State Of the network report
Here is where the world of Marscoin is - from the perspective of a Marscoin enthusiast. 

Interesting Mars news:

• Spacex is planning a lander mission to Mars by 2020 give or take, to be followed shortly by a crewed mission. Elon Musk plans to put one of his Tesla Roadsters in orbit around Mars just to proove he can.
• China has announced it plans a manned mission in the mid 2020's as well
• Arab Emerates has committed to create a major colony on Mars by the end of 2099, and has started building a prototype habitat dome here on earth for testing
• NASA has commited to at least think about going to Mars probably between 2030 and 2050 depending on the progress of the planned Moon missions, and planed lunar station

Other Marscoin news

• NovaExchange is now under new ownership and has added Marscoin.  The sell price there is a little less than Cryptopia so small traders may be able to get some cross / exchange trading profits.  The buy price book is looking a little empty too so posting a few low buy prices might net further profits again.
• The main official marscoin mining pool has been back up and running for a while now at pool.marscoin.org after mpos was updated by the admin.
• The official marscoin block explorer has been fixed as well.
• Marsbux is still causing problems on marketcap websites by pretending to be Marscoin, but given its average price is 1 sat dust, and some of the websites listing it have started using mars2 as its symbol, or delisting it entirely hopefully this problem will fix itself as Marsbux natually dies.

What does spacex have with this coin?

[groggin]

What does spacex have with this coin?

  a destiny amongst the stars and planets ...   

[btctuxedo]

How do we contribute directly to the cause? And do you have a team behind this project?

[alexF2007]

Yesterday, Marscoin pump, volume 24h reach 400k usd. But I think it will be dump because it have no Team, no whitepaper and no roadmap. Although I still love Marscoin and keep it. Can you show your TEAM and roadmap, DEV?

[myphoenixx]

I am just a Marscoin enthusiast (I am very interested in Mars Colonisation etc) and I run a mining pool.

But Marscoin had donated 500,000 coins to the Mars Society, and another 500k to the Mars One initiatve.   Not sure if these organisations still have their private keys.. but at the time I wrote this message those donations would be worth up to $35000 USD.

Best way to help is to simply use the coin for something.   Keep it active.  The more its value goes up, the more those donations to Mars One and the Mars Society count for.   You could also donate to the coin addresses for mars one or Mars Society.
Cryptopia has a market place where you can list goods/services in any altcoin you like.. maybe sell some spacey stuff in Marscoin ?

I personally hope to build a shopping website working entirely in Marscoin eventually.. but that is slow progress when I have other jobs to complete.

Lennart Lopin; one of the Marscoin foundation creators  and one of the Mars one Finalists, has a twitter if you want to hit him up with some questions.  Marscoin also has a facebook although are a little slower answering.

As far as roadmaps go - not sure - it was created for use as a currency for the Mars Colonies.   The final Mars One crew were going to setup a node on Mars.   The general idea was use as a research credit system.    Eg, a university on Earth could rent an hour on a Mars rover built and remotely operated on Mars..  or colonists could use it to buy/sell items or experiments to be added to supply missions to Mars or specimen return missions etc..

It was always going to be a long haul coin as Mars exploration is on a timetable of years not days.

I don't really understand this coin. In my opinion (and I have also been thinking about how a cryptocurrency on Mars should work before I found this one), a cryptocurrency on mars SHOULD BE STARTED ON MARS. Not on earth. That makes much more sense, and also with such short block time it is going to be very hard to keep copies of the block chain both on mars and on earth. If there is mining on both planets the blockchain would easily branch into two copies, right? Moreover, mining takes a lot of electricity which will be scarce on mars, it would make more sense to have a proof of stake coin.

I like the idea of thinking about a cryptocurrency on mars, but I don't think (and also don't hope) it will be marscoin.

Do you know some people on Mars who can start a cryptocurrency there? Maybe this coin more for publicity. Only 4 million coins on the exchange and synch is difficult so it does look like a temporary pump but Mars is a popular theme now and could attract the public.

Marscoin have been improved! Congratulations Marscoin Team! Marscoin team is on the way to the space to find new planet !

Nope. That is why it (in my opinion) should not be started until there is a settlement on Mars with enough infrastructure to start a (preferably PoS) cryptocurrency.

I encountered this article on "Structural Challenges for Space Architecture" written by a couple ladies with Ph.D.'s after their name and thought I'd post it here for anyone that might be interested:

http://www.structuremag.org/?p=12389 .  (The intended audience seems to be material-scientists.)

Best of luck with Marscoin in 2018 (I rented a miner a month or so back and now have some MARS socked away in a wallet... and am resisting the urge to sell a portion on this recent pump).

[groggin]

 blockchain stalled?
i'm not able to run the wallet,  it starts and quits with an error.  V1.0.3.0

is there a newer version? the link in the OP is broken, mega error: The file you are trying to download is no longer available.

thanks

[AyTr]

The wallet from https[Suspicious link removed] does not sync.

The wallet from http://marscoin.org/latest/marscoin-wallet.zip syncs but start with the chain from http://108.61.216.160/cryptochainer.chains/chains/Marscoin_blockchain.zip

Very fast actually https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/MARS/

When Mars fly to the Moon. It looks like Moon very close to Mary.

No Team, no roadmap so Mars never fly to the moon.

No, Marscoin is not dead coin, Dev is working on this ptoject but not showing Team and roadmap.

Hi,

I created account for web wallet and transferred some coin there.

I couldn't login again and have email Marscoin without getting any answer.

Also when I try to reset my password it give an error.

Any one any idea?

Thanks

[alexF2007]

Is Dev working on this project?

Proof of concept that explores financially feasible private methods in lowering the threshold for funding the colony out of planet Earth dramatically. This directly involves the general public in space exploration because it offers real ownership of the project with the possibility of future financial benefits.
