DEVS have sure given us a haircut on our investments with this coin.

It is true that we don't know the number of coins pre-swap. This coin does not list a maximum supply in it's specs. (did it ever? Big Red Flag!) All the explorers started reporting many multiple blocks with the same number (I saw upwards of 10 blocks at a time with same block-number) and then the explorers went down so no-one could see any blockchain details. Wallet were shut down so that we could not sell.

We can see there was a 30 mil premine coded into the new chain (block #2)

Blocks #3 (03/23/18) to #506 (03/24/18) were payouts to mining addresses.

From Block #507 (03/24/18)  started also paying out splits to Masternode addresses.

----all this way before the "Official" blockchain starting date---

The Chain was already at block #65626 when the swap started, at 10 coins reward for block, 65626 x 10 = 656,260 SYNX rewarded pre-swap.

CoinMarketCap quotes a Circulating Supply of 19,531,650 SYNX that would need to swap.
the devs may be holding this:
30,000,001 initial pre-mine + 656,260 pre-mined (running) - 19,531,650 swaped to holders = 11,124,611 SYNX
DEVS have set up an @ss load of masternodes - watching the price action lately I will guess right here that they have been dumping coins on the market.

I have no good feelings of future projects here.
If DEVS would want distributed voting it would have been set up on-chain. (we have something else that feels like a rail-road bankster move)
If I wanted a PIVX coin, I would have invested in PIVX.

WOW, SYNX Devs served a new website out to us on April 3rd and I just realized it.
THANKS, nice work! the start-up loads slow for me but I think that the site is much more readable than previous...
Link to non-loading explorer page - (tested with Mozilla & Opera browsers here) it would be nice to see a goal for a robust-working explorer added to that Roadmap.
I see that the news was announced on the SYNX twitter site...

Looking Good Peoples...

None of the chain explorers are working up-to-date lately.
Some of my long-time SYNX masternodes stopped paying out for me last week.
If I check my VPS with "Syndicated getinfo" they all reported a different block.

Using info from some other masternode forums worked to sync my SYNX MN.
"A chain split can happen, some wallets get stuck. Reindex your MN"
1st using putty I stopped wallet software & rebooted server:
-
logon to VPS.
Syndicated stop[Enter](if this hangs up or wallet has stopped, close putty - logon again and just continue with next line)
sudo reboot[Enter](Server/Putty goes down NOW!)
wait bit of time for reboot... re-logon.
Syndicated -reindex &[Enter](that "&" is part of command, -reindex(space)&).
The reindex command will also start the wallet and it will begin to rebuild confirmed blocks, takes some time.
You can check the block-count of MN using:
Syndicated getinfo[Enter]
And the count will sync up to current level.
Block number will go up, when sync is done. Launch(Start) your MN again from your desktop wallet.

Absolutely! - Chaincoin was a good coin that was a "sleeper" like MINT, not much going on there. A Pump group from youtube had success driving the price up and others who got in later suffered from resulting Dump (Chaincoin deal was my biggest loss of 2017). The pump-n-dump in itself was not the worst, the terrible resulting FUD was not the worst, the worst was that attention brought in new controlling "investor/Devs" that were Soooo clueless. And code bugs that let miners hijack all the rewards (it was supposed to be morphing into a masternode coin). When it dumped I just bought more to help my average and would have held it a long - long time till it payed out (like MINT?). If they would have just left it as a unique C11 algo and had recruited some real devs. It was SO UGLY..   SO UGLY that i even sold at a loss so would not need to look at it.
--Sorry for the long rant---

I think there has been a whole list of abandoned websites along our history.

On that note: lately i was checking out an older coin's website and really liked how simple and clear the info was organized.
Not saying we should copy but it is worth a review to take some notes..
Hype images are not necessarily needed - but it should be good and solid...
(nice job BitBar..)

Nice to be online last evening to watch NXS do it's thing!
I sold enough at $10 to cover by costs coming in months ago.
Going to hold most for even bigger launch - or buy into NXS again larger if it dips back very far.

Any bright minds know a reason behind this good fortune? I know it was undervalued and lots of new $$ coming into crypto, but don't see any real news, PR, or development that would have triggered this. It did seem to all take place on bittrex exchange.

Hello MintyAllDay - Happy 2018 to you and the rest of the Mint-Crew here on Bitcointalk threads.
I had to go back to J-O-B after a week off so that was hard - but nice watching the Mint trading volume/price today.
Exciting Day!

Originally i got interested in  MINT because of the good interest that it paid (10% in those days) - it was a POS and seemed like a good bet. I was also running Linux Mint OS and keyed into the name connection - it seems they were linked a bit in the past. The rewards did reduce to the 5% it pays out now in MINTing rewards  but I'm sure the original intent of design was that the coin value would increase to where the profits would be good. This is the same way Bitcoin mining rewards reduce over time till they are no longer needed. The focus shifting to huge volume & value in transaction-fee-rewards.

I think what we are seeing right now is what could be called "The DUST Effect". Small-Small amounts of crypto are becoming more valuable as crypto-cap starts to moon. I had a tiny amount of forgotten BTC left on my account at NiceHash when it got hacked. With BTC at $20k that wee bits was worth over $100 - who would guess? MINT is doing the same thing, even 1 satoshi has really gained in value & there is no stopping it. The USD/MINT chart is getting crazy and it is due to mooning of those little Satoshis.

So here is my outlook for 2018:
1) BTC (or whatever coin flippins with it) needs to go 7 X to $100,000.
2) Our Mint needs to reach 1000 Sat.
------------------
MINT will be a $1 coin

My plan is to kick back, keep cranking up my MINT- MINTing machine, and just watch it happen.
Would love to find any way to help MINT in some way going forward...

Ok, I watched this vid of Dev meeting.
Heads up that they are planning major changes to payouts.
1) Hard fork that may fix masternode payouts may be as far out as feb/march.
2) They have a plan (for now) of reducing masternode payout to 15% of rewards (miners 75%, Dev fund 10%)

Lots of talk about Masternodes and Miners (mostly miners) -but- No talk of the HODLers at all.
Most of the Chaincoin Masternodes ARE your Hodlers - and I thought that I would always HOLD this coin.
Looks very bleak for running masternodes... When node-investors learn of this plan it can't be good for value.
As for me - closed nodes and sold out all CHC today - Good Luck You.

BTW - Devs, you are talking about renting C11 miners to help ride out the fork, as you are forking to X11 you need to think about renting X11 hash-power (not C11 you are forking away from). Since X11 is much more common you COULD just buy hash at nicehash.

Very Merry Holidays,

It looks like buyers have finally broken the 2 Sat. Sell Wall (and the 3 Sat.) - WAY TO GO!

Thanks dem0nlord, I'll load screen and try that out today...


Not sure what the problems are but if one miner drops in hash value it will be the one with reduced rate of "red-flashing" LED.
This will be hard if the hashing is only a slight amount lower or your pool/diff has them all blinking slow anyway.

Here is a question for our Linux/Raspbian crowd:

My plan was to run this off my RPI 3 as a headless system. I can putty in, do admin tasks, start, etc.
Trouble starts when I try to figure out how to log out & leave the pi mining.
Anyone have a good method for this?

I tried some tests with nohup command:
nohup ./startmoonlander.sh &
-
This does load bfgminer in background (with red LEDs flashing),
But not sure how to bring if forward again and worse the mining still stops when I close putty session.

If you are SSH(putty) into a raspberry pi the "Smart" power management may give problems to that connection also..
I'm logging into my RPI 3 "headless" using putty from a Win 7 CPU on my local net. Just got my new sticks running last night *yahoo* - and after my Win 7 CPU "slept" all sticks were not hashing next morning.

I'm running six Moonlander2s on two "Plugable" 7 port Charging/Data Hubs. I inspected the board in these and they DO NOT have three control chips on them. 1,2,3 are on one chip and 4,5,6,7 is on a second. I think these are a newer model where they have planned a cheaper way of making them. We had extra time waiting on shipping so I also ordered six "Y" USB cables, they are 12" long with two male ends - one is Data & power while the other is only power - they both go to a USB female socket for the Moonlander2 to plug in. Hoping I now have up to 3 Amps available for each stick. The RPI is loaded with Raspbian Stretch-Lite. I'm still running stock except for clocking to 756 and raising diff to 256. I WILL be tweaking these up over time.

Is it true that default diff of 128 is best for running one stick and we need to raise this some when running multiple moonlanders (like my example of six)?

Thanks to jstefanop for all your efforts & wish me luck with mining *red-flash* *red-flash*..

Thanks also to Astrali for the Raspberry pi guide - helped me a lot..

Thanks for this comment Minty. It worked as a "swift kick of understanding". I have been trying since this wallet version rolled out to shut off minting so the sync-up would happen. You made me realize my mistake - not having my wallet encrypted. This was the first wallet I ever downloaded & I did neglect to do it even though I should know better. In most wallets using encryption is an option, with this version it helps solve the minting on/off problem.

When we encrypt our wallets it will default to a locked position (minting off), after you get synced-up just unlock as Minty instructs.

So now I am good, got the current version synced by first encrypting, then downloading the snapshot, syncing up, and then unlocking the minting feature to get my green coins flowing in. Woo-Hoo
Wallet stayed focused on downloading blocks until synced, CPU staying cool enough to run 24/7 - thanks again!

My MINT wallet has been a pisser all year. It won't sync because it wont stop pumping in new rewards from the network long enough to do any syncing. Then any new coins get rejected as orphans because I'm not synced. I can't leave it on because it uses so much resource on my CPU that it overheats and shuts down my computer. Overall a bad experience - and it should not start minting before sync is finnished. The network must be making a zillion transactions that are just a waste.

I had hoped that a better solution/wallet would come. Now I am ready to just wipe out this wallet and load last year's version because at least it functioned. Our latest Dev guy has moved on an left a mess here. I did learn that there was a link on his personal website where he was asking for donations/funding toward MINT development. No hard feelings - I'm sure there was time invested and problems solved, but what is that called when you create problems and then want credit for fixing them?

Think about this. A lot of brand new hot coins are going to fail soon because they can't find DEV talent either.
At least this coin has some good history and lots of hardened investors - we just need to phoenix out of the fires..

It seems that MINT was really the first "Coin Hodlers Club" way before that was even a thing.
Max Lee made his phrase "Just Hodl" and his chaincoin hodl club famous on youtube this year.
(hey, I am a fan & use a fidget spinner now to get "rich" - - by not selling).

We need to think about all the great ways we HODL our MINT and play off of that.
"MINT - The Original Way To HODL"
"HODL A Bag of MINT Today" For Seven Rotations Of The Sun!

Anyway, I'm here to Hodl... & help if possible.

Are you running any firewall? The guides don't mention allowing the extra port added with rpcport commands called for in the sentinel part of the guide. In my understanding - this rpcport command is an option used when you want a custom port for that - it should just use the default port coded into the software. Many times I haven't included these rpcport commands and all works well -but- here with the addition of Sentinel and the Sentinel code being clipped right from DASH, the code might be defaulting to a port used by DASH - So a mis-match with native Innova code. The rpcport commands in both .conf files would be important to allow the rpc crosstalk. (just fishing for your problem..)

I have gotten another reward just less than 12hrs from previous. Crossed fingers and best luck to others.
have missed about 3 rewards (30 coins) while hacking through all this...

Reward coins arrive into the same address holding your 1000 stake. Since masternode set-up uses "Coin Control" active your wallet will break each transaction into a detail-sub-list. After getting a reward or two, click [Send] and then always click [Inputs] to select which coins that you will allow sending. Coins clicked will total up to a spendable balance. The idea is to NEVER click on that one with the 1000 coins unless you are closing node - BUT YOU SHOULD JUST HODL!  Hold on to those coins - i plan to save mine for another node...

Not much talk about running hot/cold masternode with sentinel.
My MN runs a local WIN-QT cold control wallet and a remote ubuntu 14 VPS hot node wallet.
IT CAN WORK. (It would have been nice to hear THAT instead of all my head banging).
-
The deleting of listed files and "re-index" were needed on both wallets to get them synced on chain.
There was a list of updated addnodes posted that I edit/replaced on on both .conf files.
I've got sentinel loaded with its cron job running only on the VPS, it is holding as "status ENABLED" 24/7 (finally)
-
One trick was remember to allow the new port through your firewall if you added rpcport commands in .conf.
-
The WIN-QT wallet without sentinel will still report "watchdog expired" as status from the masternode tab.
If I log into the VPS, it reports it's status as "ENABLED" during the same time..
The Win-QT always goes back to "ENABLED" after a bit.
-
So here is a question: Will I lose any rewards while WIN-QT without sentinel toggles into "watchdog expired" status?
It does not make sense that this also needs to run Sentinel and report every 5 min - it is normally off anyway.
Otherwise any cold wallet set-up will be a cripple.
I'm just betting on that little note saying "this wallet reports wrong status" or whatever...
