FYI:
https://github.com/MintcoinCommunity/Mintcoin-Desktop-Wallet/commit/0438e27664719ed568d2add77e85bee08dcfd125
Add another 10 confirmations to the network requirements for
transactions and coinstake transactions.

int nMinConfirmations = (GetAdjustedTime() > FORK_TIME ? nCoinbaseMaturity + 10 : nCoinbaseMaturity);

Mint confirmations are still at 4 during transactions, so that line does not appear to be working.
May want to edit that part about 10 additional confirmations per transaction if staying at 4.

Thanks for the info. btw please use github issues page for technical things like this, much easier to track than bitcointalk.

I think it was just wrongly labelled, the change was for the coinbase transactions which are checked for depth in this process when they are spent. You can spend unconfirmed normal transactions at any pace you would like.

Ok, maybe, just misunderstood, when sending and receiving coins with the mint wallet ,
should it take 4 confirms or 14 confirms before transaction complete, because mine shows 4 like always.

Thanks.

A minted transaction should take 40 confirmations.

A standard transaction is confirmed within any arbitrary count that you would like it to be confirmed. You could respend it within 0 confirms if you would like to. The QT code suggests a number of confirmations to wait, and highlights the transactions accordingly. For Mintcoin this is set to 4, we could bump it up for the next release if we want to, theres no real reason to though.

OK,
You confused me. 

I thought mintcoins sent to another wallet was 4 confirmations before the coins were available to be used.
And 50 confirmations if you staked new mintcoins.

What exactly had 10 added to it, that is my confusion.

Thanks.

I would go by these numbers as it is what your QT wallet should be telling you

Before Fork:
- CoinStake tx requires 50 confirmations (nCoinbaseMaturity + 20)
- Normal transactions require 0 confirmations, but QT wallet suggests waiting 4 confirmations.

After Fork:
- CoinStake tx requires 60 confirmations (nCoinbaseMaturity + 30)
- Normal transactions require 0 confirmations, but QT wallet suggests waiting 4 confirmations.

I opened an issue on github if you need to discuss this some more or find any issues. https://github.com/MintcoinCommunity/Mintcoin-Desktop-Wallet/issues/15

Edit: the issue is concerning the over reporting of confirmations required by certain parts of the code, this seems uniform over a wide range of PoS coins and is not unique to MINT.

[JohnSmithy]

Not sure why but my wallet stays at exactly 63.86% sync rate, then gets stuck there and synchronises again to that % point when shut down and started again.

Is there any known fix for this?
Using Mintcoin qt v2.0.0.1 for win32.

Other than the described issue, it has been syncing fine so far.

Can you tell me an exact block?

[JohnSmithy]

Now at 63.88%, most recent block downloaded is 1,126,493.

Edit: and the problem persists with this percentage.
Edit2: No wait! it went 1k blocks further now (then stuck again), guess this part will take a whole lot of time (just like syncing HunterCoin from scratch manually...)

Maybe just try deleting it. I synced my wallet from scratch and I don't even have a conf file in my Mintcoin folder. Close client, delete the .conf file and restart the client. Mintcoin has always worked very well for me, even syncing from scratch - sometimes there can be a delay with the GUI though if you have a lot of syncing to do. Then, just be patient, or use the bootstrap. In my experience, you don't need the conf file anyway. It will find nodes and everything all by itself. I am fairly new to crypto stuff though so if someone else knows better...

I thought the coin was dead after it reach to 3 satoshi some months ago .......... but now i wish i bought 1 million of it ......

There are many believers in this coin that took up positions early and kept staking regardless of the lows you are referring to. Mintcoin has met many challenges and will keep on succeeding. The value of this coin is destined for triple SAT figures and that is just the beginning. Notice when this coin hit its ATH recently hardly anyone was talking about the price in this thread. Relative to other 'altcoins' this is an old crypto-currency now, but MINT has it's own timeline and there are two further rate drops before this coin matures. When the price swings too wildly the POS nature of this coin is undermined, now it is stable at the 24-26 SAT range this is a perfect time to buy. There is plenty of time to stake before the next upswing. If Bitcoin takes a dive then Mintcoin is ready to take up the slack, or alternately if Bitcoin rises sharply then Mint will rise alongside it. So it is about as safe an investment you will find in this crypto market.

I have to agree with you. It was no fun watching Mint languish.

Never count Mint out.  Dedicated people behind this coin. 

Mint is an "honest" altcoin. No scamming. No fud. No bs. It's just a well performing coin; as an investment and a real currency. I'm always amazed at how fast transactions confirm.

MINT is like a weed. It sneeks up on you. You can never kill it, and if you strike it down, it will just grow back again.
Every time you spray it and think it's dead for sure, the roots are really growing even deeper than ever, and when it comes back to life, it springs up out of nowhere like a giant beanstalk and becomes even stronger than you ever imagined.

I upgraded wallet to latest version and now it won't hold even 1 connection. It keeps flickering between 0 and 1.

I've tried importing a fresh block chain that I d/l from here and deleting the chain. Makes no difference.
Even tried it both ways with & without conf file.

Mintcoin has an awesome community and minting is very rewarding. I use it as my savings account and continually deposit $20 or so into the coin every week for minting. Every 3 months or so I will pull my mint profits out to help with the bills or maybe treat my family out for something special. My entire family has their own personal savings account minting for a rainy day

What is your operating system?
Please try deleting everything within the %appdata% Mintcoin folder except for the wallet.dat file. (make sure to back this up somewhere else as well)

Once you have done that - delete the wallet you have downloaded.

Download the bootstrap here:
https://link.getsync.com/#f=Mintcoin_daily&sz=12E8&t=1&s=SNTPNBS7OXQM5TZCEPZLPAGSB37LAJUF&i=CW6PY36ZAT2EPXWS7DTBOJMHJGMOXANPQ&v=2.0

and extract everything into the %appdata% Mintcoin folder (you should see a bunch of files in there / not just another folder called mintcoin)

Download the latest wallet here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByiwIYtArulmfkpWTUlhWHRsTzdFN0tkSG5HX1pMd2pqNTFVNmw0YjRPS3BrcWo5cW80Z2c&usp=sharing&tid=0ByiwIYtArulmNS0yZ3BDWHlZTlk#list

Open the wallet - the entire process should take just a few hours (including wallet syncing) before your wallet is running again.

Let me know if this works?

[Fuzzbawls]

Fresh installs right now are having issues connecting and syncing from scratch because the dns seednodes that were originally used are either no longer functioning, or are STILL running the old version. There are actually a lot of nodes still on the old version.

having addnodes in the conf file will work around this problem
