Anyone else having issues with Mintpal? The server down?
You guys should really consider diversifying a bit from the Mintpal exchange anyway. Try using Poloniex...
https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_mintFee is only .005% higher, but you get a lot more additional features such as the ability to do Stop-Limit orders, and charts that track moving averages, Bollinger bands, Fib Levels, etc. Probably worth it, imo.

Overall I'm quite happy with Mintpal.
While I have an account at Poloniex, I prefer Mintpal.
The only reason I would consider switching to Poloniex is if Mintcoin was delisted from Mintpal due to low trading volume.
