Guys,

It seems hash strike pool's stratum is down...

We're back up.  Stratum crashed in a way that our monitoring did not pick up on, and we will be adjusting the triggers to account for it in the future.  We have maintained 100% uptime since launch, and will work on ensuring we can maintain this level of uptime in the future.  And we won't ever speak bad of another pool having minor issues, because nobody is perfect.  That shows a distinct lack of class

The lack of class you're talking about might be also the get more than 50% of the network hash and do nothing about it (except enjoying the fees ;-D). Anyway, good luck to your pool and your trusting miners.

How old are you man? Stop acting like a child. If you want more users on your pool then try acting more professionally instead of insulting other pools.

I'm acting responsible actually... and not insulting anobody Dude.
Letting the same pool hash more than 50% of the network: that's not responsible and certainly not professional.

[boubou]

I don't understand why people go on the same big pool.
Is it because it's number one on the first post list?
The second on the lise is 0% fee, stable, professional, what's the point of getting elsewhere? It's a real question, not a promoting message.

[andyatcrux]

I have been at hashstrike and am too lazy to go change my settings to move at the moment. I do agree that if they are heading to 51% than registrations should stop. This seems customary and perfectly sensible.

thank you & +1, i really wonder why it is so ;-)
Anyway, hashrapid (the first in the post) is not the biggest.
I would guess people are used to mine other coins at hashstrike; it might be a pool op/miners trust relation.

its going to be really interesting what happens to this coin when block rewards 1/2 in a few days. IMO 2 scenarios:

1. Mintcoin dies.

2. The price of mintcoin increases to reflect the decrease in block rewards

thoughts any1?

1.  no
2. yes (but we need to spread this coin , comunity must be large as doge comunity)

+1 ! More attention to this coin is needed !
And a new fancy web page would do a great job for that. When new people come they for sure wanna see a nice looking web page with all the info on it. Dev already said they are working on that.
If you need any help tell us, i am sure a lot of people are willing to help

[boubou]

Block reward will halved, but difficulty is still low at the beginning of second week I assume, so it probably still be profitable.
As it's a PoS coin, the dump may be limited.
Anyway, it did not reach any major exchange yet.

[stackmint]

Personally I'm on hashrapid and it's been great so far.  I picked them because I used them for their TOP pool, payments came quick so why not.

Difficulty just jumped by 10!  we are at 24 now.   Things will get very interesting in the next few weeks.

[nickenburg]

Yes i personally think a new website would attract more early Mintcoin adopters.
It doesnt look as proffesional as it can be.
I really like the idea of this coin tho, i will be mining this in the next few weeks on my poor videocard.
I just wish i have some more hashes.
You can also trade it at https://www.mintpal.com
Not a major enchange but you can exchange already!

Big hashrate fluctuations, is there any multipool milking (pun intended) this coin?

[koprobo]

Like always, on start is pump and after few days diff is lower and everyone can mine without problems

[David Latapie]

after the first year, Mint will have a maximum of 84 billion coins? (70BB + 20%) or will the maximum always be 70BB?

Yes, 20% inflation (MUCH more than fiat money). Actually a little less cause some people will keep their wallets down.

Can you explain how it is a bad idea to keep the wallet down?


This is a genuine question, I still have a hard time understanding this whole crypto things (and I still can't mine because GUIminer-scrypt tells me there's something wrong with my configuration).

Thanks.

Regarding your miner; Don't use the GUI interface, it causes more problems than it resolves Run cgminer with a .bat file and cmd. It is not as difficult as it looks like. Once you get a hold of it you'll realize it's not difficult at all, that is what I did. Read the cgminer 'read-me' and you will get the hang of it.

This hashrate fluctuations seem to have been there since the start. It's jumping between 1.5 and 5 Gh/s, difficulty goes down to 14 and then up to above 30 again.
Personally I don't mind if the rate goes down from time to time (instead of steady upwards), I'm only mining on a single card.

I've been jumping coins a bit lately. Mined MINT all night, but when the diff gets to high I have to redirect my R9 270

[matoy]

Again... but it seems nobody cares about that...
hashstrike pool hashrate is 1,4GH/s; network hash is 2,2GH/s... That means 63% of hash power at the same pool!

Maybe that could be interesting litterature to some people, it's about bitcoin but current situation is similar:
http://bitcoinowl.com/bitcoin-mining-pool-ghashio-preventing-accumulation-51-all-hashing-power

That's why i would suggest to spread hash power (and eventually come @ coins4everyone.com but not necessarily)

-> http://mnt.coins4everyone.com!

Still with 0% fee on MintCoin mining.
Absolute 0 fee (including Auto & Manual payments).

To get plenty of coins, just point your miners to:
Stratum: stratum+tcp://mnt.coins4everyone.com
Port: 3445
Algorithm: scrypt
Username: Weblogin.Worker
Password: Worker Password
