Apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere but i have been out of the loop for a while.
I updated my mintcoin wallet from last year and it shows me the coins that were transferred to my wallet but my wallet is empty without any withdrawals?
Is there something i have to do to reactivate my coins?
I will have the wallet staking 24/7 once it recognises my coins.
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
Good Morning! Is it syncing by any chance? Silly me, yes i should have mentioned, it says up to date. currently on block 1600897 in the client, does that sound right? my address book is blank, could that be my problem? This is the receive coins address MnbNhUruyUy5UL7sRnE75RpFxr86K8CUYh if that helps. |

Good Morning! Is it syncing by any chance? We currently are running on 1.17 found here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByiwIYtArulmNS0yZ3BDWHlZTlk&usp=sharing#listCan you verify you are running this wallet? (on the home screen you will see a feature that says "Total ever minted" Silly me, yes i should have mentioned, it says up to date. currently on block 1600897 in the client, does that sound right? |

Isn't there a possibility that a bunch of mintcoins were lost? Like the total supply is really a lot less.

@coolbeans Your whole argument is that people with small amount of coins can never stake. This is incorrect. With POS 2.0 staking becomes like solo mining, you are guaranteed a stake but it will take much longer if you have less coin. Also as you accumulate coin age by being online the longer it takes for you to stake, bigger the reward. Its just that it will be less frequent with small amount of coins. Also with POS 1.0 people arent securing the network but still getting the rewards. You get rewards for processing transactions & securing the network, that happens only when you are actively staking. Also one of the argument for POS 2.0 was that those who are investing large sums of money to back the coin are trumped in staking by others who just come online to collect reward but provide no service for 99% of the time. Although i am not at all for big investors so this is not something i am worried about. For those who are worried about keeping their PC on all the time, people are running nodes & minting PCs on Raspberry PI like computers which could be a good investment if you stake more than one coin. Another way around low staking % is to create dedicated staking group from community members who create some reasonable weight say, 20-30% all the time during the 20 day staking cycle. This might not seem like a problem right now as we are in our infancy but if MINT goes big people will have incentive to fork the network. Fluttercoin created a good scheme by paying people to keep their wallets open via a bounty fund. That is another way to incentivize people to stake. Thanks for keeping the discussion going. How can you say that PoS 1.0 people are not securing the network, but getting rewards? In order to get reward, you need to find a block, and you are securing the network when you do this. Granted it may be for a brief period of time, since a block on mintcoin is about 28 seconds or so. But you are helping to secure it. |

Just to chip in, keeping 24/7 wallet uptime is not a hardware limitation for me, it is due to circumstances that frankly need no elaboration save to say that they render it an impossibility, even if that were not the case the mere suggestion of having to buy dedicated hardware to leave running constantly is huge turn off, and will be for a lot of people. You say "but if MINT goes big" however a system that requires constant uptime will be a good reason why for an "average" or "uneducated" user it will not, because most will not care about security considerations but will focus more on convenience and practicality. There has to be a certain amount of pragmatism involved in considering this. |

Granted it may be for a brief period of time, since a block on mintcoin is about 28 seconds or so. But you are helping to secure it. The problem is right now people are securing the network for few hours or maybe a day when they open wallet to receive their minted block but leaving it vulnerable for rest of the 20 day period. If your wallet is not open then your coins dont count towards the network weight which is like total hashrate for a POW coin. If for a POW coin like bitcoin hashrate is too low then a big miner can attack the network, similarly POS coin can be attacked if network weight is too low. Continuing with the same analogy, if a miner turns on his miner for a day every 20 days and collects rewards that he would have received only if he hashed for 20 days continuously then he is kind of gaming the system. That is what happens when people open their wallet every 20 days. |

You will still get your rewards if you remain online for few hours but it will take longer to get your reward. Also you have to do something more than just sitting on your coins to get reward. I mean why even come online for a little time every 20 days, just get your rewards for creating a wallet. Current POS system is dumb, thats why i called it rent seeking as people aren't helping the network but keeping coins just to get free rewards. |

You can see who has minted during the last 24 hours by using the block explorer's network page. Comparing today's results with tomorrow's results should give a rough indication how many people are staking 24/7. Here's today's results. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/mint/#!network It shows the number of clients seen by fairglu's daemon during the last 24hours. It says nothing about minting / online status / online time. Btw. next Mintcoin version should get another client / protocol version. It would be nice to see on which version the people are. Example: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/zeit/#!networkCheers, Ray |

Example: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/zeit/#!networkCheers, Ray Currently 2.2% of the wallets are staking https://chainz.cryptoid.info/mint/#!extraction I have seen it as high as 9%. Also please see the latest podcast discussing current bounties and let us know if there is anything else you believe should be in there. Personally I believe Mintcoin is a great PoS. I have conducted thousands of transactions over the years and am always in awe in how fast the transactions are received and approved. I had one single transaction that glitched about 6 months ago while beta-testing one of our versions and it was fixed and released within a day. Every now and then I recommend migrating to new wallet with fresh addresses just because if you run allot of transactions the wallet tends to get a little heavy in loading time. (I have done it once and the difference is amazing) From a technical support aspect I have had maybe 4 cases where I needed development assistance and that was because the operating system was not windows. I also had one windows case where we found that the windows system needed to be reformatted due to a Windows upgrade. Considering the number of wallets out there I believe those numbers are impressive in itself. I have heard the argument of PoS not being secure in the past and after research and testing Mintcoins wallet on a daily basis I personally am not concerned (I am also not a wallet security expert by any means). Which is why I believe it is important to have an open discussion regarding the wallet and understand the technical security side of the current PoS system. |

Well its not absolutely necessary to be online 24/7. You will still get your rewards if you remain online for few hours but it will take longer to get your reward. Also you have to do something more than just sitting on your coins to get reward. I mean why even come online for a little time every 20 days, just get your rewards for creating a wallet. Current POS system is dumb, thats why i called it rent seeking as people aren't helping the network but keeping coins just to get free rewards.
I maintain three wallets that I take turns keeping up 24/7 I know there are several other community members that are keeping theirs up 24/7 as well. That is commendable!! but not enough because again those members as a % of total coins are just 3-5%. I wonder who are the guys on rich list holding such big amounts & invested a lot in coin but dont stake. |
