    We have been working really hard preparing for this re-launch, working on many projects to add more value to the coin users and supporters.
    
    Below are some of the hottest updates for MinCoin.

   
    
    

New MinCoin Website

             

   

    
  

   
    
  

 <sup>MinCoin On Social Media    

                                                          
    
MinCoin Wallet</sup>      

              
    

MinCoin Merchant Tools

       

    
  
    Plus many merchants to come..
    
    
    

   
    MinCoin is a derivative of the Litecoin code, and Litecoin really is just a clone of Bitcoin. What separates MinCoin from both of those is it takes the best of both and it combines them into one crypto-commodity/currency. Whether Bitcoin supporters want to believe it or not, Bitcoin is a commodity not a currency and as with commodities what really drives value is limited supply/creation.
    
    With MinCoin only having 10 millions total coins to ever be produced compared to 21 millions for Bitcoin, it is pretty easy to see which one is more rare. By late September 2017, 78.9% of all Bitcoins have already been distributed, but in Mincoin - our flat emission cycle leaves 61.8% of the total Mincoin still uncirculated.
    
    "To empower people with the ability to govern their finances by enabling them with a superior method of wealth storage, wealth transfer & a mobile payment solution currency not available within today's banking system & the outdated infrastructure it supports." - Mission Statement, MinCoin Dev Team

*Below is the original release thread/post details*

I'm sure many of you have noticed that MinCoin has been having some issues with our Difficulty re-target causing a lot of
instability in MNC network hashrate, Transaction Confirmation times and overall mining profitability compared to other coins.

Today we have made a change to that Difficulty re-target in an effort to help create a more stable network hashrate
and to also help stabilize the 1min block/confirm target. This should also help with mincoin mining profitability from
a stability standpoint.
However, this does require a mandatory update to the mincoin qt client and daemon for all miners and pool operators.
We request that everyone upgrade prior to block 75000 as that is the target block for the new Difficulty re-target of 60blocks
to take effect.
Thanks again for your continued support. I think this change will help benefit everyone involved with this project.


Announcing MinCoin! If you weren't an early adopter for BitCoin or LiteCoin here is your chance to become one for the fastest coin out there!
     https://github.com/SandyCohen/mincoin
   **Latest github: https://github.com/vipah/mincoin
    Windows 32bit binary: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36733610/mincoin/mincoin.zip
    
     MinCoin (MNC) - a minimalist version of Bitcoin optimized for CPU mining using scrypt as a proof of work scheme.
    *Only 10 million coins total will be generated
    *1 minute block targets for ultra fast transactions
    *To encourage early adoption block values for first 3 days are :- 500 MNC, 100 MNC, 50 MNC
    *After first 3 days block value will be 2 MNC per block until all coins mined which will take roughly 10 years
    *Difficulty Retarget Every 60 Blocks
    Mining started at 12:21 UTC April 3, 2013 and was announced on IRC and the WWW not long after. There is no premine!
    Getting Started: Solo mining:
    Run mincoin.exe or compile the source from github. It should close down immediately after not finding a valid config file.
       -Go to %appdata%\mincoin directory and create a file called mincoin.conf . In this file add two lines
    

rpcuser=user
    rpcpassword=pass
    Then save the file.
    Now run mincoin.exe again.

   Run CGMINER and point it to http://127.0.0.1:9335 with the username of "user" and password of "pass"
    If you use CGMINER set the flag "--expiry 1" option to make sure you avoid stales, ie
    cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9335 -u user -p pass --expiry 1

Relaunch is great, but the real key is high-volume, instant trading on a reliable platform.

I'm not associated with them in any way except for being pretty happy and amazed that depositing, transferring, and executing buys/sells doesn't have to be a completely frustrating process like it is on most other exchanges.

It seems a "big show" is not what the Mincoin community wants, what it wants is  sustained growth and thats what its getting
and thats what the stats show

We need to just ride the bitcoin wave and i have a theory about tall poppys. Mincoin is not a tall poppy

EXARENA is its name enjoy and be safe.

MinCoin is comming to another exchange shortly...one with USD pairs also. See if you can guess which one

What's up with these 0.25 MNC block rewards?  I can't find any mention of them in the docs or any of the MNC threads I can find, but I'm seeing a lot of them and have even found a couple of the blocks -

The block rewards are 2 MNC (plus any transaction fees that get included).   What version of p2pool are you running?
My guess is the SUBSIDY_FUNC in bitcoin/networks.py is incorrect.

If there really were block worth less than 2 MNC, you would be able to find them with any blockexplorer.

[LongAndShort]

Thats right kids a new and exciting exchange has been setup to start taking USD transfers and has now added MinCoin
The owner of the site even named his child ATOMIC to symbolize how focused and confident he is with his trade engine becoming one of cryptos' finest exchanges
So i am Extremely proud to announce that he added MinCoin  
 
Atomic Trade Exchange has a lotto which you are entered into each time you trade. It has chat banning, tipping other users, fun games and a great crowd.
Atomic Trade Exchange has what they call ATP/BTC pair and its a user mined commodity, bound to the exchange and you use it for the games and different trader account upgrades and every part of the 6k ATP you hold by mining it through trading or chatting in the chat box; you get a payout based on the amount you hold relative to the amount in circulation at that time and the payout will be 40% of the exchanges trading fees generated.
How cool is that right
 
But most importantly it is on an exchange that is dealing with USD and this is fantastic news and a Milestone for MinCoin so feel free to celebrate on this wonderful achievement

This coin might be so minimalist that it is nearly impossible to find active nodes.

Thanks to Rossen, I finally (after days of googling and trying different ways) managed to find some. Couldn't even find them on the dev's own forum

In case anybody needs a few active nodes:

$ mincoind getpeerinfo | grep addr\"
        "addr" : "62.210.5.232:9334",
        "addr" : "108.61.10.90:9334",

Hi Devvie,

Cleaning up my old wallets... I guess this one died, huh? : ) Ah well, I'll morn at a later time... ;-)

    Just to be clear, Mincoin certainly isn't dead, only the old protocol wallet.

    There is an active thread and we are listed on Trade Satoshi with BTC/LTC and DOGE pairings.  Join us on freenode in #mincoin if you want to checkout the party.  Things are happening and we certainly welcome any enthusiasm.  Since there was a protocol upgrade to v70002, the v0.8.8 Mincoin wallet is the only one which has been released since the hard fork.  You should be able to launch it and find 8+ nodes very quickly without any customization of the mincoin.conf.

    Additionally, the profit-switching pools aren't a problem anymore.  Mincoin's SplashGuard is taking care of that for us with a little help from our friends who developed Dark Gravity Wave v3.

Best Regards,
-Chicago
