[ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!

[2bacco]

Have you considered ways of giving incentive to natives to get hold of some Mazacoins?

...

How much is the pre-mine as of today  I saw a post that the Developer of the coin was doing some type of gun registration with Maza.  That is a bit on the right track but the current price is pretty low and I thought we could be on more exchanges than just Bittrex.

That is one of [several] problems with Mazacoin. Nobody really wants to say what the premine was or where it went.

I'm not sure what you mean by gun reg with Maza. Could you post a link?

As to Maza's price, it is the nature of cryptos that things are bought and sold on image rather than substance, and that favors Mazacoin. It will do very well once cryptos start going mainstream. But at this point, very bluntly, it will do well because of what it weakly promises, rather than on anything it actually delivers.

What was suggested in the previous post was maybe one (of many) ways to add substance to Mazacoin.

Here are some baseline observations.
1) Most Mazacoin are held by non Natives.
2) It is extremely unlikely a significant percentage of Mazacoin will ever directly drive a Native economy.
3) A high percentage of Mazacoin are held by progressive types who are potentially on the cutting edge of any major change.
A real "Native currency" will be created and distributed first within it's community, rather than as a speculative instrument for outsiders. But a currency in today's world has to have bridges with other markets and Mazacoin would be an ideal currency to use as a bridge, a medium of exchange, for a more authentic Native currency.

It is always better to deal with realities than to deal with ideals.

c) One of the biggest issues people have with a distribution like this could be solved by having a wallet assigned to each qualified person, and having the coins in the wallet unavailable for spending, but stakeable, with the interest spendable. So a person would get a wallet with, say, 1000 coins. The wallet would be in their name and not sellable, nor transferable, except on death. The holder of the wallet would have the interest available to spend but would never lose the blalance. If it were hacked, at most the interest could be stolen, the coins could not be stolen. The coins would always pertain to that person.

It's hard to say.  I think if there was some transparency and an update with information like where the pre-mine went then people might have more faith.  Right now it is just a PnD coin. As you said we need to get some tribal adoption.  Even if they used Maza as a was to register a physical currency that would be cool as well. Would need tech to be able to verify the balances on the physical coins.

I think one thing we need is a working explorer. The one on CoinMarketCap is broken https://mazacha.in/chain/Mazacoin/

[no-ice-please]

It looks like https://explorer.coinpayments.net/index.php?chain=11 is a good explorer.

Mazacoin is freedom

Any explorer (with json api) / MPOS pool I might use for this to get stats?

An idea that might restore some relevancy to Mazacoin/
-

Mazacoin tries to bill itself as "a Native currency", but the reality is that it is mostly owned by non Natives and has no real tangible connection to any future Native economy, aside from a premine, about which there are questions.

The one saving grace of Mazacoin is that most of its holders, if not Native, are at least strong supporters of a Native economy.

The problem is the coin itself, its distribution, history and so on. So here is one possible solution that will allow Mazacoin to be used for what it actually is, a coin for outsiders to support a Native centered economy.
-
1) Issue a new coin with a substantial premine, to be distributed to Natives in North America.
a) If the coin were 50% premined and those 50% were distributed to Natives with at least 50% Native blood, the remaining 50% of mineable coins, would be quite valuable.
b) In North America it is not that hard to let Natives be identified (by percent Native blood) reliably, with their consent, for the purpose of distributing coins. The U.S. generates a lot of paper on people.
c) One of the biggest issues people have with a distribution like this could be solved by having a wallet assigned to each qualified person, and having the coins in the wallet unavailable for spending, but stakeable, with the interest spendable. So a person would get a wallet with, say, 1000 coins. The wallet would be in their name and not sellable, nor transferable, except on death. The holder of the wallet would have the interest available to spend but would never lose the blalance. If it were hacked, at most the interest could be stolen, the coins could not be stolen. The coins would always pertain to that person.

Mazacoin has a premine, some of which has been accounted for, I believe. If that premine were used to create liquidity for the new coin, for example swapping the entire Mazacoin premine for (a very tiny) percentage of the new coin then initially there would be some equivalency between the two coins, and an easy market for people who wanted to speculate on the unpremined 50% of the new coin before a substantial quantity were available.

Key problems to avoid would be
a) Any tendency to overconnect the two coins, in other words to provide some excessive benefit to Mazacoin holders. Mazacoin should not dilute the value of any (more genuine) Native currency, but it would be a useful go between currency potentially.
a) Any lack of transparency anywhere in any step of the process. One of the big problems with Mazacoin is secretiveness involving the premine and other aspects of the coin. A new coin should not be given that problem too.
 
Just an idea

Indeed I'd love to see it on Yobit, of course one day polo again... but at least on Yobit, I could grow my bag with the dice

Do you guys think that Maza should change to a proof of stake coin.  We already have close to a billion coins.  The POW way of doing things consumes massive amounts of energy.  I think it will also encourage people to hold their coins as well.

[owlhooter]

Maza will not switch to PoS at least while the current dev team is in place.  Maza is meant to be spent, not held.  Encouraging hoarding of Maza to increase your holdings doesn't help with the economy of spending Maza.

Where can I mine it?

[jaredboice]

Could anyone help me figure out why I have no block source available with 0 active connections?  Should someone maybe provide add node command list and tell me what to name the config file and where to put it on a mac if that's the issue?

I'm using v0.9.0.1-gff29c65-beta  Thanks!!!!

[Alao]

Hey does anyone know how to reload the blockchain on the Maza Wallet?  I'm having some inconsistencies that I'm trying to resolve

[Arrakeen]

The security certificate for mazacoin's marketplace needs to be updated....?

The MZC wallet usually synchs fast.

For Windows you go to the wallet console and paste in, one line at a time, nodes like
addnode 146.0.32.101:12835 add
addnode 108.61.10.90:12835 add
addnode 73.240.243.108:12835 add
addnode 72.49.184.206:12835 add
addnode 162.243.96.166:12835 add
addnode 194.135.91.92:12835 add
addnode 104.172.24.79:12835 add

hit "enter" after each line.

An Apple computer I guess is probably the same but I don't know. I'm answering your question because nobody who knows more has answered it, I don't know anything about Apple computers.

In general, if a wallet doesn't synch you should make sure your firewall is not preventing it, or some other security program is not causing problems, e.g., running it in a sandbox or something.

I tried adding a .confg file (I tried mazacoin.conf and Mazacoin.conf) and the program stopped even opening on my Mac after that.

Then I got rid of that config file and tried again.  My problem is that it shows 0 connections.  Most of my other crypto wallets are working fine.  Although from time to time, if it has been a while since I've synced (or if crypto wallets have been forked since or something) I do notice I have to go through all these problems all over again

[ErikW79]

Realy is there need to compile the Wallet? no one has the executable available?

The conf file is one way to specify peers I think, but does the Apple wallet not have a console where you can add them?

At the top of the Windows wallet is a menu that has "file" "settings" and "help".
If you click on "help" and then "debug window" then "console", you can paste in peers like addnode 146.0.32.101:12835 add then hit the enter key on your keyboard. Not sure if Mac is the same.

I looked for Maza mac downloads and the only links I found went to a mega page that does not have anything and a link that does not work.

Yes there's a console, thanks!  Can you provide more node lines to add? 

Also, what is up with this coin?  Is it still being managed?  I had high hopes, especially for the tribes themselves and I wanted to be a part of it no matter how small.  Crypto is revolutionary!
