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

[David Latapie]

Idea for promoting mintcoin (on slideshare on a on a single image?):

"Hi, I'm Mike, I have 15.000.000 MINT (around 750 euros or 1.5 bitcoin) since February. Just by holding them, I generated 1.5 euros and in one year, I will have won 152 euros just by doing nothing, not even spending money on electricity or trusting a bank and all of this on top of the bitcoin rise in value."

Granted, just-dice.com could give you higher reward but with a risk - remember what I told you about confirmation bias; I prefer not-so-optimistic fact that biased data, that's why I am telling about just-dice.com

Hi, me and couple of guys on mintcoin irc r thinking to jump start mintcoin but we should put together some donations for 50-70 BTC to buy out that wall on mintpal. I know u all have millions of mintcoins witch u know what u can do with them at the current price. I know it's a long shot but it's worth to give it a try, what do u think?

   !!!PLEASE DON'T SEND ANYTHING TO THAT DONATION ADDRESS!!!

You need bitcoins to make a buy wall, so getting mints will not help in other way than dumping the price.
Sounds a bit shady to me...

If people want to buy up the sell wall, then go and do it.

Seriously, you need to have a little better rep. in order for people to trust you.

If you have a good cause and I believe in it - sure I will donate.
But like I said you need bitcoins to remove a sell wall, not mint.

   !!!PLEASE DON'T SEND ANYTHING TO THAT DONATION ADDRESS!!!

nobody is forcing you to send anything, if u don't want just don't!

Nope! I don't think anyone should trust you with this. If YOU are actually part of the community it's a horrible idea

[zmija]

Ok folks if that's the case, then just let this coin die, bcs u won't do anything about it,  and just waiting for miracle to happen!

Hello all,

A summary of what is on the way:

Mintcoin Fund, the world's first legally-registered NGO for a crypto. The bylaws are been sent for registration with the French administration. The goal will be to promote Mintcoin and sustainable developement through financing of actions. As the dev said: "MintCoin Fund will bring us a lot more media coverage than Coinkite could ever do" (source)

The website will be made public soon, hopefully for Earth Day.

What is needed for the moment:
- contacting sustainable developement causes that you have an active part in (because these are the easier one to reach), ideally, they could get matching contribution for the government and would not need much money, since Mintcoin still has a low value
- donating to the Fund (the fund had been finance with the pre-mine, so these donations would not go to the funding, they would be used later projects). The donation address is: MsKZ6xRSPJAVVJ7m1oZfNqVcpJ9MyvRzha[/font]. Presently it is at zero since it was just created (please someone send a link to the a working explorer for direct access)

There is already an ongoing project, Sonoma County Reforestation Plan. THe Project leader is tokyopotato, who is working there.

Teams:
We have several thematic teams:
- Web team
- Coding team
- Marketing team
I won't give the name of the members without their authorisation. Positions are opened. If you wish to join, contact public or privately (in that latter case, please tell me if you wish your participation in the team to remain invisible - if you say nothing, I will considered you are fine with being mentionned)

Website:
We acquired mintcoin.cc website and are planning for a revamp. Our main designer will soon be on holidays for half of May (he plans to deliver before his temporary leave, though), so could someone else step in? You would be part of the Web team.
- http://www.mintwoot.com/ just got published (thanks coinmany!)

Coding:
Some of the projects are:
- Android Wallet (coding team, leader paspi). Check the latest update.
- Mintstart, an eBay-like store for mintcoin (coding team, leader unek). It will try to address the famous "merchants cash out bitcoin for fiat" issue, on top of, well, being a store:)

Requested projects
Coding
- Mintcoinpool (our own pool, not someone else's pool like hashco.ws) (link). Its realisation will all depend on the interest by the community. Notice that the very idea behind mintcoin is to reduce carbon footprint, whilst multipooling is the exact opposite.
- A new mintcoin explorer. I read here and there some questions, request and announcement (like here) but I'd like some more specific news
- Improvement on the wallet: notification for upgrade or even autoupgrade (here). Some other requests too, like x64 suppport, bootstrapping the blockchain, easier installation, chancing the logo (right now, a banner is used as the logo), password request for sending mints (answers from kergekoin)
- Raspberry version (here)

Marketing
- Mintcoin T-shirts (here, glad to see you back, lumeire!)
- Communicating on price stability (here and there, something that appeals to merchants)
- Security of the network. Mintcoin is supposed to be the network with the most stacking, hence the most secure (source Gonzoucab). It would be great to back this up with facts, something that would require a a joint project with the coding team. Anyone interested?
- Popularity of mintcoin (source moderdezigns). Once again, could we get some comparative facts and numbers? My biggest concern is confirmation bias and wishful thinking. I am ready to help setting up a project for backing up these claims. Here is one: http://www.coingecko.com/ has us at the fifteenth position - still be wary that a lof of coins are not represented so even if it is a nice-looking chart, it has its shortcoming.
- It might be interesting to do something regarding organic growth, as opposed to "unnatural growth" like various sort of bribery or "showing dedication". This is slippery slope though, which should better be handled by people good at marketing (in other words: join the marketing team

As you can see, I am trying to back up as much claims as possible with facts and sources, because I am very concerned of confirmation bias. I encourage you to do the same and backup with sources and facts

I probably forgot some things, so don't hesitate to add!

[David Latapie]

Everybody calm down!

You want to have an donation address that you can rely upon? Use an official one

I will add a BTC donation address. there is no point in using MINT to buy MINT.

Yes, I am doing something, I am in dialog with the mintcointeam, and received my first task yesterday.
I did not say your plan is bad, just wondering how mint's will help, you need btc to remove a sell wall.
Please share more details about your plan.

Well it's obvious that mintcoin is not moving anywhere, my idea is to at least try to buy out that mintpal wall with i don't know 50-70 BTC and try to get price moving, it's a great coin and it's a shame that is not moving anywhere. Anyways for that community is the key role, so the members caring about this coin should participate from 0.1-1BTC so we can try to geather as meni BTCs to buy out that wall. That's my plan, it's a long shoot but it's worth it wouldn't u aggree?

[rokkyroad]

It is frustrating to see Mint drop in value while every shit/scam coin pumps away.

[poktwt]

Just sold my entire blackcoin and whitecoin for Mintcoin
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[poktwt]

It is frustrating to see Mint drop in value while every shit/scam coin pumps away.

Price doesn't matter now.
Remember:
1 Mint = 1 Mint

[zmija]

I'm willing to donate 0.2 BTC for starters, and let's go from here, everybody that cares about the mintcoin sould donate only the amount they can spare, we mignt fail but at least we where trying :-). So if u guys put up an official BTC address (that we all can trust), show it and i'll donate and hopefully the rest will follow :-)

i think its a bad plan, i think if we develop the community very well, and the market will become bigger! we shouldnt worry about the value. we should do the thinks what david say: web, code and market. thinking and discuessing more ideas about market here!! we have a lot brains

Great we need brains, but unfortunately, that didn't produce any big outcome so far, what good is the market for if mintcoin is worthless, i bet people (not all of course), feels that the coin is dying, bcs it's nothing going on on exchanges. But i might be wrong and a couple of if that or if this happens this coin will flourish.
