[ANN][MIN] Minerals - POS | Developing own anon solution |

[Hoshimaru]

Thank you

As for further development, it's on hold for now. I have to study for certification exams and my boss gave me a couple of weeks instead of the 4 months that are usually given... Considering how expensive it is, I don't have time to concentrate on something else right now.

@vlizzjeffrey; Hi there! It's been such a long time since. I stopped going to our #scrypt channel as it was kinda dead and people left little by little anyway.
How are you doing?

[Hoshimaru]

Okay 

It seems that the Block Explorer hosted on my blog was stuck since 12 days!
After some investigation a troubleshooting, it's synchronizing again.

For more information on the problem and the solution: http://www.morningminerals.com/?p=933

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you! That's great news \(^_^\)
When I'm done with today's tasks, I'll update the blog.

Starting next Tuesday I can resume working on the (testnet) wallet trying to reduce a bit of the system load created by all the blocks we generate.

this was a good coin

Still postponing further work on the wallet

I've been entrusted by a business laptop from a friend who got infected by CTB Locker. Over 9000 documents have been encrypted and the ransom wasn't paid in time. I'll be busy for a while recovering stuff using data recovery & forensic software on the disk images.

Hello everyone.

I have decided to stop maintaining Mineralscoin infrastructure and will no longer work on the wallet or any related service.
There is simply no time for me to spend on the coin and I am facing enormous problems that make this coin basically a dead coin.

And dead it is, since a corrupt transaction has brough the blockchain on its knees.
In its current state MIN cannot be a dynamic and lightning fast coin it was supposed to be. Its code base, Novacoin, is hopelessly outdated to the point it's too hard and required to much resources to fix it.

Some more information can be found here: http://www.morningminerals.com/?p=945

That being said, don't trash your wallets. It may be useful should an exchange program be created together with a successor.

I aplogize for not being able to meet your expectations.
Please get in touch with Stronci if you'd like to help or start anew.

Goodbye~

[wjarmb]

I will continue to pay attention to this coin.

[Hoshimaru]

I permanently shut down the server this evening.

Mineralscoin no longer has the following assets:

- super node
- checkpoint node
- dns seed server
- block explorer (cce.morningminerals.com)
- website (www.morningminerals.com)
- github
- twitter

Domain disappear in June 2017.

_Today, we proudly present the new Mineralscoin Wallet v1.1.1.0

After several months of studying paper, doing research and digging through thousands of lines of code to gain a fair understanding about the inner workings of crypto currency, we started working on updating the wallet in order to revive our beloved crypto currency.

You were already acquainted with the new face of Mineralscoin. Today, you can get acquainted with a new wallet, that definitively breaks with its past and is geared towards the future.

In order to prepare the path for Mineralscoin, the following aspects have been modified and certain required features added in order to secure the network from mending by 3rd parties:

General Features
Graphics	Updating Mineralscoin logo and graphics
Seed Nodes	Introducing (DNS) Seed Nodes to the network
Fallback Nodes	Adding a set of fallback nodes
Checkpoints	Introducing a set of checkpoint to the blockchain
Alerts	Introducing the ability for us to broadcast alerts
Livenet-specific Features
Checkpoint Keys	Checkpoint keys to validate checkpoints on the network
Alert Keys	Replacing the keys by a new key pair allowing us to broadcast alerts
Bootstrap	Accelerating the importing of the blockchain for new clients
Testnet-specific Features
Genesis Block	Creation of a new genesis block to launch "Testnet-1"
Checkpoints	Testing and creation of checkpoints
Checkpoint Keys	Testing checkpoint validation by Checkpoint Nodes
Alert Keys	Testing Alert broadcasting on a network
Bootstrap	Testing creation and loading for a bootstrap file

Downloading Mineralscoin v1.1.1.0

Pre-compiled binaries for Windows, Ubuntu 14.02 and OpenSUSE 13.2 as well as the source code can be downloaded from our Github release page located at https://github.com/AkiraTakizawa/Mineralscoin/releases/tag/v1.1.1.0-R1 or by selecting one of the wallets directly below:

• Windows (11.4MB)
• Ubuntu 14.02 (1.95MB)
• OpenSUSE 13.2 (1.96MB)
• Source Code (zip)
• Source Code (tar.gz)

Important Note!
Please note that some technical aspects have changed as well. This is important if you wish to continue using your existing data located in your current "Minerals" directory!

P2P and RPC ports

Port	v1.1.0.0	v1.1.1.0
Livenet P2P Port	33442	33555
Livenet RPC Port	33441	33557
Testnet P2P Port	33444	33556
Tetnet RPC Port	33443	33558

Unless you wish to custom port number which you can specify in your configuration files, nothing special should be done.

Working Directories

Mineralscoin v1.1.1.0 uses a new directory to store its wallet and blockchain data.
It is highly recommended that you rename your directory from Minerals to Mineralscoin as shown in the table below.

Attention: If you don't rename, the wallet will crash on first run. Your previous Minerals v1.1.0.0 wallet and blockchain will be unaffected. However, the required Mineralscoin directory and a new wallet.dat will be created. On second launch, it uses this newly created files and will start downloading the whole blockchain again from scratch.

OS	v1.1.0.0	v1.1.1.0
Windows XP	%userprofile%\Application Data\Minerals	%userprofile%\Application Data\Mineralscoin
Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10	%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Minerals	%userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Mineralscoin
Linux	~/.Minerals	~/.Mineralscoin
OS X	~/Library/Application Support/Minerals	~/Library/Application Support/Mineralscoin

Please note that the name of this directory is case-sensitive!

Configuration File

Mineralscoin v1.1.1.0 also introduces a new configuration file Mineralscoin.conf. Please rename your old Minerals.conf to Mineralscoin.conf if you wish to keep your existing configuration settings.

v1.1.0.0	v1.1.1.0
Minerals.conf	Mineralscoin.conf

Please note that the name of this file is case-sensitive!

*pout* I don't want to change all this stuff!

Although we strongly advise against using the old Minerals directory and files, it is possible to keep using the old files and directories.
You can force the new wallet to use the old directory by adding the datadir= and conf= directives to your configuration file or by launching it from the command line, for example by issuing the command

Code:

Mineralscoin-qt.exe -datadir=C:\Users\Stubborn User\AppData\Roaming\Minerals -conf=C:\Users\Stubborn User\AppData\Roaming\Minerals\Minerals.conf

on a Windows 8 machine.

Help! Help!

We are positive that the transition to this new wallet won't be too complicated. Should you still experience problems, please ask for help on Bitcointalk or Twitter. If you have a Github account, you can also submit an issue on our Mineralscoin repository. The Q&A pages on Morning Minerals can also be used if you prefer.

Does anyone know how to restart Minerals ?
Is it still possibly to synchronize?

Any sample conf ?

thx

I will support you, if you find some help from a Dev or like...

I legaly own the Minerals wallet.dat from Cryptsy, and I'm not greedy ;-)
