Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Cryptopia won't allow MINT withdrawals...
Anyone know what's going on?
Cryptopia has just migrated to a new data centre. Give them some time to get all their wallets back up. Has this withdrawal issue been resolved? Yes. It appears that this issue has been resolved. Withdrawals should be working now. Please notify if not. |

What do you guys think of the market activity, and prices lately? I know BTC has been on the rise and has been pulling the USD value of MINT up along with it. As a result, MINT is somewhere between 2-3 satoshis but this is a very big spread, so it is difficult for price discovery. It basically means we have to use LTC or DOGE to test the waters. But it's not like there are tons of coins on the exchanges anyway, so the prices could really go any direction quite easily.

A more abundant supply of new and improved Mint Cards at a much lower price point will allow new users to enter the eco-system without the need for a hardware wallet. Also consider that more then half of the supply will go to CoinFestUK 2017 attendees which may or may not have had ANY interaction with MINT. I expect to see some new community members around the time that those cards are distributed. Some of you may have seen another crypto market recently which is based on digital trading cards. They've used a lot of ideas that I've mentioned around Mint Cards and their market is thriving. Considering this, I think we're headed in a positive direction. And speaking of Mint Cards...they'll be in my hands TOMORROW. Once they're received I'll start on assembly. I'll also start considering discounted pre-orders. If anyone has concepts for future cards or would like to contribute in any manner, now is a good time to communicate your ideas. I'd love to hear from you. I'm excited to continue expanding and developing the Mint Shop including the addition of new plant seeds. In the future I expect to offer seeds from some of my own personal, robust plants for a cost lower then anything currently offered in the shop. Testing continues on the new wallet. We're very lucky to have such committed devs that see the long vision. The current team has been committed to MINT for some time now and we have a great working relationship. I believe mint is a hidden gem. Time will tell. Stay minty my friends.  |

I think we all believe that MINT is a hidden gem, but right now all we are is a bunch of bag holders. I've believed in this coin since day 1, and mined some of the first blocks 3 years ago, but we need to get this coin used and less holding. I've watched it land on the biggest exchanges and now it barely has life on the smallest exchange. We are on the verge of moving to a permanent LTC/MINT pairing and at that point, we all know how hard it is to get it back to BTC. In fact, I've never seen it happen.
We have great devs here and a community thats willing to help this coin grow, but what it really needs is a place to be spent and circulated, put back into a viable exchange and the retailers can convert back to BTC or whichever they prefer. Once we lose the BTC pairing, it's lights out.
Sorry for the negativity lately, but it sucks watching this coin go from what it was, where it was going, and where it is today.

I entered this community much later then you as I never mined mint. While many would like to see more volume on this coin, my question to an OG community member is, what are your solutions? How are you working to solve this issue? You call yourself a bag holder. Why are you holding when you think the coin should be spent? Have you considered doing some transactions? If no then why? Have you suggested a product or service you'd like to purchase with mint? Mint will become what the active community members want it to be. You don't have to be a dev or part of the team to contribute. On a side note...some preview images of the new Mint Cards were released on the Slack channel today.  |

I never mined MINT either. The reason I got into it was as a mining replacement. So far I must say it is doing quite nicely. It is basically identical in my mind to mining. You are guaranteed 5% if you have any sizeable balance. Throw down 1 BTC and generate 0.05 BTC per year, assuming stable exchange rate. Exchange rate always fluctuate depending on market sentiment and other coins pumping or dumping so that's impossible to know how it will be in a year and where equilibrium is on the exchange rate, I'm not sure. The difference between minting and mining is those who are miners need to do transactions with their coins in order to reinvest in mining gear to keep up with difficulty. With minting you don't need to do transactions by trading your coins in order to keep your minting up. With MINT, the Sellers are actually selling minting power. Mintcoin is all about buying and selling minting power. I think it is a great idea. Maybe others don't. I have been wondering about wallet updates, how are they progressing?

I used to own MINT a long time ago...I think crypto world is so fast that it will just fade away...nice words though |

I don't think there is a solution, that's part of my point. I'm a bag holder because it is encouraged to MINT my coins. I get my 5% by keeping coins X amount of days untouched in my wallet but 5% of zero is zero. If I were to move them, it would not be for any kind of product because it's not an option. It would be to an exchange, to change to BTC, to another altcoin in hopes of riding their waves, then back to BTC. Wash, rinse, repeat until the exchange closes and steals yo shit. The MINT cards are a great idea for those that like to collect things, beyond that it doesn't have any appeal to me unfortunately. I'll show myself out |

 You do realize that $360 worth of MINT, gives you $0.05 per day, or 0.00003846 BTC per day. You know how much mining gear you would need to invest in to get that? |
Stop Mining. Start Minting. Mintcoin [MINT]
5% annual minting reward. Mintcoins don't wear out like mining gear. They keep on minting!

I prob spent more than that each day keeping my PC powered on minting. Regardless, I know it will go up now since I sold so you're welcome! I just hope you guys never get to an LTC market. And just for reference, $360 in hash power gets me this daily without electricity cost...   |

I have a spreadsheet I used to calculate with; it has all the variables to break it down over time. I haven't taken a comparison lately though. Makes me curious. Looks like you're renting the hashpower? How long (how many hours) total were you able to rent it for at that hashrate? Just a rough estimate, but you need to mine back somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.27 BTC just to break even. |

Its a lifetime contract for $349 US. 2.5 T hashrate. It mined 0.028 BTC in FEB. It keeps me involved if anything since my miners have gone the wayside.
Regardless, I wish the best for Mintcoin. It was the only altcoin I actually held.

Cloud mining thru a third party? Paying up front and expecting to recoup those costs over a period of time? |

Cloud mining thru a third party? Paying up front and expecting to recoup those costs over a period of time? Yep. It's gone pretty well considering there is so much negativity around cloud mining. I know all the "you never get your money back", "SCAMS" stuff but I've never had issues and I believe I made a fair amount of BTC given my hashrate. It will take ~18 months to break even with the price where it is at. I did this instead of buying BTC because I expect BTC to increase exponentially over time and I'd rather get BTC coming consistently. If I have .3 BTC and price moves to $2k USD, I'll be well up and still getting rewards each day. (Yes I know network hash will increase as price does, etc) Also, as a Canadian it's not as easy as you think to get fiat into BTC. There are a few sites but outrageous fees. |
