Re: [ANN][MINT] Mintcoin (POS) (5%) - New Wallet v2.0.2 released 3/1/16
I think we all believe that MINT is a hidden gem, but right now all we are is a bunch of bag holders. I've believed in this coin since day 1, and mined some of the first blocks 3 years ago, but we need to get this coin used and less holding. I've watched it land on the biggest exchanges and now it barely has life on the smallest exchange. We are on the verge of moving to a permanent LTC/MINT pairing and at that point, we all know how hard it is to get it back to BTC. In fact, I've never seen it happen.
We have great devs here and a community thats willing to help this coin grow, but what it really needs is a place to be spent and circulated, put back into a viable exchange and the retailers can convert back to BTC or whichever they prefer. Once we lose the BTC pairing, it's lights out.
Sorry for the negativity lately, but it sucks watching this coin go from what it was, where it was going, and where it is today.

I entered this community much later then you as I never mined mint. While many would like to see more volume on this coin, my question to an OG community member is, what are your solutions? How are you working to solve this issue?
You call yourself a bag holder. Why are you holding when you think the coin should be spent? Have you considered doing some transactions? If no then why? Have you suggested a product or service you'd like to purchase with mint?
Mint will become what the active community members want it to be. You don't have to be a dev or part of the team to contribute.
On a side note...some preview images of the new Mint Cards were released on the Slack channel today.
I don't think there is a solution, that's part of my point. I'm a bag holder because it is encouraged to MINT my coins. I get my 5% by keeping coins X amount of days untouched in my wallet but 5% of zero is zero. If I were to move them, it would not be for any kind of product because it's not an option. It would be to an exchange, to change to BTC, to another altcoin in hopes of riding their waves, then back to BTC. Wash, rinse, repeat until the exchange closes and steals yo shit.
The MINT cards are a great idea for those that like to collect things, beyond that it doesn't have any appeal to me unfortunately.
I'll show myself out
