Kind of. Well when you "mine" a coin it's just created out of thin air. Except instead of mining, when the PoW period is over, the only way the coins can be created is by PoS (interest). A coin sitting in your wallet for a year becomes 1.2 coins.

Not necessarily. The reason people made altcoins is because of bitcoin's problems. With that in mind, the fact that most altcoins aren't really used at all outside of investing makes them risky. Mint's an exception, though, since of muh interest rates.

Over the next 17 days the price will probably creep up to double what it is now.

If there are no services announced during that time then the coin is probably gonna tank hard when it goes pure proof of stake.

If there announced services that MINT can be used for by the time it goes proof of stake only, then maybe the price will rise or atleast stabilise. At that point holding may be worthwhile but honestly I only see potention for the next couple of weeks to grab some more BTC off what I started.

When you look at Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and other crypto, there are many websites and even real businesses that are accepting of them as a means of payment.

There is a great deal of risk in having the coin go PURELY Proof-of-Stake without some use for the coin outside of purely trading, as it will intimidate many from becoming involved in the market.

If there isnt atleast something that can draw people to using MINT then the miners and bagholders (Myself included) will probably just start to sell off most (some cases maybe all) of their coins and the value will fall harshly.

Over the next couple of weeks MINT might prove to be great for traders but unless it gets some longer term prospects it might fail in a month or so.

I would be careful on buying right now, the price could keep rising in the short term, but it could also drop if there is a large dump. I would say perhaps buy a BTC and have it sat in Mintpal, and if the price of MINT falls you should consider buying in.

You would sell the MINT for BTC on an exchange, then either move the BTC to your BTC wallet to keep hold of, or directly to another exchange to sell the BTC for fiat of your choice (Generally exchanges all run in USD). Then withdraw the dollars with whatever method the exchange offers.

When you hold MINT on Mintpal or other exchange, do they hold each individuals MINT in their own wallets, or in one large wallet the exchange uses for all its held MINT (Minus transaction fees) and then merely allocate your account the respective amount of MINT?

It can be difficult to decide on what pool to use as large pools you will recieve less of a share when they discover a block, but they may be more reliable in finding the blocks so it could work out better than mining in a smaller pool where your share would be larger.

I use http://mint.dedicatedpool.com/ at the moment but I usually check around every couple of days to see if I might be better off in another. If you're new to mining then I would just get started and learn about mining before worrying too much about your choice of pool.

Most of the mintcoin faggots in this thread have been giving similar advice. It really is a guessing game as to the value when the coin goes pure proof of stake.

Like I pointed out earlier, without services to back up the coin, there won't be much interest outside of speculation. Doubtless there will be bagholders and people that begin to speculate after the (likely, but not inevitable) crash on the change, but if there are services announced soon, we may see the value retained.

Among other reasons. All cryptocoins are scams without additional features. You can profit off BTC or LTC, TIPS have a coin-mixing feature (albeit half-assed), and future coins like Zero have anonymity.

jw what is the benefit of that? I do not think they work as a hive mind concept do they? they would have many workers splitting work, not doing it together right??

Well, in their case it's because they all pooled their money to build the miners. Each payout is just split %wise between them. Makes things really easy as long as the person getting the paid isn't a fuck, which in their case they aren't.

Go read any of the recent DOGE/PND threads and you tell me.

Enough people complained about supposed wolong shills and shitposting that it happened. My money is on it was just a few people trolling the threads but if it can actually stop some of the shitposting then I'm all for it.

Atleast they removed the "Heaven" ID for sages, so people can use board features without being gangraped publicly for using them.

My cousin told me he just got hired by a brokerage firm or something to look for green companies to invest in. Two days ago I told him to buy mintcoins, first time in years we've talked. He thanked me for the tip. I don't think he bought.

Am anxiously awaiting his phone call. Should I give him a 1:00 AM reminder call?
