new p2pool for Marscoin:

for instance:
 minerd -o http://mars.pool.angeldsis.com:1235 -u anyuser -p anypass

(you want to set the username to a marscoin address)

I am working to get Marscoin on:

    and openex.pw
   
other suggestions & support welcome.

I see if I can reach out to him. He is usually very responsive but in a European timezone. Hang on :-)

Yes, that's the older wallet version on windows... MRC was launched a little earlier and so they decided to launch as MRS (which makes more sense anyways)... The latest mac and linux wallets show the right abbreviation.

acording to the logs on my end, the network is producing blocks about 3% too fast, and it does appear to have changed the difficulty slightly to match (thanks cleverca22 for pointing out)

LOL, yes: Eventually Mars colonists will overtake Earth anyways - they are closer to the Asteroid belt and can 3d metal-print giant scrypt-ASICS. Puny Earth network will shake in fear :-) The first interplanetary war will be about hashing power, 

Pushing hard...all help welcome!

We spoke to cryptsy CEO Paul Vernon at BTCMiami. Guess what, he is a MarsOne fan and liked the idea. Said they look at hashrate, community engagement, general idea of the coin before they list it. Just have to keep growing Marscoin in popularity and cryptsy will list.

It is not "desired" - it would only be necessary in the unlikely event of a massive attack from Earth. Something we could discuss for the next 10 years to figure out. How to best address.

Psychology: "Oh no, all Marscoin will be gone by the time they leave". Vs. "Oh, they have 100 Mio. Marscoins of which only 30 Mio are mined on Earth, who cares, my grandchildren can mine on Mars".

Welcome suggestions how you would implement such a system, initially, when Mars mining server are week and hashrate on Earth is high. So far Marscoin is completely decentral and if we can keep it that way, the better. Check out http://mars-project.com for discussions on this topic and/or the Marscoin IRC channel.

Similar to a timestamping server here on Earth (or yes, even an ICANN like construct, but that is centralization, indeed). It will be in the Mars colonists' economic best self-interest to install server(s) that issue a list of timestamp marked credentials - which could be incorporated in each block to verify the mining occurred on Mars.

Yes it does: the 300k (now 400k) of premined Marscoins are worth nothing at this point (well, on reddit they go for 10-80cents right now). If the incentive is strong enough, more and more fiat currencies will be exchanged for Marscoin driving up the price for Marscoins. That alone will make the initial premining worthwhile and allow MarsOne to actually make use of it. Maybe I should have said "allows to fund activities and make purchases in fiat related to the actual mission roadmap" instead of "raise money".

See the above answer regarding the credentials incorporated into each block by a (network) of security servers that could form the backbone of a Martian internet.

Let me know what needs to be done, in your opinion, to convince you of Marscoin? Curious!

It will make it harder as it adds a much higher burden on a co-ordinated attack from Earth. Yes, they will have more hashing power, but to advance such a large blockchain in such a short time frame it will need a concerted effort from Earth to do that. On top of that, if the Marscoin network adds a timestamping or other security measures that are local to Mars an attack from Earth is impossible due to the distance.

Terracoin's solution to its problems was adopting a 540 retarget. They are by far not the only Litecoin blockchains with a similar retargeting interval. Check out the discussions here: https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/issues/14


Depends. The idea is to raise the money NOW to actually help make the Mars mission a reality. Thus you increase the incentive for people to get into the currency before the blockchain leaves. Once on Mars, the Marscolonists have better things to do than to put their servers on a mining armsrace - Marscoin on Mars will then mainly become a transaction network. If need be, the minimal mining that will continue could be monopolized by MarsOne or whoever runs the base to pay early Mars settlers to incentivise the growth of the colony.

Appreciate your thoughts and input!!

  Genau! Allerdings werden andere genau dieselbe Idee haben, ebenfalls minen, und - wie bei Bitcoin - fuehrt das dann zu einem ausgewogenen Netzwerk. Allerdings koennen die ersten Miner dann eventuell die Prioritaeten der jungen Marskolonie bestimmen: Sollen wir einen Thorium Reaktor bauen, oder lieber mehr Solarfarmen aufbauen?

The devs are pretty active on IRC @freenode #MRS and #Marscoin, they would probably love to hear from you. It's an international team, I am pretty sure they might be interested in feedback/help.
The faster blocks make sense though if you want to protect yourself from Earth miners (see discussion in their forum under "Evil Earth Miner Scenario". The retargeting is similar to 540 block coins, like Terracoin.

Regarding the coin supply: it aligns with the departure of the Marscoin blockchain to Mars:

2014 50 coins
2016 25 coins
2018 12 coins
2020 6   coins
2022 3   coins
2024 1   coin

Es wird ja keinen Abgleich geben koennen - das ist ja gerade der Grund wieso Mars eine eigene Blockchain braucht. Mars ist zu weit entfernt, um im Bitcoin Netzwerk zu funktionieren. In 2024 wird die Marscoin blockchain auf einen USB stick geladen und auf den Mars gebracht. Von da an koennte Marscoin dann "das Bitcoin des Mars" sein, als erste Cryptocurrency des roten Planeten.

Zwischen Marscoin und Bitcoin wird es sicher exchanges geben, eventuell eine super langsame "Interplanetary Coin" mit Block confirmations von mehreren Stunden. Wenn man zwischen Mars und Erde reist, parkt man sein Geld vor Abflug in so eine langsame Blockchain und tauscht es dann lokal um.
