I've updated the article to refer to a brand new bootstrap.dat made fresh today.

crytoguru tend to block the IP address from my country. And you have to pay some money to get it white listed. 

This is good to know.  We'll have to ask the other Mincoiners from around the globe if they too have trouble in their country.

Hello,

    A new user asked me if I had heard of CryptoChat and CryptoGuru.

    Apparently they are very popular.

    I'm asking the community to kindly look into them and determine whether it would be suitable for us to complete a registration.

 

Best Regards,

Im new. 

I have become an associates, yellow team

    We are building the Mincoin backbone and need your help to be the best network.

    Operating a full node is easy and we want to empower the community to help one another.

    Follow this tutorial for a basic full node installation.

 

    First, we must configure Windows to show file extensions.

    Don't skip this step.

• Open Windows Explorer.

• Click Organize and then Folder and search options and then the View tab.
• Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types and then click Ok.

    Now we will begin the installation of a full Mincoin node.

 

• Download mincoin-0.8.8.0-win32.zip
• Extract the contents and find mincoin-0.8.8.0-win32-setup.

• Double-click mincoin-0.8.8.0-win32-setup and say Yes to User Account Control if prompted.
• The Mincoin Setup program appears.
• Click Next to continue.

• Click Next to choose the default Install Location.

• Click Install.

• Click Next to complete the installation.

• Keep Run Mincoin checked and click Finish.

• Press CTRL-Q to exit Mincoin.

    We have now completed the Mincoin wallet installation.

    Be sure to exit the program (CTRL-Q) after it runs for the first time.

 

    The next few steps enable onion routing for Mincoin which improves global accessibility.

• Download the Tor Expert Bundle for Microsoft Windows.

    NOTE: Make sure you download the Expert Bundle and not the Tor Browser.

• Extract the contents to your desktop.

• Double-click Tor to see the contents of the directory.

• Double-click tor.exe to start the program.
• Uncheck Always ask before opening this file and then click Run.

• A new window will appear and Tor will begin bootstrapping.

• Wait until you see Bootstrapped 100% and then close the program.

        Next we will prepare the Tor configuration file.

• Open Windows Explorer.

• Type %APPDATA%\tor into the Address Bar and then press <Enter>.

• Right-click inside the whitespace of the Windows Explorer window and click New and then Text Document.
• Type torrc into the box and press <Enter>.

    Another warning will appear about changing a file name extension.

• Click Yes to rename the file.

    Notice the Windows Explorer Type column shows File for torrc.

    If your screen shows Text File in the Type column you skipped the first step and must uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.

• Double-click torrc.

    A new window will appear asking you to Choose the program you want to use to open this file.

• Click Notepad and then OK.

• Add two lines to the file and press CTRL-S to save and then exit Notepad.

    Now we can start Tor and it will listen for Mincoin connections on a special onion address.

• Double-click tor.exe to start the program.

    You are ready to continue when you see Bootstrapped 100%: Done.

• Minimize the Tor window to the background.

    If you did the above step correctly a new C:\Tor\hostname file was created.

    Next we need to inspect C:\Tor\hostname to learn the onion address so we can add it into mincoin.conf.

• Open a Windows Explorer window.

• Type C:\Tor\hostname into the Address Bar and then press <Enter>.

    A new window will appear asking you to Choose the program you want to use to open this file.

• Click Notepad and then OK.

    You will find <youraddress>.onion inside of C:\Tor\hostname.

• Make a note of your <youraddress>.onion. We will use it soon.

    Now we must stage a Mincoin bootstrap.dat to synchronize with the network efficiently.

• Open a Windows Explorer window.

• Type %APPDATA%\Mincoin into the Address Bar and then press <Enter>.

• Download Mincoin-2004937-bootstrap.dat and then drag it into the %APPDATA%\Mincoin folder.
• Alternate link from mega.nz is faster for international users.

• Rename the file to bootstrap.dat.

 

    Next we will prepare the mincoin.conf file.

• Right-click inside the whitespace of the Windows Explorer window and click New and then Text Document.
• Type mincoin.conf into the box and press <Enter>.

    Another warning will appear about changing a file name extension.

• Click Yes to rename the file.

    Notice the Windows Explorer Type column shows CONF File for mincoin.conf.

    If your screen shows Text File in the Type column you skipped the first step and must uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.

• Double-click mincoin.conf.

    A new window will appear indicating Windows can't open this file.

• Choose Select a program from a list of installed programs and then click OK.

    A new window will appear asking you to Choose the program you want to use to open this file.

• Ensure Always use the selected program to open this kind of file is checked.
• Click Notepad and then OK.

• Add these lines into mincoin.conf and set externalip=<youraddress>.onion.
• Press CTRL-S to save mincoin.conf and then exit Notepad.

NOTE: <youraddress>.onion is the value you found earlier inside of C:\Tor\hostname.

 

Now launch the wallet by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Mincoin -> Mincoin.

An error window will appear asking if you want to rebuild the block index now.

• Click OK.

    A moment later the Mincoin program will begin importing blocks from the bootstrap.dat file.

    At this point you will notice the status bar on the bottom left of the Mincoin window reads Importing blocks from disk...

    When the bootstrap completes, your node will synchronize with the Mainnet peer swarm to obtain the latest blocks.

    If your router has UPnP enabled then you will see more than 8 connections to the network.

• From the menu bar at the top of the wallet, click Help and then Debug window.

    Verify the Number of connections value is greater than 8 to ensure incoming connections are being accepted.

    Next we will add onion seed node address.

• Click the Console tab.
• Type addnode fkhwktieszixa2d2.onion onetry and then press <Enter>.
• Type addnode cyixu5mrodmjbkpr.onion onetry and then press <Enter>.

• Close the Debug Window.

    Once the synchronization has completed, the Overview page should appear similar to the following.

    Everything is now ready and the configuration is complete.

    Congratulations! You made it this far, you are now operating a full node and helping the Mincoin network.

    When you want to quit using Mincoin, close the program and also exit the tor.exe window you have in the background.

    To start using the wallet again in the future, first start tor.exe, then minimize it and then start Mincoin.

You certainly can hedge your Litecoin investment if you mine Mincoin for a week or two.

Litecoin will have 84M coins and is already 63.4% through their emission, which is going to half and half and half.

Mincoin will only ever produce 10M coins and does not half, because the 2 MNC every one minute is constant.  Consequently, Mincoin is only 38% through its distribution and should become quite an interesting coin.

LOVE IT

Ethereum is a joke just like the central banking cabal.

I like it too.  Time for a reboot though - something dramatic.

Thanks, wallets work good - installer is clean, I found the network and had more than 8 connections pretty much immediately.

You can basically pay at Mining Rig Rentals and then mine some Mincoin today if nobody makes you an offer.

You might be off by a few orders of magnitude.  Mincoin 1Th/s before spring.

I'd like to see terrahash support on Mincoin!

Thanks for all of the new developments this summer!

Well I fought hard for MNC when CPU mining back in 2013... seeing 0.008 would be an awesome reward for being patient.

Thanks, the OS X wallet works great!

I like how Mincoin has a linear distribution of 2 MNC every minute for 10 years -- that's pretty special and better than a big emission early and then pennies later.

Welcome aboard!  We have live chat too over on freenode in the #mincoin channel and have also created a Slack workspace.  The invite is good for the next 4 weeks or the first 1,000 users, whichever comes first and then we'll share a new invite link.

Awesome

Looks like Mincoin is on-track to do this.

Can anybody tell me something more about Onecoin ? If any of you have used it? If so - is it worth the investment? Is it related to Bitcoin?

 

 

Well, did you ever look into it more?  How did it turn out for you?

Are you still into Mincoin too?

How do we pay in Mincoin? Is it automated?

Yeah, Mincoin is bigtime!
