Why MasterCard Coin?We chose this name mainly because we like the idea of a card being associated with the idea of a coin. Also, we don't really bite the whole Copyright-Trademark issue that haunts everyone's minds these days, and starts those "wow, you guys are really in trouble" threads which are nothing but a projection of a persons' insecurities to the online world. Also, as we have no HQ or a firm/company associated with this coin, we are really looking forward to the "trouble" that we can have with the copyright issue. We really do.
With that being said, let's get to the nitty gritty.
MasterCard Coin is a fork off Bitcoin, with our tiny little bits of code added, some extras being removed, while maintaining the integrity of the whole idea and transactional process. So no, you will not find any EXTRA, SUPER-DUPER massive new features with things that we promise to implement but we will suddenly just happen to forget about them, or 30 pages plans of action that fail miserably when the code is being wrapped up. If you are looking specifically for that, we suggest you close this baby, and search for 'nother thread where the OP can fulfill your hopes with awesome realistic plans like [blazing fast new ("features/addons/speeds")]/[sluggishly-slow implemented (ideas/hopes/lies)] + (ideas too profitable to be true, but SOMEHOW THEY ARE!) times 27% more exaggeration / 701% (because why not) which so happen to = SHIT
You will not find fancy words in here, words that sell you a ticket to heaven and back 2 times skipped by 1. You currrently know about this coin as much as we do. We are that transparent. Also, in case that you forgot what you know about this coin, re-read this thread.
MasterCard Coin features and basic explanation of the systemMasterCard Coin is unique in it's own way due to the fact we didn't adopt a mining algorithm, we like to be somewhat different. Different is not necessarily better in this world, but in this case it might just be. The coin is based on Bitcoin, it has the same trading style and speed of transactions, the fee is somewhat different as we chose it to be exactly 0%. Yep, we don't want to tax you everytime you make a transaction, we like you to be just as comfortable sending 1000 MCC, as you would be sending 0,02 MCC. Ye olde Proof-of-Stake system is in place along with the same 27-34 characters addresses. Protection from 51% attack is done also with PoS.
MasterCard Coin will be instamined the second the network goes online. WE WILL KEEP NO COINS FOR OURSELVES. You can do the calculations when we launch, and see for yourself. We will post EACH and EVERY aspect of the coins that we will send out to investors, and we will destroy the coins which have not been sent out to investors in a LIVE STREAM event which is scheduled 4 hours before the official launch on 00:00 a.m. 10 May 2014
MasterCard Coin wallet look and feel: same as your basic Bitcoin wallet, same functionality with the same ease of access and usage. All clients will be slimmer than what you were used to so far (no more 3 hour-long "Sychronizing..." message), they won’t have to download the whole database and will only cache what's relevant to you.
Things to doWe have to make the blockchain explorer, the mobile platform wallet, the wallet for Apple computers, and a website. And for those things to come to life we need approximately 2 more persons, which can join our work on monday 28 april 2014, 7:00 am EDT (8:00 at the most). If you wish to do that, kindly email us your resume with your super PC abilities at:
MasterCard.Coin@yahoo.comDistribution plan for MasterCard CoinThe total number of coins to be distributed is 1,200,210,000 MCC which will be done in 3 phases. In the first phase we will distribute a third of all the coins (446,000,000) and we mutually decided upon the fixed price of 600,000 MCC for 0,1 BTC. This 1st period will last 3 days. The 2nd period will last 11 days, time which the crowdfunding stops. The thing is that if you donate more, you will get a varying percentage more, according to the following template. In the 2nd phase the remaining 750,300,000 coins will be distributed but no bonuses will be given to investors. In the 3rd phase, we will recalculate ALL the coins given out, and at exactly 7:00 p.m. EDT on 9 May 2014 we will destroy all the coins that have not been purchased in a live stream event. Following this, the total number of MCC coins will be equal with the coins purchased by you, and we will keep nothing for ourselves (the developers)
In the 1st stage, which will last for 3 days, we have put massive bonuses in place in order to encourage investors' participation in this project.
Stage 1 of IPO lasts from Friday 4/25/2014 until Sunday 4/27/2014: - 0,01 BTC -> 60,000 MCC

LIMITED TIME ONLY! Any purchase worth more than 0,1 BTC will get 3.5X the amount! This lasts for
14 hours only since the posting of this thread! What that means is that if you invest 0,1 BTC for instance, you will receive 3,570,000 MCC instead of the normal 1,020,000 MCC sum.
// Flat rates only after 1 BTC, because we don't like the idea of monopoly. Yes, you can donate 3 BTC for instance and get 19,440,000 X 3 but you will not get bonuses for every milestone like we put in place for the lower sums. Imagine the imbalance that would result...
// No donations bigger than 3 BTC accepted due to possible market imbalance (monopoly disorder prevention)
// How do i get involved, how do i become an investor?
Just think what sum of BTC is best for you and invest with that. What you feel is right, it usually is. Send it to the address below, and also send us a PM also on this account "Express" with the sent amount and with the Transaction ID to verify that it was really you who sent us that amount, and not someone else. We currently accept only BTC, but that may change.

Stage 3 of IPO (the coin destruction process) will be on Friday 5/9/2014 and will be broadcasted and recorded on Twitch.tv on 7:00 p.m. EDT, at the end of which every investor will be mentioned and thanked for. The next day at 00:00 a.m. on 5/10/2014 the coin will be officially launched! (that is 10 May 2014 for people with different calendar formats)
If at the end of the crowdfunding period there will remain some coins that have not been pre-purchased, THOSE COINS WILL BE DESTROYED. We (the developers, 3 in number so far) will keep nothing for ourselves. Following this, if at the end of the IPO, let's say that 550,000,000 MCC have been purchased, then the remaining 650,210,000 will be
PERMANENTLY DESTROYED.
List of investors, in order of purchase history (1,200,210,000 total number of MCC)1. 446,000,000 MCC (37,16%) (25 - 27 april 2014):1) GoldenEye - 0,1 BTC
2. 750,300,000 MCC (62,41%)(28 april - 8 may 2014):- to be completed with investor names -
3. 3,910,000 MCC (3,25%):1) atleticofa - 1000 MCC
2) romawi - 1000 MCC
3) mirador17 - 1000 MCC
4) c4po - 1000 MCC
5) GoldenEye - 1000 MCC
Given FREE to the people who reply to this thread asking for them, also for bounties and marketing purposes. Each user who replies to this thread asking for free MCC, will get allocated 1000 MCC to his username. Also, if there are way more replies that the currently allocated MCC for this step, we will transfer a few more from the 2nd phase of the crowdfunding period, until the needs are met. But according to our calculation 3,910,000 MCC will be enough. And yes, by replying to this thread, you will become an investor just by participating to this living project! So go ahead and join the discussion!
