Hi guys

I am a super novice at all this altcoin business. I made a bit of money from 5 Litecoins over the last week, and decided to use some of it to buy Mintcoin through Cryptopia because the concept sounded legitimate and promising. 

And then downloaded the v2 Mintcoin wallet on my Mac and transferred all my Mintcoins to it.

The problem is that I had not waited for my wallet to synch before making the transfer. And the transfer is reaaaaaallly slow. So this raises a few questions:

1) how much disk space does synching the Mintcoin wallet take?
2) apparently the MintCoin Snapshot is means to be quicker, and I am downloading it now.  But will that have a different address than the wallet I originally transferred my Mintcoins to? How do I make sure my address stays the same so I actually receive the icy fresh Mint.
3) will I receive my Mintcoins?!

Sorry if some of these questions have been answered. Again, I have ZERO knowledge in altcoins, and it seems that I got involved in Mintcoins which requires an advanced understanding of these things. 

Much peace
