THIS is a REBRAND. Previously known as MAZE -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4719233.0

CryptoNote
sorry...

reserve

Thanks for considering us.

Reserved

that means this project will be central with all the limitations that exist, and may require KYC for all existing transactions, this will probably be safe and unclear, but quite difficult for novice users

Seems like a good idea. I'll support. Keep progressing and keep us updated

One question
40% of mining rewards ....... are sent to developers ?

Thanks for the support. Glad to have you in the community : )

Hello everyone!

We have released our NEW Mask GUI Wallet !!
Visit the Github link below for the releases including:
* Windows
* MacOS
* Linux

Please give us your feedback and let us know if you enjoy using it.

https://github.com/mask-project/mask-wallet/releases

hi, my mask looks good, are you trying to stay anonymous? where can I see the team if I missed something, thanks

Hey konstant! Welcome to Mask. For now the whole team is anonymous. Perhaps in the future this will change ;)

Come join our chat !
t.me/maskcurrency

Thanks. Will check it out!

DO NOT visit that ANN page. They have made a new Github and added some nasty stuff to the wallet and are now sharing it with users. Please stay away from that page/

Our official Github is :  https://github.com/mask-project/

And thanks yes any GUI wallet from the official page is fine.

Which exchange is this coin listed?
I don't see it listed on coinmarketcap too. It'd be good to see some bounty program for this project. I don't see that  https://altmarkets.cc to be a good exchange but it will do so users can buy some. I wonder how much the price will be. Does anyone think this will compete cloak?

Hello ! Welcome to MASK.

We are slowly growing the project and will soon plan to be listed on an exchange. We are currently the most private cryptocurrency with the current setup. Come join our chat rooms to discuss ! : D

Hello altmega !

Ok so you can mine using GPU and CPU. Here are the following mining pools we recommend :

OptimusBlue also have their own miner software that easily integrates MASK. Check them out!

If you want to try also use:

Thank you

You are welcome.

Cпacибo зa видeo!!

Even zcach devs are not so impudent to charge 40% of total. Дa Bы axyэнтo.  ;D

I read them in the discord, from 40% will be paid for the listings and bounty

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the link to the video. Great content!

Hello! Welcome to MASK. Do not worry. We will be releasing a document explaining what the usecase is and how it plays an important role in the ecosystem. Glad to have you with us! Come join our chat : D

Much more info will be released about this 👍

I want to know what the difference is between MASK and other Cryptonight coins.

Seems just a same CN coin with same features.

i think so

Hello, thanks for joining Mask!

Mask is currently the most private cryptocurrency with a default 60 MIXIN, making all transactions highly private.
The chain has started with this feature and will continue to support this level of privacy long term. We will also be running incentive projects for Mask and creative users. Many more information will be released on this soon! Come join our chat : )

Just to inform everyone, our block explorer is active. We will be moving it to a domain soon!

I don't know but my impression with this kind of project is that it will not gonna survive here. How can you assure the longevity of this mask coin will be sustained?

Hello 24kt!

With any project, your impression will come from the community. The steady growth and user interests are very important metrics. We are slowly growing our users and our infrastructure is also slowing becoming more accessible after releasing bits by bits. Come join us on Discord and/or Telegram and have a chat! We are all here in for the long haul : )

Great project going here. Just played with the wallet. love it! great job

Hello sentopack!

Welcome to Mask! Glad you are enjoying the wallet experience.

Thanks I really am. Really think this is a unique project. I am surprised nobody here sparked a conversation about the initial choice of using 60 Mixins.

I also think that the coin has a future, and now can mine well 8)

Very great prospects. Good time to mine  8)

Glad you picked up on that. Yes Mask has a default Mixin of 60 for our most privacy needing users.
This will also by default keep any user very private so Mask is really reaching for this user base.

Hi! What means "using 60 Mixins"?

Glad your onboard folks!

Mixin is the number of signatures used in your transaction. The higher the number the more privacy compared to lower mixins. The higher the mixin the greater the amount of plausible deniability. Rest assured that your transactions with Mask are always VERY private : )

Correct. This is why I will be keeping an eye on this project. I think you are the first project with such a proposal.

From what we can tell yes we are probably the first to be using such a setting for a chain.  ;D

I will join your social channels

Welcome : )

Dedicated miner right here /\

I really like the website. Well done to the team.

I just checked out the pool. This has big hashh! We grow fast now

I grabbed a big bunch of coins in First Crypto Bank. I really like this kind of new born babies which are not in the radar, because it is the easiest way to get good profits (as long as the project is good and active, as in this case).

Welcome to Mask esvictorgc !!

Glad you joined ! We are growing at a healthy rate and there is more to come : )

Happy Monday everyone !

6 days left for the next "Mask monday" ;) ;D

Thanks for having us !

Mask Mondays is catching on !  ;D :D

We now have a new Mask Block explorer available !

ThePirateMine Explorer (https://mask-block-explorer.thepiratemine.nl)

The hash increasing everyday and hpefully some new exchanges shortly... if only Mask got listed in bisq or tradeogre...

This mask Monday more news to come, let's see if is something related with exchanges, devepment or marketing. Definetly november and december look great for mask

Hopefully with the new release of BISQ Mask will be included. Let’s wait for the full release to confirm : )

:D :D :D :D :D MOON SOON!!!!

Yes I can feel the smell of the lunar surface from Burundi...

One day left for the next MaskMonday... According to the team, it will come along with some good news!

Great project. Hope for your successful.  :). Which exchanges will you be listed on?

See you there ha

There is definitely some great news coming today !!

We are currently looking to be listed on Bisq. Everything is approved, gotta wait for their new release to verify actual listing : ).

We are also currently listed on exfcb.com exchange

We have 5 announcements to make today! All will be related to our new Bounty program that is open to everyone (devs too) !

Bounty #1:

1200 MASK per month for helping the Mask twitter account achieve relevant daily activity!


Bounty #2 - DEV:

10,000 MASK to assist with Bulletproof implementation!

This is a big bounty and anyone is welcome to claim it!

Bonus reward for concise work and documentation!

Here are our final 2 bounties !

Bounty #4 - YouTube:
1000 Mask per video (English only) that assists users with wallet / mining / general usage

Bounty #5 - New Mask GUI WINDOWS
10,000 MASK for providing a step-by-step guide on securely building the Wallet on a windows machine!.

https://github.com/mask-project/mask-gui-wallet

Bonus reward to all DEV bounties for clean and concise work!!

a lot of work done  :o

Hopefully Crex24 soon, then others

Will try out this pool in a bit, sounds good

Really? I know that Mask is confirmed in BISQ and dealing with tradeogre, but it´s the first time I hear about Crex24. I would be just amazing!

Indeed, can't believe I forgot about tradeogre though, its not bad actually. BISQ is a truly decentralised exchange, mask would perfectly fit there

Hello everyone. I want to welcome speedster.one to our team ! Speedster will be helping out with communications so feel free to get in touch with speedster about Mask.

Absolutely !! : D

Yes, both of them are a good choice for Mask. The more volume we reach, the higher value the coin will have and therefore, the value of the development funds will be higher as well.

Happy to be part of the project :)

2 days left for the next Mask Monday...

 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Claptonemascarade.jpg/800px-Claptonemascarade.jpg

Sounds like a tantalising experience ;) hehe

Mask monday!! very excited, I believe that there will be some important updates today. Hopefully, new features of privacy added to the coin in the next upload, more wallets or maybe new listings (tradeogre, tradesatoshi..?)

Totally right, the max supply right now is barely 3m and the circulating supply is like 1.8m. 1$ per coin is achievable under normal market conditions.

We have released our new Mask Core & Wallet binaries!

Mask Core:
https://github.com/mask-project/mask

Mask Wallet:
https://github.com/mask-project/mask-wallet

We now have TWO public Nodes running for remote sync!

45.32.201.114
208.97.141.93

We have our FIRST TOR based mining pool!
http://3pxvbg3rwpfd3sta.onion/

We have just released new updates : D !

So our social channels for more information. Also look on this thread for the most recent update !

I have been very lucky of finding out about this project so early. It´s quite admirable having this weekly progress and this activity, even when the volume of the coin is still so low. As soon as we get listed in a couple of well-known exchanges, we will get volume to set the price comfortably at 2000 sat zone, giving a good value to the bounties, which will catch up the attention of more volunteers or contributors to the project, feedingback the development of the coin.

Perfectly said. Soon the market for Mask will grow and the bounties will get good attention. This I am excited for.

trust me, in the near future we will all be glad we found this :D, especially me, im going to start using mask for moving funds privately, 

After a nice Maskmonday, it comes a glorious Mask tuesday.

Nice article which explain why Mask is a gem:

https://coinchimps.com/why-mask-is-the-next-big-thing/

thanks!!!, it was very interesting to read!!!!

Amazing article!

We now have the QT GUI Wallet available for Mask !

Please visit https://github.com/mask-project/mask-gui

What is QT GUI Wallet?

It definitely was! Posted it on twitter too!

It is our new wallet for Mask. You can download it here: https://github.com/mask-project/mask-gui

Try it out and let us know what you think.

thanks, I'll try now

Great. Also, we now have remote nodes which you can access if you wish. Remote syncing is faster and use it if your system is limited and/or you want to check your balances quick.

It is always recommended to sync a local blockchain for optimal security : )

Liquidity increasing in FCB, as well as the Hashpower.
Mask has approached tradesatoshi, graviex and tradeogre to be listed. It's likely that we will get new exchanges very soon.

Congratulations 1.6 m/hash :D :D :D

price 400 satosh is also a good result

when is listing on BTCbisq.network/BTC?

Network: 2.16 MH/sec new record!!!

Mask Monday tomorrow again!!! The team is working very hard to get listed in another exchange. At any time we will receive some positive news from Diabolico!

Amazing result !

This is such a massive growth ! : D

Every MaskMonday is a good monday ;)

Mask is growing, so much more to come!

Pretty fantastic. up from 200 and growing up and up. December is looking bright. It is holding a good stable price at the moment.

;) Mask hard at work.

Hashpower fluctuating between 1mhs and 2mhs, give or take 200khs per boundary. Very healthy hash.

BISQ will be releasing their new candidate soon. Commits are still being pushed on a daily basis so lets see when they finally do release 0.9.0 :D I will keep everyone posted here.

We just released an article about Mask and its governance model:

https://telegra.ph/Governance-the-spell-of-growth-12-03-3

Hope you enjoy the read.

Great article, which explains clearly the philoshophy of the governance funding. Many people turn down this kind of approaches, but for me it´s clearly an advantage. It´s the only way to get financial power to carry out ambitious projects. Besides, it´s better than the premine, as you have a cash in which is gradually decreasing as the reward goes down.

My question is the following regarding this sentence of the article:

"The governance wallet is the main wallet that is funded by the block rewards. The governance wallet funds itself can be categorized in a way to show the spending output and how it will be used to support the Mask project"

Do you intend to build a wallet with special features, or better said, to modify the governance funds wallet in such a way that the outflows are properly declared, and its accesible to be checked by anyone?

ANNOUNCEMENT: Bisq 0.9.0 has been released! You can download Bisq at https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases. This release came with a full redesign of their look and feel and the App looks great. We need offers for someone buying and selling MASK on there, so lets bring Bisq some volume and liquidity :smiley: Remember that this is not a website-based exhcange, but a piece of software that you download and it runs on Tor as a decentralized exchange. Bisq takes a little bit of getting used to, in terms of how the client operates... So BE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Happy trading, Masketeers!

This project is moving fast. Besides Bisq, a third exchange will be announced soon. On Friday, there will be a giveaway and more news, so hopefully this weekend will break the 200 members barrier in TG and maybe the 1000 sat barrier as well.

We are still going!

40% of mining reward going to the team? Seems fair. But why not 100%?
Otherwise I'd say it would have appeared as a quite promining coin.

if financing goes to the development of a coin, then why not?

new exchanges are planned soon...

Have a look to this https://telegra.ph/Governance-the-spell-of-growth-12-03-3

You can agree or not, but the aim of this fund is legit and will help the growth of the project.

Lots of great news the past week and more to come! We have just reached 200 members on TG so spot on to that prediction ; )

Indeed !

Absolutely, we are in discussion now with which ones to pick and work towards  8)

Thanks for the link to the article. Hopefully more users will read up on this and get the idea of what Mask wants to achieve.

Our first Blog is now available on our official website !

Make sure to check out our first article !

Mask Governance Article (https://blog.mask.team/2018/12/03/hello-world/)

Hi Dev, regarding this article: I have this question:

"The governance wallet is the main wallet that is funded by the block rewards. The governance wallet funds itself can be categorized in a way to show the spending output and how it will be used to support the Mask project"

Do you intend to build a wallet with special features, or better said, to modify the governance funds wallet in such a way that the outflows are properly declared, and its accesible to be checked by anyone?

Great question. Yes absolutely we are planning to build a table that will show the uses and spending from the Governance fund so everyone can check and see. We will also add voting in the future for certain spending options so everyone will have a say. Good things to come ! : D

Massive growth of the telegram community this week: 600 members and rising. Happy Mask Monday all, eager to see some fresh news.

Absolutely ! It was such a success !

Let's show some support to one of our amazing pools from ThePirateMine.nl ! Spread the Word & Hash !

You are in for a good wave of announcements !

Announcement #1

We have decided that Graviex Exchange is the best platform for Mask, after MUCH discussion and research.

We will be opening a donation pot to help us list on Graviex Exchange. This exchange currently has a listing fee of 0.3 BTC. To cover this, Mask will create a BTC donation address so anyone whom wishes to help out can do so.

Further more,

Mask will also create a sell order on BISQ of 10,000 Mask for 1000 sats each to help with the donations. It is fixed at this price and for those who want to donate and want to receive Mask for it are more than welcome to use the BISQ sell order. This action will be taken in the next 1/2 days, an announcement will follow. We want to monitor and see how things go for the first few hours.

TARGET = 0.3 BTC to list on GRAVIEX
The BTC donation address is:

1MRPjo2nuZ88yiR2yCbpJcswSjttex9Q4R

HAPPY MASK SUNDAY!

Hope you all have had a great weekend, we have a progress update for everyone!

We now have a new repo out which can be found here -> https://github.com/mask-project/mask-core

This repo has Bullet-proof implementation and many new features which will be a big step up for MASK.

Now here comes the more exciting part............MASK is opening a generous BOUNTY for this upgrade!

The Bounty is open for any participant, and the main objective is to finish to code to get it running. It is 95% done, any dev just needs to do final bug fixes and testing.

The reward = 0.1 BTC

Yes, thats generous and we believe you deserve this. Any one that is interested do get in touch!

This bounty is open until it is claimed! So someone WILL get the 0.1 BTC !

Hope everyone has a lovely week! For further questions feel free to ask in our Discord or Telegram rooms.

HAPPY MASK THURSDAY

ANNOUNCEMENT:

MASK will be upgrading to V0.3.0.0 "Vide Eum" !

After much thought and testing MASK is proud to offer the following features:
    * Multi output Bulletproofs
    * POW change to CNFastv2
    * Masari's SECOR Uncle Mining

Mask will HARDFORK at block 180,000 so please make sure you have updated your node software prior.

RECOMMENDED: Download the newest upgrade now to test prior the hardfork incase you incur any issues/bugs.

Currently a very good implementation of anti-asic is the CNFastv2 POW algo used by Masari themselves. HOWEVER, it has come to my attention that many of you are asking for the POW to remain as it is. Please feel free to discuss this prior to the hardfork for a FINAL decision

Mask will now also include uncle mining in the protocol, which will allow miners to get reward for blocks that might have been mined at nearly the same time. Uncle mining is currently used by other protocol aside from Mask, Masari and Ethereum. Feel free to research more about the subject for a more indepth understanding. Uncle mining provides for a more secure chain.

Thank you all for being part of MASK and supporting the chain in anyway you can.

Please find the link below for the V.0.3.0.0 Binaries:
