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

Is minting working or are we still waiting for an update or was all that a false alarm?

Some are having problems, although others are not. The dev team is aware and working on it.

So I have tons of transactions that show mined from minting.  I'd say 150+ so far.  However, I have almost 90% of them that show NO confirmations, even 5 days back.  I'm running on latest mint wallet on Mac.  Any ideas why this is?  Is this part of the issues that was being mentioned?

My wallet started Minting Mints yesterday, so it was about 21 days since my first deposit.

Mint wallet v1.4.0.0, Windows 8 64 bit.

Those are orphans, like with pool mining, someone else got to them before you did, it happens.

Generated, not accepted mined.

Got a reply from Mintcoin Staff on my question of coin priority for transfers and how it affects minting: http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,321.0.html

Bottom line, no clear answer yet. I am impressed by the teams responsiveness though. I am sure it will get answered/figured out in due time.

There are still problems.
No official answer from Dev except "we are looking into it".
No request for logs or attempts to troubleshoot on mintcointalk.com either.

What about PoS and change addresses?
I hope you took care of that. I do not want to have my 20 days reset whenever I move a small sum out of my wallet.

Change: If I send, there are usually two target addresses involved. Only one of the two amounts is actually moved out of the wallet to the recipient, the other one is going straight back, into a change address in my wallet. So that 2nd sum has left the wallet yes, but only to end up in it again, within seconds. Imagine there is a 1 mio input from which I spend a 7 MINT output - that results in a second 999,993 MINT output, to my change address, so it ends up back in my wallet.

Still, I fear, the 20 days period is reset for both amounts, right?

As your wallet does not yet support "coin control", I cannot even know which of my existing coin piles are touched. With one tx of 10 MINT, I might destroy 20 days of PoS of 20 billion coins. Am I wrong? If not:

Please hardcode that if outgoing and incoming into change addresses happens, the coin age is preserved. Or it that is not consistent, then:

I suggest, that you (a) lower the 20 days, (b) implement coin control.

mintcoin.cc's Chinese page had been retranslated. This is traditonal Chinese (Taiwan) and not Simplified (China).

Any suggestions on what the best exchange is.. not just for mintcoin as i'm keeping what little i have for now but for all sort of coins, once i point my miner at something else I'd like to start trading and eventually make some £ back so i'm looking for a good exchange and one that will pay out to GBP £ or at least pay out to an international banking number

Hi you are heavy on alt, either cryptsy (raw diversity) or mintpal (half the fees of cryptsy!)

If you are more in bitcoin, Kraken is the best. Except if you insist in avoiding transaction fee. In that case, this would be either Bitstamp (volume and ease of use) or bitcoin-central (fully EU-compliant, apparently the only one).

wat?

Sorry.

If you want to be admin, just PM me.

[mr_random]

Feels like the dev is too busy running their mintpal exchange to put effort into this coin which is a shame.

Nobody cares what you think. Which is why nobody asked for your opinion.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Not just by the developers. Stick around.

We have clearly stated several times that we are not affiliated with Mintpal...
And we are working on merchant acceptance and other things that have yet to be announced in order to give a bright future to this coin.

Also, check out mintcointalk.com. Staff are pretty active there.

Thank you! And it's just the beginning!

An excellent dev and a strong community. It's interesting to see where this coin goes in the next 6 months.

I don't think "to the moon" fully covers it.

Implement coin control. Lowering the 20 days is  not a good idea as it is an important aspect of the coin design, security/sustainability.
