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

[coolbeans94]

BC is not secure because it is no longer a hybrid PoW/PoS coin. I don't know why anyone bothers with it.

Yeah I'm still unsure how they fixed the problems associated with pure PoS but they claim to have. People have asked on the forums but the answers are rather hand-wavy and I have yet to see anybody explain in detail how attack forks are prevented.

It could be attacked and there is no way to really know, that's the freaky part because there is no way to be really be sure sure. Got to have some PoW in it.

What are you think about ECC? Similar to Mintcoin and cheap

Not too thrilled by the performance of the Mint Multipool, so I went back to Wafflepool and I'm using the Bitcoin it generates to buy Mint. Makes about twice as much per day.

I think the mintcoin multipool is down for maintenance or something for 2 weeks???

Can you post about it here:

Does it have issues with cgminer?

No, it works with whatever normal scrypt miner. It's a generic bitcoin multipool, but a bit more open and friendly, and lower fees than the others.

Seems BC peeps are scared of this. . . . .

Any predictions on the ceiling?

This may of interest to the BC community:

We are already doing that. Killing useless coins through the multipool.

Well these guys are talking about forking blackcoin specifically and destroying it. They probably have the hash power

good luck.

Enlighten me how hashpower can destroy POS coin? Smiley

This is how...
Re: Operation Shitcoin Cleanout and Clean Up Has Begun- Join the Revolution
"I have an idea. We start a pool where we can mine shit PoW scamcoins and fork them. Most scamcoin devs won't know how to fix them and the coin will die. we can make it expensive for them to pay others to fix. kill the blockchain, kill the coin."

Multipools have nothing to do with cleaning out shitcoins. They prey upon the valuable coins (easiest to mine for profit), shit or not.

This is another multipool that pays out in bitcoin: https://www.multipool.us/

You can run scrypt or sha-256. Use it to buy Mint 

The multipool thing is cool, but remember the easiest way to get more mint is by just leaving it in your wallet 

Can you imagine if Bitcoin was PoS and you could earn 20% just by holding? OH LORD. Now imagine how valuable Mint will be in a year. Every coin will count.

Ya feel me?

With Scrypt ASIC coming out soon, I think the market is due for a major readjustment. All the scrypt clone shitcoins will become obsolete and low-energy established PoS coins like MINT may soon be in favor. Hold on to your MINT!

I still call BS on scrypt ASICS. There's only one out there so far that's real, and it's garbage.

Well, I for one would certainly welcome the change that is long overdue, so let's hope not. With the pre-orders starting and release scheduled for later this year, it won't be long until we find out. In the meantime, i'd hate to be left holding the bag!

[deadmanwalking]

PoS is the future. PoS coins that came before Mint had the right idea, but the wrong distribution method.

During the mining phase people had 5 weeks to jump on the bandwagon. People that are just now becoming aware of Mint STILL have time to get in by buying some coins and tacking on 20% more to their initial investment, and all the while the coin will grow in value as merchants are added.

We are quite the opposite of an instamine coin, with 50 billion coins yet to be minted and we've made it happen without dimming the lights of Vegas. This coins use of proof of stake and the distribution method really make Mintcoin remarkable. The speed of transaction times can't be understated either.

We have a real winner here, people just need to slow down and think about everything.

The way these pools work is that it mines those coins, converts into Bitcoin (or you auto send to cryptsy and autosell on cryptsy), you trade Btc for Mint. gg

What PCjargon said. I listed multipool.us for people like me who run  SHA 256 ASIC

Bounty for a new mintcoin multipool

http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/20vtiy/bounty_for_a_new_multipool/


I have been in contact with one of the established multipools and they are willing to get a mintcoin multipool up if we show enough interest!!

Here is what they replied:
"Its an interesting idea.  I saw some doing it with blackcoin recently.   I'd be willing to give it a shot, if you believe you can gather interest in your community and perhaps a bounty could be had.  I've got a lot on my plate atm, but am willing to dedicate some time if it makes sense"

Can we raise some funds for a bounty here?

I don't have that much mints myself but i donate 100000

Great Job! I think you could definitely find interest. Which multi-pool are we talking about?

Three I know of:

Wafflepool.com - 1% fee total, seems like (it was) the underdog, has my support
multipool.us - 1.5% fee on scrypt, does both scrypt and sha, doesn't auto payout in BTC
middlecoin.com - 3% fee, the original, oversized

EDIT: On a quick google search, seems like a lot more multipools out there.

The thing to keep in mind is that we have paid a bounty for a multi-pool which is now offline for 2 weeks. The pool operator has shut it down to make improvements. The pool had difficulty working with the most popular mining software.

I'm not against setting up another multi-pool or even paying another bounty, but I think the community would like to see which pool it is we would be working with.
