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

[nequaquamvacui]

Would be shame if we would let this one die.
At least the concept is slightly innovative and the coins' name is good.
The launch was fair, I could mine it from the start without any issues. I don't see the 1%, 700 mil pre-mine as such a big deal.

Other coins that were perceived as scams by the community with messed up launches are now relatively successful, see Max, see quark etc.
Dev just needs to adress the issues and hire someone to get a decent marketing going for this coin.

I Love the idea behind this coin, with the fast PoW to PoS transition. If things dont improve I'm thinking on getting a group of DEVS together and launching an alternative coin with the same features.

Couldn't you just takeover MintCoin?

Mintcoin is not going anywhere guys.  It is a GREAT coin, and a great idea.   The devs are just overloaded with work!   Look how active they are twitter, making info graphics, helping to spread the word around, plus deal with all the other work.

Give the devs some slack and credit.   Please donate to them and this process can go a bit smoother.  They need to eat too.

As I said: 115 pages in 10 days. Coin is healthy.

Can someone recommend a good pool to me. Not finding a good one and its frustrating
Thanks

[Alakazam2000]

I can't stand those trolls screaming "OMFG THIS COIN IS DEAD 1 BIL BTC SELL ORDERS 0,5 BTC BUY ORDERS OMFG OMFG NO DEV OMFG"

This is a freakin 9 days old coin, what the hell do you expect? Man, just chill!

This is a freakin 9 days old coin, what the hell do you expect? Man, just chill!

Basically other coin fanboys saying anything to destroy coin faith.

People use your brains, this coin is not in demand yet simply because its not POS yet.  Go look at the first 100 pages of another POS coin and see the shit they had to go through.

1) This is quite possibly the smoothest launch of any coin.
2) You can mine another coin while this builds.
3) A decent exchange with the same name coincidently? Www.mintpal.com
4) A Dev that avoids the trolls as he should instead of flame wars.

Really, I'm all in here.  I'd even put down a 2 BTC bet that April 1st. This coin will be sitting pretty at 250+ Satoshi

Every single thread on here has someone screaming that nonsense. Very annoying!

I totally agree, I dont really know if this coin will hit 250+ satoshi but I am sure that who got in early will get some nice profit

[David Latapie]

Can the wallet binaries be configured to ship with basic config having the right nodes so users dont have to mess with it?

+1, it would help increase user adoption (as for source code, an example config could be added too, as mastercoin did).

This coin has a large trade volume considering it's not even a couple of weeks old, the dev's need to concentrate on getting the other bits in place and the price will increase substantially.

Better yet: increase the size of the team. Make a public call for designers, coder, user experience (UX) specialist... I am sure you'd find more than one person willing to help.

[David Latapie]

There are, +60 BTCs on sale orders, and only 8 BTCs on buy orders.

How do you get this information?

[hvezdasmrti]

Just look at trading charts. Now there is NO buypower at all. My rebuy sitting at 1 satoshi 

[amdfxman1701]

Man, some people are simply so impatient. This coin has only been out a little over week, give or take. Be patient with the devs. As long as we see that they are still moving, things are good.

[David Latapie]

Edit: I'm adding voluntees, see below

To have my fait restored in this coin I wiil need:

- Know the exact number of pre-mined coins and how they will be used.
- Get a new client that just works.
- New website and forum

Steban, I propose something: everyone who would be OK with lending a hand to the dev says so. Write down "I'm in for assisting the" in a post and I will update the post accordingly. Preferably, say what you are good at (and like to do)  also.

Help can be of various kind:
- community management (volunteer: ShibeonBarkmont)
- commercial agreements with merchants
- marketing
- documentation
- webdesign
- translation
- development
- management (volunteer: David Latapie)

So who is in to help make mintcoin kick ass?

Then I will contact the dev with a list of volunteers.

Remember: this coin has the highest traffic on mintpal, even more than Panda (granted, Panda is very new on mintpal). Also, mintcoin has a catchy name, an exchange which happens to sound the same (it is a coincidence, but let's capitalize on it), half the pages of noblecoin in quarter the time AND it is not yet on coinmarketcap or cryptsy.
I say this coin only need a bigger team. That's where you come into play.

So much crying in this thread from people complaining that they aren't millionaires after buying a coin that's been out for 9 days.  It doesn't even matter if the developer gets run over by a bus and dies.  That's what open source is, development will continue.  If he disappears, I will help continue work on it, although I know a lot more about PoW than PoS.  

The only worry I have about working with this coin are things like INT64 rollover issues, which I'm not sure if it even has any affect.  There's always workarounds to problems like that anyway.  Worst case scenario would just be forking it and removing a couple decimal places.  Like I said, I'm not completely knowledgeable on PoS systems yet.

But yea, worst case scenario, developer dies, I steal Hobonickels wallet for coin control, add mint pictures, remove decimal places, done.

I don't understand why people are panicking...you get interest from the PoS. It only makes sense that you don't sell all of your MINT and that it's designed for long term holding.

The problems with network seems to be related with UPNP. It seems that UPNP support is not compiled into the binary due to some missing lines in mintcoin-qt.pro file (comparing it with lemoncoin's). The UPNP checkbox in Options is disabled, and if you're behind a router, noone can connect you. (I don't know about Windows binaries though, I didn't test them, I'm using the sources released at launch)

You can get a lot more connections to the network by configuring port forwarding on your router, on port TCP/12788. I currently have 94 connections to the network, 91 of them are inbound (meaning they connect using the port forwarding)

Hope devs fix the UPNP issue, it would relieve the network.
