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

[greentea]

Coming soon:

A lobby website to boost merchant acceptance.

Here is the idea:

The community agrees on a list of websites/merchants that could potentially accept MintCoin as a payment.
For each merchant, there is meter that community makes growing as a purchase promise (no fake promise please), with a goal to achieve. Something like Kickstarter.
Once the goal is achieved, we contact the merchant, and say: look, we have 10M Mint to spend in your store if you accept MintCoin. So, do that!

Whatever happened to this idea promised from launch??

please give a status on the update ...

Guys and girls. I really hate to drop a bomb like this, but sooner or later it will get discussed anyway.
Have you seen block height? Currently we are going on the rate of 1.5 times the daily block count target. For example. Mintcoin with 30sec block target shoud generate 2880 blocks per 24hours. The real result for last 24 hours is about 1.5 times higher. And earlier days are similar.
What it means?
Since all PoW/PoS hybrid coins have interest targets calculated based on nHeight (block number), it means that we will hit the second year interest rate much sooner than 1 year since beginning.

Why this is happening?
Blockchain has more blocks because PoS blocks dont follow original PoW difficulty formula. First 20 days were OK ,because there was no PoS. Since day 20, average daily block rate count has steadily raised.

Remember. This is not only Mintcoin issue. Its an issue of all PoS hybrid coins. Its not harmful in any way, but it just moves all yearly targets a lot closer than written in OP.

I have no problem with this. 20% is a high inflation rate. The faster we get to lower inflation the more the coins will theoretically be worth.

I was just thinking of a bit of a stunt I'm willing to do.
Get myself a mint for life tattoo (on the shoulder) if people are willing sponsor me i will do it.

A few photo's of the tattoo art will definitely make some people see that this community is crazy strong, they will buy in a.s.a.p.

I could set up an escrow account for this with someone people trust.

I'll throw a million in, but you better film the whole thing..... ROFL

I'll start on it right away. I'll make sure the escrow won't pay out until the video is released.
If there's a reliable dutch escrow that want's to do this and film himself to vouch for the authenticity of the movie that's cool with me to.

love this idea!

Interesting. Can anyone work out a new time table? How is coin age affected?

Coin age is affected in the same way (acclerated), since it is also based on chain height. So actual minting begins a bit before 20 days of age and coins reach full weight a bit faster than 40 days.

It's still being worked on. It's difficult to give an ETA though.

Sounds like people who want to take advantage of the full 20% PoS better let their coins age while they can.

I guess the OP should update the pay table to be correlated to block number rather than # of days\years.

Hello people,

Today i got into the world of minting. As an early invester in Bitcoin, i believe that this coin is a new great investment!
The low price and the great possibility to grow and expand to the same level as Blackcoin is very plausible in my opinion.

I think in a few weeks people wish they bought today!

Review: Hashcows' Mintcoin paying multipool

http://coinjoint.info/review-hashcows-mintcoin-paying-multipool/

[iwillimust]

Those questions have been answered over and over you guys are just to lazy to look for yourselves.

Thank you for your advice
I have a look
Look around
Thanks a million

[guidosuller]

Loving the multipool, picked up another 21k by mining 8 hours, can't wait to see what I got the last 14 hours

whats kh/s? thanks!

[omahapoker]

when do you think mintcoin will go above 30 again? i hope soon.

[thisisit]

next week 16 floor.

ps. this multipool solution makes it interesting to keep price low. more profit on coin flipping. and guaranteed profits.

[iwandhdumas2003]

It's time to pump up mint!

be patient. Rome was not built overnight.

The longer the wait to get something better
This is the eternal truth

Assuming he is correct that we are going at a 1.5 rate, then the 20% annual rate will be 8 months long instead of 12 months, which would mean we will be going to go to the 15% annual rate in approximately 6 months.

If this is even remotely correct, then the coin will be getting rarer faster, which should mean prices increase faster, as supply diminishes sooner. Does anyone know at what block # is the rate reduction supposed to be activated at? Does this also mean that the total coin cap will be less?
