As I'm reviewing the thread I see several mentions of features that are not in the github wallet and I'm left wondering what I've done wrong.


It takes 8 hours for you to be holding the coins for them to become mature (at LEAST 8 hours).  You have to unlock your wallet though or that will not happen.  You have already encrypted it so all you have to do is click settings and click unlock wallet and put your password in.  You will see a little box there that should already be checked that says For Staking Only.  Sometimes **after you unlock your wallet it will take several seconds to show that it is unlocked** but you can either hover your mouse over the icons at the bottom right or just wait a few and the little circle will turn GREEN.  You have to leave it opened a lot to get the wanted results.



Make sure you enable the "display coin control" option in preferences


I have neither of these options in the linux wallet.  I know what I should be looking for since I've seen the clock feature in other POS wallets.  What am I missing?

Has there been any work done to incorporate btcd payments into online vendors like bongocoin?  Surely if dogecoin and mintcoin are acceptable, bitcoindark should have a presence in this arena as well.  I'm just wondering if the only mechanisms for spending the currency is through games or trading sites.

I transferred some darkcoin into atomic-trade about 2 hours ago.  No pending deposit, no balance.  I tried to open a chat with support, no one available.  I opened a ticket, they didn't give me a ticket number for reference and they haven't responded as of yet.  I would suggest that anyone planning on doing business at this site, take my experience to heart.  I'll update this thread if things work out, but I'm starting to be concerned.

It's been about 8 hours since my deposit was recorded in the blockchain.  I have not received a reply to my ticket nor has my account wallet been updated to reflect a change in the balance.  Luckily (I suppose) the transaction indicates that the funds have not been redeemed.  Presumably, they are still awaiting some resuscitation on the site back end.  I am still holding out hope.  I just thought other potential customers of this site should be aware of the turn-around time for having tickets resolved through this exchange.

Try catching Byron in chat or on the twitter.  For a one man team, the support is excellent.
I've never heard of anyone having a issue go unresolved or unresponded to for very long.  From my own experience I've had issues fixed within 24 hours which is faster then any other exchange I've used (and some of those actually employed support teams!).
Its one of the reasons I choosing Atomic as my preferred exchange as I've found it to reliable and trustworthy.  I have no concerns about using it or keeping my coins there and have been a member for months now without problems.

Darkwallet functionality has been restored, ticket turnaround time 11 hours.  Thank you Byron.

I read the white paper.

Since when sending to X different address is considered a sufficient anonymous feature ?
This won't resist a serious taint analysis !

Jesus Christ man be more specific, not even a sober people could make sense of this jibber jabber.

While this question was poorly worded, it is sufficiently specific.  How does dividing coins up and sending them through X different addresses create an anonymous transaction?  The answer is, it doesn't.  Taint analysis of dark wallet proved this.

Re: [ANN][MINT]Mintcoin V1.9.1, Energy Saving Coin *27 Exchanges *59 Merchants

I'm beta testing the mintcoin android wallet for paspi.  The second revision of the wallet has seen some pretty dramatic speed increases and the wallet is shaping up very nicely.  I believe the first iteration will definitely fill the need of those requiring a fast mobile payment system without staking support.  

Things that still need work.
1) payment notification icons need to be update from the old Doge icons to the Mint icons.  This work is done but has not been merged yet.
2) The exchange rate service is not working as of yet.  This was working in the older wallet source.  I'm not sure what has changed in this yet.
3) There's an initial delay from when the application starts to the first display page of 15 to 30 seconds.
4) Occasionally I'm receiving an android notification that the application may be hung and given the option to wait or dismiss.  Clicking wait will allow the wallet to recover.

Will update as more testing occurs.

Paspi: might I suggest not releasing the source code to mintcoin android wallet/mintcoinj immediately. I would suggest giving it a 6 month grace period to give mintcoin a head start, otherwise it will be copied to every other pos coin immediately and give mintcoin no intrinsic value. Thoughts?

Its double edged sword. Do you trust a stranger with your coins without knowing what is inside the code?
I guess, its the idea which needs to be discussed, but i doubt that there will be much pro´s for keeping source code private.

I didn't think about this aspect. I just worry that paspi's work will not benefit mintcoin and this his bounty won't really be worth it as larger volume coins like blackcoin or cinni reap the benefits of his hard work.

Unfortunately, due to the licensing restrictions, mintcoinj would still be considered a derivative work since it was cloned from the bitcoinj library.  Therefore, the person releasing the binaries must also make the source code available or risk a lawsuit.

Android wallet update 6:

Good news!

The following is the first transaction ever received and forwarded by mintcoinj Cheesy


http://mint.blockx.info/get/tx/68fec0ad06a76d1d37de929e14b6ad6d17352b715de4f5bcce648333e9bc4a9c

http://i.imgur.com/NxLHY3K.png




What's included & currently working in mintcoinj:

  • The first POW+POS java bitcoin library
  • A TxTracking blockchain & blockstore implementation: a compromise between Full Pruned Block Chain and SPV Block Chain
    • Like a Full Pruned Block Chain, it keeps track of ALL unspent transaction outputs since genesis block. Removes unnecessary old data.
    • It only verifies scripts of coinstake transactions (1 coinstake per POS block), so CPU-wise it is light-weight like a SPV Block Chain
    • Unfortunately, it is not as lightweight as a Simple Payment Verification system, but technically there is no way to make bitcoin-SPV style for a POS coin security-wise.
    • Processed data holds around 67 mb on disk (as of block 343262).
  • Proof of Stake Protocol (PPCoin v0.3) : 
    • Blockchain calculates stake modifiers correctly
    • Blockchain calculates and verifies stake hashes correctly (Modifiers mentioned above are required for verification). This guarantees the core security of a POS coin.
    • Block signatures are supported and verified (PPCoin protocol requires each block has to be signed by owner of coinstake to prevent replaying attacks)
  • Various security aspects handled due to being POS coin:
    • Attacks caused by flooding side chains with invalid POS blocks (blocks that have correct header difficulty, but don't match coinstake protocol) are rejected on receipt, so the low block header difficulty won't cause attacks (Normal bitcoinj trusts only header difficulty, as expected for a POW only coin. This is not the case for POW+POS coins)
    • Similarly, flooding side chains with unverifiable POS blocks (blocks that have correct header diff, but unable to verify/reject coinstake due to the output being spent&removed on main chain) are prevented due to ignorance of their difficulty. A side chain can overcome the main chain only if its *verifiable* blocks constitute a greater amount of work. Unverifiable blocks count as zero work (Until side chain becomes the main chain, where every block will be verified one by one on reorganization)

Congratulations, this is awesome news!  I look forward to reviewing the code on github.  If you need help with configuration of the android wallet source, send me a pm.  This is a good day for all POS coins.

I've been discussing the mintcoinj library with paspi and have sent him the link to the front-end android wallet source.  I feel terrible for letting this project languish but I've had some big projects at my day job dominating my time.  I'm looking forward to the success of this project. 

Go Seahawks!

I plan to provide an update on the status of the Android wallet weekly until such time as the bounty is removed.  I've completed all of the cosmetic and translation work in the wallet.  I've begun work in the mintcoinj library.  As thisisit mentioned, this portion is slow going but progress is being made.  I have made the code changes to allow outgoing peer connections on the main mintcoin network.  Currently I'm working through some protocol & deserialization exceptions attempting to download the blockchain.  Any updates to the mintcoin wiki in the form of protocol specifications and testnet configurations (if any) would be greatly appreciated.  Keep checking the URL of my original post for updated screenshots.

I'm currently working to collect the bounty on the Android wallet.  There is still some work to do in the mintcoinj library but the front-end is almost finished.  Here are the current screenshots:

I've spent about a day trying to point my miners to the mintcoin multipool but have been met with several failures.  I was using cgminer and it appeared to be working.  I was definitely hashing blocks but my address didn't show up in the list of miners.  I did a little research and found that cgminer was unsupported.  I downloaded sgminer 4.10 and compiled for ubuntu linux.  The compile completed successfully however whenever I attempt to connect, I get a segmentation fault from sgminer.  I guess I'll continue to use cgminer with a standard multipool and exchange for mintcoin manually.  Any idea when or if cgminer will ever be supported by the mintcoin multipool?
