Yeah guys, let's not screw around and end up having someone get sued over trying to hold onto an exclusive feature (that was built off of a base of free open source code as I understand it) for ourselves.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Actually I'm not in favor of paid-for-development clients But as far as I could see, your clients are already open source, so bounties for conversion are always ok I would be happy to see a second application to use mintcoinj library as well as android wallet, it'll make the library stronger and will cause bugs to be found & fixed. You should note that mintcoinj is not as lightweight as POW-only coins' Simple Payment Verification libraries. For POS security to be trustable, entire blockchain needs to be downloaded (but it will be much lighter than official client for sure, regarding both storage and CPU, but not bandwidth. Also hopefully android app will use some tricks and users won't have to download entire blockchain (bandwidth wise), but a pre-processed blockchain database file instead. You would have to embed similar measures for users to be happy) Hi, If you make mintcoinj library, I can make Mintcoin lightweight wallet similar like I did for Dogecoin www.wowdoge.orgor Vertcoin www.vertigowallet.orgor Execoin www.exelite.org. Let me know if you are interested, please? MINT: MZaH4MxEj5LrLDMgkw9b5yhg9dJWSfhE2k

Mintcoinj would be free software and will keep bitcoinj's license, period.
Though I will not release any source code (including library itself) until android binary is available on Google Play. I don't want to give any other coins a head start.
Thanks for clarifying. I'm not worried about other coins copying this because a) everyone would know where they got it from b) a coin copying this that offers only 1% interest for example is low to the point where it is just a curiosity, not a selling point I don't have an android phone, but this really adds important value and I can't wait to see Mintcoin get some of the attention it deserves!

I ported bitcoin-seeder to Mintcoin. It helps clients to bootstrap over DNS. Mintcoin didn't have any, and was exclusively using IRC to get an initial list of IPs. With DNS seeding, I hope establishing the initial connection to the network would be easier for new users. It will also benefit android wallet. I set up a public dns seeder, but a second one will be appreciated. Source is available at https://github.com/keremhd/mintcoin-seeder(Bitcoinj doesn't have IRC support, and I'm not thinking of adding an IRC library into mintcoinj. Mintcoin-qt will be fine even if DNS seed is down, it can fallback to IRC -- but android wallet can not)

Newsflash: Cryptsy is having a sale on MINT, just 7 to 8 satoshi. While supplies last!
I ran out of BTC so I thought I would let you guys in on it.

I'm wouldn't be surprised if that recent dump was the exchange selling the interest they make on all the coins people leave there out of habit.

As someone that's been using faucets to obtain Mintcoin but hasn't actually gotten involved yet... someone sell me on it. Why should one make the move? Why this coin? .

I seriously don't understand why anyone would let orders of a PoS coin sit on an exchange, especially at an ask price so far from the bid. It boggles the mind. Just giving away free coins!

Right now it is ridiculously undervalued for starters. Yes it is... Now, as for this coin - what some of us are counting on is for the very concept of Proof of Stake to be gain an understanding in wider circles. So we're talking about ordinary people catching on the the idea that this is like a term deposit. So let's assume that people find out about PoS coins and then want to compare them. They probably won't acknowledge a coin outside of the top 50 on coin market cap, and this is where Mint is pretty well entrenched. Then they will compare rates, as I've said, 1% is negligible, I think 5% is the minimum rate for it to be considered an incentive to someone thinking along these lines. And if you think 20% is too high, you just have to a) factor in the drop after 1 year and b) contrast it to the rate coin supplies are increasing under Proof of Work. Other than that, the name is good - the messaging is good - the community is accomplishing things, so, what more do you want??

. As someone that's been using faucets to obtain Mintcoin but hasn't actually gotten involved yet... someone sell me on it. Why should one make the move? Why this coin? . why this coin? of the top of my head 1. pos rate is awesome 20% first year 15% second year and so on (you could live of the pos rate if price was high or if you have a lot of coins) 2. 50+ merchants + a lot of exchanges 3. we have hit our floor, price should jump soon 4. mintcoin has a positive and a very helpful active community 5. the mintcoin community donates coins to various charity's 6. mintcoin is young, its still a baby it has so much time to grow and improve (android wallet soon ) 7. the devs are great they are working on new things for the coin as we speak 8. very fast transactions. this is massive, if a coin can be transferred fast and securely then there is no limit as to how far the coin can go. 9. NO MINING!!! NO HIGH POWER BILL!!! + alot more make the right choice, mint your future! http://media0.giphy.com/media/GCLlQnV7wzKLu/giphy.gif
