Hey guys,
I just took a look at the promotion you were running. Unfortunately there are holes that can easily be exploited... and were. Sorry, but most of the votes were not valid. I will explain why this is the case because it appears mintpal is unable to do so.
You ran a contest paying people in XSI for votes. Some people who have a lot of time are able to easily exploit this. Here is a quote from Jason Mintpal for a different coin where the same thing happened.
"We disabled almost 60 accounts that has been created with the specific intention of voting. As a result, the votes were removed from the coin."
So basically mintpal does not want any account where the primary purpose is voting. They do not care if it is a human or a bot. When it comes down to it, only votes from accounts with a decent trade history will count.
The ones who exploited your campaign realized this and made a ton of accounts for the specific purpose of voting. Even though this may have been a real human doing the clicking, it doesn't matter.
In conclusion, I don't believe mintpal "is scamming you". The voting campaign was not a failure. The results are quite good. Votes from real mintpal accounts with a decent trade history counted. The accounts created for voting as the main purpose were disabled and not counted. If you actually use your mintpal account and it was disabled then you can have it activated again and the votes will count. The problem is the majority of those accounts are not real and won't be used for trading and will never be reactivated. Mintpal did not screw you, community members that exploited your campaign did. Even if your intentions were good, you cannot create accounts on mintpal just to vote which is what your marketing campaign allowed people to do. Scammers jump on these type of opportunities.
But think of where you were before the campaign. I'm sure since then you've gotten a lot of attention and have climbed the charts despite the big push back. Best thing you can do is keep voting real votes so people see their is strong support.. just like trading, when there are big dumps, there needs to big big support to keep it alive.
That is a great point. The fact that we jumped back up to 6000+ shows that some people did the reactivation. The campaign was a great idea. As with anything crypto people don't always play by the rules but real coins like this one always keep chugging along. In my opinion its a very minor setback and if you look at it with a glass half full attitude it really is just a great chance to stock up :-). Onward

I think it's time for the devs to reveal what they're working on. I feel like the community will slowly break apart now if no news comes now. How can the community help? Give us something ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I understand your concern. bminer777 has been working hard coding for a new feature. He didn't want to set a strict timeline and not be able to deliver. I will speak with him and see what details he wants to reveal. I'm crazy excited to hear what you guys have planned :-)

It is not that easy, you need just 1 bad day and your coins will be half or one quarter so do this with care.

The community keeps growing and I haven't seen even one person in here say "I'm out". This coin is dead. I'm out. Interesting point of view, doesn't look dead 116 StabilityShares $ 65,479 $ 0.008922 7,338,704 XSI $ 453 +7.45 %

I see 1 person mining, are we gonna throw some hash at the pool ? Surely we could come up with 10-20 miners out of the XSI community, we could even alternate days if you wanted to mine other coins as well. I did notice a price increase when we had a few people mining before, it might keep some trading volume up.

I am the one throwing the SHA at it to test its performance. So far I am getting sporadic connections. the X11 port wont connect either. Until the multipool is stable I wouldn't recommend throwing hash at it. I will let you all know what the results of the SHA-256 mining are. I am going to PM CN and pcmerc too. Just to see what is going on.

Something we again went up steeply. 8K votes already.
I am now wondering if I give a 10-15 vote in the day, I have to balance 0.5 BTC, resulting from trade, they can cut my voice or not? Once my account was blocked for allegedly cheat votes. Wrote them unblocked. However, then I almost did not trade on Mintpal.

You would have to contact MP and discuss their voting protocol with them. Nothing more I can add to what I have already posted here.

Have you been receiving payments from the pool after you stopped mining on the multipool? Like days later?

I really hope we can get this pool thing going, I would love to show support by mining an effective pool and if it worked good enough it might help the price stabilize, we probably have enough miners here that we could make a difference.
I did get 53 more payments from the pool after I quit, it's probably about 250 XSI, doesn't seem like much for all the mining but hard to tell, using 30 MH on X11 I mined from the 19th to the 23rd and didn't really get that much during that time. I mined Veil for a couple days and made enough to buy 2000 XSI, I realize it takes more work now to keep finding profitable coins to mine for the pool
