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

Android wallet depends on me

no it doesn't

you've already failed to deliver

[mgburks77]

how about this

the android wallet should have the ability to display and scan QR codes so you can just point your mobile devices at each other or to a point of sale and make the exchange.

we need to think of features for the android wallet that are simple to use but will facilitate the use of our currency.

Making using mint a no-brainer will greatly enhance the chance of widespread adoption.

It should all be as simple as possible and on a hand held device.

Just out of curiosity, is this the first coin with a female lead right now? 

We should look into that. That could get MintCoin quite a bit of publicity.

Regarding a Mintcoin Android App -

After listening to several communities regarding a PoS wallet I believe that it is best to go without this feature for now.
It sounds like there are some serious issues with Terms of Service of the networks we wish to use.

As an alternative I would like to propose to the community that we take an already existing technology and turn it into a user friendly alternative of someone being able to take their coins with them and manage the balances of the wallets stored on their computers at home - open - collecting interest.

The current problems with having a wallet syncing in multiple places is that you need to make sure you are syncing from both areas before sending or receiving coins - if you create a wallet from one location and not the other location there will be issues.

How feasible is it for the community to come together with these requirements:
1. Integrate Google API for Googe Drive and Google Authentication on both the android wallet and desktop wallet
2. Include an icon in the splash screen of both wallets that invites you to sync your wallet to your google drive
3. Alert a user to activate 2 step authentication via google before syncing wallet to the drive
4. Integrate Google Contacts API for syncing of addresses on both desktop and android wallet

Please try to offer constructive feedback. No need for negativity - this is a fresh start and we truly appreciate all of his efforts.

I agree with all above.
For now I would be happy with an Android App that allowed me to simply have the person beside me download the wallet from the playstore and then have me scan their QR generated code, then send them some Mint from my phone.
If you think Mintcoin will spread without this ability you are sadly mistaken.
It's largely the reason we're sitting at 4.

If anyone is interested in taking on a task for Mintcoin please pm me for access to our new project management hub - we have plenty of tasks to go around

NO MENTION OF AN ANDROID WALLET?

Android wallet depends on me, and it will roll out eventually. I'm certainly not planning to throw away months of hard work.

But I agree it's best to keep it separate from coin's own time schedules, because even if it's mentioned or not, it's release date won't change.

Obviously it wasn't 99% complete as you stated a while back.

Regarding marketing - I don't think we should overlook the value of marketing the new development team itself.  David obviously knows his way around successful coins, to have him working on Mint again is a huge positive.  I personally also think it would be a BIG deal to new investors if we truly have the first/only female lead developer, especially since she is active, knowledgeable, and has a very positive and diplomatic approach to the community.  We all know that there aren't a lot of females involved in the cryptoworld.  That is why we should make cryptomommy a cryptocelebrity.

Agreed, although the ability to transact AND mint all on a mobile device is essential. Newsletters about this and that etc are useless without this functionality.

It's the whole point. There's nothing to market without it. If it's in development at least you can market that.

thank u for ur hard work

Haven't follow the thread much. Is there already working android wallet? Know someone was working on that.

Hey mintcoin people.. Just to bring the agenda current, I remember that I had pledged 1 Million mint for the Windows Phone wallet (not necessarily minting) and 1 Million for the online Mintcoin bank, whereby people on the web can have a 'hot wallet' for their mintcoins. There was some disparity because some community members wanted an online wallet that stores their interest, analogous to a 'term deposit', this was my preference. Other voices have put forward that the 'Mintcoin Fund' be the beneficiary of the interest. I propose at 50/50 or 25/75 split between the two. For example, I buy twenty thousand mintcoins in the bank, and after 20 days, I have 15% interest whereas the fund gets a 5% slice of the deposit amount. If I want more than that, I can get the android or web wallet (which could work on iphone as well) and mint it while I charge the phone or something. I'll update this on the fb page as well and add that to a record of the Android wallet pledges and such.

also your calculations are off because you do not receive 20% return after 20 days, that is the yearly return for the first year only.

Try to think of something besides a feature to give the user's money away.

Did you read the discussion several pages back?? The 20% is an annual figure, that's Mintcoin 101 for the first year, I mean that's how the pie is sliced.

The online wallet was discussed more here: http://mintcoin.pw/showthread.php?tid=24

It still requires more planning before development can begin. There are a lot of technical things to consider.

[cryptomommy]

Indeed. This needs to come later. Right now we need to focus on finishing up the business plan, revamping our messaging, launching the android wallet and the new desktop wallet launch.

Did you all know this?

Moolah.io blog:

We’re taking over MintPal, here’s what you need to know.

We’re taking over MintPal, here’s what you need to know.

I was wondering if it could affect Mintcoin (being one of the "removed coin"). Well, even though we are on the first page, we are pretty low on it. It would be good to coordinate a campaign toward Moolah to not be removed, stressing out that we are relaunching, the dev premine thing being over. Being delisted now would be very detrimental, just when we are going back.

Of course, maybe Moolah doesn't intend to delist us. But it is better to ask before they announce they will, it will prove we are proactive.

Among other news, I donated 50000 MINT to Linux Mint. It was the distro that shipped with the machine I am typing the post. It is a great open source project and I might even be the first to donate

Hi,

It is my pleasure to send you 50000 MINT. Linux Mint was the distro that shipped with my Mintbox when I bought it. I chose the Mintbox because it is environemently-friendly: both for the atmospheric environement (low electricity) and for the accoustic environment (silent). Since Mintcoin is a cryptocurrency about sustainable development, this just made sense!

Keep working on Linux Mint, what you are doing matters.

I've updated computers to the new Mint Xfce. It really is a class act operating system. Maybe one of the reasons I've always liked Mintcoin; another class act.
