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

OK, look, something needs to be done about the wallet. There is no excuse for those problems. I am not a coder, so what I am about to say may get some people upset. This coin is supposed to be for the masses, right? All of these other coins require no extra coding to get it to "configure" (yeah, that word alone should really attract mass adoption!). If you hit DOGE wallet on their website (and lots of others, but I am using DOGE as an example of a mass adopted coin) a wallet hits your screen and you are ready to go there is no "extracting", "configuring", "roaming" or coding involved in the process. If all of the other coins (seemingly) can do it, why can’t Mint? Again, I am not a coder, but can’t one just copy what all of the other coins did and do the same for Mint? Is the Mint wallet so different from all of the others. What -- is Barack Obama running this coin!?

This community seems really good, but you can just tell from these boards that it is losing steam. I am glad that there is awareness that the website sucks and it sounds like some great people are working to fix that. The logo is only ok. It looks unfinished -- The “M” is an abstract that looks like a blob. An argument can be made for its artistic qualities, but again, we are going for the masses right? So, while artistic is one argument, another might be amateurish.

The so-called developers need to stop whatever they are doing and address the crowd. Take a deep breath and let us know precisely what is going on. It is unfortunate that they are overwhelmed at the moment, but they must come forward. It is fantastic that some in the community are working to help this coin, but outside of the mining and coding people (but, I may be repeating myself there!) there is very little for this coin to offer. They need to tell us the plan and how far they have come to reaching their goals. It is difficult to get behind a coin and promote it when one has to explain how to code a freaking wallet for crying out loud! This may surprise some of you programmers out there, but some people who are perfectly capable of learning how to do some basic coding… don’t want to! Just as you may not want to learn how to fix a broken toilet , for example-- you just want it to work. If your plumber requires you to know the details of your pipe “configuration” within your house, you may move on to another plumber.

Coins that rely on the community only are difficult to get going. The miners will soon be gone from these boards, for the most part, and then what? Yes, it is possible that it succeeds, but the environment is changing. Coins are coming out by the bucket loads. And the pattern is the same for most of them. The early miners with computer farms and AMD 7950 cards flood the forum with “enthusiasm”. Once the mining becomes a bit slower, they stick around just long enough to try to pump up the coin as they sell. Then -- ghost town.

You can all pile on me for being critical and not staying “positive” and not “promoting”, but the facts are the facts. Could mint accidentally hit a DOGE coin-like wave with the way things currently stand? Yeah, maybe, but things would have to go just perfectly (with a little luck thrown in). Far more likely in this massive coin release wave, we will all be washed out to sea.

If the developers are not fully committed to this coin, then hire some who are -- maybe from this very forum. And, if they think that just squirreling away in the back room on super-duper ideas is all it is going to take, then they are delusional. If they are too busy, then get somebody who can interact with the community to relay to us what is going on.

This post is too long and I could go on, but you get the idea. I want Mint to succeed. But, it is important to remember that the life span for a lot of these coins is growing shorter and shorter all of the time. This is a critical time for Mint.
