Have you tried using the current snapshot for a quick sync?

Their is a flaw in the Mintcoin wallet ,
this flaw was only introduced in the latest wallet updates the last devs made.

For some reason, if your wallet has coins in it and you are a few weeks behind, it has a large amount of traffic congestion.
Does not matter if your wallet is locked.

The only way I have seen to bypass this flaw, is to rename your wallet.dat to wallet.keep
, then let mintcoin create an empty wallet and the mintcoin client will sync normally.
Once you have the wallet synced, close the client, rename wallet.dat to emptywallet.dat and rename wallet.keep to wallet.dat and then start the mint client.
Wallet with coins works normally if kept in sync or only a few blocks behind.

If you only mint once a month or so , you have to go thru that wallet renaming everytime, until new devs fix the flaw introduced in the code by the last batch of devs.  


 

FYI:
Use a Snapshot , if your wallet has not been synced in over 6 months, it will be faster.

Hi guys

I am a super novice at all this altcoin business. I made a bit of money from 5 Litecoins over the last week, and decided to use some of it to buy Mintcoin through Cryptopia because the concept sounded legitimate and promising. 

And then downloaded the v2 Mintcoin wallet on my Mac and transferred all my Mintcoins to it.

The problem is that I had not waited for my wallet to synch before making the transfer. And the transfer is reaaaaaallly slow. So this raises a few questions:

1) how much disk space does synching the Mintcoin wallet take?
2) apparently the MintCoin Snapshot is means to be quicker, and I am downloading it now.  But will that have a different address than the wallet I originally transferred my Mintcoins to? How do I make sure my address stays the same so I actually receive the icy fresh Mint.
3) will I receive my Mintcoins?!

Sorry if some of these questions have been answered. Again, I have ZERO knowledge in altcoins, and it seems that I got involved in Mintcoins which requires an advanced understanding of these things. 

Much peace

I tried everything and it goes to 78% then back down to 57%.

I don't have any coins in the wallet, it's on exchange collecting dust...I'll retry. Thanks.

1. Roughly 5GB
2. Addresses are on wallet.dat and is separated from snapshot. (Backup wallet.dat!)
3. Yes as long as the transaction has been confirmed.

Thanks for these useful answers.  I finished downloading the Snapshot. It's folder that contains the following files:

blk0001.dat
blk0002.dat
db.log
log.0000000038
txleveldb folder with a bunch of .sst files

I have no clue what to do with all this    Sorry, I am that much of a novice at this. So how do I use these files to synchronise my wallet more quickly? I thought I would just download the Snapshot and press a magic install button.

I love the developer of this coin but since I can sync my wallet, I'll have to dump it and move on to a working coin and wallet....

If you need support we can help if you provide more details about the issue and what steps you've taken to troubleshoot.

The wallet is working and syncs without issue for most users.

Thanks, Warren. You're a good man. It's working (!) I went from 7% to 97%.

Incidentally, Leilo - please don't dump them Mints. They seem fresher than Menthos.  Power to the people (!)

Whats the easiest way to contact fuzzbawls, he might remember me from IRC a while back. I'm writing a test block explorer for mintcoin just to see if I understand it all correctly and I have a couple of technical questions.

[cryptohunter]

edit see a real dev is working on it

You can contact him through github or pivx. He developed Pivx wallet...

Guys  -out of curiosity - am I the only absolute novice on this forum? I mean, I still don't even understand Crypto very well, and I have no clue what proof of stake actually means. All I know is that fiat currencies are eventually going to crumble because it's artificially maintained in spite of debt and incessant printing of money.
