Would you like the VPS to keep no logs and to be hosted in a country with little legal framework with the USA? (aka dont end up like DPR?)

No, I don't need that Just a reliable service at a fair price!

The operative term here is "commodity" though. Your points are regarding a "currency", where you buy things with it.  I'm not saying having currency value for the coin is not desirable, but the value of a crypto-commodity may not be in how many things you can buy with it, but how much currency you can exchange it for at some point down the road.  

 

Other "true" crypto-currency projects aim to provide the near-instant transactions and other features that will be needed for a widely adopted currency.  MNC has the stats to hold out long-term and be a viable support for those other currencies. (But currency uses are sure welcomed, in the meantime!)

I understand your point about 'commodity' vs 'currency'.

Alt coins are very competitive now, and I am of the opinion that a number of crypto coins will survive and prosper, and I think mincoin will be one of them!

The coins that die will be the ones that have the least number of 'exit' points, and thus, will not generate enough confidence & trust from users. Many coins will have exit points at exchanges only, and for a while that will be enough for people to have confidence and trust enough to hold them.

In the medium to longer term I think the coins that maximise exit points through eCommerce (i.e. buying things through shopping carts) will be the ones that are around in 5 years time. They will have more utility.

IMO there will be too many 'commodity coins' for all of them to survive - the ones that actively promote themselves as currencies will have the best chances.

I will try to track down a dev for you guys if you can offer a bounty/usd

Great Idea!!

What do you mean, like a wallet with qr code support?  I can't help develop but I second your want.

Exactly! A wallet with QR support. The alt coins who are serious about surviving long term need an app IMO

Yeah, thanks for putting this guide together. I'm a newby, but I feel inspired to get myself a GPU card and have a go. Without good instructions it would take ages to work it out. Cheers

Hi, I'm new to mincoin , and rather new to crypto coins in general. Still learning, but mincoin stands out from a lot of the other alt coins. This forum is really great, especially the mining guide - thanks!

Is an android app for mincoin planned? That would really set this coin apart from the rest

I noticed the mincoin difficulty is under 1 - does that mean mincoin isn't being mined heavily at the moment? Sorry for newby question - Just starting out with mining

I'm only CPU mining at the moment. Is it worth it? How much for a decent GPU card? I don't have much money, so would be keen for second hand if available. If I use a 3Ghz CPU only, how many MNC could I mine in a day?

I found mincoin from a google search on mcxNOW. Went to bitcointalk and then onto this forum. Very easy to find

Like all crypto coins, the real test is this: can you buy something real with mincoin? If in 12 months the answer is 'Yes', then mincoin will be a huge success! Trading a coin is one thing, but without goods/services to buy with MNC, mincoin's future is uncertain.

Whoever got MNC onto mcxNOW deserves a lot of thanks! That site will make mincoin a long term stable growth coin. I've been using mcxNOW for a while now and it's by far the stand out exchange. Well done mincoin dev team!

1 - simple gambling & dice games

2 - pay for VPS with MNC

3 - Ripple gateway issuing MNC IOUs

A mincoin faucet would be a great idea! It's the only way for non miners to get any coins. More people having MNC is critical!
