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

[Flyskyhigh]

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.

They could be lost coins. Due to issues in the past, such as mintpal, billions could be lost. That would really affect the % of total coins staking. Some maybe gone forever

Hi guys I would like to migrate wallet but this keeps happening

Any ideas how to solve this?

Happened to me with other wallets. Do you have a large number of small transactions? Reduce the number of coins you try to send to a new address.

have tried 500k now trying 100k man this will take a long time to migrate

edit: 100k dont work too even 50k wouldnt

edit 2: removing coin control seem to work lol Thanks MarSas!

[MarSas]

Could the problem be solved by defining a max amount of coins in a single transaction?

I was not able to work it out with advanced coin control tree no matter how little i select, disabling it allows a max 2mil transaction so far

Try taking off coin control, and send a lesser amount. I think this happens if some coins are trying to mint or recently minted.
I think there is also a way to turn off minting with a wallet setting, but I dont know how to do that.

Hi mates,

Comkort is closing down in a few days and i didnt want anything to go to waste so i sent 600 or so MINT coins to the bounty address on the OP:

Withdrawal amount: 696.27467921 MINT
Address: Mt6nEG8Pp7kyimcHEp3gFqdjDPQqXas5Ae
Transaction id: 597dd942b6119ed98b658d907b29fe73ec8bfcc523820857653e1ffca68a8286

Cheers.

FYI, looks like the extraction rate jumped up to 15.9%. Anyone notice?

Is staking also a Poisson/probability process with flutuations which average out to a mean, like 15% interest in this case? If yes then that can explain the high staking rate.

Hey MINTers! I really want to add mintcoin to my new PoS chain analysis site, but am out of RAM basically. For an old coin like mint that has over 1m blocks and multiple blocks a minute, I will need to deploy a new VM. Would anyone here be interested in having mint on presstab.pw. You can see an example of what it would look like at hyp.presstab.pw. It would probably be about 0.3 btc for 6 months. Thats basically my cost, I am really looking to have full coverage on the best PoS coins and would really love to have MINT.

I think you have to click help, then debug to get the debug window to open.

After that you type this into the debug window and press enter.

Hey all,

I posted this on the Mintcoin support forum yesterday but there doesn't seem like much traffic going on there.  I'm having some serious problems getting Mintcoin synced and would appreciate any help.

I’ve been trying to sync my wallet for the last few days. First I updated to the latest 1.17 on Windows 7. It took a few days and finally I was 80% done last night. I woke up today and the wallet had crashed. Restarting it resulted in more crashes. I tried starting it with -rescan but it still crashed.

I deleted the whole blockchain folder except my wallet.dat and then downloaded the official blockchain with Bittorrent sync. I added that folder. The client still crashes. I tried -rescan. Same thing.

The only way I can get the client not to crash is to delete the entire blockchain. But then I’m sure it will likely crash once it gets to 80% synced again.

I’m at a total loss here.  Any advice would be awesome.

dont ask me why, but download the whitecoin wallet, open it .. close it, open mintcoin again and IT WORKS! lol..

I have an issue with the wallet (1.17) on the computer I've been running it on for a year (windows 7 64bit), the splash screen loads up, it loads the block index etc. The UI then pops up and sits there in a Not responding state. This happened after the computer lost power while the wallet was open and unlocked for minting.

The debug.log isnt showing any errors, the daemon seems to be running fine in the background behind the UI (I can see it updating the blockchain correctly).

I've found a way to get it running by simply copying the data to another computer (also windows 7 64bit) and running an identical copy, it runs fine then. Which leads me to think it's likely a temporary file or something lying around on the original computer that's not in the data folder or the mintcoin program folder.

You need to download and run the whitecoin wallet, then close it and open your mint wallet and it will be ok, I know it seems odd, but it works!

When you do this, do you need to let the Whitecoin wallet sync completely before closing it out, or, will just running it for a bit, and then exiting work? I don't currently have any problems, just curiosity.

You just open it for like 15 seconds. Then go back to Mintcoin and it should work. I believe any Mintcoin clone coins can do the trick too.

Fixed it, I deleted the BitcoinURI file in the "C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess\Select LastBootUpTime from Win32_OperatingSystem" folder

Okay great. How did you figure that out?

I used Process Explorer to view the handles used by mintcoin, ignoring dlls, files in the mintcoin folder and registry entries that left just one file Tested it on a fresh datadir just to be sure. I guess whitecoin etc. are using a more recent version of the boost library.

I deleted that Bitcoin URI file and it appears everything is fine!  What an obscure fix...  How would the average mintcoin user know that I have no idea.  Thanks though!

Another question: I have held Mintcoin in my wallet for about 18 months but have not ran the wallet that frequently.  Does that affect my minting of coins?  Do I still get the same amount minted regardless of how often I ran the wallet?

I'm loving all the movement Mintcoin has been seeing #25 on coinmarketcap.com today. Sweet!!!

[dragonseer]

Can anyone tell me how to bootstrap the mac client??

It helps to secure the network if you keep it connected. If if you rarely connect it will affect you as you will lose the effect of compounding. Since newly minted coins will help you mint even more coins once those coins mature. So the compounding effect.

Question:
Did mintcoin POS just half? (or so)
I minted on
June 01 (approx 352,000 minted)
and just now on
June 21 (approx 196,000 minted)
and the later was 1/2 (or so) of the former.
What happened?
