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

[eatit007]

ASICs are a touchy subject, but we shouldn't be fighting over MSR's upcoming PoW change. The problem with CryptoNote ASICs is the centralization portion, not that it's an ASIC necessarily. In the current climate, this would mean that basically two companies (as of this writing) would dominate the hardware market for those kind of coins, and is a bad form of centralization with arguable defensible positions.

Monero's current thoughts regarding ASICs is in the long term to commit to a specific PoW that will be integrated in lets say 2 years time (while committing to PoW variants on each fork until then), which would give fair market competition to develop ASICs, and not cause centralized "secret" mining as what happened with Bitmain.
The Masari community is indifferent to this position, since it may be conceded that ASICs (or FPGAs at the very minimum) are inevitable and only measures are needed to ensure decentralization. However, we may diverge from this and include in our roadmap research on an entirely new ASIC/FPGA-resistant PoW if deemed necessary.

@Cryptomaxsun I've seen you comment and discuss on this forum since early days. Putting the ASIC flame war aside (which includes other people), I'm confused why you'd resort to throwing ad hominems at the community (falsely saying it's not intelligent) and misrepresenting the roadmap (since we have clear reachable goals in the horizon, publicly shown on the home page https://getmasari.org/ ).

Good discourse on here is promoted, and there is always good discourse happening at our Discord, which everybody is welcome to join (https://discord.gg/sMCwMqs ).

Thanks for the explanation. Learned a lot right here.

Thaer is looking at integrating Masari with Ledger Wallet following the rebase: https://i.imgur.com/mRb5MMG.png

@cryptomaxsun  Their is really nothing to argue about because Masari has a clear path of direction which takes us to asic free after the next fork. If you have an asic miner pointed at Masari well then good for you and enjoy it while you can. You are just not going to make any friends on here trying to sell a centralized coin system to us. That is not what Masari is about. Hope this helps.

I just stated an obvious fact without any banter, and they attacked me, badly, there is no intelligent community, there is no clear plan. nothing at all. if you are so thrown at people. this is very bad, for you and for a coin.

I think YOU started attacking the community. This is clearly evident by just reading the previous page. And maybe trying to spread FUD isn't the best way to discuss here.

I agree, if you have criticism, attack the idea and not the person. Also, the future ledger plans are quite nice. Now it is time to go buy more MSR!

projects with very interesting concepts, especially the innovations offered. I think Privacy is the main thing, and this project ensures our privacy. Very happy when reading and understanding the concept of this project. Very helpful to the community.

Clearly some fat finger at work, intending to place a buy order at 0.000035 BTC.

It's real hard to mine Masari these days....

I miss the old days, when I made 5 MSR/day with 250H/s.

Another great mention for Masari in this article.

Yep, it got really difficult to mine. I have only CPU for mining, which does also about 250 H/s and I actually stopped mining as I was making only a small fraction of what I was making before. But in general it's actually good for Masari that the difficulty is much higher now

Yeah baby, I just saw it on r/CryptoCurrency, all 4 projects look promissing and it's a very healthy approach to build the platform first and then distribute tokens -

Who are the developers behind this coin or how many are currently working on Masari?

Thaer and Cryptochangements are the two main devs working on Masari with another 2-3 people starting to contribute too.

[valgandar]

hmm is there a faucet for this coin?

No (as far as I know).

It is simply a flash pump with low trading volume, might be a test pump.
Let's wait for next movements of whales. It is not strange if the coin will experience more dramatic rises with higher volume than the one you shown.
Anyway, thanks for the hint, fella.

I understand the feelings of someone, who greedily bought at highs, especially in flash pumps like this.
Take a deep breath, turn off the computer to avoid doing stupid things in such hard period. All losses will be paper ones if you don't sell your coins at low prices.

I need to buy more of this coin...it seems like it rides the wave.

NEO has done very well when charted against bitcoin.
