MARS - Marscoin
The Bitcoin for Mars
"...Marscoin proposes a public funding model for space colonization based on a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network, built on the Bitcoin code. It tackles the largely unsolved funding hurdles for mankind's space exploration efforts by establishing a global, supra-national, voluntary currency that attempts to bootstrap future Mars colonies, incentivizing adoption of the digital currency as a stake in the colonies' future economy. Individuals that invest into this "joint-stock" colony funding model elevate the exchange rate of the currency, in effect providing the early stakeholders with the funding necessary for the construction of the future base.
A copy of Marscoin, which is in essence a cryptographically secured public ledger, can then be transferred to the new colony, where it becomes the backbone of the future settlement's financial system. This proposed physical transfer of all the investments made by the early adopters of Marscoin thus not only funds the new colony ahead of time, but becomes the bedrock of the planet's growing economy. By virtue of its intrinsic algorithmic scarcity and immunity to inflation, any economic growth in the future colony will be reflected in the rising value of the currency on the new planet. As mission milestones are met, adoption rates are expected to accelerate and therefore increase the value of Marscoin. The net effect of this increasing value allows mission funding to become increasingly effective as the launch date nears.
This model creates a financial incentive for the early stakeholders to achieve progress quickly and efficiently, and for an engaged and directly involved public. Marscoin is a proof-of-concept exploring financially viable private methods in dramatically lowering the threshold for funding colonies beyond planet Earth. It directly involves the general public in space exploration as it offers tangible ownership of the project with possible future financial benefits..."

Just an FYI about the Mines of Mars pool ( http://pool.marscoin.org/), they have really fucked up the processing of blocks and accounts were not being credited for most of the day. The pool hashrate has gone way down as most have already left, but just a heads up in case you were considering mining there. I would only consider mining there if/when we get confirmation the problem has been fixed. With the diff where it's at right now anyway I would just mine solo. server is back up again. obviously the jump in hashing and #96 on coinmarketcap's front page had brought their pool server down. The server was running, displaying my hashrate, and finding blocks, but my account was not being credited. Account still has not been credited for all those blocks. Be careful of this pool. the payouts are running smoothly again. they are using mpos pool software which can run into inconsistencies when the database is under load: see https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/issues/1949 |

http://marscoin.org/"We donated 400,000 Marscoins to MarsOne, a non-profit that attempts to build the first colony on Mars." and "In addition, once the colony is set up MarsOne or a Mars colonist could take Marscoin to Mars and install it." when and where? any confirmation? http://www.mars-one.com/can't find Paper wallet will be handed over (by the developer team) to either MarsOne or Mars Society (as steward) at this year's Mars conference in Texas: http://www.marssociety.org/conventions/2014 |

oh well, I hope they get a return journey
I guess that all depends how high MRS is going to go. If the funding is right, MarsOne could start planning return missions  |
