Minter Network is getting bigger. Validators are responsible for the health of the network. Four slots for new validators open each month, but it can be difficult for beginners to figure out how to set up a masternode.

We believe that this kind of information should be publicly available. So we wrote a manual on how to run and set up your masternode from scratch. The manual is available on Github under MIT license.

https://github.com/minterscan/minter_validator_manual

Thanks to Anatoly Ustinov from U-node and Daniil Lashin from the Minter Team for their help in compiling the manual.

We invite all competent experts to discuss and supplement this manual. This is Open Source, we'll be glad to pull requests.

A Book

I decided to write a visionary book called The Future of Money, in which I will provide my forecast of what money landscape shifts we can expect in the next 10–30 years.

It is more about challenging myself. First, I will need to seriously weigh everything and put a multi-dimensional future in an understandable format. Second, I will have to write in English. And last but not least, the book must be interesting for readers.

Why money? The answer lies in the fact that money is perhaps the most confusing tool of everyday use. No one ever thinks about how it works, but everyone needs it.

In all my endeavors, it is often vital for me to lay out the direction of work through a noscript from which I can develop a story. A story to be told to the community of people with whom I work on a product as well. I have already set the direction: the book will cover the future of money. But if I was going for a concise noscript, I would consider Money 2.0—an implication that all the previous monies were only the first version.

And if you think that I want to simply pick up a pen and start writing, you totally miss the point. I will try to make this book using GitHub, with pull requests so widely seen within this specific environment, so that anyone can add their knowledge and correct my mistakes. All the fact-checking and proofreading will be paid with a project coin, thereby proving in practice that private money is already working today.

I am going to donate all proceeds from the book to the Minter Development Foundation, for the benefit of the development of the Internet of Money.

It’s super-easy to beat scams. There are only two things you need to do:
– Never transfer money to unknown addresses
– Never buy coins issued by unknown projects

There is no one who could force you to do otherwise. It is your signature that sends your funds to an address or a coin.

If everyone practices such hygiene, scammers will simply have no one to scam. That’s it.
MORG and GROM coins serve a technical purpose and are intended for authorization on minter.org and grom.org, respectively.
“Low” Coins

So-called “low” coins—the ones that have a CRR lower than 50%—should not be automatically labeled as dangerous. For instance, with TIME (33%), one can observe that provided a certain saturation threshold has been reached, and creators have chosen an appropriate course to follow, the price increases and decreases become moderate. The example of KARMA (10%) perfectly illustrates that if a coin is necessary, it will not fluctuate that much. In the case of KARMA also, we can see that almost no one tries to purchase it with speculative intentions, fearing the rate will drop as many own it. The development is matched by practical necessity.

As the network grows more popular, the focus will shift to low coins that yield good returns for creators in terms of mining and price growth. We expect that it is 20–40-percent coins that will become a real hit with the industry, provided they have millions of BIPs in initial reserve. It is hard to scam people on those, and participants eyeing long-term commitment will not be taken aback by fluctuations in the first couple of months.

The main drawback of low coins lies in the fact that validators’ slashes have a significant impact—e.g., with 10-percent-CRR coins, one loses approximately 5% of reserve on a missed block and 22% on double-signing.

Low coins are the ones to enjoy mass adoption by end consumers, in games and services where users will not even be aware of mining and other tech features underpinning the Minter blockchain.

Stock up on reserves and create low-CRR, short-ticker coins: that is a precursor to success. From there, the harder you work, the more users will believe in you.

And always model using Calculator: https://calculator.minter.network/
Do the rewards fall? Yes.

Take a look at a spectacular graph of this whale who is re-delegating with Monster Node: https://explorer.minter.network/address/Mxadf825cb1d2eb71fa7982d2857ca31b889a4843f?active_tab=reward

Formally speaking, going down from 140,000 BIP to 120,000 BIP per day in four months is a fall, but I think you will agree that it is not as drastic as it might seem.

A 15-percent decline over four months is a healthy indicator.
The Official Price

To design the Internet of Money, we need to automate exchange operations with other blockchains. For that, we will implement atomic swaps for external networks to be able to put up their native coins for sale at the official price. A particular group of Minter users will have the opportunity to agree with the terms, press the “Convert” button, and not worry about anything else.

Let us break it down once again:
– A sidechain is integrated for atomic swaps,
– accepts the official price,
– and puts up the volume for exchange;
– A user of Minter buys it with BIP.

To determine the official price, stakers will be voting via the coin under the same ticker symbol [COIN]. Hence, all data will be recorded on the blockchain so that anyone could verify anything if needed. In fact, it will be even more useful for services undergoing integration as they will be able to discover the price easily and avoid any misleading, offering their tokens to the users of Minter.

What could be more efficient and straightforward? We vote for the price, someone offers us to buy something at that price, and we get to make a decision. That’s it.

Now, let us talk about the figure itself. As you all know, it was Early Access Campaign participants who voted for it to be fixed at USD 0.32 at the start. Meaning it was not materialized out of thin air, set by top management, or influenced by manipulators. It is a real price that has been voted for by “the people of Minter.” Democracy at its best, including the transparency aspect: anyone can verify who voted for what price and ask why if they know the owner of the address.

Once MBank launches atomic swaps, voting for the official price will resume, and every one of us will be able to make an impact based on the size of the stake. That is what is called autonomy, something we all aim to achieve: the price is determined only by those who stake and therefore contribute to the network development. If you are confused by a large difference between the official and market prices, don’t be as what you observe is a short-term calibration of the system. As our network grows more popular and integrates with tens of other blockchains, we will have an inflow of tokens for sale, ready to be exchanged for BIP at the consent of Minter users. Remember: each sale always matches a purchase. There will always be demand for BIP; the question is, what will the price and available conversion options be?

All of it is just a tiny part of a bigger plan for a user-friendly product when there is no depositing or withdrawing the funds, as they call it. What there is, though, are universal conversions—from BIP to BTC or USDT or cash at an ATM via Rapyd. The operations, however, must be instant and irreversible; otherwise, we will be pushed back into the world of intermediaries, commission fees, and please-contact-your-banks.
By the way, MBank itself will be launched on the Telegram Open Network, meaning that the order book and buyer & seller matching will be put on the new decentralized Internet that every device on the planet will have access to. Robots, which will eventually become the primary user of the Internet of Money, will not be able to understand what the phrase “This website is currently down for maintenance” means.

Per-minute content payment.

Let's continue our discussion of new economic models we can build on Minter. This one's mostly fit for movies, but can also be used for games and whatever else you may think of. It's simple - you have a coin for an online/offline movie theater, and with said coin you can pay for a minute of viewtime. You can imagine (or maybe you've been) in a situation where you realize half an hour into the movie that the movie's shit. Per-minute payments for the rescue, you just quit the theatre and get a refund for the remainder of the movie. And with this approach content creators will have to be more responsible with their work, they'll have to not only lure you to see the movie, they'll also have to keep your interest til the credits roll.

Also per-minute payments are also a quality stamp of sorts, because if let's say a lecturer uses this system, they're confident people will listen until the very end.

The first major upgrade of the Minter network

Just five months after having successfully launched the network, Mr. Lashin and the team prepared a major upgrade. Here is a summary of the upcoming changes: https://medium.com/@MinterTeam/minter-v1-1-0-d73281a95809

We will release detailed documentation along with code.

What’s new? First of all, speed and reliability will increase significantly. Remember that we work with money here and thus need to be extremely careful and constantly optimize all processes.

Second, one will be able to create coins with limited supply. BIP is limited to 10 billion units, and with a new upgrade, one will be able to set maximum supply for their own custom coin. This might come handy if you do something that requires supervision—for example, sell concert tickets or accrue loyalty points.

Third, we will introduce multisig addresses that can be managed by multiple participants (up to 20) simultaneously—this will provide for the highest security standards and also become our base for integration with IOM, TON, and Cosmos HUB. Consider this: your custom coin is locked on Minter multisig, and the same amount is issued on TON inside our smart contract under a ticker tNAME to be further used for various in-app activities. Take, for example, a game where the winner gets it all, clicks “Withdraw to Minter,” and collects the coins from a multi-signature address on Minter at the same time burning them on TON.

Thanks to multisig, we will launch the IOM sidechain, which will enable atomic swaps of BIP for Bitcoin, Ether, and other integrated cryptocurrencies.

Also, multisig will allow for accepting fiat payments from bank cards much faster. The testing process is currently under way, and transactions take up to one hour. With multi-signature addresses, the time will reduce to less than a minute.

Version 1.1.0 code will be proposed for testing and implemented once 2/3 of the validators have voted in favor of proceeding with the upgrade. No additional action from users will be required.

#V110
The launch of multisig addresses will give the green light to the atomic swap system and sale of BIP at the official price. This means that other blockchains will be able to sell their native coins for BIP using the price determined by the delegators as a benchmark.
1 BTC can buy you now up to 342 737 BIP, that's a +27% bonus to current price.

Apply to Participate in Minter Demo Day

Everyone willing to attend Minter Demo Day should fill out the form below until November 4:

We will select the top 50 teams, e.g., games, services, websites, and channels—namely, those who are engaged in any activity that benefits the network and its users.
Minter Coin Economics Article Contest

The cornerstone feature of our blockchain is empowering everyone to issue their own coin and integrate it into their project. The Console—where all coins are minted—is pretty easy to use, but one does also have to set proper CRR and initial reserve parameters so that the coin helps the firm generate profits, and not losses.

Let us educate the audience, especially the newcomers, on the economics behind the creation and circulation of coins on the Minter blockchain. And we strongly believe that no one could do that better than you, the real users.

That is why we are announcing the contest for the best definitive guide to the Minter coin economics. Three winners will be awarded 50,000, 30,000, and 20,000 BIP, respectively. We will also pick the best piece and post it on our official Medium account.

The submission deadline is Friday, November 1, 11:59 PM UTC. Good luck!

LP Wanted!

Liquidity Providers able to convert fiat (cards, e-money, cash, points) into BTC, ETH, and USDT/C (ERC-20) will become one of the bedrocks of the Internet of Money. On the team’s side, we are ready to allocate substantial grants to develop such modules, which, over time, will connect to atomic swaps on IOM after the launch of the association in Switzerland.

By the end of the year, we expect to support at least ten projects. Detailed conditions will follow in the coming days, so we suggest you start preparing the denoscription of your ideas.
Wivax.com is a SCAM. We investigated several reports, and it turned out that the website & companies are fake.
One can now buy BIP and other Minter-based coins with a bank card. Testing started at https://bip.dev/
