If this coin is so bad in terms of price, features and developers, as others have passionately pointed out, why then is the difficulty not dropping? Why are miners still mining this coin? Are there not other coins that are now more profitable?

Any chance MIL can rise up from the dead? A Chinese exchange is one good option for relisting.

Chinese exchanges? It could be a good idea and could give MIL a new start in a new market. How about it Yarkol? Would you reconsider?

Yarkol,

Maybe Poloniex and Alcurex will respond one of these days.

I understand if you want to quit crypto. I read many famous personalities in crypto already quit or took a long break for one reason or another. (from Dogecoin, Litecoin, and even Bitcoin, to name a few, if I'm not mistaken)

It is regrettable that this has to happen in the midst of new ideas in digital coin development like Ethereum and others. This year 2016 is a good start for MIL with a bullish bitcoin and altcoin market. There were some setbacks when we lost the MIL explorer (was not renewed) and I noticed E9800 became inactive. I read he was one of the most active proponents of MIL.

The positive was that you started developing the coin again. Adding to that, trading volume and frequency in MIL were also increasing and the nearing next version release seems to be a game changer in crypto and coin anonymity.

Whatever your decision, I'll respect it. I considered MIL a dream investment, it was a long shot but like they said, it might just happen. At least you care enough to settle the fate of the coin rather than leave supporters in the dark like what other coin developers did. Thank you for all your efforts.

I was hoping it will not happen but MIL is no longer tradable in Poloniex. My cheap bid was not even hit even with the announcement of delisting.

I hope MIL can be listed again soon in another exchange. Good luck MIL holders.

That's also what immediately came to my mind. Increasing volume and number of trades. But was included for delisting? Strange. I hope it was just a mistake.

Hi Yarkol,

I sent to you the transactions details via pm. When I saw the delegate transaction, I figured you might be doing some tests or someone was already using the coin for real.

Hi Yarkol,

Last night, I saw a delegate transaction appear in my wallet. It is in light blue color. It says it is an unfinished delegate transaction. I tried to double click on the transaction and click retrieve, but it says "transaction unknown." How can I retrieve the coins used?

What's also interesting is the volume of trades. I haven't seen that amount of BTC coming into MIL trading for a very long time.

Thank you for tempering our expectations Yarkol. If I remember it right, this is the only time that a big investor bought that much MIL for that big amount of BTC. You are right, if the coin has generated an interest in someone or some group, new nodes should appear and trading activity should be high for a number of days. Whatever the reason of the buyer, I still welcome it as a positive development.

Increased traffic in this thread can take some time, as some details about MIL in the first page need to be updated, especially with the new features you are adding.

Thanks for the update, I hope the testing goes well. I also hope you find a good employment soon. If by any chance MIL gets the interest of traders, that would be great and may give you more time and resources to concentrate on improving the coin.

Almost every day I check this thread for news and also the daily trading of MIL in polo. My jaw almost dropped to the floor today when I saw the 50 BTC worth of MIL traded. Somebody scooped up that many MIL. Wow! That will surely attract attention. 

Many of the original supporters or community of MIL when it debuted in Poloniex with its ICO are probably gone now. We all know what happened after that ICO. The community maybe small but if I take a look at the page views of this thread, there is some interest but the readers are just quiet.

The hope that is giving life to MIL now is your development,  innovation and hard work for MIL. A new bigger community may come when they see the unique features of MIL when it is complete. Trading has picked up for the coin and you are now giving updates on development. I hope it's just a matter of time for the community to grow.

Thank you for the explanation Yarkol, that was very informative. I can't wait for the next version of MIL. I have a feeling you have some pretty cool surprises.

Your explanation is very interesting Yarkol. I'm not a developer but because MIL already has a smart contract, would it be possible to extend that feature in the future to have other smart contracts for other purposes? The idea is that from  a coin designed for extreme privacy and anonymity with an infrastructure for vendors and buyers, another layer or feature set will be added to enable other smart contracts like those being pushed by other altcoins. Does that make sense or even practical?

I also set up a delegate wallet. I also experienced what crypto182 posted. Adding the entry addnode=wppdomsuhxfnjsaf.onion fixed the syncing problem. I hope the testing goes well.

It looks like many altcoins are moving in Polo, MIL included. Here's hoping that MIL will take center stage someday.

Yup, 737312, that's what I saw from my other wallet trying to sync awhile ago. At the time of this writing, I'm seeing 737340.

Interest in MIL seems to be starting to pick up. There's even some buying interest in Poloniex.

Here's the MIL wallet I've been using and the accompanying conf file. Put the conf file in your C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MillenniumCoin  folder. Just replace YOUR USERNAME with the username you use in Windows or the one shown in your C:\Users folder.  As for the MIL wallet program, you can put it anywhere you like.

Here's the latest complete blk0001.dat file of MIL as of about 30 minutes ago. It's a 208 MB zip file.

That would be ideal, the dev and the community all contributing to the advancement of a coin.

But at the start, someone has to lead, someone has to inspire and convince people that a project is worth supporting, either for the betterment of society or financial gain. I think that challenge falls on the shoulders of the dev or founders because he or they have the initial vision and expertise to develop the project.

With so many competing altcoins and scams perpetrated by many devs and their supporters, building and growing a community around an altcoin is not that easy.

That's why it's quite admirable to see some devs pursue projects amidst so many odds and challenges.
