I realy want to update my wallet, but i am worried to lose my mints, or reset the minting proces.
Can someone please answer the following question? It should help a lot!
I made a backup of my wallet. Can i just delete the old one, then install the new new wallet and insert my backup? (wallet.dat)
All you need to do is close old mint wallet and run new mint wallet. No backups are necessary. It might be a good idea to backup wallet.dat before you run the new exe but you will only need this backup if something goes terribly wrong.

why donate to toward a generic wallet that is going to be built first and used by everyone anyway?
the thing that makes the androids wallet something someone would pay for is if it were exclusive to MINT and you could use a tablet or mobile device to mint
otherwise it's a generic wallet app I'd probably never use
the reason to have a mint exclusive app that mints is that it make MINT something special and therefore more valuable, that's what I would be interested in paying to develop
Sure get prepared to pay 50 btc for a wallet from scratch.. U get what u pay for... Android wallet is gpl so I dont even know if you can close it since your using open source base. Alot of people still havent clued in to the open source movement.. which allowed you to even have your mintcoin.. now you want your pie and eat it too. Don't get me wrong I'm not opposed to the creation of a generic open source wallet that any PoS coin could use. I just don't see enough value in it for me to donate as much as I would for one for exclusive use that could mint. However if everyone else in the other communities etc donates to make an open source wallet I'll throw in a little too. You shouldnt have to pay anything for it.. the premine scammer should allocate atleast 1% of the premine to the largest bounty and bam its done.. I cant see any serious investment going on here with a 700 million preminr which is not even used for intended purposes. We, The Mintcoin Fundation is in control of the premine and will be expended in LONG TERM PROJECTS. The android wallet is something we can accomplish for ourself, Bigchirv is willing to help program it.

anyone help please It could be issue of your router blocking your connections port. Usually its not a case, but in rare cases it could be. Whats in your mintcoin.conf file? Also i am not aware if new windows wallet was compiled with or without upnp support. Replace your mintcoin.conf file with this: rpcuser=xxxx rpcpassword=yyyy rpcport=15554 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 server=1 listen=1 testnet=0 daemon=1 and see if you get connections. Mine connects 5-6 within 1 minute and like 8-10 within 3 minutes.

Also i am not aware if new windows wallet was compiled with or without upnp support. It should have UPnP in it, 1.6->1.7 patch had nothing to do with UPnP. Can you check it from Options window? If it's not greyed out there, it's compiled in @jakema I believe it just can't find peers to connect to, if you wait, it eventually should (maybe 15-20 minutes?). Even if your own router doesn't support or allow UPnP / port forwarding, you should be able to connect to others who allow it For individual users, UPnP / port forwarding allows more concurrent peers than with no UPnP / port forwarding. For the whole network, UPnP / port forwarding allows network connectivity, even if some people cannot accept inbound connections, they may connect to other nodes who can. But it should be enabled by default, I don't think it's the issue.

Is there an active android wallet development? I saw people mention Bigchirv, but couldn't see any of his posts in this thread, maybe I missed it.
I'm thinking on minting on a mobile device. Minting uses 100% cpu to find a hash, much like PoW, but using owner's coins. A phone user would not want to enable it.
On the other hand, a tablet-only user might want it if it's her only computer, so android wallet should ideally have minting, but the ability to turn it off. Or options like "mint only when charging", "mint only when charging and battery > 80%", "mint only when screen is locked"
I'm thinking about the first use case, to run mintcoin wallet on a phone, but the user doesn't want his phone to mint at all. What happens if I share my private key between desktop wallet and android wallet? I mean desktop wallet can mint all the time, and to sync my android wallet, I can show it a QR code from desktop wallet and voila, from that point android wallet can spend coins (and all future coins) from my desktop wallet. They should be able to track their balances over the blockchain.
Does anyone know how the QT clients react when the same wallet.dat is used on two computers simultaneously? Do they notice funds in an account are gone if they see an outgoing transaction in the blockchain, or do they assume only they can initiate transfers?
Maybe what I imagine* is not possible due to changes being sent to new generated addresses, but I'm not sure.
edit *: fixed typo

I think the best is to let it mint by choice on preferences, and by default it will only mint wile charging. Simple. but the client need to have the same functions as the desktop one. In fact is a desktop one for android desktop/tablets Than can be used on phones. Thats how i see it.

Im not even mac user myself. I use win8.1 daily. This 1.7 i made because i was asked. I also compiled windows-qt myself. Made it little more compact, since i dislike useless space on my screens. Heres my compact version of mintcoin-1.7 windows qt, if anyone desires the same: https://www.dropbox.com/s/658eteq94h8b123/Mintcoin-1.7win.zipThere are very small changes in this wallet. - downsized splash image - downsized and cropped wallet image - newer QT version (doesnt really matter) - made it open up smaller and it can scale down some more (you can drag all windows as big or small as you like). - 3 recent transactions on overview page instead of 6. and a picture of how it looks:

It loads under 30 seconds on my virtual machine 10.9, which uses only one CPU core and has 1GB of memory. On your second issue. If you dont like white icon backround, you can always change it to your liking. Takes few seconds.

i'm totally with you on that one. u seem like a techy guy if you know what i mean. Do you happen to know someone who is able to provide such a wallet?

Hello Mintcoin coommunity, I have requested a quote from http://www.coinsforanything.com/ for a custom made Mintcoin. I really like the Mintcoin image, and I have been sitting on a few fun marketing ideas that involve having physical coins to hold and take pictures of. Plus, it would be nice to have one in my pocket. I have a few questions I would appreciate answers to before I would spend any money having these things made in bulk. 1. Is there any community interest in purchasing a high quality, custom made Mintcoin? I have no idea what pricing would be, as I have not yet received a quote back from the above company. But if you could buy one, what would you pay? $9.99? $19.99? The coin I am requesting a quote for would be 3D engraved on both sides, shiny embossed nickel plating, epoxy covering, case... the works.It would be a nice coin about the size of a half-dollar. I imagine it would have good weight to it. 2. Copyright issues. Is the Mintcoin image useable in this way without permission? Do I need permission to use this image on the coin if I am selling the coins to the community? I suppose I wouldn't be "selling" them if I was accepting MINT as payment, since Mintcoin are considered "property" here in the US, I would be "trading" them....interesting. 3. What size would you want if you bought a custom MIntcoin? The dev team could also do this and list the coins on the main website, and make them purchasable only in MINT. That would be something different. =)
