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

[deadmanwalking]

Bitcoin development is headed by Gavin Andresen, Litecoin by Charles Lee, Dogecoin by Jackson Palmer.  Say what you want about these coins, at least their developers are willing to associate their real names with the projects.

The developer\inventor of bitcoin goes by the name Satoshi and is anonymous.

Satoshi hasn't been involved with Bitcoin since 2010.  Development is currently headed by Gavin Andresen.  If the shit hits the fan with Bitcoin, as it did with the recent "transaction malleability" problems, people don't look to Satoshi for accountability, they look to Gavin.

Whatever you say, so I guess we should all sell our bitcoin because the developer bailed. Also, what development? Bitcoin is a mature coin, having been mined for 3 years.

I am still holding on, remember every Crypto currency goes through this phrase and then comes back bouncing. bitcoin reached $32 before crashing back down to $2. As far as I can see most of the 'shitcoins' like aurora coin are bouncing up so if some of you dumbfks wanna go to those coins noones stopping you. But remember that everything has its ups and downs and it is unjust to accuse the devs for nothing. You have to factor in the whales who also want to get in making smart moves that cause them to double or triple their money. Phillip VDwindle I saw your message with the devs but we beleive in Karma could also mean that "what comes up goes down" and vice versa. Remember that the devs are doing a lot of development and we must not lose faith in them (Im counting my lifesaving on you guys). unlike wolong they have a plan. The premine justifies their point because even they have to live its not like they live in a hut. They have a family like all of you. When this coin increased 20fold where were you FUDs? Corrections always happen remember Citibank almost died in the 1970s but it is a very top class bank right now.

Maybe you haven't been involved with btc core development team. There are a number of ongoing projects

Citi almost died again in 2009 and required billions in bailout ... but yeah its back now thanks to taxpayer paid bailouts

I don't know why some of you are insulting others, when they ask questions, which should be answered.

Here's the link, where the developer asks about 5 million coins for the MINT/USD exchange https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450381.msg5449463#msg5449463

The 700 million premine wallet shows already 0 coins http://mintcoin-explorer.info/address/MpkWtkFfAUgSumHeTRP1XAW2bGMJQYQ6Ud
The dev might have moved it to different wallets or sold them off, so nobody can track he coins whereabouts.

If you consider PoS a 1% premine is effectively more than 3%. And if you think about the PoW phase, in which only around 20 billion coins are mined, it's even more!

I think the dev used the premine to pump the coin, make some profit and establish his new Mintpal exchange.

Here's my analysis on this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497029.0

Furthermore the dev started trolling:

Time to panic sell. Devs have bailed on us...

Yeah sell everything!

I also sent a pm to mintcointeam regarding the premine, his reaction was very weird.

This is not looking good.

[jany8293]

I came out of lurk-mode and made an account to say that, damn you trolls crack me up. It's funny to think that either your lives are so empty that you have fun doing something so pointless as trolling a coin, or that your strategy is so misled and stupid that you waste your time doing something so pointless as trolling a coin. The cherry on top is that it's YOUR time that you're wasting, not ours. Think about that one for a bit.

Shaking out weak hands, obviously, lol

Thanks for posting. Well, that is indeed fucked up, developers can defend themselves from here on out. Preferably with some action:

New wallet, new merchants, more details, etc...

I didn't spend much to attain the coin I have, but I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for selling at this point.

[PCJargon]

I think the dev used the premine to pump the coin, make some profit and establish his new Mintpal exchange.

It's easy to ignore your whole post when you state info that is misinformed, and been stated a million times that it's not true.

[andyatcrux]

Time to panic sell. Devs have bailed on us...

Correct me if i'm wrong.  The dev's had 700 million coins premine for development/promotions.  They have not accounted for any of this publicly (fine, w/e).  A few posts back they asked for 5 million from the community to get some Mintcoin/USD exchange going.  Basically this says there is no development coin left.  The way I see it, if there is no coin left for development/promotion then they must have been the ones that dumped and killed their own coin for profit.  Try not to flame.  If you see this differently then please logically explain your arguments.

I have sold 3/4 of my coin to pay for the power/time from mining all this.  The last 1/4 I will probably hold onto in case the community continues to adopt this coin as we don't have to worry about the already spent pre-mine destroying the value a second time.

I don't mean to sound all negative here.  This is my personal interpretation of what has happened since this coins launch.

Oh, and on another note, this has also scared me away from 'zeitcoin' after seeing the exact same setup and a 'Minting suspended due to locked wallet' message within their wallet.  Maybe i'm just paranoid.

Well... that's my 2 satoshis on the situation.
 

The wallet suspended message goes back to Peercoin as a POS wallet. That is normal. It is just letting you know you need to unlock the wallet for the minting process to take place. Jeebus people, there is no where near the volume to indicate that a dumping of hundreds of millions of coins has taken place in the last two days. Sell if you all feel the need to, but I strongly recommend you compare the actual development of this coin and the work put into it before comparing it to other coins that ended up as scams. The coin will bounce back after all the weak hands have left the room.

David is not part of the core development team (the OP here). He is part of the community founded dev team, which includes Shibeon (reddit mod), alty (website mod), FX (marketing), all the mintcointalk staff, and more. We don't have access to the premine, but we receive support from the core dev team, including all the giveaways held, bounties paid, and more everytime we ask.

From the OP...

[futile-resistance]

The fun part of all of this is that although mintcoin has dropped in value, it's gone from 22nd to 20th market cap on coinmarketcap. Honestly, it's trade volume looks pretty good.

do not worry I still support you. This is just testing my faith on this coin and please dont put me down. I still havent abandoned on my expectation that this coin will become atleast the minimum 150 satoshis.

[acceptance2]

Mintpal transfer?

I've been waiting about an hour for a transfer from Mintpal to my wallet. Never had a problem before. Anyone else?

[Party Hard]

This forum is so much fun to read! Love the misinformation being spread around, pretty hilarious. The fun thing about Mintcoin is that it won't 'die' unless everyone shuts their wallets down. Sure people might not use it as much as we'd all like in the first 3+ weeks, but we're talking weeks here.

Clearly the more seasoned coiners are holding on to their Mintcoins and waiting to see what happens over the long run. All this short term stuff is good for shitz and gigglez - but that's about it.

Did you remember to confirm through the email?

Well it is just there to clear things up. I believe the core dev team isn't asking for 5M more, they got 1% already. Maybe it's David asking for community funds. Besides, a mintcoin/USD exchange won't happen soon. A CNY exchange is up at bter though.

I do agree though a simple poll would be enough.
