[ANN] Mincoin Cryptocurrency Project, World's Fastest Rare Altcoin [ANN]

[DarkHyudrA]

To be honest I don't think it matters what people say on here. 14 MH/s are mining this coin and MUST know something more about this coin and its future. This is a lot of mining power for a brand new coin and without a GUI client too.

They know that's a new coin, this is a good reason to keep mining thinking them could trade it for a bigger value someday.

Its as much of a joke as the other copy and paste coin BTE.

Did you see how much litecoin changed over tenebrix or even Bitcoin itself? Nice copy paste job for a coin that's worth $3 now. These alt coins don't need to change much to become popular as Bitcoin already is very good.

Here is my predicition, these coins are going to keep coming out each week. Don't waste your time on them.

And who can tell which one will be valuable in the future? New coins mean people can become early adopters and perhaps make some money, that's a good thing I would think? All of these altcoins change something about Bitcoin, however small, and sometimes that's all it takes.

Well Mincoin has 1 Min TX time so is the fastest one out there. In the long term my money is on Mincoin once it gets a GUI Window Client.

Any latest update on Mincoin?

Pool(s), client(s), market(s), whatever relevant?

[manface]

I found a pool link on the github page just now when I was looking at recent commits the author made. No announcement by pool owner? No new binaries for the changes? Looks like the QT client is now building properly with its own icons/resources now which is nice.

Here is the pool anyhow. http://www.vircurpool.com/

On the vircurpool web site there is a link to a compiled windows version in case anyone here wants to use it. Tested in my virtual machine and it's working good, virus scan passed too.

manface, I will update the original post with this info! Thanks !!!

No problem. Do you know if BTC-e or vircurex are going to add Mincoins to their exchange?

Very unlikely to happen.

Bitcoin is 10 minutes
Litecoin is 2.5 minutes
Mincoin is 1 minute

Any ideas?

[CaptChadd]

Even with the 2 MNC block reward, you can still get a lot of coins using the pool that is out now.

These coins are only going to get more rare by the day.

Are one minute blocks really the fastest? Isn't GeistGeld or Tenebrix or some such coin like 30 seconds or less?

-MarkM-

I think you are right, one of those coins had really fast block times. Wasn't it 10 seconds? One minute blocks are probably on the cusp of acceptable for a p2p currency but it means transactions appear to move around faster.

Bitcoin is 10 minutes
Litecoin is 2.5 minutes
Mincoin is 1 minute

I'm unaware of tenebrix setup but I ran the geistgeld client a long time ago.  I remember when I checked out there sight, it stated that the coin was a bit of an experiment, and not to be taken to seriously as a coin.  As such, I think block times were less than 30 seconds.  This could have possibly been the coin that had 10 second block times.  Do people still use GG?  I haven't heard or seen mention of it in months.

    Mining started at 12:20 GMT April 3 and was announced on IRC and the WWW not long after. There is no premine!
     
     
    Bounties
    10000 MNC for the first exchange (Paid to Vipah for http://vircurpool.com/index) Nice Job Vipah !
    10000 MNC for the first pool to adopt it
    5000 MNC for the second pool to adopt it
 

Oops! SuperTramp, Vircurpool was the first Pool, not exchange.  Might want to update the post, as not cause conclusion.

On VirCurPool, I'm putting out 1.8 MH/s via CGMiner - but VirCurPool web interface only reports I'm putting out 113 KH/s? Any idea why?

How about ZombieCoin?  It could be very useful in the coming Zombie apocalypse.

That would be because mincoin is a scrypt based hash coin and not sha-256 based, so you will see much "slower" hashing going on when using scrypt.
