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

Probably helps if there is volume on it when they take it into consideration. Just a guess though.

So are you saying that btcpop will payout a mintcoin dividend after just 1 day of holding coins there?  What APR % were you getting? Does it matter if you are trading with them like in order book, or do they have to be free and available? Sorry for all the questions just trying to understand.

In my case, yes, I received a dividend after only 1 day.  I can't tell you if the coins need to be available as I never added them to an order book.  My goal was to only confirm their on-exchange minting was working and I did not take my tests much further.  My funds at BtcPop have since been mostly removed because I prefer being in control of my own coins rather then completely trusting an exchange.  Minting percentage received for my first payout was 0.0015129722104421492%.  I've left a very small amount of coins in the exchange which some might call dust.  Those coins have given me a second on-exchange minting at 0.0024577843750523%.

On Pop it is setup that you will mint coins deposited in your account as well as any coins in your order book that remain unsold. By my calculation it seems Pop is taking a 2% cut of all minted coins which in my opinion is exceptionally generous!

Wow cool. Sounds like a good exchange for mintcoin. Is it popular?
Why isn't it listed on coinmarketcap.com?

If they take 2% of what you mint that seems pretty fair considering most other exchanges don't allow you to mint at all. What are the trading fees? I only looked at the website briefly in the past it seemed like I couldn't find out much of anything unless I registered.

[MintyAllDay]

What are the trading fees?

BtcPop's stated on site chat that exchange fees are 0.25%

Anybody have a good reason why Mintcoin is at 5 sats right now? Did something happen while I was not paying attention?

I think this is a great coin and have been holding and buying more since the beginning.

Poloniex and ShapeShift removed MINT.  Since then we've been added to multiple new exchanges.

There hasn't been much news lately but work continues on multiple fronts in the background.  

See the history thread for more details.

I think these exchanges don't get it with Mintcoin and similar coins that give interest. We don't sell 'em because they earn money every 20 days. So yeah, there's not a ton of action on Mint......... But to de-list a coin like Mint with a great history. Come on!!!!!!!

BTW, thanks for the history thread.

I agree. By the way, does anyone know the exact block number at which point the halving will be in December?

Guys,

My wallet is fully synced, has a number of blocks 22 days old, but still reports no mature coins 



Any ideas?

Thanks!

if you're still having the issue, can you please hover over the check mark and report the block it currently is on?

[crzybilly]

I'm now on block 3059194

current block 3059234

also can you look at debug.log and see what it says in there?

[Flyskyhigh]

Are you sure it's over 20 days since last minting? Last minting or transaction would have to have been around October 10th or earlier.

[Trimegistus]

Problem solved! Just had to wait a little longer...

i can say pop is trusting  with the new owner i have used the site for about a year now and i have been minting/ staking coins for the time they have started it about 3 weeks ago and i say it is really good for people with small amounts as well as people that want to use a staking pool..

Do they have any forms of technical analysis or charts to view on MINT? How 's the trading engine and platform?

Mint drops to the Final 5% interest rate in ~13 days.

Thank you for the heads up, kiklo!

I had the old wallet from a long time ago and updated to the latest but with both there is no connections available to update the blocks?

You should only be using 2.0.2 which is the most current wallet.  My wallet is currently running and has 9 connections.  How long have you left the wallet running for?  It should grab some connections if you let it run a bit.

If you were running an extremely old wallet (aka, pre-fork) then you are likely on an invalid forked chain with transactions that are in conflict with the rest of the network. In these cases, when your new wallet tries to connect to another peer, it attempts to send it's blocks/transactions out, which get rejected and lead your client to be banned.

Banns are per-peer and default to 24 hours, and will be refreshed any time your client attempts to relay invalid blocks/transactions.


If this sounds like what is happening, your only recourse is to export your private key, nuke your mintcoin data directory, start fresh and finally import your private key into the fresh wallet.
