How do you calculate the PoS reward? Is it daily?

Mintcoin is still relatively easy to mine: http://mint.majorminers.com/

Once you do, store some in your wallet - send the rest to Mintpal to get some BTC.

One of the easiest ways to get BTC, really is to mine Mintcoin!

Ok, so here is my current problem. I had 400K mintcoins I bought that were suppose to be delivered to a 'receive address' of the wallet version that will never synch for me. Can I still download this 'New' mintcoin wallet and will it save my previously created deposit addresses? Or do I have to fix my wallet before downloading new one, in order to keep the coins that I 'bought' but never received due to synching issues?

Thanks for any insight on this issue.

Backup your wallet.dat file and then upgrade and your old address should import.

[ClausPOLO]

you can download this new wallet and run it, after sync you will have you coin.
IMPORTANT : DON'T DELETE the folder where is the wallet.dat (app data/roaming/mintcoin).

For more security you start your old wallet (1.2) and make a backup of it. Then download and open zip files with 1.3. start it and sync. Shouldn't be problems, but backup is strongly reccomended.


Or you can add this node list to your config, sync and then save the backup.

After 5 weeks, the PoW payout will be fixed at 1 coin per block.

This is one of the few coins that actually benefits from ASIC.  A small amount of people running USB Scrypt ASIC (I guess they'll come eventually) for a couple of watts a day help maintain network transactions along with the PoS method.  Anyone running a supernode would probably be doing such a thing since it's not really much of a hassle.

I'm not a stake expert, but the only thing that worries me is, on Hobonickels for instance, having lots of people stake causes high stake difficulty, which also increases PoW difficulty.  I'm not sure if this is intended by design, or if the two should be unlinked somehow.  Hopefully PoW difficulty doesn't affect PoS difficulty for this coin, if so, running a Scrypt ASIC to help keep the network up for 0 rewards would effectively be griefing the stake holders, even if your intentions were good to help the network.  

If PoW and PoS difficulty are required to be linked, then running a PoW algorithm suited for CPUs only would probably be the best choice.

TLDR version:  If PoS and PoW difficulty have to be linked for whatever reasons, the PoW algorithm needs to avoid ASIC.  If they are unlinked, ASIC is beneficial for this coin in particular.

Maybe someone else who knows more about proof of stake systems can comment.

This works for me on ubuntu 64bit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/itn8svn8m1a9a5r/mintcoin-qt.zip

If not working, try running this first in terminal and then run wallet:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost1.48-all-dev

Can't believe this is still so cheap at 4 satoshi. I just converted a good number of some of the crappy coins I've recently mined into 5M of MintCoin. That'll be my core holding plus whatever more I can mine in the next 4 weeks.

Agreed, and great choice!

[jany8293]

The price on Mintpal for Mintcoin is just 4 satoshi, really a good time to buy in, I just increased my stock, so happy

[Ferris419]

I bought 2million at 6sat each cause I didn't honestly think the price would stay low for long..... Thinking about buying another 10mill or so while they are low just can't decide which coins I want to sell yet lol

You guys must check this wonderful Mintcoin project!  http://imgur.com/GoAYr2E

Yep I agree. Its cheaper here to just buy directly plus whatever you can continue to mine, convert from all the coins etc. Remember block reward halving yet again in a few days

[kopam]

just got 5 mil at 4 satoshi, feeling happy
