Been running mintcoind for a good month now.

What I noticed is that it hogs my cpu and bandwith.

This spams 24/7 through the log:

Code:

getblocks 873494 to 00000000000000000000 limit 500
  getblocks stopping at limit 873993 a8cb9ddf09d7ed0e288c

The debug.log is soon gonna be larger than the blockchain itself

Code:

I am getting over a TB of monthly (upload) traffic since I installed this node. (before it was around 200GB with multiple other coin nodes running).

I am running version "v2.0.2.0" (which is the latest one I believe).

I doubt there are soooo many clients bootstraping to the network all the time that they eat so much of my bandwidth. I am running other wallets on the server (most with a bigger networks/blockchains and none of them are doing this) It looks more like some older outdated clients requesting the same blocks over and over.

Can anyone give a solution for this? Otherwise I am shutting this down and sell the coins I guess.

Cheers

Interesting, my debug.log is 24 MB.

[NoculaR]

My debug log is only 8MB. Are you talking about the txleveldb folder, or the actual debug.log text file?

What operating system are you running?

Have you tried restarting the client?

Have you tried turning off the client and deleting the debug log, then restarting?

How did you originally download the blockchain? ...From scratch or from snapshot, or from bootstrap?

I think the upload traffic is probably normally high because of a new block syncing every 30 seconds, right? Maybe someone else knows more about this, just trying to help.

[NoculaR]

Been looking at my debug log. It seems to add almost 5Mb per day to the text file.

What does this message mean?

"Flushing wallet.dat"

Just did a Google search.  There are a decent amount of related links.  Here's one of them...

It was synced from scratch.

The os is ubuntu server 14.04.

I think that is not normal. A block is usually under a kilobyte. Even if there was a block every second it would not amount to such traffic.

But anyway, I shut down the node. It was not worth it...

I run about 10 coin nodes on this server (including bitcoin with a 90gb blockchain), this kind of thing never happend with any of the other coins.

Work continues in the background on the mint wallet along with other mint projects.  While I'd also like development to move faster, I understand that we are a community based coin run by volunteers.  Translations are always welcome but there is not a budget in place for such projects.  Google translate is a more cost effective solution then paid translations.
While I'd love to discuss projects we have planned in more detail, the current team has agreed that we don't do pre-announcements.  Such discussions can facilitate speculation and unreasonable expectations.
We don't have ICO or pre-mine money.  We don't have corporate backing or a hype machine.  But we do have a lightning fast, working coin, with a friendly atmosphere of transparency that anyone can participate in.

Stay FRESH my friends.

Chinese Traders are dumping Mintcoin , without them , Mintcoin can't hold a BTC market for long.

BTER      MINT/CNY    $0    $0.000027    
BTER      MINT/BTC    $0    $0.000025    

We should all move our buy support down to 1 sat to try and hold mint in the BTC markets.
Otherwise LTC & Dogecoin markets will be Mintcoin's new home.

Where are you seeing a dump?  How do you know it's a Chinese dump?  Volume at China's Bter exchange has been flat for a while.

Why would everyone move their orders to 1 when it's currently holding between 4-6 on most exchanges with volume?

[Flyskyhigh]

Nevermind that guy. I think he is a troll. As I recall last year he was saying similar stuff too, trying to get everyone to abandon the coin and dump everything low.

Better to keep the coins out of the hands of the pump and dumpers imo.

I have seen some moderate selling lately, but nothing that is unreasonable to see. More coins are probably being minted each month than the prior month until the halving, so it's bound to put some sell pressure. I will keep holding, and minting.  



Additionally, from this it doesn't appear to me China would have a very large impact on Mintcoin. From a multiplicity of users standpoint. Of course we don't know how many coins they have though.

[Buy$Polar]

Calling me a troll is pointless,
Since Poloniex left the only thing holding Mintcoin up has been the Chinese Buyers,
They are dumping a little bit at a time , so the clueless don't catch on in time to lower their bids.
Mintcoin has no volume since Poloniex dumped it.
Today's Chart
1    BTER   MINT/BTC    $83    $0.000026    84.18%

Notice the Chinese Markets are selling at a much lower price.
A pitiful $83 is 84% of your daily volume, drop your bids to 1 sat if you want to stay in the BTC markets , or be prepared to languish in the LTC & Doge Markets before mintcoin dies a painful death.

Marketcap dropped to $663,094 , it is just the beginning, there are no more big players supporting mintcoin , Poloniex, ShapeShift , and now the Chinese are all dropping Mintcoin , marshal your remaining strength at 1 sat or lose everything.

When I checked the altex exchange market link from the OP it doesn't go to a bitcoin market. Altex might have removed that market and moved mint into the litecoin markets.

http://altex.ws/Market/?Pair=MINT/BTC

This link for a MINT/LTC altex market works. The MINT/BTC altex link in the OP should be replaced with this one if there's no altex bitcoin market any longer.

proper link for MINT/BTC trading on altex.ws is http://altex.ws/Market/trade/?Pair=MINT/BTC

it is still active, but thanks for pointing out that the link in the OP is incorrect. I'll ping Ursay to update it

MINT now traded directly against PIGGY at NovaExchange!

[Flyskyhigh]

What can we do to get these exchanges listed on mintcoin's markets page of coinmarketcap.com? I would like to be able to quickly check the prices and trade activity of all these trading pairs and exchanges. Is it because most of these are rather new, low volume exchanges that they are not being listed?  Or, Does anyone know of an alternative way to easily check all the MINT markets, or maybe a different site that would list and track them?

[MintyAllDay]

I deposited funds at BtcPop to test their on exchange minting/staking.  After only one day I received a distribution for coins held.  Not bad.  This isn't an endorsement of BtcPop.co but rather a verification of functionality.  Minted coins show up at btcpop.co/Alt-Statement

This could be a solution for users who want to stake but are unable to run their own wallet.  Keep in mind, you will need to trust BtcPop while your coins are in their possession.

Stay minty fresh my friends.
