Well I was just informed that Mintcoin will soon be added to the coins that can be tipped through the Facebook Multicoin Tipping App. This means that very soon you will be able to share Mintcoins with friends and family via Facebook tipping. Here's a link to their page.

This is great. I went ahead and voted for mintcoin as well, even though they already said it will be added can't hurt!

Yippieh, so I did find a bug. Is there a bug finding bounty?
If you want to support me & my work: Mfxyu7TRCDxco5sGn8EV1hNqF2A7Ut9oo4

Completed fixing it today, submitted a patch to devs just a couple of hours ago. Probably it'll be included in the next release.
edit: I thought I should give more information. Balance displayed on UI was correct. Balance displayed when calling "getbalance" by itself was correct. The commands "getbalance *", "getbalance ""   ", "getbalance accountname", "listaccounts" had some problems, their outputs were inconsistent with each other and UI's shown balance. The inconsistencies occured only on minted transactions

Alright. Well done fixing this. Thank you very much, in the name of the whole community.
Is this a Mintcoin specific bug - or do you want to tell all the other PoS coins, too?

How much code do mintcoin and blackcoin actually share?

Might this "wrong balance" bug be connected to the wrong balances at cryptorush?

That was a UI bug and had nothing to do with the actual balance itself. This was explained to you buy the guy who submitted the patch, which you conveniently omit. Not sure what your agenda is, but as far as I'm concerned you can take your FUD and GTFO. Our blockchain is fine.
Sick of clowns.

Please re read.

You are throwing aggression at me, and I don't deserve it.


1) I cited almost the full answer to my original post, shortened only what was irrelevant for my answer. Please compare now.

2) I noticed that answer to my post because paspi PMed me, AND cited my post. It's impossible to read all the noise in this forum. So if someone else answered, too, then I am sorry; please point me to his post - then I can see what I "omitted".

3) I still don't know what you mean by "which you conveniently omit". WHAT have I omitted?

4) "Not sure what your agenda is" - easy: I am trying to help. After I had discovered, and documented a real bug. Re-read my postings please. And if you are related to Mint, then I suggest, you thank me for my bug report.

5) "Our blockchain is fine." I believe you, and I never doubted that.  RE-READ my posting. I congratulated paspi to having fixed the problem. All is cool with MINT. Where do I attack your block chain?

6) Where is my FUD ?  Cryptorush has just had some ~100BTC stolen issues, due to their supposedly wrong handling of a supposedly wrong 'getbalance' answer. Nothing to do with MINT. Please follow the links, get an update.

7) IF mint and other PoS coins DO share source code (which I still don't know yet) ... and paspi might have actually done an important fix not only for mint, but also for other coins - why would YOU want to keep that improvement for yourself, instead of sharing it with other coins? What is your agenda in not sharing open source code? Do you think of MINT being an enemy of BC, or what?

8 ) Thanks for telling me GTFO, but I will decide myself where I linger :-)

9) The clown ... is not me.

10) Perhaps you had a very bad day? You have serious anger issues, which are narrowing your outlook onto the world; I suggest to make more breaks, go into nature!  


TL;DR:
I had found a bug in the mint client. It was found and got fixed.
Then I saw similiar topics popping up in two different PoS coins;
both had issues with getbalance. Related or not, I don't know.
Mint has just solved it - perhaps that could help other coins, too?

Has anyone had a pyout from Hashco.ws yet?

As per the announcement, payouts happen once daily, ~03:30 UTC (~1hr from this post).

Happy Mining.

Drakoin, so I posted a smartass reply to your post- I've deleted it, sorry about that. Good on you for finding a bug. We get a lot of trolls in this forum, and I made a false assumption about you.

I myself can be considered a troll at times, because I do have a bad attitude at times. Sorry, it's ingrained in me. I actually don't support other coins myself, I'm not interested in them. I feel mint is superior and that's all I got to say about that 

I am not on the mintcoin team, just a supporter\holder.

This is great news as I've been asking if this is possible. I look forward to sharing coins with friends and family. I'm sure I can figure out other ways to promote the coins through facebook groups with this as well!  If there are ever Mintcoin voting situations please send me a message and I will do what I can to help.

I am running 1.6 of the wallet.  Mac version.  So far, no minting of any kind.  Not even failed attempts (as far as I can tell).

strange ... 1.6 on my MAC has minted fine albeit with orphans.

Are you running Mavericks? that's what Im on.

Yes.  That's what I'm on (Mavericks) and I've had the wallet open for days.  Still nothing.

First, how many coins do you have trying to mint? The more you have the better, $5 worth of coins is probably never going to be able to find a block. Second, it is better to keep all your coins that you want to save for minting together on 1 address to help pool together all of your coins' coin age; that way they are all working together to find a block rather than against each other. Third, people need to realize that you are not guaranteed to start minting on day 20. Day 20 is the earliest possible day that coins are allowed to try for blocks. More than likely, it could take several days later to have enough coin age to find a block. Fourth, Once it has been 20 days, your coins accumulate additional coin age with every second that passes by; so leave your wallet open for minting for several hours or several days. After you do successfully find a block and receive your newly minted coins, you have to go through the waiting time all over again (20 days MINIMUM).
Lastly, I would suggest, if you are really serious about getting into being a heavy hitting long-term power minter and really be able to compete for the future, you should try to aquire several million coins now, especially while they are still cheap, and then, do not sell any mintcoins right now, as selling off your mintcoins is equivalent to selling off your mining gear. Think of your coins not only as coins, but as little workers that you have bought, earned, and payed for...they are your engine, your team of workers will continue reaping rewards for you years to come. ~Welcome to the Mintcoin revolution.~

that's somewhat confusing ... always have to know your cost of basis and what you're buying to determine your capital gains? 

so if you sell the bitcoins back to USD at a gain, it's taxed as a property gain?

It is extremely confusing...

"Bitcoins held for more than a year and then sold would face the lower tax rates applicable to capital gains -- a maximum of 23.8 percent compared with the 43.4 percent top rate on property sold within a year of purchase."

Does that mean if you don't "hold" them for a year before you sell them you don't have to pay taxes on the profits? If so... couldn't you just convert your BTC into an altcoin and then right back into BTC once a year to avoid ever "holding" them for a full year? Hahahaha

Also, no mention of altcoins at all... So, convert your BTC into an altcoin that has a fiat exchange and then exchange to fiat and you don't have to pay taxes on the capital gains?!?

Wow, I think you just found a loophole stormia! Lol, what better coin to turn it into than one that pays 20% interest

Vault of Satoshi baby!

Multipool launched!!

I'm happy to announce, that http://hashco.ws has now launched its 'Get Paid in MintCoin' option to the pool. Sign Up, and head on over to 'Account Settings' where you'll see the option of changing from the standard BTC payout option to MINT.
Our pool also has the unique option of being able to keep other altcoins we mine as well, should you so choose. We welcome all the members of the mint community who wish to give us a shot. Please feel free to join us on irc. Freenode / #hashcows Its in a bit of a beta these first few days, as we work out any kinks with the mint payouts specifically, however the pool itself has been operational for more than 6 months now. MINT payouts will happen between 03:30 - 04:00 GMT daily.
For the time being, there is no additional fee for being paid out in MINT vs. BTC
Happy Mining
