[ANN] [POW] [MSR] Masari - simple, scalable, and secure cryptocurrency

[elGuilleAR]

Hi. Is this project active? why only a few pages after a month of announcement?

Is it too late to mine and invest on this coin? Is the dev still active?

Thank you.

Yes its very much active. The @developers can give you a better perspective.
Good luck!

Okay thank you. But the hashrate is already too high and blockchain is on 23,000 blocks.
The exchange it is listed is new? Isn't it risky to expose coins on small(unknown maybe) exchanges?

Im looking for roadmap. Is there a roadmap?

Im also looking for a roadmap. A timeline or work schedule where you can see punchlist of accomplishment.

That would be good for this coin. A very clear roadmap.

So many coins on cryptonote algorithm lately. Is this coin any different?

Its like mushroom. Other coins just dont have any plans at all

I hope this one is serious and be successful.

Also be listed on bigger exchange.

The coin it is already listed on an exchange. I know that it is not a big one but at least you can trade.
I think we should give them a try, aren't we?.
Personally speaking (I hope not to be wrong), I follow masari from the very begining and Dev always answered me when I was having some issue (building and testing a public masari pool). That is something good to say, since all others cryptonote devs, usually don't even interact (to be kind on my answer) on the thread.

Thaer,

Since Masari have most of what other currency have, block explorer, exchanges, pools, active developers etc..

Why dont you apply for listing at:

Whattomine. The thread is managed by fredeq
http://whattomine.com/contacts/new

https://coinmarketcap.com/

https://www.cryptocompare.com/

Listing on other coin promotion websites. I will update this list.

Thank you for this list!

I've contacted Whattomine and Cryptocompare support for initial communications. I need to provide a total supply page for Coinmarketcap (previously mentioned by @amasari on Slack), and will have to get that settled before submitting a request.

Thaer,

I think you should edit the title of the Announcement. "POW" is missing.
 

I've updated it accordingly, thanks!

The exchange is 2 years old, and although volume is low, it's a mature platform.

The higher the hashrate, the better! that is one of the main goals of being listed, in order to provide security to the network. If people are selling cheap because of the low volume, I would celebrate because those coins would then be in another wallet with a stronger hand!

I will be working on improving the landing page, so that it would have more concise information, a clear road-map, and announcements for the project.

Thank you for your comments, as they are helpful in improving Masari!

do you have a white paper? I'd like to take a look through it

One of the longer term goals for Masari will require a whitepaper that has yet to be drafted.

This coin is a fork of Monero's protocol, and the relevant publications have to do with CryptoNote and RingCT:
https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0005.pdf - Ring Confidential Transactions (transactions use RCT by default in Masari)
https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf - CryptoNote v2.0


Have fun, they're fascinating!

Thanks to the community, and a few A/B tests, we have a new logo! (you might need to clear your cache  )

I was mining other cryptonight coins and stumbled on this. It's good there's already an exchange albeit small.

I you continue developing this coin, this has some nice potential.

Keep it up guys!

Amazing job done so far!

Whoa.

No new post, no new discussion. The thread seems inactive which leaves very bad impression on the coin.

Hello there.

Hello there.

 

or it could be things are stable for now and people who have joined in are mining with no problems and things are going slow and steady ahead )))

Someone keeps making the hash rate and difficulty skyrocket.

This is just a guess, but I think they're exploiting the lag in Masari's re-target time.  If you make a huge spike of hash for a little bit, you will get blocks very fast because the difficulty won't rise right away.  Then, once it is risen, you pull your hash and let other people mine on high difficulty for very slow blocktimes, until diff comes back down.  Then you repeat.

We've considered reducing the difficulty window from 24 hours to 12 in the next protocol upgrade. If these persist, we can schedule a protocol upgrade sooner than originally planned and this should help mitigate the situation. We will also be looking at alternative difficulty calculations that can better handle these pumps.

A major priority for Masari is to have a consistent hash rate in the 10s of MH/s, which will protect against these kind of attacks. Having these problems means that the Masari's growing, and dealing with these issues is what will make the network stronger!

was miming this and riding the difficulty downtrend, then someone sent ridiculous amount of hashrate, I pulled my miner for now until difficulty is normal.

Hi dev, you might want to address this exploit issue as it can drive miners away. there was 26+ miners before now its down to 13.

Looks like dev dont know what he is doing. This shit will get palyed. If he no smart then this is shit worth nothing. Dev do the right thing and change change what is needed. Or you dont know a thing?
Make your coin stronger. Protect it from bad actors/players/shitters/hash-jumpers/space travellers.

Maybe you dont care because you already have the biggest coin collection.

I have released a mandatory upgrade version v0.1.2.0, containing a protocol upgrade that changes the difficulty algorithm to handle these flash miners.

https://github.com/masari-project/masari/releases/tag/v0.1.2.0
Linux binaries: https://github.com/masari-project/masari/releases/download/v0.1.2.0/masari-linux-x64-v0.1.2.0.tar.gz

Windows and Mac binaries will be available tomorrow, and this is released early with Linux binaries to protect the exchanges and the pools involved

Everybody please update ASAP, as this hard fork could be due much sooner with the flash mining at play!

Great job dev! That's quick

[daninimmer]

https://masari.superpools.net/ is now in version v0.1.2.0

Thanks for devs!
