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

[dogechode]

Also remember there have been malleability issues with POS coins on exchanges so I think they lock their wallets to explicitly prevent minting.

We need to get the price of mint out of the doldrums ASAP folks...

why is mintcoin down to 5? did i miss something

[gusk73]

people need to stop selling there POS interest, just hold it for a while 

Yes, if people keep panic selling this coin, its price will fall!

why aren't exchanges actually minting? is it included in the protocol? 

of course centralization will be gained by such a bank but i think there are still a lot of people who will still use their own wallets.

the idea is just a centralized web wallet. no lending or selling financial products. 15-20% interest rate annually is already more than any bank can offer.

Exchanges don't mint because it would create a fractional reserve. If everyone wanted to withdraw at once, they couldn't because coins would be reserved for the minting process. This would cause issues.

it's the only reason? what do you mean by reserved for minting?
in the wallet the coins are available for transaction. except for when they're being staked. but they are not staked for long and then become available for transactions. i don't think that this causes much problems. worst case you get a message "you're coins are being staked right now, wait x min before you can make a transaction". or am i wrong?

I'm really not entirely sure. I figured it has to deal with the minting process because why else wouldn't they? It uses negligible CPU usage. The only real alternative I can think of is that they DO mint, but don't pay out those coins to their users.

I'm a long time investor and this is not normal. Mint and many other good coins with great communities are dying. Its all about the coin of the day and the quick buck. The merits and real world usage of a coin are no longer valid reasons to buy.

Hype is driving the marketplace now. Mint needs to find an angle like "drksend" or, something else that will create interest. I don't know who the devs are or if they are competent enough to push Mint along with new features.

Mint needs a big announcement soon.

Don't say this or people will get upset with you for not believing in the coin!

(And on a serious note, I've been saying this for many days now and always get blasted because I'm wrong)

So much for all those vendors most links are broken lol guess it was the dev who wanted to prop price up to sell his premine.

If the community pulls together they can revive the coin though. Look at GRW (it's still making its way up but it lost its developer and someone else took over recently).

guys the bank idea was received positively on reddit. there are already people promising bounties.

I pledge 300k for such a site. Maybe others are interested too and a big bounty can be organized?! Who also wants to contribute?

http://www.reddit.com/r/MintCoin/comments/26mawr/mintcoin_online_bank_discussion/

maybe a word from more techy guys/dev whether this can be accomplished? or if the protocol is preventing such a thing?

If you don't know what you are talking about don't reply.

Fractional Reserve banking is when a bank only has to have a fraction of the funds on hand that it is lending. Since an exchange doesn't lend money your claim is ridiculous.

However it is clear that most people aren't ready for cryptos. The point of it is to get away from banks etc, not recreate the mainstream financial system on a small scale.
