Hey There /r/mintcoin!

I sent out about 30k on 4chan's /b/ board one night last week for grins and a copy of Skullgirls, and ended up with the 2nd most popular thread on the board for several hours, attracting a lot of new miners and spreading as much information as I could.

I've been talking with the mods over the past few days about coordinating a huge giveaway on /b/. They've fronted 100k for it, and I'm very excited about getting the ball rolling.

My current plan is to launch the giveaway at 10pm CST this Saturday. With your help, we can potentially spread this coin to a huge number of users, which helps everyone involved in the whole endeavor. With my current donation, I can reach 200 users with 500 MINT apiece, but I'd like to do more, if possible.

That's where you come in.

Ideally, I'd like to have people send me the coins beforehand to prevent accidental double-donations in the thread, but I understand that that sounds really risky. I am currently holding a 1m stake in MINT, am a fairly well-established redditor, and am also a flaired historian at /r/askhistorians, so I'd like to think that people would trust me to send out huge sums of MINT without pulling a gox and dumping everything for a quick buck. That being said, the anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies precludes trust in a lot of cases.

My proposal is this-

1. Anyone who is comfortable sending me coins to distribute can feel free to send them to me at

2. Anyone who is interested in participating but not willing to front coins to me for immediate distribution, please post the number of 500-coin donations you are willing to make in this thread. I will keep a text file of addresses posted in the thread after my donation stake has run dry. Within 24-48 hours of the thread closing, I will distribute these addresses to the people who want to send out donations via PM.

If you have any infographics/mining guides/articles you would like me to post in the thread, please post them below.

Some proof that I've done all the stuff that I claim to have done.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening, and can't wait to get started on the Grand Giveaway Gala!

Best,

List of people who want addresses to donate to privately:

EDIT 2: I may have to push the giveway to Sunday night, as there's a chance I'll have to go to a meeting tomorrow during the timeslot.

EDIT 3: Thread is live at http://boards.4chan.org/b/res/535327556

EDIT 4: Thread didn't catch on, probably because of the fall in price. I'll try again later in the week at a peak time. Failing that, I'll distribute the coin via the tipbot.

EDIT 5: Thread caught on. I'll post a ledger pic later on in the week. Given out about 52500 so far!

EDIT 6: Bogged down with schoolwork at the moment. Will post a more descriptive update soon.
