[ANN] [MINT] Mintcoin (POS / 5%) [NO ICO] [Fair distro, community maintained]

Is http://mint.hashrapid.com/ paying out?

Not had even a single unconfirmed for some time.

PoS is awesome. I just want to know how we know this is one? Where's the proof? DEV could up and walk away in 5 weeks and leave everyone holding the bag.

I've noticed asking questions on here doesn't do too much good though. Everyone seems to have rainbows shooting out of their a**

dev stated premine was 1 %, 70 million. At 5 satoshi he won't go very far with that and the biggest whales on hashstrike (80,000 kh/s) mined 50 millions / day until recently (at least reportedly)

Yes, I got paid one hour ago. We are thinking they have backlog or something(I'm no expert on terms)

HashStrike pool is down?!

2nd time in 4 hours!

When it rains, it pours  The block chain in our wallet got corrupted, so now having to fully re-download it to get back up and running.

Yeah, it's usually caused by a backlog with cronjobs, I think.

Whatever pool you choose (and this applies to any coin) I would strongly advise to set up at least 2-3 backup pools.  No pool is perfect, and it will keep you hashing at 100% all the time.  I'm manually recovering the blockchain at the moment, and we should be back shortly.

--failover-only is the parameter you guys should use.

This is how your .bat-file will look with failover set to other pools;
stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password --failover-only stratum+tcp://megaminer.com:2222 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password

Code;

Code:

 -o stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://megaminer.com:2222 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password

You can do this with as many pools as you wish in the .bat-file. It's the only way you can leave your house and still be sure you are mining 6 hours later

is there a way to set up backups when im using GUIMinor?

thanks

[bizzargin]

CGWatcher should be enabled on start up. IMO

[Danz0r77]

Any news of any other exchanges coming on board?

[luckyguy2807]

Does anyone have confirmed coins?

I have no idea how to set this up in the GUI interface I first got the hang of mining when tried the regular cgminer(the one that launches a cmd window). GUI just messed everything up

The block chain has been loaded, now rescanning our wallet to re-import all those delicious mintcoins that everyone has been mining  T-minus 5 minutes until we're back up.  

To get technical, it looks like the wallet file for the pool is over 200MB due to the massive number of addresses and transactions the pool has touched, and this seems to be at the limit for the mintcoin client.  We'll be checkpointing the wallet and starting fresh to help make it more stable, as well as setting up a regular cron job to keep this from happening in the future.

Why on hashrapid pool when you go to Getting started section, on the download link for the wallet you get digibyte link?

[bizzargin]

Hashstrike back up!  Thanks guys

[trigeek]

Hashstrike back up!  Thanks guys

Woohoo! We are rocking and rolling again.  From here on out we will be keeping a "hot" backup of the wallet and database so that if it fails again we can immediately switch over instead of having to go through this block chain download process again.  We appreciate everyone's patience while we worked through these issues.

[luckyguy2807]

I don''t get any coins on hashrapid. Why?
Edit: on coins4everyone When I try to register I received a message that Tokens has expire. why?

I don't know what to do with the wallet.  I added all the nodes as the instructions say, and I am still not getting any active connections, and never have raised even one.  The wallet has been on for two days now.

I wonder if the settings have anything to do with it.

under Options -> Network, I changed it from "Map port using UPnP" to "Connect through SOCKS proxy."
The default options I left alone: 127.0.0.1 / Port 9050 / SOCKS version 5

Do these settings look right?  Should I change it back to "Map port using UPnP"?

I have never had this much trouble setting up a wallet before.

Thanks for any help that anyone can give.  I know that many of you have set up this wallet, but I have failed miserably.
