Everyone reading, please consider contacting 1) BTC-e.com I love this exchange. It would be great if they got MINT on it. 2) It would be good to get MINT/$USD at Cryptsy as well, so feel free to email them. 3) Also, Canada's largest and best exchange, CaVirtEx, would really benefit from getting MINT. Be sure to email admin@cavirtex.com to ask them to accept MIN. I'll fire off some email tonight

... I've supported Mintcoin from the start, well from around the 2nd week in anyway. Thanks for the heads up. I'm aware of your support, thank you. Indeed. I've placed the Mintcoin logo on the home pages of my web based proxy sites: www.xeronet-proxy.orgwww.xeronet-proxy.bizwww.xeronet-proxy.infowww.xeronet-proxy.netwww.xeronet-proxy.comSo, some free advertising! Could use a quality 468x60 banner as I'll be adding a bunch into rotation soon for a few alt. coins.

MINT die ?
MINT is very alive and well. While BTC is done most other altcoins have crashed to low levels. MINT still holds at 13-15 satoshis which says a lot. I was actually surprised it is till holding at this level. I was expecting it to bottom at 9-10 satoshis. MINT surprises me everyday which is why I see that it will rise to really high levels. Cryptocurrencies are very important for society. They will therefore rise again and when they do, BTC prices will go up and so will MINT and by a lot too. Yup! A gap has opened up at 14 again and it looks like it is being filled with buy orders this time, I wouldn't be surprised if we pushed up to 15+ again especially since things appear to have settled down with Faircoin and BC for the time being. Either way, the stability is impressive considering the strain the market has been feeling due to the state of BTC and the current craze over other coins.

You need to make sure you can see hidden files and folders on your operating system. then go to your users/appdata/mintcoin folder and backup your wallet.dat somewhere. Then delete all the other files leaving behind only your super important wallet.dat file. Then run the updated mintcoin client.

Yup you should have a mintcoin folder with just your wallet.dat and then run version 1.7

Hey vtbean, I'll do the best I can! First thing you will want to do is backup your wallet.dat file. Back it up in multiple locations (you should keep it backed up at multiple locations all the time- you only need to reback it up whenever you add a new address to the wallet). You can back it up from within your wallet using file => backup wallet. Now you will want to find your "roaming" folder. First, make sure you can see hidden files and folders. Then, to find the "roaming" folder, if you are using windows, search for %appdata% in the search bar on the start tab (I'm not sure how to find it on a mac/linux, but I imagine it is an analogous process). Once you have located your "roaming" folder, locate the "MintCoin" folder within it. Delete everything from this folder except for your wallet.dat file (it would be fine if you did delete it since you backed up the wallet.dat file elsewhere, but there is no need to delete it so don't take the risk). Now that everything is deleted, except for your wallet.dat file, download and run the new v1.7 wallet. You will need to download the entire blockchain again. Edit: well that took too long for me to type, looks like others already covered it

Due to the relative stability, I am beginning to see it as a high-interest savings account!
Yep. I am planning and hoping the prices stay at these levels long enough for me to buy ~30,000,000 coins in a few weeks which will generate ~$30 a month at current prices of 15 sats. If more people do the same thing, the price will start really going up and keep rising, and if the coin goes from 15 satoshis to 30 satoshis that is $60 per month, which I think could easily happen. It could even go a lot higher! Mintcoin could make mining obsolete.

Because of the interest you gain, you do not need constant pumping of prices to make a ROI. Which means, you can have a stable price and still make profits. Stability is great for merchants, profits are great for investors. It is a win-win in this sense. I don't see many other coins which offer this scenario (aside from the straight copys of Mint). Of course once more people catch on to this and the other great features of this coin/community, then like you said the price will increase and the ROI will be even greater

That's how I always envisioned my investment as well as passive income. A chart would be good to help people visualize and get an idea how great Mintcoin really is

Man I hope it goes higher than 15 sat lol 30 million coins just to make $30 a month is a little ridiculous
