New thread for promotion?

No one was updating the previous thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508849.0) so making a new one was a natural thing to do

Great Skirmantas ! Let's get things in shape again, there is a long way to go with Maza :)

Good to have a new thread we can update the OP on since we have new wallets coming.

Yeh, looking forward to the new wallet with the changes.  8)

great! ;-)

Best of luck Mazacoin! I'm rooting for you.

GREAT move! Support from Russia!  :)

There is no better way to see when a troll miner is 100% in a coin haha ! Thanks buddy !

Hard fork source is up now on github.

https://github.com/MazaCoin/MazaCoin

The android wallet has been released, get it while it's hot! ;D

Faucet www.MazaHits.pw

Your website has a link to a suspicious & old mazacoin client
Compiled wallets should only be downloaded from official sources listed in the OP

So is the NEW wallet on the website?

Lol I put like $15 into MZC back in the day...is now worth approximately 1.7 cents. Don't think I've ever seen a coin fall as bad as MZC did. Live and learn...

The mazacoin website? Yes.


That's pretty much the result of speculation + poor project management by the previous developer

I know this is probably cliche in most of the communities right now, but just remember, 1 MZC = 1 MZC, this currency was designed to be the currency of a nation and people looking solely to the exchange rate with bitcoin are looking at it wrong, the same as people who only look at Bitcoin as it relates to FIAT.  These are currencies that are meant to stand alone.  Now linking MZC to staple purchases, Flour, Sugar, Milk, etc, will be beneficial for the nations that choose to adopt MZC.

Yep, that is the way we must look at cryptocurrencies in general.

Namely as complementary currencies.

So that people have a backup currency in place should something go wrong with the USDollar (hyperinflation?)...

You can't put a complementary currency in place AFTER the hyperinflation happens... it needs to be in place NOW.

Did you not see Aurora coin ?

Aurora was not this bad.. This grew in the shadow of Aurora and this was just another pump and dump coin.
Too bad, I was dumb enough to loose half my stack in this useless coin. Not blaming the coin, blaming myself and the couple of days I had to stay away from my computer.  ::)

Basic trading 101:

You don't invest in something during its IPO... you wait for it to find a floor, and THEN you invest.

Now is the best time to invest in mazacoin. Not during the hyped "IPO" (if we were to compare mazacoin to a stock)

+ 1000000 % NEVER EVER invest on IPO unles your name is warren buffet )))

In any case people maza to the moon!

Less than 5,000 blocks until the Hard fork, this is a MANDATORY update, please make sure you update your Mazacoin wallet to the newest version 9.0.1 which is available at the download links on Mazacoin.org as well as the first post of this thread.

We also now have a Mazacoin tip bot in our #Mazacoin IRC channel for anyone interested.

The Lakota Leaders hold the key for their own success now. Declaring Maza Coin official currency will raise the price together with the hard fork. Brothers, great times are ahead of us, I believe we have broken the four month long downtrend.

Hopefully you are right, in the hands of the Lakota Leaders at the moment.

For your maza viewing pleasure we have a new Abe Blockexplorer online

https://mazacha.in (https://mazacha.in)

We will be making continual improvements to the site and infrastructure over the next couple weeks, so do expect some sporadic downtime, though it should be minimal.

We are running the new code on all of our nodes, and we expect to have pools available very soon.

For your mining pleasure, we'll have mergemining (with mazacoin as the parent chain for now), and other services, including a public p2pool node & a multipool, with maza payouts to come a little later. PPS, PPLNS, and Proportional payout pools will be available.

You can find our p2pool settings here. http://bitbin.it/aXYpatZc (http://bitbin.it/aXYpatZc)  I've attempted to use other settings found in these threads..but was unable to join a global pool. These settings may need tweaking, and I'm open. Our p2pool node is available today, and we'll move some additional hashpower over to it today. There are no fees to mine on our p2pool node. We mergemine on it instead. When we have a compatible payout system, we may offer p2pool w/ MM payouts.

p2pool.maza.club:14476 for peers
https://maza.club/p2pool (https://maza.club/p2pool) for stats
stratum+tcp://p2pool.maza.club:14477 for your workers
 - username MZC address
 - password - anything

Our mergemining and multi pools will be open in the next couple day. Please contact me  if you would like to help test our pools - some are available today (if you don't mind the messy website!)

I can always be reached at guruvan@ShastaFarEye.net - PGP key in my sig.
We intend to direct a portion of our earnings to the Tribal Trust, once we're provided with addresses/mining keys for that purpose (owlhooter!)  :D

Thank you!

Found out a old friend of mine is 25% native nation man.  This is such a great time to be alive

The Tribal trust is available here MS5LqNWzrRo6DXzjXcafrCpWJL2NUXGRv5

Who owns 482 million maza coins?

We do :) together

nothing can break us now

51% can and will

Cool. thank you. For now we've added that as the default address on the p2pool node.

If any of you would like to mine directly into the trust, you can mine at p2pool.maza.club with anything you prefer as a username or password, except a maza address
i.e.
   bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://p2pool.maza.club:14477 -O ANY_USERNAME

Just want to make sure, it is version v0.9.0.1 that is the most updated version of the wallet correct?

That is correct v0.9.0.1 is the new wallet.

Does the new wallet have the current OpenSSL library?

Yes, new wallet has 1.0.1h in the Windows build, I think the Mac build has 1.0.1g.

"51% can and will"

-> Home! The english are too many (1:05)

Who wants to predict the rise after the hardfork?  ;D

"Who wants to predict the rise after the hardfork?"

The rise will be hard for an average person to comprehend + if the Lakota leaders unite with us in this defiance of tyranny.

What did you mean by that?

I meant the the hard fork united with the Lakota leaders support can cause an epic rise of mzc price. I still prefer steady and slow rise for it's sustainability.

i was more on a guessing wave when asking the question.... i meant prediction of the rise in price, mine is 100 satoshi

Well, it depends on the Lakota leaders but I say 2000satoshi

I think the hype of this coin is over. The price will remain low as most bag holders will dump on any sign of a increase. The limited money available for altcoins has moved elsewhere and I doub't this coin will see a hold over 100 sats every again.

There needs to be almost 3 BTC invested to move the coin to 70 sats on Mintpal.

Bagholders? Everyone can be bagholder buying maza with 1BTC on there :D

Boxxa, wit ur logic everyone who bought BTC at 3 dollars are bagholders. BTC exist becourse of its fundamental function. MZC is more than anon or colorcoin, and more than a hype. It is a key for the Lakotas to open their shackels. But nobody can force then to turn the key, they must do it themself.

Our position is exiciting - The Lakotas don't care of mzc becourse it has very little value. The BTC investors don't want to give mzc value becourse the Lakota leaders don't support it. P Harris could perhaps break this circle, let us see. He has strenght of ten men.

What?  Have you been reading the comments of his Filipina friends on social networking sites? 

Maybe I'll sell some crumbs of other altcoin holdings and buy a few more MZC, just for old times' sake.  Still wish this coin would work.  Not sure the management has what it takes, although it's improving.

He has the strength of 10 really weak men.

The lakota don't care about any coin. How can they even dream of using mazacoin? Do you know the harsh reality of how those guys live?
Btc investors don't wnat to give this coin value because it was a hype nation coin , and that hype is long dead.

even 100 sats is almost a 400% rise

"What?  Have you been reading the comments of his Filipina friends on social networking sites?"

-> No, what do they say?

"The lakota don't care about any coin. How can they even dream of using mazacoin? Do you know the harsh reality of how those guys live?
Btc investors don't wnat to give this coin value because it was a hype nation coin , and that hype is long dead."

-> Well, first the BTC investors gave mzc a 12million marketcap, then the Lakota leaders did not want to make the currency official. Now I believe it's their turn. By making mzc official they could set the spark.

Hopefully some other tribe will see the potential that mzc can offer. It is now the Native Americans turn (as I said the BTC investors all ready proved on the month of may what is possible).

What potential? What is special about the coin? Only the name.
You and I can make easily another mazacoin with the same specifications and it will reach probably the same value with nothing to back it up.

Go and launch another bitcoin , will it reach 600$/coin?

BTC is 5 years old project with same "olderly" as MZC should BTC stay at 0,5 dollars ( almost same marketcap with number of coins) so there is really no difference

It' snot the number of coins nor the age of the coins who determine the price of a coin.
It's the market , and the market says mazacoin is going down

BTC is being used, and therefore has perceived value.
MazaCoin isn't, and so doesn't.

do you all listen yourself? Mazacoin is 3 months old project ( Bitcoin in that age had no value, nonone use it and noone care about it - 1 pizza take 10 000BTC it´s more than 1 000 000MZC compared about numbers of maximum coin so MZC have bigger value than BTC in that age ..wake up all)

BTC is the virtual currency, it has the history, the press, and what little adoption there is.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of altcoins now, and no rational reason to think that any of them (or at least any of the simple clones) will ever amount to anything.
At the current price of 20 satoshis, the entire 50M coin premine is worth 10 BTC, or about $6500.
Why would a tribe, having decided to use a virtual currency in the first place, decide (acting rationally) to use MazaCoin, rather than just spending $6500 to create their own 'National Reserve' and 'Tribal Trust'?
The only point was the premine. The premine is now almost worthless. So what is the point?

 

And again we have the issue of people valuing MZC against bitcoin and the USD.  Mazacoin was designed to be used as a currency of a tribal nation.  If they can start using it  on the reserve they can make their own value for it in goods and services without equating it to BTC or fiat.  It will be how much MZC does a loaf of bread cost me.  At that point it can bring more value to other investors.  Not just as a quick dump to BTC and fiat.  Sure there will have to be a conversion rate somewhere for importing/exporting from the reserve, but if they are using it then value can come.  The Lakota are one of the poorest people in the country and this coin hopes to help relieve that poverty. 

murraypaul ,stompix and perezoso I understand your concern. However in life as well as in business it is useless to look backwards. Let us be happy for the new dev team, possible new tribes joining, and the hard fork

that will keep the inflation in order.

Maza Coin has a price and a value, it is fairly small at the moment, but will begin to rise slowly.

50M coin premine is worth 10 BTC, or about $6500 -> this is still money - a new beginning from where we can start again.

I believe we should not take the Dogecoin approach and think one mzc is one mzc.

We should monitor mzc against gold, BTC, dollar, euros, coffee, bread, silver etc.. This is the essence of currency. Doge supporters can not hide the fact their currency value is decreasing. We also cannot hide the fact

that mzc has very modest value at the moment, and why should we? It's only 4 months old.

  +1 Good post.

Actually that value is not true.
You have 6500$ of coins if the price keeps the same level while you sell all your coins.
It won't happen. You're looking more to some 4000$.

What's that? The average wage in a well developed country for 1 month?

Go to a shop in the US and tell me what can you buy for 10 000 people with 4000$.
You'll spend more on gas that the goods.

The same could be said of bitcoin 4 years ago.

I told that several times ..noone listening .. for more Payu said also it take years to reach sucess it will be hard but finally everyone will be smilling even we hit 0.01USD after 4 years it´s still thousands %+

That's some thing people don't understand.
From the start mazacoin had a value of x satoshi... based on what? Nothing.
It actually got the price purely based on how people thought mazacoin would follow bitcoin.

Bitcoin went through all the values from 10 000 a pizza to 1 btc =1000$ on demand and usage it didn't start at a value of x usd.
Mazacoin started from an arbitrary point and it's still on an arbitrary point based on no real usage just speculation.

So stop comparing any other coin with bitcoin.

 I think you made my point.  MZC started higher due to speculation based on bitcoin.  It is still in it's price discovery phase as we work on adoption and usage.

So it's going to 1 dogetoshi as there is no adoption and no usage.
Actually both adoption rate and usage have dropped since the peak so this might end a coin where you must pay somebody to take it from you.

Meh.  Who cares?  Deleted.

in a couple minute the value for new mined coins will rise by a factor of 5

now at block 99999

And welcome to the fork everyone, if you still haven't updated your wallets, please do so now.

united miners pool did not update wallet they run their own fork sad

Mazacha.in is showing current transactions, and is on the correct fork

We have also verified that p2pool.maza.club is on the correct fork and finding blocks :)

A withdrawal from Mintpal to our pool's address was successful. A transfer from Cryptsy to Mintpal was also successful.

We are verifying payouts on our PPS pool as I write this. Mergemining payouts are not yet complete. Contact me on twitter @guruvan or mailto:guruvan@ShastaFarEye.net (http://mailto:guruvan@ShastaFarEye.net) if you'dlike early access. 

Looks like hamster is on the wrong fork too.  I contacted all pools we had listed on the OP and notified them of the fork a week before the fork.  So they had plenty of time to update.

Which pool is on the correct fork then?

You can mine here: http://p2pool.maza.club:14477 with your MZC address as username this weekend, and Monday we'll have PPS and mergeming.

maza to ze moon

sell order on mintpal and cryptsy are moving up i cannot say to the moon but...

owlhooter: Avg block time looks pretty solid. Great work. Thanks.

Yeah, I've been away since about an hour after the fork but was watching it all day, it looks to be flowing a lot smoother than it was before.

United miners has updated their pool.  I also know that CryptoADHD, Suchpool, and hashfaster were updated before the fork, I'm sure some more were as well.

Minebig is on the correct fork as well.

Almost back in the top 100 for market cap. Rated 103 on www.coinmarketcap.com. You can buy about 160K MZC now for about $20 now. Why not? If the Lakota do accept it and start using it, it will be valuable. Otherwise, it's like a bad movie. (This assumes you have $20 you could live without.)

I know I can't but not buy at that price. Hopfully the horror movie never comes. We all need to buy to keep the exchanges happy!!
I am a holder, always have been and will be for years to come.
Family and freinds dont get DVD, aftershave, purfume or chocolates anymore for presents, they get Maza and only Maza  ;D

Hi there,

We have already successfully added Litecoin and we are now interested in adding MazaCoin support to Hive. If you guys as a community are interested, can you direct us to some stable service which features a Blockchain.info-style API that we can build the integration around?

Our newest version is targeted at mobile, and an iOS version is under development (https://github.com/hivewallet/hive-ios).

http://i59.tinypic.com/1z6ur2c.png (https://hivewallet.com/)

For those that like to argue and bicker, there is an ongoing discussion about which tokens we should be prioritizing and adding here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637227.0;all

Thanks!

We here at ShastaFarEye are very interested, and will implement whatever Hive requires to work with Mazacoin.

 Please let us know which code base you need for a block explorer and we'll put it together at https://MazaCha.In - this is currently running abe, but it's not a problem to run another explorer if you need.

EDIT: looks like you need SPV nodes as well. Was not able to locate the mazacoinj posted on your github wiki page.

owlhooter the mazacoinj link was https://github.com/mazacoin-project/mazacoinj  - do you have this code somewhere? If so, we'll get one of these online asap. (frankly I was wishing for a mazacoinj just the other day, and would be stoked to have it for a whole lot of reasons!)

I'll release the mazacoinj code in a day or two. Gotta check for any security vulnerabilities that I might of left behind

Where can we find a blog of Maza Nation doing daily lives with MZC?

Sweet. I'll get that up on one or two of our nodes as soon as you have it Skirmant. Thanks.

Somebody get on the horn to Payu and tell him to give the guys down on the Navajo Nation a call about the new cryptocurrency called NavajoCoin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=679791
https://twitter.com/NavajoCoin
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=680884.0


These dimwits have no apparent link to the Navajo but have appropriated Navajo-style colors and design in their website and, obviously, the name.  They claim it is to "honor" the Navajo Codetalkers.  Yes "honor" the Navajo by using their name and cultural symbols for a cryptocoin that has nothing to do with the tribe (other than cashing in on its image).

Can be spun as a reason why a genuinely Native American coin could be useful.  The real Navajo ought to be made aware of it too, if they aren't already.

Oh, the irony.

^ That's what I'm sayin

It's summer and feels good to have Maza Coins, we have a bright future ahead of us and the Lakotas too. Just keep your head cool once price rise begins.

only 1 investor can grow up price about +4000% with actuall "sell-row" ( 50 000USD)

At Long last!

Price has been slightly rising after fork and back within top 100 according to coinmarketcap. Hopefully we can keep interest in maza alive. Are there any plans to make the site look more professional?

Also I believe Rocketpool shutdown its maza pool.

Dam it feels good to own Maza Coins.

Yes, we hope to make the site look more professional, and are currently looking for volunteers that are willing to do a new site design, if you have web design experience and want to help give us a professional look just let me know and if you have a sample that would be great.

That's good to hear. I will definitely try to come up with some ideas. I'm not a professional web designer, but I have had a site in the past and learned some web design.

  I  do not think multipool is important at this time. You can buy Maza from any profits you make mining. The Cloak Multipool shut down because it was not profitable and There are few coins that have as much hype/excitement as Cloak.

Most multipools either mine with little to no concern for the networks they mine, OR they are there to provide "market protection" for speculators invested in the coin. This results in aggressive mine&dumping by those pools. We don't particularly think that multipools like this are much more than a short term phenomenon, as such. However, there is definitely some call for miners to be able to work with the gear they have, or the networks that perform well with their gear, and get paid in their coin of choice.

From multipools to p2pool:

I am pleased to note that we have seen our first global peer connected on the p2pool-maza network! We run two nodes to ensure a minimum for the network:

Peers connect to either:
p2pool.maza.club:14476

Or, We'll make our other node publicly available later today at
p2pool-2.maza.club:14476

If you'd like to mine on our nodes, point your workers at port 14477. There are no fees - just enjoy your maza!
Stats are available on the worker port or https://maza.club/p2pool (https://maza.club/p2pool)


To encourage more miners to connect to the global p2pool-maza network, ShastaFarEye Prospectors MazaClub is going to send out hashrate milestone bonuses to p2pool miners. You need not mine on our nodes to receive a bonus!
One was sent today https://mazacha.in/tx/24c288122a7e28930d6858e086b424044c0382dede2aae0b57848ed28de42710
Another one will be sent when the (global) p2pool-maza network hashrate sustains 2TH/s for 7 days.

Please let us know if you have any trouble connecting to the global network, or are experiencing performance issues as we've configured the network. We'll get it resolved!.

Skirmant & owlhooter - maybe it would be a good thing to drop this p2pool code up on one of your two main maza repos? (also, maybe you could list the p2pool info, and ShastaFarEye's node and PPS pool in the OP?)

Hi u all

The mzc logo I have been working on is starting to shape up. Here are the links

http://www.animation.fi/mzc_medium.jpg
http://www.animation.fi/mzc_small.jpg

Tell me what u think Maza Warriors and we can make it even better

 - Tomis3000

http://www.animation.fi/mzc_small.jpg

Looks amazing!!  :)

It's not very often that you find a great coin for only a few Satoshi. Seriously, people are morons if they don't buy MazaCoin!

Bravo on the logo!!

Very nice!

The buffalo horns represent the success of the hunt. IMO this should be more obvious and prevalent in the design, BUT, I really like the notion of stylizing them so the put forth more of an M
  - if this stylized horns/M put some turned up serifs on the ends or near the ends of the horns, it would make a nice MMMMMoney symbol.

It's not clear to me who designed the original, and why the specific color wheel was chosen. There are several different traditions, some placing black in the south, some in the west, some in the north.

In a quick check of Oglala Lakota tradition, I find typically black to be in the West. http://warehouse.olc.edu/local_links/grad_studies/?where=local_links/grad_studies/ is one such example. Here are a couple more:

Looks incredible! Nice work! I think it is miles better than the current one.

Hmmmm, not convinced yet.

I saw an interesting article on Mazacoin, must read!! The Next Cryptocurrency Investment: Mazacoin (http://"https://www.ddmarkets.com/the-next-cryptocurrency-investment-mazacoin/")

Thanks to everyone for the feedback (mzc logo).

"if this stylized horns/M put some turned up serifs on the ends or near the ends of the horns, it would make a nice MMMMMoney symbol"
Guruvan

Could u draw a picture what u meant by the modification of M letter, I would be happy to make such version (u can also PM me).

This is pretty cool, if a little in need of proofreading. Very well stated on the "sovereign currency" issue.


Sure can. I'll try to get that done today. I came up with the idea playing with the CSS for mazacha.in (https://mazacha.in) - I had a copy of the Mazacoin logo set right underneath the "mazacha.in" on the navbar header, right under the "m' - the current horns are very close, but need some little tick so to be an "m" like we have $ and BTC

On the subject of mazacha.in (https://mazacha.in) - we've pushed an update to the site. This should be faster, easier to use and read.Please let us know what you think. (We still have a few cosmetic details to iron out, especially to improve your mobile experience.)  

Also, FYI, I sent a mail to contact@mazacoin.org attempting to get in touch with Payu. ShastaFarEye has a good deal of professional networking experience on our team, including one member who currently also runs a commercial wireless internet provider in Montana. We would like to solve some of the objections raised toward mazacoin by providing some labor, expertise, and equipment to build out a wifi network in Pine Ridge.

Guys if you dump this thing at volume along 20-30 Sats I'm gunna take a bath and move to 1 Million too thin on the sheets now send em to Cryptsy LOL

Well, maybe it didn't work as well with the horns turned up, but we brainstormed and one of our team (@mannnabanana) came up with this:
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/16HV11c9iXkfyZpFIX69UbgKtmC5CRxgqGfgT_VTJl-8/pub?w=480&h=360
Just a little addition, similar to how the CNY symbol looks, would be easily integrated into a primary logo, and easily left out for more styled personalized maza logos.

And, the important aspect to me is that  the "m" we use on the primary logo, the "m" we use for the money symbol, and the "m" in mazacoin are the same :)  Also, something like the above is very easily written by hand.

Maza means money. We should capitalize on this.

+1  8) Nice logo

Guruvan - this is brilliant, I will implement this M letter to the coin design. Great!

- Tomis3000

Thanks guys!! We'll be quick to put updated logos on all our sites and social media accounts.

We're working on a version of the rest of "mazacoin" to go with the "m"  - specifically to be used for "mazacoin accepted here" emblems.

This is the one we found on Mazatalk (http://mazatalk.com)
https://maza.club/p2pool/static/img/maza_accepted_here.jpg
We were thinking to integrate the Maza Money M (and medicine wheel)
 

• a little larger than the rest of the word, then,
• change the font to match that "m" more,

          (more cursive looking, rounder, fuller more like buffalo horns, somewhat pre-raphaelite with the Z and the I suggesting Corn....

• retain the forward slant, and
• gradiate the word from white to yellow to black on the "n"

And then put the "Accepted here" in the remaining space.

We're doing these by hand, and don't really have the graphic design/photoshop gear available
(well, really @BannanaLotus - Manna Banana is, I'm just making suggestions!)

So, it's not much "money" at this time, but we've put an in-house maza bounty on this work, let's extend that. We like to see interaction, not just product, so @mazaclubMZC (https://twitter.com/mazaclubMZC) will pay 1-10K maza for each verified merchant-use sighting of the new logo, and 100K for the completed "accepted here' sign - which I think we can agree is "accepted by the community" once it's on...5 merchants OR the mazacoin.org (http://mazacoin.org) site. (who wants a bounty on reworking mazacoin.org?! - We'll put your completed work on mazachain.org for everyone to see, and mirror mazacoin.org once it's there.)

• we've put up a new Twitter account for all things maza :) @mazaclubMZC (https://twitter.com/mazaclubMZC)
• We'll keep our self promotion to a minimum, not repeat our ads daily
• We'll kickdown maza for quality maza-related links/tweets sent in DM on twitter or to news@maza.club << I'll set that up today.
• We'll start running some maza giveaways shortly - please send some ideas.

     -"Follow us to enter" is kinda lame, RT to enter, even more so. Interactive, and actively spreading the maza message is what we want

• We'll also run hashpower giveaway promotions!

We're working on a deal that will give us a surplus of SHA256d mining power. Contact us at info@shastafareye.net or info@maza.club if you're interested in a mining contract. We'll offer you Hourly, Daily and Weekly rates, over-delivery of hash, and rapid fulfillment. We'll also offer spot market pricing for hash power. At this time, our fulfillment isn't automated, but we can deliver multiple THs to your pool of choice fairly quickly. Of course, your contract will come with 0% fee mining on ShastaFarEye (https://prospectors.shastafareye.net) or maza.club (https://maza.club/p2pool) pools (https://maza.club/PPS). And, we'll likely offer discounts from standard market rates if you're mining maza, even if you mine at other pools! Since we don't have any formal programs in place, everything is negotiable :)
 

Here is a post from the latest p2pool-maza node! We'd be stoked to see some more hash on this node (as much as we like it on our own!)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=695782.msg7859651#msg7859651

I like it very much, but this version looks more like a real world coin, are you also going to make a version of this that looks more like a symbol/icon too?
Because that's where this graphic will later be used most, in symbol/icon form on marketcap sites, exchanges and pools.
So symbol/icon character is very important at this stage.

Don't get me wrong, the way you developped this graphic would make it perfect for a high budget video that is marketing mazacoin, ...

I think Mathgamain /Tomis3000 work is great - professional , high quality, stylish, bold, - could do with his work all over this, website  etc -  the old logo and website pure amature rubbish, the two pieces I have seen Tomi do are thousands of times better.   

Hi everybody and thank u for the feedback again, yes I will provide a whole set of graphics for Maza Coin logo (2d symbol/icon and 3d version).

I will just fine tune the M letter, I really like the Guruvans/mannabananas version

- Tomis3000

OK, we have another handdrawn piece - a full mazacoin with more of the pseudo-symbols (corn in the Z to A) I was talking about. needs more definition to work, maybe some hints of green, but hopefully it's enough to make the idea more clear.
again the artwork by @BananaLotus.
https://i.imgur.com/7JTGhjW.jpg?2

Maybe it is time that we put MZC back in the picture ;)

Hi everybody, I will post the new mzc logo suggestion here by monday, I was fine tuning it on saturday but still have to work on it a bit.

- Tomis3000

Maza has never been out of the picture. Only out of the news. Let's change this.

And here we are

http://www.animation.fi/mzc_small3.jpg

here are the links

http://www.animation.fi/mzc_small3.jpg

If these are ok, I will make the 2d/icon versions. Tell me what u think

- Tomis3000

looks great, but again, it doesn't work for me when I try to use it as small icon (32x32 or 64x64)

https://i.imgur.com/clrMLai.jpg

Then I can barely make out the details. That's not how a logo should be.

Hi,

I see what u mean. I will provide the icon versions and u can test how they work

Thanks. And again, great work, I like where this is going...

Love 'em! Can't wait to see the icon!
-favicon is even smaller than what georgem did above on my 10" screens

Yes, favicon is even smaller, 16x16... but a favicoin is allowed to look pixelated... there is only so much you can do with 16x16 pics.

But 32x32 is starting to be important because its the icon you see in the taskbar, or your desktop environment etc...

Great GIFs George! I sended few thousands of mzc to mazacha

- Tomi

ps. My next step is to make the Maza Coin text (Guruvans team version).

pps. Probably also few more suggestions for the logo, I think a bit bolder M letter would also look good.. Lets see

wow, thanks, I was hoping someone could chip in a few maza now and then so I could keep on doing that forever.
So, I plan on creating 1 or 2 GIFs every day.

I will keep an eye on new design iterations you create and will implement them in my GIFs.


Yes, as was proven in what you created here: the bold M looks fantastic... but the new thin M is more traditional, ... so... what way to go?

http://www.animation.fi/mzc_small.jpg

Hi,

I was planning to test the traditional M letter but as a bit more bolder version and see how it would look. Becourse mzc is so close to my heart I would want the logo to be just perfect.

- Tomi

ps. I will post the updates here and to skype

This one breaks my browser. turns your whole post grey (and Tomi's above you) - I like the message though :)

This can happen if there are too many GIFs on the same webpage... depending on what browser you use, and how much RAM you have, it can break your browser.
This normally shouldn't happen though...

If you'll post the links to the GIFs as well we'll get them posted to twitter in a few places. We'll launch @mazatribe next week as a purely community-oriented source, and ask for some community volunteers to help run that account (and the G+ account to match)

Once again great GIF George, a reward has been send to your Maza address, thank u!

Thanks for your donation, I am very proud that my GIF was twitted by @mazacoin.  ;D

Please spread this around and sign the petition!

Solidarity and all that


In what is being called a federal land “buyback” program, the federal government is poised to seize land belonging to Indians and Cowboys.The Oglala Sioux and Lakota Sioux of the reservation have been told by the Federal Government that the National Parks Service will take over land in the South Unit of the Badlands National Park.

 

Interior claims it will be a “Tribal National Park” in an effort to camouflage the theft. They will hold the land in “trust” for the Indians, many of whom are agreeable because they want to see it put back to its pristine state and they have been promised a whole host of benefits.

 

The congressional bill authorizing the buyback means that tribal members and non-tribal members will be robbed of their deeded land at whatever price the government thinks it’s worth.

If owners refuse, the government will merely take it at no cost as the bill is written."

Thousands of tribe members will be affected in countless ways, including losing their share of the income from the entrance fee to North Gate of the Badlands National Park which will increase the economic depression in Pine Ridge, the eighth-largest reservation in the United States and the poorest. About 49% of the population live below the federal poverty level. Also residents will be forced to move, others will lose their grazing income from the land and this will push cattle ranchers out of business. It is bad enough that we lost the Black Hills, will this be the next Wounded Knee?

I'm glad to see MZC has a new thread and more activities. Love the new logo and can't wait to see it on the new wallet.

Any news about the text? I ask because I am thinking about some GIFs where I can use Maza Coin text to apply it on a creature.  ;D

exactly, if you have independent communities, you are in a major advantage for such accounting.  at the end every other national community will follow.  crypto is the most correct and fair way to define people's time or 'money' as some people refer to it.

I still hold a bulk of coins, and have several btcs ready for collateral to catch more, so this coin isn't going anywhere any time soon, no death at sight. It certainly isn't the team's fault that cryptorush went down, and with it link to fdrn/ mzc. Experiment of this size is more important than quick gain.

Hi George, real good GIF once again, yea we have an owl that is always watching over mzc :)

I have an artist making vektor graphics about the mzc text, and she said it will be ready by monday. I will send u the link to the material.

Its like 29,5 celsius here in Finland (real hot) so I have been by the beach all day.

Ps. Guruvan has also his team working on the text, so we will unite our forces and generate smthng awesome :)

Good Morning Mazacoin!

Just wanted to update in this thread and add my voice as what I have planned could be a big thing for Mazacoin. I've penned a film script where a couple take a motorcycle tour through the American countryside, and they stop by in Laramie, Wyoming. Imagine if they could find a store, like a cafe, there that takes Mazacoin, and has their sticker in the window! Whatever the fate of the film I definately want to add that scene and will promote on youtube. I know a hard fork has changed the economics of the coin but I remember Payu talking about the five year vision for this coin, I will certainly have it done within that time for sure  8)

Hey now!

Skirmantas has posted a fresh version of the android wallet - please grab a copy and test it out! We tested it this morning and it was awesome!

We've announced this via @mazaclubMZC and have started a giveaway:

"Take a screenshot of your new $MZC address in your android wallet, tweet it to us & @MazaCoin with #moarmaza - first 10 get  moar maza!"
(on twitter only, not on this thread) ;)

Please RT! Random giveaways may come if you tweet! Remember, Maza Means Money! Let's get people excited about it again!

With all the scams this week, people are going to be looking for safer places to put their BTC - let's make that be $MZC!!

It is so cheap I jumped on board...just in case.

Exactly... with those prices... you can't go wrong.

EDIT: improved the GIF some more.

Hey All,

   www.cryfter.com has been accepting MazaCoin via CoinPayments.net ever since we started taking Alts back in March.

We strive to keep in Stock, Ready for *Immediate Download, the Following Game Codes.

XBOX - GameStop - PlayStation - Steam - GooglePlay - WOW Time - MineCraft - FaceBook

    We also have: Amazon - Music - Coffee - PIZZA - Phone Cards/PINS & More.

*Immediate Download of Codes when paying in BitCoin. (except phone cards)
AltCoin Payments, like MazaCoin or LiteCoin, require a few Confirmations before Download becomes Available.

Previously known as iTradeBTC.com, I sold my first Pizza Code Online in Sept 2012 and have grown ever since.
I decided on the name change after starting to take some AltCoins.
I also decided to keep the number of altcoins limited to about a dozen or so.

Thanks for your support. And maybe a link under the merchant section would be nice (hint, hint - wink, wink)

Sure thing! Were always looking for merchants that accept MazaCoin ;)

Mazacoin 4 ever!

- Tomi

Looks great but I don't think the "azacoin" font goes with that M - JMHO

Thank you for your continuing good work and donations.


I tend to agree with you... I would even go as far as to make the "Mazacoin accepted here" label as much as possible similar to the "bitcoin accepted here" labels.
Simply new colors and new logo, ... or probably only a new logo

https://i.imgur.com/lxR38x4.png

I think that would be important so that mazacoin could integrate into already existing label walls.

Hi everyone,

Ok, I will also make more traditional version of the "accepted here" text, we can all together think what will the best. Guruvan has also a team of graphical artists so we can pick the best qualities from every design.

Tomorrow (friday) I am attending an alt coin happening here at Helsinki (Assembly 2014) and promote mzc there + ask about the Hive wallet status.

mzc4ever!

- Tomi

Awesome news about you in Helsinki. Please make fotos, we desperately need fotos showing mazacoin live in action.

Just 2 days ago I announced that I was taking MazaCoin at cryfter.com

Im sorry to say that CoinPayments.net has stopped supporting MazaCoin just today or yesterday, without any announcement.
I know it was working 3 days ago because I tested it.

I believe it is critical to the survival of any coin that merchants are able to accept it.

You can contact CoinPayments.net support and tell them you disagree with this decision and would like to see MZC accepted again.
(Maybe they noticed the old thread being dead)

If these guys can accept/support coins like InfinateCoin and earthCoin, then I see no reason why MZC was de-listed.

https://www.coinpayments.net/home

EDIT: I have contacted CoinPayments this morning with the following: http://bitbin.it/FPy3DDCw

I'll contact coinpayments ASAP. Thanks for letting us know Glooboy :)

I'll point out that not only have we released new client apps, with more on the way, but we've spoken with bittrex among others who have let us know maza is in danger of being delisted, and have been added to more exchanges, just this week. Bittrex has said that the continued interest, the fact they've been in communication with owlhooter will keep us on the board for now.

Low volume at the bottom of a market cycle isn't really a good reason to delist a coin IMO....I'd like to spend my mazacoins, but it's pretty hard to do it at these prices. You can bet, though, that as soon as I can I'll be using mazacoin for cash. Maza Means Money! ;)

It's great to see this team busting ass on dev work, graphics, and marketing. I hear great things in the works from Payu, rumblings of upcoming media attention.

If anyone would like to earn some mazacoins - we have some work to do. MZC price is pretty low, but CSS/HTML skills are in short supply - if you're willing to speculate on the future of MZC with us, we need you! (we'd like to make sure mazacoin.org has an update before the media comes back!!)

Nice work guruvan.

Also, MazaCoin has been added to the lazycoins.com exchange!

MazaCoin folks,

We met with Tomi in Helsinki. Please pop over to our chat room on Skype to discuss more about possible integrations:

https://twitter.com/hivewallet/status/491585675838242819

I made a withdrawal from Cryptsy to - MRsZCp2E1VhyY7LZzUuhjhQKh2LmMjva8E - and it doesn't seemed to have worked - 710ad0794830f206d5212d5feedb14143bb632b56acc6fdeaba650457df9696b - any ideas anyone?

It's showing in the block explorer, make sure you have the most recent version of the wallet. 9.0.1.

Have had some very productive conversations with Payu and the rest of the Mazacoin team this week!

Great things are happening. There are upcoming mainstream press pieces to watch for (more as we know release dates!), and much progress is being made with tribe members, and the Tribal Council members.

There is a ton of dev work ongoing! If you have CSS/HTML skills, javascript, nodejs & mongoDB. python or php skills, please let us know! We could use all the help we can get. Mazacoin.org web redesign is ongoing, but could use that real professional touch.

I'll be helping Payu more and more in the coming weeks, especially helping to communicate to you our work with the Lakota, and other tribes, as we expand Mazacoin. I'll provide a weekly report with development news, tribal negotiations, and other mazacoin-related business developments. Please let me know what mazacoin projects you're working on, and we'll add those into the reports.

Finally, I will be setting up some multisig payment addresses for donations for some gear for the dev team. We have a few machines (like ATM machines that we need to purchase, and modify for mazacoin. We would like to be able to visit tribal leaders, chambers of commerce and gaming directors with the various equipment they need to run their businesses, in our hands, working for demonstrations. I will set these up as 3 of 5 signature addresses, with Payu, owlhooter, and myself as signatories.

 

just taking a look.

Cheers!!

Tell me what u think

Well done guruvan! This will help give the project more transparency and keep people up to date


As always, great work Tomi.  Could you cut them into 2 separate images and turn the corners transparent?

Really nice. I think that's the way to go. Unique style yet not intrusive. Good work!


Excellent idea.

Great job Tomi- Way to go.

Great coin if you want to throw money into toilet.  ;D

Thanks guys (not you SkyValeey)

I will provide full resolution png images for downloading tomorrow with transparent background. Happy to hear u all liked the design. We could sometime this or next week order the stickers (maza accepted here).

Again, thanks for your good work... You really seem to get a hang of this. Always looks better and better, never worse. That's the sign of a true artist.
Keep up the good work!


And you, SkyValeey, keep checking the toilets for spare money, you belong there.

just a simple new logo / but you know what ?
it is enough to restore my faith in MZC

now time for a real but slow distro to the Lakota

turtle pace, doesn't bother me, but get Youtube vids of the Lakota building a MZC local economy

say a 6month video project, premiere's on YT around the holidays 2015

Hi everybody, from these links u can get the "Maza Accepted Here" signs(full resolution) ->

ps. Guruvan, I will be at your service when u build our new site (graphics)

pps. Welcome to the thread BitcoinNational!

I like the orange one.. it reminds me of a sunset.

I know I mentioned this on the weekly report, but not here directly - Coinpayments.net has fixed this situation. They did not update with the fork, and have since done so. They should be accepting maza. We will be sure not to allow this to happen in the future.

Work is happening on the mazacoin.org website. We have a a dev server installed and are installing webservers and WordPress on it today.

Let the dev team, or me directly, know if you'd like to contribute to the website.

Subreddit is also undergoing some changes. Please, stop by there and let us know what you think! http://reddit.com/r/mazacoin

Good luck !

Thank you! and thank you for the retweets! Every little bit helps :)

Wendell Davis and Gavin Wood were here at Helsinki on high of summer 2O14 - the crypto community holds together like a one large tribe. There was a lot of symbolic elements in the moment these pictures were taken. Volunteer forces are united to blow flames into the altcoin fire (+ cryptocurrencies are fuel for monetary freedom).

It's Tuesday again and time for a report!

Mazacoin Weekly Report for August 19, 2014 is available here.  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=725479.msg8436167#msg8436167)

Please post this in your favorite subreddits and to your followers on Facebook and Twitter! Let's get the word out that the Mazacoin Team is working hard to bring in a new wave of prosperity!

Mazacoin supporters and developers, I just wanted to let you know that you're doing a wonderful job developing and promoting Mazacoin. Mazacoin is a currency that deserves the wings it has grown, and I hope to see it soar to levels unimaginable. This is the only alt-currency worth backing. It's completely unique, and offers a new wave of opportunity to a nation of people and their economy. It's truly revolutionary. I see it right next to Bitcoin, and I see it staying there for the future. Thank you for your hard work and effort. Mazacoin is a go, and it is the next big thing.

Thanks for your kind words!

You're welcome.

It's going to happen, man. This bird is going to soar. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. This bird will fly, and it deserves to. I feel very grateful to be apart of it.

Great work on the graphics, also. They are qualified. It's very good work.

I had to let you guys know. What I'm seeing is awesome. I look forward to Mazacoin's success.

Thanks, please visit our reddit too, and take part in the conversations:

My apologies if I've overlooked a relevant post, but are the Lakota mining this coin or just crypto-enthusiasts ?

This isn't quite as simple an issue as one might think. There are 2 questions here. 1) Is the Oglala Lakota Nation mining mazacoin. No. 2) Are any of the Oglala themselves mining. Unfortunately, again, no. But let's take a look at the real reasons.

For any type of government to become directly involved in the daily creation and distribution of a currency, there are many issues that need to be addressed. Legislation needs to be drafted, laws need to be enacted, and regulations need to be put into place. As you can imagine, this is no small task. The Mazacoin Development Team is in the process of building a legal team that will assist in all these matters. As we progress, we will see what the direct involvement of the Oglala Lakota Nation is with mazacoin.

We have to ask....what should that direct involvement be? How much do you want to see the direct involvement of any government in bitcoin? We feel the matter must be approached carefully to avoid outcomes like the one we may see developing in The State of New York.

We think it's much better if a cryptocurrency that is truly intended to effect change is a decentralized service provided by the community, and not one that is under any sort of control by a government. We do intend to form a council in such a way that tribal governments, who will become stakeholders, have some voice in the mazacoin, but they cannot be the only voice, or we will perpetuate and move problems that exist today.

Now, that brings us to the more important question (IMO). Are there any Oglala mining themselves. As of right now, unfortunately that answer is no again. This is primarily a function of money. Mining is not a poor man's game. Most of the Oglala are poor, and it's not an option for them to run out, buy some bitcoin, risk it on pre-ordered asics, and maybe be able to mine mazacoin. Even if this were possible, mining mazacoin is an investment in the future.

But, this does bring us to one of the important design considerations in mazacoin. Maza is a sha256 coin, and as such, it's design it to help older mining gear find new, profitable homes as it becomes to small to mine bitcoin in a meaningful way. We're starting to see the first generation of sha256 asics become much less profitable now. My own team is likely to repurpose our own 55nm gear as home heating units. We believe there are ways that we can use this shift in the mining market to put more gear on the reservations. Of course, this will take time to secure gear, and put distribution in place. We want to ensure that this is not any kind of a handout, but provides real skill building opportunities. The mazacoin development team is committed to putting mazacoin into the hands and control of the people it serves.

We also need to consider, in the specific case of the Oglala Lakota, reservations are often large, remote, and under-served by public utilities. Telecommunications and power can be less than ideal in many homes and businesses, and this definitely increases the challenges we see in bringing mining, and cryptocurrency in general, to the average reservation. Again, the Mazacoin Development Team is committed to finding solutions that bring cryptocurrency within the reach of even the most remote villages. We believe this is necessary even the the proper adoption of bitcoin, worldwide, and we intend to be leaders in making crypto serve every tribe. This is what is needed to make real change happen in this world. While mazacoin was created with the Oglala Lakota as our first Tribal Partner, we do not intend to stop there. We intend to make mazacoin the currency that supports bootstrapping a new inter-tribal economy.

We are committed to doing everything necessary to make this happen.

Does anyone hold the actual wallet to the pre-mined coins? When will they be distributed to the Lakota Nation?

After Anonymous Pirate left the development team, some of the premined coins were moved. We have accounted for a majority of this amount, and hold the wallets with these coins. There seems to be some confusion who much was actually premined and exactly which addresses it went to. It appears that there are some premined coins that are not accounted for as yet. Since this process is not yet complete, we have not released a full statement yet. Currently Payu, owlhooter, and I are in control of a minimum of 30,000,000 of these premined coins, which definitely represents the majority of the original amount, whatever this amount actually was. It is unknown at this time if Anonymous Pirate retains any keys to amounts we do not have in control. It does not appear that any amount of the premine has made its way to and through an exchange, thus, it appears to be intact. 

We are in the process of establishing a legal Foundation and Trust from which to distribute these premined coins. At this time, given the current MZC/BTC market, and lack of convenient MZC/USD markets, we feel it would be inappropriate to distribute these coins in the immediate future. Given past history of settlements, lump sum gifts, and per capita payments in so many tribes, we would like to ensure that this distribution provides more than just a single month's expenses to recipients. We would like to see, instead, mazacoin distributions be used to build an economic base that provides real opportunities to prosper.

We also note that there have been some potentially conflicting statements made in the past regarding the nature of the distribution of the premine: how much to go to people, businesses, and whether it would all go just to the Oglala Lakota Nation. Because of the nature of people, politicians, and governments when faced with financial windfalls, we feel that it's in everyone's best interest to have a properly established Trust, and not begin any sort of distribution until that time. Again, we also feel that because the market price of MZC is currently so low, we should take the time necessary to put the Trust in place, and allow our legal team to assist us in the proper distribution of the coin.

Once we have accounted for all of the premined coins, we will move the entire amounts to multisig. addresses under control of the Trust that is to be created. Once this is complete, we can begin to consider the proper distribution of the coins in a way that will usher in a new era of prosperity through proof of work, and start to end the cycle of poverty through welfare.

Glad to hear that most of them are intact. Why not move them to a wallet to prevent whomever has the private key get a hold of them and move them again when you get the rest of them? It will also be beneficial to have the addresses on OP. Do we have a richlist somewhere?

because moving such large amounts of coins and storing them in one place is very risky.
its better that they get the legal trust and multisig sorted out first before moving any of the coins.

At this time, no accounted funds appear to be in any jeopardy of being moved without the approval of myself, owlhooter, and Payu. As such,to avoid additional confusion we will move them when we have finished this process. We will finish this process and publish our findings, addresses, and other information as needed, soon. Again, we'd rather not add any confusion to the issue by providing information which is later discovered to be incorrect.

Is there a rich list anywhere?

The dev team doesn't publish a rich list anywhere. Mazacha.in, a product of my own organization, also does not publish such a list.

Mazacoin is here to help close the gap between rich and poor, so it feels inappropriate to spend our energy on finding out who fits into those categories. The data is available to all in the mazachain, and we encourage mazacoin holders and supporters, and related businesses to data-mine the mazachain to find the transactions and addresses that interest them.

I am a longtime supporter of Mazacoin and I want to see more of the indigenous peoples around the world take direct action to lift themselves out of poverty.
I have been collecting theses coins for many months and I do not care if I don't get rich from it.. Just as long as I see it improve the lives of the lakota peoples.

with that being said.. the above statement seems to have been not very well thought out.

I have a generation 1 Butterfly labs ASIC miner.. it still works fine, I did mine MZC for a short time but currently I do not use it for mining because it simply isn't profitable anymore.. not even to mine smaller coins like MZC.

The idea of using old ASICs as space heaters seems like a great one and I tried to use mine to heat up my room this winter... the problem was that it creates way too much noise for it to be practical.

so the reality faced by the idea of using gen1 (or 2) ASICs as space heaters is:

A) the ROI is virtually non existent. you are unlikely to ever get your money back from mining Sha256 even if you buy cheap secondhand asics. so it is more economical just buy the coins outright.

B) asic draw too much electricity and create too much noise for them to be a practical means of heating up a room/small house.


I think that if Mazacoin remains sha256 it will always be vulnerable to multipool and 51% abuses.. much more so than coins of a similar size that are not sha256 based.

I'm not sure you've thought about the costs and noise associated with cheap space heaters.

When I compare the amount of heat generated by an antminer S1, drawing under 500W, and the about provided by a quiet alternative, an oil radiator, at 1500W....A great many of the space heaters you'll see used in economically disadvantaged homes are ancient radiant heaters that consume 1500W constantly, and are loud as hell. The miner puts out many many more BTUs per hr per watt. I do not have the specific data, but I can assure you it takes less wattage to heat our homes.  

If you consider the amount of $ spent to heat the home, you'll see that the mining gear need not be "profitable" to achieve a net gain for all the parties involved. It only needs to come to a near break-even point to be successful in my own eyes. If you're trying to achieve ROI in a space heater, I believe that you're not trying to solve the correct problem. Remember, you're a miner trying to make a profit mining.

the problem to solve, truly is to heat a home in a financially more efficient way. If there's a reduction of the home users' power bill because the miner recoups some of the cost of generating heat by generating coin, is that not the actual ROI?

Finally, you must also consider, this is but one method of repurposing older gear. There are many more that I'm currently aware of. We are not limited to single ideas on how to improve the network while improving people's lives. Nor are we limited by the short-sightedness of unrealistic expectations of instantaneous ROI that is so prevalent in the cryptomarketplace. Instant ROI simply isn't real in the long term, and is currently a function of novelty and adoption rate. The idea that you can buy miners today, and profit tomorrow is fading quickly. Please note the endless series of scams, scamcoins, and so on that point to frustration with the length of time that it takes to achieve ROI mining. In most businesses it takes 2-3yrs to start realizing a profit. Miners expect a profit in 60days. This is not sustainable.

As for "51% abuses" - in reality one need not have 51% of a network to attack it. In practice, the primary "attack" performed against most blockchains is one that even bitcoin is still susceptible to, and that is "selfish mining" - there are various ideas on how to solve that problem, and the Mazacoin Development Team is actively working on the issue. Selfish mining only needs 25% of the network to be effective, and we see this in bitcoin everyday.

It's my opinion that the majority of algorithms in use today have the same issues as sha256. Each has grown, CPU-only coins are GPU, with FPGAs on the way, and soon to follow will be asics for the most profitable algorithms. Certainly mazacoin will need to grow and adapt, but there is not a reason to change the sha256 algorithm to deter attackers, or selfish miners - these problems are present in each algorithm, and each PoW scheme devised at this time. Multi-algorithms simply increase the challenge to would be attackers and selfish miners, but don't solve the fundamental issues.

I certainly have considered all of this.

ill give you some basic examples to add some light to my previous statements.


say for example that you buy a cheap off the shelf miner for a few hundred dollars.
at current difficulty and prices you will likely earn less than 1$ worth of MZC a day for running it 24 hours a day.
your cost in electricity is likely to be a couple of dollars.
this means that currently, older generation miners have a negative ROI..
ie. the coins cost more to produce in electricity than they are currently worth.

this problem only gets worse over time so by the next cold season the very same mining hardware will be able to produce much less MZC (only a few cents worth)

so you can compare an asic unit which may cost a few hundred dollars to a convection heater which can cost less than $100 and it is easy to see that the convection heater is the more economically sound decision.

lets not forget that of all the energy sources (fire, solar thermal, electricity, gas) electricity is the LEAST efficient way to heat a home.
 

now as for 51% attacks, multi-pool raids etc.. I don't think you understand that it is much cheaper to hire enough hashing power to attack a sha256 coin that isn't bitcoin than it is to attack say scrypt or X11 coin. so yes you can claim that all small coins are susceptible to attack and but coins that have a flood of cheap ASICs on the market are much easier and cheaper to attack. thus Sha256 is much easier to attack than Scrypt and Scrypt is much easier to attack than X11 simply because the hardware required is much cheaper to hire or purchase. Not only that, but given the relative size of Bitcoin vs MZC it is by far much easer to redirect a mining pool with enough hash to crush small sha256 coin than it is to do so against any other algo. This is why there are no new Sha256 coins being released these days and it is also why most scrypt coins that were released recently are suffering badly.

these are just the simple facts of the market place as it stands today.. so please don't say that algorithm has nothing to do with it.. it only demonstrates that you do not understand how such attacks are carried out.

the one thing I would agree with you about is that switching algo is just kicking the can down the road. it is just pushing the problem away for a year or two at best but at least it gives you some breathing room to grow a coin before it becomes an easy target.

right now MZC is a very easy target...  for me 51% attacks are nothing more than a way to frighten children who do not understand what can can't cant be done with a 51% attack.. but they are enough to do damage to a coins reputation and price such that it becomes harder to use the coins held in a trust for development work. so the threat of attacks of any kind should be taken seriously....

I think you are right though the focus should be more on establishing the trust, the legal framework and securing those premined coins. I was just pointing out that at some point in the not too distant future network security will become the big issue of the day.

I'd also like to add that although the Oglala may not be mining Mazacoins themselves, ShastaFarEye has dedicated a portion of our mining hardware towards the task.  To date, we've mined around a half million Mazacoins to a Tribal Trust address that owlhooter provided, with more mined every hour.  When the legal framework is put into place, these coins will be added to the trust that is created.

If you're mining Mazacoins, we encourage you to come mine at prospectors.shastafareye.net to help support this effort.  

They may not be mining, but there are some Oglala investors who have been buying mazacoin, they aren't all poor.   With the new block rewards, the price is fairly stable even with a low amount of trades on the exchanges.  However, it is still a long term investment as it will take quite a while for the development team to implement its proposals.  This is something new so its success is not guaranteed.  keep this in mind should you choose to purchase mazacoin.  Also, I'm sure guruvan would appreciate any assistance that would speed up this process.

did this get revived or something?

Free Mazacoins!!

Head over to mazacoin.altcoinfaucet.net to get your free Mazacoins! Stop by daily to get moar maza.  I've funded the faucet with 50k MZC, so feel free to pour yourself a cup every day. 

Revived is an interesting word. It implies that mazacoin was dead at some point. No. But, the Team needed to transition from Anonymous Pirate leading it to the current team you see, and the Tribes (in particular the Oglala) needed some time to absorb and comprehend more about mazacoin before Mazacoin receives more mainstream press so that they're more able to handle the amount of energy coming at them from the crypto-sphere.

We now feel freer to pour some more fuel on the fire, and see what mazacoin is really capable of doing :)

Thanks Raek!

It does take a long time to coordinate and implement every aspect of what will make mazacoin successful. traders often feel (much like miners) that crypto is "instant-in-and-win" - somehow magically just producing 10X returns on gambles.

And, of course, not every Oglala is poor. Just like not every Californian is rich. In every group, we have rich, poor, and more. In even the most oppressed and disadvantaged groups we find people who find ways to break out of the cycles around them, and succeed, despite the odds being stacked against them. Our team needs to find more ways to reach these people and help them build on their success with mazacoin. This is what takes the most time - finding and reaching the people! (it's what's taken the most time in developing bitcoin)

The Mazacoin project is getting much more notice in the world than is evident here on Bitcontalk. While crypto-traders are easily shepherded from one coin to another, and leave coins to "die" - the rest of the world doesn't notice all of the new coins-of-the-day. They notice the coins that are making a difference. Mazacoin is recognized as THE leader in bringing indigenous people and cryptocurrencies together, and we're spending more time fielding questions from media, other coin projects, and other indigenous groups around the world, every day.

It takes much more than just the Development Team to make all this happen. It takes the entire mazatribe to work together. How can each of you help?

Weekly Report posted for the mazatribe!

And...A highlight: Mazacoin and Payu Harris are the subjects of upcoming documentary from Bianca Consunji and Evan Engel of Mashable.com!! Preview was held in NYC this past Monday evening, and we're expecting it to be out by October sometime!

well stated!

The community should help.

New website due to roll out today!! Also, dev team is more present on IRC - come join us in #mazacoin or join the development discussion in #mazacoin-dev

Team was super busy this past week, so we've been pretty quiet and working hard. Just about time to make a bunch more noise. Don't let the low prices go to waste this week!

The new website is a huge improvement.  Congrats!
https://mazacoin.org/

is there and android wallet for mzc?

Yes there is. The download link is in the OP

Maza Means Money!  Who needs a money tree when there's a Mazacoin faucet...  pouring out free money for all.  The mazacoin faucet at mazacoin.altcoinfaucet.net has seen a lot of activity since the great folks at Altcoinfaucet.net set it up.  The cup was only half full, so I just topped it off with another 25k Mazacoins to keep things flowing.  Be sure to stop by and get some free coins (don't forget to look at the other faucets, either!).   

Soooo, when will there be a casino/sportsbook built-in to the MZC wallet?

Am i the only one who thinks this a good idea?

And if not have these directly in the wallet, why not build a website with these, owned and managed by the Lakota? Surely there are some budding Lakota devs out there that could make this happen.

I'm willing to donate half of whatever I mine (which aint much, lol) to the Lakota wallet if we could make this happen.

Obviously i know there is still much work to be done regarding the whereabouts of the massive premine and blah blah, but there are still many coins to be mined and seems like there is enough miner interest to keep MZC alive.

Cheers,
Pit

Hey Pit, it's a great idea, but not something the Dev Team is going to pursue directly. This is not something that will be in the mazacoin-qt wallet. It would be a questionable legality in many jurisdictions, and it's a commercial enterprise. Development of mazacoin is a collaboration between private enterprise, public groups, and individuals. It would be inappropriate for the Dev Team to compete with other stakeholders.

Our job is to provide /reference code/ to make a functional working network. It's someone else's job to use that network to provide sports and casino betting applications that run on that network.

Rather than donating half of what ever, get up yourself, and make it happen. Nothing comes to us if we sit and wait for others to do it for us.

Sitting and waiting for others to do it is as much a problem in the cryptomarket as it is on the rez. Lots of crypto-traders are of a mind that since they're early adopters, they deserve to be able to throw money at a monitor and receive 10X back in a month. The world doesn't go around with people telling others what would be cool. The world makes progress by people getting up and working.

============================
Thanks for the congrats on the website!  It's a major improvement, but we still need to make it really shine! If you'd like to contribute as a writer, or would like to help us make other improvements to the site, please get in touch!

============================

Finally - we're running a little late on a weekly report for you this week, because we've been pushing out some code. We're in process with the Google Play Store to get the Android app up there, and we'll have that on Github this week.

We also have for you "mazacore" - the Dev Team, primarily Kefkius, has ported Bitpay's Bitcore library to mazacoin. With this, you can launch your own Insight block explorer, or make a version of CoPay Multisig wallet for MZC for your site!

More in an upcoming report for y'all!

Hold ur shields high brothers

I have found us very skilfull jewelry artist who can forge us the physical coin. Here is the link to her company http://www.lowenmark.fi I have bought maza coin on regular basis and raised my stack, one day they will be more valuable than the US dollar. Sometimes when times are hard one just have to close his/her eyes and see destination with the "the inner eyes". I know the spirit world is on our side and we will prevail, big changes take longer time than small ones. The mzc intro animation is ready, I will publish it this week. MZC4 ever brothers/sisters.

Löwenmark - the company that makes physical coins has a designer that will help me with the silver(or other metal) coin. I will inform about the process we will make. Mean while u can comment on this promotional video I have made - it tells our story - the ones who stood our ground

1.  BCT is  a charity coin ... bit dusty right now but happy to work with all ethical coins

2.  Is maza moving towards a market platform for native art/artisans ?  Seems too be?  GREAT IDEA

3.  Is there any formal write up on the disto to the Lakota?  How it is happening? 

do you have info on the charity coin you refer to, BCT ? 

I'm coming up relatively short:  http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bct-coin/

BitcoinTalkCoin is nothing more than a scam IPO/ airdrop. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570750.0



I have tagged three users with this negative rep. Looks like we have room for one more ! lol

I agree with HippieTech.  The dev of BCT is non-responsive.  With him the keys to the charity allotment.  I can not in good faith endorse BCT as legitimate until this serious issue is addressed and resolved.

I am still very interested in working with charity coins.  Please PM me any discussion thread.
edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=791247.msg8914146#msg8914146  << charity coin thread


Sidenote BCC is not BCT ... this is like bashing MAZA because NAVAJO is a shitcoin.  But that's just hippie :) he h8tes on everything, HT your passion is in the right place brother but your facts are incorrect an Apple does not equal an Orange.


-sorry for this disruption-

Can this thread return to the topic of Maza?

My bad.. I forgot that there were two forum scamcoins... and you're pushing both of them.

Now excuse me while I flip my tortilla. :P

very good, I like that a lot

I never gave up on the dream of Mazacoin, I admit I haven't paid attention or interacted with the community as I would have liked for a few months but I've returned and bought millions of them dirt cheap, I still have faith Payu will accomplish his dream after seeing the Mashable story. How many developers can you say still tirelessly work months on end after their coin has been called a scam and has dropped in price to almost nothing?

Happy new year, Mazacoin.

I think I am going to mine a few mazacoins the next few weeks.

Should be fun!

I just installed MazaCoin wallet v0.9.0.1 and it won't sync. Not finding any nodes. Anybody have a .conf file that works or list of valid nodes?  Thanks.

Just let it run for a few hours, it will sync eventually.
(this happens to me from time to time, and this is ALWAYS the solution)

Also, if you have multiple wallets (other coins) open, it might help if you close all the others.

My current connections, Try to addnode the following....

"addr" : "47.17.84.135:12835",
"addr" : "108.61.10.90:12835",
"addr" : "69.59.214.109:12835",
"addr" : "162.243.96.166:12835",
"addr" : "82.226.151.241:12835",
"addr" : "69.146.98.216:12835",
"addr" : "104.236.44.39:12835",
"addr" : "37.187.155.143:12835",

Syncing up fine now, thanks for the help.

hello Mazacoin community!

An idea for you to discuss:
How about implementing auxpow for merged mining with unobtanium into mazacoin for better profit for the miners and stronger networks of both coins?


We are currently discussing various merged mining solution at the uno-thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527500.0)
In case Maza wants to implement auxpow and merge into the uno-network i believe it could be done and would likely benefit both coins as both coins' security would rise.
Looking forward to your comments. You can also say hi at the uno thread if you want.

best Regards  :)

Interesting proposal... Now we need to see what will dev say...

merge mining would be awesome.

need a current link and working android wallet for this folks, why can't payu dropbox it

Does this coin have anything to do with MLS?  ???

The name of this coin is very impressive , I took some Maza because of its name. Great coin with nice features.

It will be even more impressive if it finally gets legal backing in the coming weeks.

Ah! Found the current thread.

Merged-mining: do come and offer your thoughts:

So is MazaCoin coming back?

*National Currency* is a strong message, and it would be nice if we can help each other maintain a strong SHA256 network.  As for now we are trying to find solutions that do not require joining the btc network because that rewards all the reward to "them" verses the independent miner class. 

Maza, Zeta, and Uno could possible form the core of a merged network that provides sufficient network strength.  Feel free to post your thoughts on the Uno thread and here too.

Also give us a 'wink' when 'someone' might appear standing next to the tribal president going 'told ya.'

Thanks I was looking on the play store, I just had to tick off 'Unknown sources' in the security settings in Android to install. Bought about 30K Maza and sent to tablet from cryptsy, recieved within a few minutes (while Quark and Zetacoin are both unable to do this ATM), well done Mazacoin!

Yep Maza is very fast, if it gets tribal backing I see no reason why it shouldn't be the silver to BTC gold that Litecoin claimed to be.

Agree, agree and agree! Like politicians like to say we need 5 crucial things: work, work, work, work and work  ;)

That type of thing is only possible by backing the coin.

If the Lakota Nation backs maza, example redeemable for land lease payments, then MZC is the silver.

There must be an organization that unities major MZC holders with elements of the tribal council.   

Nice to see Mazacoin finding GOOD support @ 0.00000050 on the Cryptsy daily chart :-)

I think Mazacoin will be the dark horse (mustang) for 2015!

@CoinsLookingUp

Great points raised above. That's why I think Mazacoin is such a dark horse for 2015 - it could remain dark or it could bolt for freedom! Such great potential - shame if it was wasted.
