Community Feedback

Earlier this month, we asked members of the community what their favorite thing that has happened with Mintcoin in the past month. We heard some great things from you guys! Here is what everyone had to say:

“I personally love that the Linux Mint team started accepting donations in the form of Mintcoins. Definitely something to raise awareness of the coin and add to the family of unaffiliated, yet similarly named, products and services. (Mintcoin, Mintpal, Linux Mint)” – Scribblesocks

“My favorite thing that happened this month is the same thing that happened last month…and that is, I minted more coins then I ever have before! No surprise…saving all my mints and buying a little more each month. All I can say is Mintcoin is working out exactly as planned, it is a great passive income generator and extremely fast. Next month it will be more of the same, as Mintcoin get’s better and better the longer you hold it.” – YesManNoSir

“My favorite thing that happened so far this month with Mintcoin is that my Mintcoins began paying interest and minting more coins.” – MasterKey2

“My favourite thing that happened was that in just one month I got involved with Mintcoin & minted my first coins! I went from using a faucet and researching what the coin was about, to buying some coins, and just a few days ago getting my first minted coins! Amazing community, amazing coin, and the potential for more minting next month!” -AutocraticHilarity

“My favorite Mint-related thing over the last month was watching the minting process happen on the millions that I acquired at these insane-low prices. This coin is seriously undervalued.” – ruddsd01

“My favorite thing that has happened in the past month is that the developer seems to becoming more and more active in the community. I don’t think anyone expects constant innovations, but the developers checking in with the community goes a long way to ease concerns and build community trust in this coin for the long term. Since we all know this is a technologically sound coins, it’s nice to see more attention being paid to the community surrounding it which should only continue to draw in more investors.” – brudda

“My favourite thing is that I found Mintcoin! Have been doing research over the last few hours, downloaded the wallet, and am looking at ways to get involved!” – Cryptomonium

“My favorite thing: 15 successful mints this month :)” – Cptnshiy

“I’m happy being part of this community. I just collected an awesome bounty for helping out the the social media design assets. I truly believe in mintcoin and excited to work on future mintcoin projects. We NOW accept mintcoin for font licensing!” – Max, Xerographer Fonts

“Mintcoin is one of a handful of select coins included with Moolah.io’s merchant and Point-of-Sale terminal services as well as that exchange’s storefront. Mintcoin continues to shine as a viable Alt coin and the highest percentage staking coin among these.

Cheers,

Mark”

That’s all for this Mintcoin newsletter! Look out for another one next month!

Best wishes,

Mintcoin Press Release: For Immediate Distribution

As of Friday, July 18^th 2014 the Mintcoin Developer (MintcoinTeam) has contacted me and delivered all Mintcoin Community assets and is stepping back from his position.

Completed Transitions: With the assistance of the Developer the community now has full ownership of Facebook, MintcoinTalk, Reddit and Bitcoin Ann. We are also hosting Mintcoin.cc and Mintcoinfund.org.

Pending Transitions: The developer is waiting for twitter’s customer service to respond to him so we may gain the twitter handle’s password.

Where is the Pre-Mine? The pre-mine has not existed for some time.

What’s Next?

Reliable Hosting Solution
I would like to reach out to the community and offer free hosting for block explorers, forums, bounty sites or any other core Mintcoin oriented site to assist in the reliability of the communities communication points.

I would like to personally thank him for all his time and effort in both developing a magnificent coin with a dependable, slick and easy to use wallet, amazing community and of course the Mintcoin Fund.

Real Open Conversations
The community has spoken on several occasions that the moderating of the communication platforms has been swayed to influence the beliefs of a single person rather than the community as a whole. With these changes I will be working with the community to determine what is and is not acceptable behavior for moderation and set clear open standards of decisions made.

Business Development
I am currently in the process of having Mintcoin trademarked under the Mintcoin Fund Organization. In addition I am seeking an escrow service to partner with for all of our future Fund raising efforts for the Mintcoin Fund.

Accounting System
As many of our communities are well aware I am a firm believer in an open book system. I believe this is especially pertinent when an organization is 100% community driven. This practice ensures investors and team members alike that their hard work and dedication is being used as intended.

Technical Development
As the pre-mine does not exist I will continue putting out bounties through donation collections and overseeing projects needed to assist Mintcoin’s growth and adaptation.

Developers Pool:
Over the last few month’s I have been coordinating with the community to recruit and grow our developer’s pool. We have some extremely talented individuals who have been donating there time to help Mintcoin grow in the past who will now be receiving bounties for their work as well as credit for their portfolio’s and unique donation addresses allowing the community to continue showing appreciation for their hard work. If you are interested in joining this pool please pm me with your expertise so I know when to call upon you for assistance.
