I am involved in mint coin from 2014 and love this coin. Isn’t it a good time to improve the coin? I think it’s time to fork the coin and make it better. Any suggestions?
this question to the developers ?? Yes. I'm doing what I can to help the coin. (not official developer) if the official mintcoin controllers want control, then they can message me. I'll open source any code I make (if I can, sometimes I use others code and have to check the license). but I guess the proof is in the pudding  |

i just checked out this coin lately, top 100 on richlist has 24 Million coins. insane! this coin is difficult to pump the price due to its low demand and very high supply.
Doesnt that mean the coin is strong in value? If its difficult to pump. And isnt that a plus to the coin? |

I just bought some MINT coins from Cryptopia and have a question. What plan you have for medium / long time about the coin? Thanks.
Well given how well the blockchain explorer is going I would say that remaking the wallet in c# is a few months not years but testing will take a while, I mean hardening it against attack. While I should be able to convert the result to android, the main goal would of course be lightning compliance which will likely require a fork but its a way off. Again, I'm not official Just an independent. Now the price is very small and I suppose if the developers will solve the wallet, as you say, it is possible for the price to go up on the exchanges. I wish you success. Mintcoin is undervalued, that is true |

Cryptsy took 1000000 of my mint with it when it went. be careful with exchanges.

Any devs active here? Roadmap?
My plan was to rewrite the wallet in c# which would make a java/android implementation possible (they are very similar) However I'm not officially in any way related to the original devs. And the time frame is unpredictable as its the first time I've actually tried writing any blockchain stuff. I have studied it since 2012 tho. |

Whats the easiest way to contact fuzzbawls, he might remember me from IRC a while back. I'm writing a test block explorer for mintcoin just to see if I understand it all correctly and I have a couple of technical questions.

I guess its not important that some wallet is over charging its users nm.

People not using dumb wallets that set 430 sats per byte even though there's a clear area (with low transaction numbers) between 180-430. https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/That would probably help. |
|
|
|
The graph at https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ has clearly shown a small number of transactions between 180-430 yet people keep adding transactions at 420-430 per byte. Is it a wallet not functioning as well as it could? |
|
|

Personaly Ill say nah, I'm here for the technology. I do find it interesting that a large number of new transactions are putting in a fee of 400+ sats per byte when they could easily all get away with <200. me thinks a wallet isnt getting its users the best value. https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ |

If that could be done, then surely a better alternative would be to have a wallet that does that automatically by creating a running "genesis block" and keeping it say 6 months (or less) behind while retaining the last 6 months of blocks.

What would be in this genesis block, all the coin values/ages that the previous blocks amounted to?

hello so are the bugs resolved ? personally i downloaded the wallet last week i did 165 mint from the faucet before it s dead, , wallet is running normal, excepted that it using to much memory (780mb overs wallets does 100-300) but i can't withdraw from cryptsy, they waiting for an update  This is a n issue that need to be resolved sooner or later. Memory & CPU usage has to be contained. Its like the debt problem how much of it you will allow before everything becomes inefficient & breaks. We better solve it now rather than kicking the can down the road. We have gone from 100 MB to 700 MB in a year and half. Bitcoin is centralizing due to this. They have put out something in latest release that allows people to store only last 500 MB (or more but 500 MB is minimum) of blocks only because its impossible to change the blockchain from that far behind. We have to look at such a solution or some other way of reducing both HDD & RAM usage. Otherwise it becomes a decision of how much resources (RAM, CPU, Internet Bandwidth, Power etc) are you willing to invest to get few dollars every week. We need to root out the inefficiency. I agree, that we should look into reducing the RAM usage especially. CPU has seemed to me to stay fairly consistent, but RAM slowly rises. Have we been able to pinpoint exactly what is causing Mintcoin RAM & CPU to run so hot? Is it possibly because there are so many micro-fractional amounts stuck in limbo? When I look at a mintcoin balance, it looks like it goes out 8 decimals (.00000000) but it looks like the mintcoin network minimum transaction only goes out to 4 decimals (.0000)? Am I correct about this? I don't really get the reason for this, but then the wallet still seems to track the balance out to 8 decimals, so is there always a microfractional amount lingering around in addresses? I am not really sure if this is correct, anyone else have anything to say about this? Also, Is it possible to change the decimal place structure of the mintcoin? would there be any benefits of that or downsides? There shoudnt be fractional amounts stuck around, Bitcoin had an issue a little while back where the amounts didnt have trailing zero's (about a year ago). But I expect that the internal transactions do have trailing zero's in mint at this point, I'm not sure where you are seeing the .0000 but blockchain explorer etc. can report however they like and just not show the trailing 0's this wont affect the blockchain. |

Wow I havent had such an easy wallet upgrade in so long. To top it all off, v1.7 had a debug file over over 200mb over the last 2 weeks and v2.0 opened and synced in no time. I was terrified to have to download he chain again but no need! Even my CPU usage has dropped significantly (most likely due to the debug.txt not being active but still).
It's this kind of development, foresight, and attention to detail that is going to make this coin thrive. Great job Mint Team!
Edit*** Whats the dev address again? I feel sharing some minty love.
Here is the mintcoin address for our new developer SupaSonicMfz6nPPDYRE2qYBBRRFXE4QRX1Ahec2Eih PressTabMtPUXx1RcetTXFhCL39XB5TZjsBhnMyFDo |

Your hunch was correct.... What does that mean?
Sorry I thought with all the links it was self explanatory. Removing the old irc code cleared up the virus warnings. -press Nice its cleared up  I guess the resultant assembly/binary for the library could have changed due to using an up to date compiler. |

Like I said some virus checkers are weird. I've met a problem with kaspersky before (my bank gave me a free copy as I said some virus checkers are weird that doesnt make them completely wrong tho) (I'm circulating closer to the plane)

That is compiled straight from the source. I am guessing it is flagging the irc.cpp as a virus which tends to happen in some of the older wallet codes. Anyone else have any ideas? Is this the most recent version of the code?, the OP points here and irc.cpp hasnt changed for 2 years. (google points to the same place). If so I doubt its in that file by itself. (some virus checkers are weird and loot at the behaviour of the application as a whole instead of looking for signatures) |

Looks good, managed to transfer coins from 2.0->1.17->2.0. blockchain loads quicker too. (new instance asks if you want to import or new too).
