Is there no mileage in providing infrastructure for the Lakota from the premine?
A free playground, for instance, with lots of smiley, happy photos of kids in newspapers and websites?
This is what I sort of assumed they originally planned to do with the premine. Not a playground, but something related to community service -- food pantry, some funds for small businesses, that sort of thing. Basically use the premine for something the group could use, rather than give each individual 1000 maza. It's so much more problematic to hand out crypto to every single person, and it doesn't help if the people don't know what crypto is nor have a way to use it. The thing that bugs me the most is the fact that the developers won't post here. I mean, people spent like 3 days fighting off FUD (and I mean real FUD, not just normal concerns) --the android artifact thing, Herp going insane, etc. and yet nobody from the maza team would say a word here in the forums. That, and then I saw the MZC water challenge on youtube (my basic reaction to it was wtf)... I realize many here may want Payu to go jump in a lake at this point, but I'd think he could use his time much more wisely to help the coin. I don't think maza is a scam. I just question whether the developers have any idea what they are doing. I think boxxa is on IRC right now, https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/?nick=MazaCoin|?#MazaCoin

Completely negates the possibility of a dump? Could provide publicity over many months rather than just one hit? Negates the need to have to educate the Lakota in the ways of crypto, they can learn about it organically? I seems worthy of discussion to me, but instead I'm a puss filled gambler or something. You guys....... There has been some very good discussions surrounding the tech barrier. RFIDS, NFC, portable transaction devices could work very well. Old Samsung phone drives, to get smartphones into the hands of everyone. Personally IMO each community should train a broker to help invest and cash in when needed. There is a Maza ebay type market already, they just need a liaison to help people get their products online. There are some very strong indigenous markets out there. Some of the products can be worth a lot of money to many ppl around the world. This facebook group for the small town of Iqaluit has a thriving market. https://www.facebook.com/groups/148530435247065/Playground for a photo op, seriously? Yes, really, why not? You are trying to attract"average joes" aren't you? Joes have baby joes, baby joes sell newspapers. How can providing a playground possibly not be good? Your plan on the other hand is riddled with holes, will take a long, long time and is complicated. You've got to get people interested in a coin that is on the floor and "discussions about RFID and NFC" are just mental. You are asking people to fit in with the coin, it needs to be the other way around. You're trying to run before you can walk. Average joes don't want complicated, they want easy - and still there is that looming dump........

The coin is very very new! There is nothing surprising , as in bad surprising that is happening here at all ! all pretty standard, I posted weeks ago I thought we were going down from there...
The devs and the coin are doing exactly what it was said they would do, and there is a lot more to come...
All the rest, is just bullshit.
I got in early.. and I am staying, nothing has changed yet.
Early days , there is work to do though that I agree- but then that was ALWAYS going to be the case.
Hope everyone with their head screwed on knows the score with Cryptos by now... this coin is a mere few weeks old... anyone claiming they know its future already and it is 100% going to fail is a total and utter ego maniac BS artist... anyone that claims that this coins is doing anything that I have not seen pretty much every crypto do since the start of crypto, is a bs artist.
Take the fud with a pinch of salt..
Happy trails.

The reason they use phones is that many don't have internet connections at home. It's all there in the article you linked, if you read it. Nothing to do with crypto.

So why claims of $1 per Mazacoin from Payu ? And $ 3-5 from the Anonymos Pirate ? Lot of people have faith in them

Forget food pantrys and the like, they can be polarising, a lot of people resent handouts to adults.
Publicity is in sex, animals and children - in that order.
I am sure there are plenty of poor children that could benefit from a food pantry. It doesn't just have to be for adults. And I look at it from the perspective of actually helping someone, not what gets the most publicity. The point to maza shouldn't be to just drum up interest/newspaper articles, but to actually help someone.

Look at the reasons the Kenyans have taken to it...... They all have phones, not PCs. The want to send money, quickly, to rural areas where there is no internet access. It's safer than cash in a slightly dangerous country. A lot of them live in very, very remote locations. It is cash, they understand it. Your comparing Kenya with the States, you're mad. You know, your adherence to calling me names rather than give constructive criticism is quite childish - have you spent your dad's money on Maza?

EAC started with similar intentions and had a better, safer start than Maza, but it is now on the floor because people couldn't be realistic and pragmatic about it's future. And how is a playground not helping someone? Anyway, you've all got hung-up on it being a playground, it was only a suggestion, so what do you suggest?

Well, a playground is fine, assuming the people playing there have enough food to eat. Yeah, from a publicity standpoint, a playground would work. And no need to get hung up on it, I just meant a community project or two would be a lot easier than handing out maza to each individual. As for EAC, I believe their main problem started because one of the key developers backed out and dumped his entire premine (or at least that is the rumor). Then they went into a death spiral.
