Wow thanks for doing this. I didnt knew that this is possible via github. I hope they update it in OP.
The use of Github & many other coding sites can be utilized for many things, which the future of coding is quickly growing to become one of the top fields as of 2015 (machines don't funtion without code). All depends on if you're the type of person to want to know whats behind the graphics, sound, etc.. of things (websites, GUI or UI = user interface)? This is the one thing open source has that inspires me, as it does many people around the world & seeing what it takes to build these interfaces P.S. I have helped many OP's, MINT being for the keepod kid charity & cryptomommy was very kind to let me join trello (that should be in the OP?). I did let her know a few weeks ago that I would be offline for a while, but just thought I'd help with the small update of the OP.

Most financial advisors will recommend a diversified portfolio.
Warren Buffet says to put all your eggs in one basket and watch over that basket. I would agree.
A diversified Portfolio delivers comfort, but a concentrated portfolio, in the hands of a savvy investor, can produce exceptionally excellent results.
Most great investors pursue a strategy of owning large amounts of relatively few stocks (or Cryptos).
Buffet's top 5 holdings made up 76% of his total portfolio.
Most investors annually flip, rather than holding for the long-term, many years.
Claude Shannon racked an annual return of 28%. That's better than Warren Buffet. How did he do it?
Shannon's approach to investing was simple. ..He was a buy and hold fundamentalist.
When he died, researchers found his 3 largest positions made up 98% of his portfolio, and nearly 80% of his account was in a single stock..
So much for diversification.
Shannon explained, that he never in 30 years attempted to "balance" the portfolio. At this time he was 70 years old.
An interesting book to read if you want to learn more about Shannon's story, is William Poundstone's, Fortune's Formula.
Let this be an encouragement to all you MINT holders out there. A word of caution.... A focused portfolio means it will. Be more volatile. For great investors this is no concern. . ..They take on that price volatility in the short run in exchange for better returns in the long run. Go for the long haul. I don't care about performance relative to the next 6 months....not saying it doesn't hurt, possibly feeling it in the short term, but, it is the only way unless you want to dismantle a sound set of investing principles.
Instead of owning 50 or 100 cryptos, try to pare that list down to the best ideas, and hold them longer. There are cycles to everything. If something is down, or up, it doesn't mean it will stay constantly up, or constantly down.
I think Mintcoin is a great idea. I love the name and what it stands for and represents. Great investment returns come from portfolios made up of a few stocks (or few Cryptos), held for a long time. And over time these positions come to dominate the portfolio.
Just wanted to share this insight with the Mintcoin community. I think Mintcoin is going to be great in years to come. Hope this point of view can help you see financially....
Thanks. Blessings, Flyskyhigh!

time to check out my side investments of my altcoin crypto portfolio i dont full agree with z Flyskyhigh investing in a lot coins can make sence if u invest in 10 potential x20 value raise coins if only 1 of them make it u already x2 ur investment and the chanced that the other 9 not colapse to zero value is high to so realistic is x3 after a bit learning i think most people will be able dedect longterm crypto coins like MINT and DMD and see the difference between them and the endless coins that rise each month and die 3 months later so i suggest a well split investment in a lot longterm active coins to reduce risc and increase chances u bet on the right horse stay away of fresh coins with IPO and premine.............. i myself even if logical have most investment in DMD as core team member still have like 25% of my investment split between a lot other longterm altcoins i dont invest in BTC/LTC because they have lowest chance to x20 they have already a high value they can if thing go great x5 maybe but not x20 and good altcoin rasise together with btc anyway to u profit from a btc raise without hold BTC and people we all know why we hold MINT or DMD or similar longterm POS coins because we love to earn value even of our coin value stay just stable towards BTC because we earn POS rewards

It's one of the core principles of Benjamin Graham: "A stock (crypto) is not just a ticker symbol or an electronic blip; it is an ownership interest (stake) in an actual business (currency), with an underlying value that does not depend on its share price." I don't care too much for the current price of MINT either since I believe that the coin is one of the very best alternatives for Bitcoin out there. With the right marketing efforts MINT could easily be one of the "big guys" since it is, in my opinion, far superior to many, if not all, of the altcoins out there. "You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em"

He was not bullied out - he was asked for transparency on the pre-mine as it was supposed to be used for supporting the community. He took the majority of the pre-mine out as payment to himself and then no longer had time to commit to the project when it ran out. https://github.com/MintcoinCommunity/Mintcoin-Desktop-Wallet/commits/master?page=3All other initial developers left the lead developer 3 months in and the last standing developer gave up and cashed out as payment to himself for his work. He was gracious enough to hand down the assets to the community for continual improvement. The "original dev" is actually one of a many just handed down in an anonymous manor. Now we are open and transparent. The podcasts are there to keep the community informed. This is also a tool I use to recruit. Thanks to community donations I almost have enough to register Mintcoin Fund as a Non-Profit here in Wisconsin in the next coming months. The community also donated towards an android wallet and hundreds of dollars towards the keepod campaign. You are right though from one aspect.... We need more volunteers. Right now the following continual efforts are being managed through donations: - Graphics design - Hosting - Web maintenance - Press Releases - Business Integration - Bitcoin Talk Announcement Updates - Reddit Updates - Facebook Moderators - Twitter Supporters - Reddit Supporters / Technical Support - Mintcoin Official Moderation Up until a month ago we also had the wallet and android development support donated by RoboGuy. He unfortunately is tied back up and will not be able to participate in development until his current project is completed. I do not see you as a Fudster. You have genuine concerns and feel it is pertinent to share them. That's awesome. The crypto community needs people to to ask questions. Way too many newbies out there getting burned. I also believe that if you have these questions so do others - I am happy to share what I know with anyone.

Try contacting other coin developers like Peercoin's "Sunny King", and ask them if they know of any other dev they would recommend. I would try to talk with Novacoin's "Balthazar" as I think a lot of Mintcoin's code stems from that coin, with the exception that MINT is full POS and there has been changes since. Maybe he would consider helping out. Just a thought.

Just out of curiosity, about how long until his current project is completed? Is he planning to be back after that?

Just out of curiosity, about how long until his current project is completed? Is he planning to be back after that? I am not sure how long the project is running; however he did say until the project is over - reading between the lines it does suggest that he may be back once he has completed it.

Its a start. People are acting individually. What we need is a collective push. We need a full time PR person who can highlight our partnerships & achievements so investors come in. Lots going on in the background that people dont know and thus no investment is happening.
