Bitcoin Forum

The day has finally arrived for the much-anticipated Bitcoin coin halving event. Now miners will get 6.25 bitcoin as a reward for mining every bitcoin block.
Initially, anyone with a computer could mine bitcoin, but it quickly turned into an arms race. Bitcoin mining now is only a concern for miners who can afford expensive mining hardware that eats too much electricity. There is no space in the bitcoin mining now for people who have an ordinary computing device.
If you are crypto mining enthusiastic and don't have expensive mining hardware don't worry there are cryptocurrencies that you can mine on your computer. One such crypto is MASS which we will discuss in the remaining part of this thread.  
MASS Blockchain Consensus Engine
MASS is developed with the aim to solve the mining problem that lies in early blockchains based on PoW.  It introduces a consensus engine whose purpose is to become the basic infrastructure to all blockchain consensus layers. MASS adopted the Proof-of-Capacity (PoC) consensus algorithm, this consensus algorithm help in creating a consensus layer that is permission less, fair, energy efficiency, secure, and universal while ensuring the fundamental security of the public chain.
What distinguishes MASS from other blockchain is that nodes participating in consensus process use their storage capacity to participate in the consensus process. This means that anyone who has a computer running with a storage device can participate in mining the MASS. There is no requirement for expensive hardware and paying heavy electricity bills.



Proof of Capacity Consensus Algorithm

This consensus algorithm is based on providing proof of storage space. Every node has to provide a valid proof of the capacity in order to submit a block to the network and claim reward. The algorithm makes it impossible for any node to generate capacity proof without having the corresponding storage size, and this proof can be verified by every node that participates in the consensus process. Block is accepted by the network only if both the block data and the proof of capacity are valid.

MASS Features

1. Permission less

Based on the Satoshi principle of decentralization, any node can join the MASS network without requiring any permission.

2. Fair

The consensus protocol makes sure that only a node having valid proof of effective capacity can generate a block. Also, the proof of effective capacity is storage medium independent, this makes all nodes of the network at the same marginal costs.

3. Energy Efficient.

Compared to PoW, MASS PoC has extremely low computing and energy consumption. There is no continuous requirement of power and storage capacity when not participating in the MASS network can be reformatted and used for other purposes.

4. Universal

Nodes in MASS network can support multiple blockchain instances in parallel as same storage space can provide valid proof of capacity to different blockchain consensus instances.

5. Secure.

All these features don't come at the cost of compromise on security. In terms of security, the MASS and PoW consensus protocols are very similar. Using the theory of Time-memory trade-off, the PoC protocol ensures the unforgeability of proofs, and together with the use of a verifiable random function ensures that the MASS system has 51% Byzantine Fault Tolerance.

Incentive

MASS has controlled inflation, as there will be 206,438,400 MASS tokens that will be ever generated in 15 different periods. Reward will be halved while moving from one period to another. The first halving will take place at a block height of
13440 and total of 1024 block rewards will be issued with each MASS block before the first halving. The miner who creates the new block through PoC mining is awarded 192 MASS as a base reward.
You can find complete detail about mass here https://docs.massnet.org/en/

That's a good read but what's the worth of this coin and has this coin listed somewhere? These benefits are worthy only if this coin has some value otherwise there are many coins that offer many attractive offers but have zero value.

It is very interesting brother. It is true, that all related to production costs in mining especially now that half of the coins are reduced, miners only get 6.25 bitcoins as a reward for mining each block of bitcoin.

Equipment and resources are mandatory menus as our combat tools before the war. One thing I can say is that in the future, more and more must be followed because technology cannot be stopped like using an old cell phone with a new cell phone with high speed features.

Easily mineable coin are surely a great way to start your journey into crypto currency. Not only they will make you understand how real mining works, they could even increase in price over the time and yield you some good rewards. I've been lucky for biblepay getting 10s of block solo mining on my PC which went pretty high after some times.
Bitcoin mining is a totally different league. It would need dedicated hardware and planning. And you can with those miner mine only the SHA256 coins.

There have been a lot of PoW or PoC and even PoS recently launched but I see no successful projects, because they have no community. Most recently the only success was BTCV, they had a strong community and were followed by whales that pushed the price of coins higher every day. Therefore, in order for MASS to truly have a future and bring confidence to investors, the team needs to have a large community.

There are many coins with POC Algorithm already but the fact is they aren't popular, who use HDD to mine coins? Can't really be compared to POW or POS algorithms, anyways team has to work on the community supports, that's one thing that many new project teams failed to do.

You are right. No coin can be successful without the presence of a strong community. BTC success lies in huge community that is backing it up. In current saturated crypto market members only join a project that is profitable. With MASS registered on exchange (https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#MASS_USDT), it's expected that its community will also increase.

Bitcoin not only requires dedicated hardware but also high technical skills to mine it. Those who joined bitcoin mining sector in early days got huge profits. Joining Bitcoin mining now is not very much profitable.
MASS based on PoC (Proof of capacity) is great way to start mining. You not only learn how mining works but also earn profit. See the price chart of MASS token https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#MASS_USDT

I joined this forum to hunt coins that I can mine and earn some reward. I am in mining sector for last 5 years and I love to find and explore new coins.
This is a great coin. Its on exchange and open for everyone to mine. May be we need another consensus algorithm in future as BTC is PoW is not doing good in terms of power consumption, reward etc. PoC defiantly has a great future.

This is what makes MASS more desirable I guess, mining btc is not easy and requires much more sophisticated hardware and power which not very many people can afford, this will definitely attract miners to take a look at this hassle less project,  and the good news is, the price is relatively fair.

I think part of the problems is not creating sustainable & easy-to-use systems that can easily attracts lots of people, things like a thriving ecosystem, easy to use applications, network participation, to help solve most of the needs of members

You are a very senior member. So your words mean a lot. Thank you for guiding people like me. I am setting up my mining MASS. There is cool guide available on there site for this https://docs.massnet.org/en/getting-started/how-to-run-a-mainnet-wallet-node/

Whats the purpose of this GPU plotter?

plasterer is a fast GPU plotter for MASS. plasterer provides a way to plot spaces that are compatible with massminerd. plasterer-help cooperates with plasterer, it automatically generates config files for plasterer and initializes massminerd.

The first time I've seen it was when they launched a promotion I don't know if they are still running one I seen have the bounty of that MASS promotion but it never take off in the signature campaign because they are paying a hero rank with $3 worth of Mass in one week posting, it still has to prove it's worth in usage and in the market.

If you are interested in this coin you can buy it on two different exchanges and also mine it using storage capacity.
https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#MASS_USDT
https://www.hotbit.io/exchange?symbol=MASS_BTC

you created this thread to promote this altcoin and you are using bitcoin weaknesses to convince people that this altcoin is better than bitcoin. It may be a good advertising strategy, but that will not be enough to make this altcoin in high demand. I think the best thing that the creators of this project should do Is convince people in their own thread:

 [MASS] Decentralized HARD DRIVE mining cryptocurrency | PoC | Low Energy cost (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230593.0)

No sir, I never say this is better then bitcoin. Let's be realistic, btc is pioneer cryptocurrency that is leading the market in term of capital and community. We dont know whether any altcoin will even come close to BTC in future or not.
MASS is new altcoin where people who dont afford expensive miners can mine MASS using there storage capacity. The coin is already on 2x big exchanges and price floating around 0.5$.

Proof of capacity or PoC consensus algorithm is used in MASS blockchain. Is there any real-world use case of this blockchain apart from mining? 

A bunch of those coins came out in 3-4 years ago and they weren't doing too good in the bear market.

Take a look at storj https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/storj
It went from €2.1 to €0.1. That's a devastating drop if you compare to Bitcoin that lost 85% and recovered back to 50% of ATH. Storj lost 98%! Are you saying that those coins are what we should be putting our money into instead of PoW or PoS coins? :D

Its advisable not to put all your eggs in one bucket. Bitcoin is first choice for most of crypto investors but when it comes to altcoins there is huge list. I have just given few key points of why to invest in this PoC based MASS token. Already this token has gone up to 0.7$ within week of its enlisting on exchange.   

Mnah, who would use your blockchain? You still do not understand why BTC is valuable - due to its usecase, many users, safety, decentralized. But you don´t offer anytihing new.

And this is a mistake many crypto investors do.

You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket is a quote used to describe types of investments. You shouldn't have all your money tied in real estate because a crash on that market will make you lose it all, so put some into stocks and commodities as well and hold some cash at hand.

Bitcoin and altcoins are still the same basket!

Nobody is doubting the value and importance of Bitcoin. The new thing introduced in this mining token is the way you can mine. You don't need traditional expensive mining devices along with huge power. MASS can be mined on computing devices using their storage space, though complexity is increasing day by day.

Ever since its launch, the price is stable b/w 0.5$ to 0.7$. Which means so far the coin is doing good on exchange. I think its now better to buy this from exchange rather than mine it.

Wow this is really cool. Can you write on which exchanges I can find this coin? It's on the dip and its best to buy coins on the dip. I like this strategy.

You can find MASS on the following exchanges.
https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#MASS_USDT
https://www.hotbit.io/exchange?symbol=MASS_BTC

Price of MASS is going down and that's a good opportunity to buy this coin at this dip. Initially it was at 0.5$ then went up to 0.7$ and now coming down again. Take it as an opportunity to buy.

I think party time for MASS is now over as it has gone down to 0.28$ and those who sold it at 0.7$ must be partying now. MASS is great example of doing analysis and investing in new coins. Not every new coin is scam.

What you're describing above as a response to @Pecunia  is that to start with the mining is relatively inexpensive because most of it it will be done on computing devices' storage but isn't this just the early stages of MASS?
If you really see potential in this new coin then you'll come to realize just like in the history of BTC mining that this computing power will get more and more demanding with time. SO based on what you're saying this possible issue isn't even on the table...by that logic the conclusion is that there's no need for MASS when it essential doesn't do anything else better than the already existing blockchain

That is right what you said people focus only on the coin if it is profitable or not, even though it can be mined on a computer or not as you said. But more than that mining is not easy as expected, for doing that you need to have good equipment, the best system and also electricity, l don't think that everybody can do it. It will take a time and mostly money can not motivate you for working hard. Mining is not a person, it is for a huge company.

MASS is profitable for those mined it before its listed on the exchange. I still feel that current price of MASS is ideal for investment. Its a nice project and will explode someday for sure.

The good thing about this project is documentation. You can find each and every info in document section like from setting up miner to how to do the mining itself. Just browse the document section of this project and you will love it.

You need be up to date and carefully analyzing all projects in order to not miss any opportunity. Those who analyzed MASS in its early days and mined it were the true winners. I dont think anybody can now be equivalent to those early birds.

Price of MASS is gaining momentum and hopes are that in days to come its price will go up.
There are not much options available for new miners, MASS is a good opportunity for those who looking to mine something on there computers.

We were expecting bitcoin price to rising when the halving occur but the bitcoin price keep staying at the current price even the halving has ended long ago. Now im no longer mining bitcoin because the mining expense cost more than the mining profit when the reward halved.
About MASS coin, is this coin already listed on the exchange ?

Yes its already on two exchnages MXC and Hotbit

https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#MASS_USDT
https://www.hotbit.io/exchange?symbol=MASS_USDT

Its on two more exchnages Hoo and BKEX. Its journey on exchnages is good so far, reaching ATH of 0.7$ after its launch. Right it a bit down, which is good buying opportunity for those who believe in it.

Mining is no more decentralized, its very much centralized. And this is very much against the principles of Satoshi. MASS is a good option, if you are looking to mine something on your traditional device.

crypto is here to stay and it will keep on growing with new projects like MASS. its listed on exchanges in April and those who mined it before listing on exchanges have earned a lot. I still feel that this project has too much potential to go up and price is still in range.

The point is we dont pay much attention to coin when its in its early stage and available for almost free. We only ran after it when party is almost over. Same happen with this coin, it was easy to mine before its listing on exchange but not many payed attention to it. Now it has very good price on exchanges.

MASS is considered a new generation of POC capacity algorithm, which is very different from Bitcoin mining, GPU mining, and even Filecoin. It not only make mining decentralized but also makes blockchain more effective then its previous versions.

If you read subject of this post it clearly says that Bitcoin is no more a popular choice for mining since its taken over by whales who can afford expensive machines and pay electricity bills. We defiantly have to look for alternative and if you see the price of btc on exchanges then surly its a good choice.

Its price is stable and if remain stable for next 6 months it will defiantly attract more investors to come and join this coin. Hopes are that its price will remain stable and may go up because of its PoC base consensus engine.

The energy efficient PoC consensus algorithm is one the main reason why MASS is adopted by so many people. Its very clear from it price that it has a long way to go up.

Always choose your coin wisely. I remember people saying strange thing about MASS before its enlistment on exchanges but once  on exchnage people opinion about it was completely changed. But the time to invest was lost by then. You need to be quick in your decision making else its too late.

PoC consensus algorithm is there for many years but the way MASS has implemented that in his blockchain is amazing. MASS is there to stay and has filled many shortcomings of traditional blockchain.

There are many things we learn from BTC halving and one is that BTC  mining is not for everyone these days. We have to look around and see what will be next BTC after 10 years and I think MASS has a fair chance to become a new gold in coming years. DYOR.

MASS is something we regret not mining in early days of its launch. Now we cant mine it because its complexity has gone way up and has gained a lot of popularity. I think its best to buy MASS on exchange now.

So much newbie shilling in this thread :o


In other words if you put 1000 dollars in MASS in May you''re down 650 USD and if you did it in June you're only down 400. Such a stable investment ;)

With this logic BTC is such a useless investment, its up on one day and down on other day. Name any single crypto that is stable throughout in its history. Crypto is all about wild fire. If you need stability, invest in banks.

If you see price of MASS, its clearly evident that its way more then price of many other altcoins. This price is very high keeping in view the time MASS has taken. Its slowly but surly going to moon.

There is no such thing like stability in crypto, its all about volatiliy. But price of MASS is stable in a sense that its revolving around 0.3 - 0.5 $. It has'nt collapsed so far, this is clear indication that its a strong coin.

I wish I was well aware of BTC mining 10 years back but was not. BTC mining is only in the range of people who can afford expensive machines and pay bills. MASS so far has done good on exchnage by gaining price of 0.3$. You can still mine this on your laptop as u only need to provide proof of capacity.

Thats not a god advice. BTC price is stable for so many months. You have to do research and find coins that have stable price. There are many such coins who price are stable. Bank investment is crap as it is directly proportional to inflation.

PoC consensus algorithm backed coins like MASS are good addition to crypto world as they allow everyone to mine the coins on there local computers and this was something not possible previously.

BTC price and its hash rate is touching skies and people like me who are just entering crypto domain cant mine or buy BTC right now. Coins like MASS are good alternative for people like me.

MASS is a good addition in list of coins that are minable on ordinary devices. But you need massive amount of storage in order to get some good reward. If you are new to mining then MASS is best option to start with. They have great documentation that can help you in getting started with mining. 

BTC party is over forever and we need some other party to join. MASS may be a good option since we can mine it using only our storage space. Those who have mined MASS may share there story here for perusal of others.

Looks like the entire MASS team is here shilling about the project  :D. If you are claiming it to be the next big thing in the cryptocurrency space then you are wrong, i really do not even like the concept and how long it will go, we will review everything in the next 5 to 10 years and we will see what all projects lasted the test of time as i have seen many projects that came out with huge hype dying prematurely ;).

As title says BTC mining gates are closed for new comers we have to look for alternates. MASS is a coin with good use case. So far its going good and if someone has faith in this coin then its the right time to invest.

We have BTC thats about to cross its ATH and alt coins are also joining the party. Chances are that new altcoins like MASS may also go up in current bull run.

Recent BTC halving really worked, as it took BTC price very close to its ATH. I can only buy BTC from exchanges since mining it now is of no use. Good thing is there are still options to mine coins that are doing good on exchanges aka MASS.

Ten years ago BTC was mined on laptops and desktop computers, I wish time can be reversed but it cant. We have to look for opportunities that are around us and start our journey rather then cursing the time that has gone.

The MASS consensus protocol has also introduced storage apart from computing in the consensus process, thats why miners work has gone beyond transaction verification in MASS blockchain. MASS miners can provide consensus for para chains selectively.

This coin is not able to join the current BTC bull run like many other alt coins. Price of MASS token is continuously going down despite the fact that MASS project has too much unique features to offer. You can still keep this coin for long term investment, when corporates will embrace this blockchain its price will surly go up. So wait n see.

Many crypto projects are now shifting from smart contract to app chains and in future there will be many application chains that will form an application chain ecology and this in turn will require the support of cross-chain technology. MASS consensus engine can address cross-chain technical problems from the perspective of the bottom layer of consensus.

Another milestone for MASS as it hit Huobi exchnage.

MASS first massive bull run is over and its very very impressive compared to other new alt coins launched in 2020. MASS has successfully touched 1.6$ value and now gradually falling. It may settle somewhere around 0.1$ to 0.2$.

If you carefully study feature of mass , you will notice that mass has so much to offer other then just reducing the computational overhead. That's probably one of main reason why mass has gained price of 1$ in very short span.

Between I am interested in mining MASS. Can someone guide me whats minimum HDD and other configuration i need to mine MASS in bulk?

PoC has many advance features as compared to PoW and PoS, MASS doesn't require massive electricity nor you need to stake huge coins to participate. You can see high price of MASS its all because of PoC.

PoS algorithm is used in many projects before adopted by MASS net. Every project using PoS is performing good and seeing the current flight of MASS it looks like MASS is also going to Moon very soon.

MASS is popular only because it can be mined on desktop PCs or there is some other cool use case associated with it also?

Bitcoin halving party may be over but bitcoin real party just started. See the price of bitcoin right now. Those who bought it at 10k are real winners. MASS and other altcoins are also having a feast in current bull run.

This new thing will not be enough to end the ongoing halving party of bitcoin markets. Even anything may not be having such power to end this as bitcoin is the pioneer which means people believe into it regardless of whatever technology or revolutions you will be bringing in. I am not saying these just for your new algorithm but there were similar innovations had been introduced here but none of them sustained against bitcoin's evolution.

Probably governments' regulation or big corporate's negative sentiment nor anything will not have long term impact on bitcoin markets for sure.

Bitcoin mining now is only for rich guys who can afford expensive hardware and afford huge electricity bills. If you are new and not very rich then MASS and other such projects are for you.

The way price of MASS is increasing, its very clear that MASS will also become an expensive mining token just like PoC. Its because price of MASS is high and more and more people are coming in, very soon this will also out of reach.

Bitcoin doors for new miners who cant afford expensive hardware and electricity bills are close for ever. Whats important is that there are other options available where new miners can mine the coin profitably aka MASS.

thanks to sudo intellectuals like you many of newbie like us missed another golden chance to invest in a coin that gave huge return in very short interval.

Yes thats correct. There are many senior accounts who keep on predicting about coins (usually negative unless they invest themselves) and we newbies believe in them without doing any proper research.

Ten years ago mining was open for everyone but with time it was centralized and now only few can do this. MASS is good in a sense that everyone can at least participate in mining process, primary reason is its not power hungry.

MASS price is going and its a real test case for MASS. It has to remain stable somewhere around 0.75$ to 1$, otherwise people will take it as pumping and dumping coin.

MASS halving party may not be as attractive as bitcoin halving party. MASS has its own advantage like its PoC consensus algorithm which in turn is powerful enough to support many blockchain instances.

MASS is turning out to be a great coin since it has performed too good in both bull and bearish market. Since one year of its launch, we have seen massive investment in this coin.

recent btc halving has given so much to btc investors that no one imagined that after this halving btc will go so much up.
MASS may be good edition for new people who wanna join the market but it will take time.

no one can takes you back. done is done now. those who dont invest on time only regret after that. BTC is and will be supreme crypto leader, mark my words.

See spikes coming in price of MASS, this month it went upto to touch 1.4$ and now its trading around 0.6$. These stable prices are mainly because MASS has developed a strong community which many other coins fail to produce over the years.

Halving is no doubt one of key thing in btc price manipulation and recent btc price has broken all records of price height.  With this btc halving, many coins like mass has also got there moon shots.  So basically it's btc halving that is doing
.everthing.

The five advantages of MASS like Permission less , Fair , Energy Efficient , Universal and Secure are no doubt making it one of top consensus algorithm in current generation. MASS is also doing good on exchange in terms of both price and market cap. MASS need to prove that it can continue this behavior in future too.

Of course BTC is pioneer, enjoys trust of so many people and rules the crypto market. But we have to acknowledge new projects that are contributing good to crypto market. For instance, BTC mining is limited to people who can afford expensive mining equipment and electricity. On the other hand we have coins that have good market price and still provide equal opportunity to miners of all categories.

Right now every crypto coin is enjoying party because of Bitcoin halving. Once this party is over, we will see which coin has the capacity to stand on its own feet. MASS has so far done a great business since its launched on exchanges.

MASS may have its own edge but its comparison with BTC halving is not justified. This coin performance is good on CMC, perhaps the main reason is its PoC consensus algorithm. We have to see can this coin still maintain this value after BTC bull run is over. Only then we can say MASS PoC can takes you some years back.

OP you mentioned that MASS has shifted the consensus algo from expensive mining devices to storage but you haven't mentioned the distribution of reward based on quantity of storage. Like What reward one will get if he has 1 TB and other has 10 TB.

Its very obvious that more HDD you bring more reward you will get. But how much increase in reward is not listed anywhere. So its better to try and see yourself (if you are interested in seeing the reward).

I wish I could go back in time and mine BTC but its something not possible. But what's important is that there are coins that can mined with profit. All we need is have faith in them and start mining them. We dont care about coins when they have zero value rather we run after them when they are expensive.

Don't waste time now. Its still not late to buy MASSNET as its price has gone down to 0.30$ and BTC is at 60k. Its clear cut indication of MASSNET next bull run. Its best to buy this now to book your profit.

Bitcoin halving party in terms of mining may be over but it has brought with it such a huge value.  Its interesting how new consensus algorithm are changing the mining sector. With new algorithms like PoC its possible to mine using your HDD. But you need to be careful because the MASSNET reward to HDD ratio may be small since MASSNET is now trading on exchanges.

Price of MASS is gaining momentum and hopes are that in days to come its price will go up.
There are not much options available for new miners, MASS is a good opportunity for those who looking to mine something on there computers.

Its price is down right now. If someone want it for future bull run then this is the right time to buy it now. We have seen few massive bull runs of MASS, chances are that its accumulating volume for yet another bull run. Its ATH was 1.75$ which is very much decent. If BTC stays around 60k then who knows MASS may break its ATH.

No new miner in MASS since the early mining phase has been long gone. Now it become hard for any new miners as the price of MASS ain't high as it use to be. Either they decide to be in MASS because they really think the coin recovery or truly has nowhere to go.

That's very much true. Good time or profitable time to mine MASS was when it was not on exchange. Right now its price is volatile so we can see that complexity has also gone up. Its better to buy MASS rather then mine, its more profitable that way. Just my few satoshi.

If you are HODLer then you can wait for your target price. See current price of BTC, if you have bought BTC at dip then you can enjoy selling it at its ATH. MASS is down right not but that doesnt mean it will be down for ever, i will wait until I see my target price.

I joined this forum to hunt for coins that I can mine and earn some rewards. This is a good coin. It is interchangeable and open for everyone to mine.
And also equipment and resources are mandatory menus as our combat tools before the war. One thing I can say is that in the future, more and more will have to follow because technology can't be stopped like using old phones with new phones with high speed features.
Maybe we need another consensus algorithm in the future because BTC is PoW not good in terms of power consumption, rewards etc. Challenging PoC has a bright future.

PoW has it own worth and is responsible for security and robustness of BTC blockchain. Moving ahead ETH is also moving towards PoS this month and thats another way to do consensus without using too much power.
MASS is good, as its open for everyone. If you have extra HDD then you are good to mine MASS.

There are many who have got there profits from PoC backed MASS. One thing you need to keep in your mind is that whatever you wanna do with a coin do it when its on its initial stages. Once a project goes to final stages i.e. its launched or is on exchanges its very difficult to gain profit.

Those who have missed to mine BTC in its initial stages have very minor chances of getting profit, if they can buy expensive equipment and can afford huge electricity bills only then they can be benefited from BTC mining. There are coins still in market that are not as profitable like BTC but still have the capacity to give you adequate profit.

Once the coin is on exchange all its dynamics changes. I remember MASS before it was listed on exchange, not many cared about it at that time and at that time its complexity was also very low. Those who mined it at that moment were able to sell it whenit got it on hobit and other exchanges. Thats the story of crypto, you need to be smart on time.

I don't think mining any coin is a good option. If you like some coin just go and buy it and HODL. By mining you just burn your devices and energy, nothing else. I suggest if you like MASS then there is no point in mining it now. Just go to exchange like hobit where its listed and buy it. You will regret if you keep on wasting time on stuff like mining.

BTC halving party that started after recent halving is still in progress and it doesn't seem to be over very soon. Nonetheless this party is for those miners who have invested there interest in BTC 10 years back. Still MASS has opened his arms for new miners and that's something positive. Those who wanna see and learn mining must try mass.

crypto market is about buying the right coin, at right time and on right price. If you misses any of these filters then it become very difficult to get full profit. So those who have bought mass well on time can gain maximum profit from it just like whales invested in bitcoin well before public jumped into it. Always invest wisely and timely.

MASS is the right coin and this is the right opportunity to jump into this coin. With BTC going down, MASS is somewhat retaining ts price. Seeing the volume involved in trading of this coin, I am sure momentum is building up for this coin to go up in price with coming bull run. If you have faith in MASS then just don't let this opportunity go waste.

I think the real issue with MASS is that there marketing team is silent. There is no update about this project here on bitcointalkorg nor on there twitter page. The project has so much to offer but they are not updating us about whats happening here. With this behavior we wont be able to see MASS going up anytime soon.

Still miners who mine a block are getting 192 MASS as reward or its changed? In my rough opinion with current price of MASS 0.30$, reward for mining  a MASS block is around 60 to 70$ thats quite reasonable. But the real point is how much HDD is required to generate a block? Is there any MASS miner around that can answer this?

If they are following halving pattern of BTC then reward must be down from 192 on every halving. Reward is quite good as price of MASS is stable and in not going down, its showing strong resistance on 0.30$. This clearly indicates that it will go up from this point. DYOR and grab MASS at current price if you think its good investment.

If you are talking about parties then they are never over. Bitcoin parties are here since last 10 years and they will continue like that. MASS is very new to crypto market and we have not seen many parties from this coin. In this bull run MASS is not performing very well, I dont know whats the reason. Can somebody tell the reason.

MASS will defiantly take you 10 years back if you invest in this coin at current price and accumulate it in good quantity. its price is ideal right now and if you see its price pattern then one clearly judge that it will go up from here. DYOR and share your thoughts on what you think about buying MASS now.

The statement is not valid in current situation. We see price of BTC is still somewhat stable, its not going any where down but I dont know the reason why MASS price is not stable. Its only going down and down. Price of MASS is alarmingly going down? Can somebody share news from dev team that what exactly is wrong with MASS

MASS has gone down to its minimum price since its launch, I dont know wts the exact reason for that. BTC is still somewhat bullish and so are alt coins. Is this the end of this coin or other way around? It may be because whales have got there profit from this coin and have dumped it now. I still see its a good coin to buy.

Remember "when market is bear, cash is the king". See the price of MASS, its extremely lucrative for buying. We don't pay much attention to a coin when its down and out rather we buy it when it starts going up. That's the mistake made by majority of traders and that's why its said 80% of traders are in loss.

You may wait as price of bitcoin is taking correction and it seems that alt coins will also take a break. Let the price sink more then you may buy. If you have faith and trust in MASS then keep a close eye on that coin as surely it is available at discounted price. How much discount you want is upto you.

Dont wait more, just buy now if you are looking to invest in MASS now. You wont get low price which is available right now. MASS has find a support at 0.03$ and its rebounding from here. I am gathering MASS as I am sure it will touch 0.5$ very soon. As bitcoin is stable and looking for another bull run.

You need to be careful if you are planning to invest in MASS, as it has gone down significantly. It will stay there for a while. i do agree that if you can wait for a while then buy it, not much risk involved at current price. But dont expect it to come up in very short span of time. These are my few satoshis.

This is ideal price of MASS to buy. You wont see MASS too down as it is now. You just need to be brave when everyone fears to buy. Also BTC is getting bullish once again and this will directly effect coins like MASS that go up and down with bitcoin. See 24 hrs volume of this coin, its over on emillion most of the times.

MASS has gone down in sleeping mode and no one knows how long it will stay there in sleeping mode. If there team break some news regarding some new development then it may go up. Crypto market is also bearish as BTC continuously going down. So if you have MASS then just hodl it.

first Since its launch it seems to have a steady price between $0.5 to $0.7. I think so far the coin will work well on every exchange. but in my opinion, for now we are better off buying them from every exchange when compared to mining them. I think this is more interesting

MASS has gone to its ATH of 1.6$ since its launch. The price was stable in between 0.5 to 0.7$ but now it has gone down to 0.04 - 0.05$ and is stable in that window. I do agree with your idea that its better to buy this coin from exchange rather then mining it. I don't think there is any loss in buying MASS at current price.

The price of MASS is very much stable at 0.04$ which means it has chances of rebound from here. If you see TA of MASS then it always has a rebound from 0.05$. DYOR before making any decision on investment.

MASS price has gone down further but the concern is its volume has gone up by 43% i.e. over 1.4 million USD. There are lots of people who are still buying this coin for future gain. DYOR before you make any investment decision about MASS.

Talk about the future, past is gone. No doubt MASS has enjoyed a great past but its future is not looking great. Price is very much low and there are no solid indication that this price will go up from here. Also we are hearing no news about development from the team.

There are mixed indicators about MASS about its future but seeing its resistance on current price of 0.02$ i am very sure it will be up from here on. Its continuously refusing to go down from here which is clear indication that momentum is building up. Its ideal price to buy MASS at current rate.

Your observation seems to be very valid as MASS price is now on 0.03$ which is bounce back from 0.02$. MASS is proving that its here to stay. Every coin can survive the bull market surviving the bear market is the key.

Price is not the only factor which need to be considered while we invest in any coin. We need to know in Which direction the token is heading like on which exchnages it is listed and what are utilites of the token. If you keep on running after the price then you will end up losing money.

Then wts the factor we need to keep in mind while investing in any coin. Definitely price, volume, dev team are few key factors which everyone keep in mind while investing in any coin. Dont run after price but if you are investing in low turn over coin then keep an eye on its development news.

Mining has its own fun and once you start doing it you do it for your own satisfaction apart from earning profits. But yes its better to buy in terms of profit ration since in mining you have to invest lots of efforts while on exchange price of MASS is very much in range these days.

It will be a bit funny if you compare Bitcoin halving with MASS token. Bitcoin till date is supreme leader of crypto market while MASS price is 0.03$. We need to be a bit realistic while marketing something. Knocking out one of the most mature product of crypto market only makes you less appealing in the market.

We also need to be realistic about the shortcomings in BTC and other top alt coins like ethereum, PoW has serious short comings that sooner or later need to be addresses. PoC and other consensus algos are the ultimate way forward that will take over the consensus algo in coming days. Just my few satoshis.

Despite shortcomings in PoW, its still the most poplar consensus algorithm and no other consensus algorithm has the ability to overpower the PoW. You can say PoS which mass is offering may stand somewhere after PoW but not near to it.

The point is PoW is for Bitcoin but if you are looking to launch new coin then why not use some consensus algorithm that can full fill short comings of POW consensus algorithm. PoS are a good choice for new projects.

Bitcoin halving season always give good surprises and its good for the bitcoin prices. Halving party is still there for people who invest wisely. Wait, there must be some halving party for MASS miners also. Can someone tell when MASS halving party is coming.

The people who joined bitcoin mining area in early days got tremendous benefits. Joining Bitcoin it isn't particularly beneficial to mine now. I figure the best thing that the makers of this undertaking ought to do Is persuade individuals in their own string. These steady costs are for the most part since MASS has fostered a solid local area which numerous different coins neglect to create throughout the long term.

The opportunity to invest in any coin whether its mining or buying coin is in its initial days. Bitcoin mining party is defiantly over, only those who can afford expensive hardware or electricity bills can jump in mining BTC. MASS was good for mining in its initial days but not anymore, you better buy this from exchange.

Bitcoin is 12 to 13 years old while MASS is hardly 2 years old then how can you say its too late to invest in mining of MASS? MASS is still in its very early days and its not that late to invest in MASS mining. There is literally no data avaible to tell that.

Bitcoin took lots of time before it gets recognition while MASS is launched in a time when everyone knows what crypto is and how much beneficial mining can be. So comparison of Bitcoin and MASS cant be done at the moment. If you have HDD going idle everyday then better invest that in mining.

The main answer which is still not answered by anyone is that how much profit MASS can give you at the moment? I can make a decision after getting a satisfactory answer to that

If you really wanna know about that answer then I tell you dont waste your time here rather go and join there telegram group. There TG is very active and you will get to know how much MASS you will get for specific HDD. I got the answer but its 6 months old, so it wont help here. Please do post what answer you get for benefit of all.

The subject of this thread is very true, BTC halving party is over for those who are not willing to understand how this market works. While MASS PoC is a good addition, it certainly failed to take off as a coin. See the price of MASS, its trend is only in down word direction for almost more then 6 month. Thats something not encouraging for new investors.

We cant make decision based on 6 months price of this coin. Have you explored other features of MASS like giving an energy efficient consensus algorithm as well as multi chain blockchain instance support. Please see features offered by MASS before giving any judgement.

Your observation is fair and I admit that MASS has no doubt unique features but it has to show that apart from features MASS has the tendency to go up in terms of price also. I coin with good features is useless if it failed to go up in price.

MASS time for now is over, as its evident from its price history its continuously going down. Though MASS has exceptional features it fail to gain momentum in its price. Even when Bitcoin was bullish MASS was no way near to bull run. Now it will take 6 months or year for MASS to regain its lost momentum.

We can never say when a coin can go up or down. MASS may jump up at any time. The reason I have trust in MASS is because it has strong fundamentals and that what every coin must have. Though MASS is very much down in price still it has fair chance of going up.

We have been listening for so many months that MASS has this feature and bla bla but what nobody is focusing is that MASS fail to raise in terms of price. What you will do of a coin that has unique features but has very price for months, definatly yo will avoid such coins.

There is no shortcut to success in crypto market. You have to find the right coin and then wait for sometimes before getting good reward. If you think that a coin can only go in upword direction then you are at mistake. you have to be with a coin whether its going up or down.

But I dont think MASS is the right choice at the moment since its price is way too down and we are not hearing any project update about the project. Just look at some other coin that can give you good return in coming future. I dont think MASS has good future in coming days.

I have a difference here that is we cant predict the future and there is no way we can say with cetanity that MASS has no future. Same was said for BTC in 2009 and see where its standing today. Likewise, if you dont like a coin you cant say its game if over forever.
