We should all come together on Christmas Eve December 24th, 2019 at 8 pm UTC for Mincoin's 2019 All Hands Family-Meeting (date and time will be based on whatever the majority vote determines)!

I will not be in attendance for a Christmas Eve meeting, I have prior obligations.

 

YOU ARE HERE

• Actively testing
• Running the latest pre-release
• Trying to make a backup

    We are going to try something new. Send 0.001 tMNC (one milli-mincoin) to the following address by scanning the QR code using mincoin-wallet for Android. This will help me to measure engagement.

    You will find the latest pre-release linked as a pinned message in the #android-wallet channel on Discord.

 

Create a Backup

    First, open mincoin-wallet and then touch the three dots near the top right (below the battery indicator).

    Next, choose "Safety" and new menu will appear. Then, choose "Back up wallet" to continue.

    Your backup will be encrypted with the chosen password and written to storage.

    Input and then verify a strong password. When you are done, touch OK.

    You can accept the default directory and filename by touching SAVE.  On my device, this creates a new file including a date in the suffix.

/sdcard/Download/mincoin-wallet-backup-testnet-2019-07-27-14-47

    Afterwards, we are asked to remember the backup password.

 

    The next step is one way to copy the new backup file to your computer for safe-keeping.

    We are going to use the Android Debug Bridge (adb) to copy the backup file to our computer.

    Start by enabling Developer options and turning on USB debugging.

    Connect the USB cable to your computer and allow the incoming connection.

    In your console, type "adb devices" and look for output showing the list of devices attached.

List of devices attached
<IDENTIFIER>    device

    Afterwards you can pull the entire download directory into your present working directory with the following command.

adb pull /sdcard/Download/ .

 

    Thanks for reading and helping to test the pre-release of our mincoin-wallet for Android!

The torpassword value is used in combination with a torrc, see the bottom of this article for more information about connecting to Tor's control socket API.

Thanks for the thoughtful outline @lovetolearn.

I will work on taking good notes for us while I'm not busy listening intently - so that we have good material to review afterwards for action items and such.

As this will be town-hall style, people should feel encouraged to ask or discuss anything they wish.

Hello,

    We are organizing a meeting of the minds scheduled Friday, December 28th to discuss the project. Everyone is welcome. We anticipate there will be participation on Discord in both the voice and text channels. Our community is located around the planet in various timezones and we know adhering to a strict schedule will be challenging. We will try to coordinate a time which works for everyone. Please share your availability and topics for discussion in this thread. I hope you will join us!

Best Regards,

Hi @Cryptobud,

    Thanks for your interest in promoting the Mincoin network!

    We definitely would like views on quality videos showcasing our wallet and transaction speed.

    You would need to know enough about our brand to be an authoritative spokesperson for the aspects of our currency which define us and we would need to pay as we go in order to meet our goals for total views.

    Target #1 - 10,000 views with 25% clicking a link provided by us for you to share with your audience.

    The link may be a Facebook group / like or something similar decided upon by the group.

    Measured success would define the terms of payment.

    We transact in MNC.

Best Regards

Pool Explorer's service saves you the time looking for new coins to mine and selecting the best pool for them.

They are analyzing every coin from all of the pools and display it for you in one place for your convenience.

• View the coins for your selected mining algorithms
• View the list of pools where your selected coin is mineable with sorting by number of blocks found in 24 hours (top pool)
• Sorting of the entire coin list by block height (you can see new coins)
• Filtering of coins by algo
• Automatic new coins notifications when a coin is added on a pool in Telegram and Discord
• You can immediately see which pool has added the coin first and start mining right away
• When a new pool with a higher hashrate appears, this pool will be displayed in our service

Hello,

    The CSV softfork rules will activate only after they are locked-in.

    In order to lock-in the CSV softfork, miners must build blocks signaling support for it.

    We define the rule change activation threshold in line 85 of src/chainparams.cpp.

    Therein, we see during a timespan of 20160 blocks, 95% of them must signal support for the softfork.

    Since there is no overlap between the timespans with regard to CSV softfork rule activation, we need to know when a timespan begins in order to count the blocks signaling support for it during the timespan.

    There have already been 102 timespans of 20160 blocks in our chain.

    The 103rd timespan of 20160 blocks began at height 2056320, 1543635824 seconds after the epoch on 12/01/2018 @ 3:43am (UTC).

    The 104th timespan of 20160 blocks will begin at height 2076480.

    The 105th timespan of 20160 blocks will begin at height 2096640.

 

    Since 95% of the blocks during a timespan of 20160 blocks must signal support for the softfork, this implies if there are 1008 blocks or more during a timespan which do not signal support for the softfork then it will be impossible to lock-in CSV until after the next timespan.

    (1 - 0.95) * 20160 = 1008

 

    It is impossible to lock-in CSV at the end of the 103rd timespan because there have already been more than 1008 v2 blocks mined during the timespan using older software (Mincoin v0.8.8.0).

    Therefore, the earliest possible lock-in for the CSV softfork will be after the 104th timespan and the earliest possible activation will be after the 105th timespan.

    At this rate, we estimate the earliest possible activation for the CSV softfork to be in 33d 7h 25m on 01/12/2019 @ 7:33am (UTC).

Hello,

    Thanks to the support of miners around the planet, support for BIP66 and BIP65 is over 75% in the last 10,000 blocks.

    Once 95% of the last 10,000 blocks are mined using the v0.13.0 wallet the BIPs will become active and blocks from the earlier wallets will be rejected.

"Good Afternoon. We would like to know about questions that this company may have about adopting Mincoin to pay employees and as a way of receiving payments for products and services that Amazon offers. Please visit us at https://www.mincoin.us/ to get more info about how to contact us and other important details that can save you some time - feel free to reply via Messages on Twitter as well. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!" 

Okay, so the first thing which comes to mind is that we are asking Mr. Voguls to do work by saying he should come to our website and learn how to contact us.

Since the CTO is a business professional, I would imagine a business letter might be a good format to use.

A business letter doesn't necessarily have to be in dead tree format either. Creating a PDF on some letterhead we produce would be more professional and also provide an opportunity for us to include attachments which are similarly well formatted.

 

I especially like this exercise because it is saying, "Pitch the CTO of Amazon", but in reality I see we are working towards a communication process which could be used over and over again with various merchants, vendors and employers globally.

 

This is the kind of outreach we will want to first cobble together in English, revise and polish and then translate for more widespread dissemination.

Thanks - found it!!

Definitely awesome.

I'm willing to trade some altcoins for mincoins before they get listed on an exchange.

@newline this is really interesting! Can we exchange for mincoins today?

What kind of network hash rate do you think there we'll be after MinCoin is listed on an exchange?

Should I rent some hash now while mining mincoins is still relatively cheap or can I just buy mincoins from someone privately for bitcoins?

I like this!

In other words I should be able to send Milli-MinCoins and Micro-MinCoins without paying a huge fee?

If so, Satoshi would be proud of you all.

Which versions will it be compatible with on Mac?
