6,10,15 .... I am very confident of where we are going with this cray-zee journey together
Still a bit irritated that I didn't get my 50k facebook/twitter bounty even though I was listed in the spredsheet just fine... I do have about 4 mill zeit so it's not the 50k as such, more the principle that I think it kinda sucks.
