I just signed up at maskbuzz.com. I have a few questions:

1. Is it true I first have to spent 0.01 BTC before I can do anything on the network? I have 0 MSK after signing up so I can't post a comment, new article or upvote. There is no sign-up bonus? I think most users want to try a network before they spend anything.

2. I can't update my profile. When I hit the 'Update' button nothing happens.

3. Is hiddenwallet.org the same as maskbuzz.com? The website seems the same.

4. When I try to upvote i got this message: 'Invalid network fee address'. This is my address 'ME4wEAYHKoZIzj0CAQYFK4EEACEDOgAEkTCUTVipuh3QUGbVm4gD9SxKvh9kZ/6/81r0MIIfhUYE96SzAH02JnSbZlJ5J+leMu5oJt+mHxk='. Is this because I have 0 MSK? In that case the error message should be something like 'No MSK available'.


1. It looks like the faucet wallet did not send any coins to new signups yesterday. You should receive 0.1 on signup and have enough to post a comment or new article. .

2. You cannot update the profile from the blog section, you have to go the address and click the cog and then do it.  I know . weird bug as the one page is not correct.

3. Yes it is similar.  there are many node operators and these are two ones that run the exact same node code / design.  you would think the node operator would design something better than just having them look stock standard.  As far as I know only maskbuzz gives away the 0.1 msk on signup. (Though last night it seams this faucet mechanism was not working - neither was the exchange. 

4. You need at least 1 msk to upvote so you either have to buy some or earn some through commenting and blogging (though the peeps with more than 1 coin are now only really voting for themselves to gain max rewards. You could get mega lucky and get a few smaller upvotes tho and earn a dollar or two per post .. again, only if you lucky.


* Save your private keys as I had 3000 MSK but my address just vanished one day from the account I was using on maskbuzz.   Roll Eyes

** Do not expect to much support or answers from the devs as they too busy to really help or care about those of us that lost coins from initial bugs.

3.   

I have mentioned before. We do not run web nodes !!! Web nodes are run by people that are not part of masknetwork dev team. We will upload a paper wallet on github this week for thos who want to store big amounts of coins in a secure way.

There was no initial bug. It was a wallet operator mistake. Next week 2-3 more web wallets will join the network. There is no way we can control what they do !!!

You don't blame and you don't contact Gavin Andresen when coinbase or blockchain.info are down or don't work. You try to get in touch with the local support teams.


If you read above I did not blame you but blamed maskbuzz.  When I spoke about devs I meant maskbuzz devs..

Anyway maskbuzz was the only node and only way to use the network at that time so you cant completely ignore bugs they had as the whole web node thing is one of your networks selling points. .  You cannot completely ignore maskbuzz as they where a main part of the masknetwork at the time.

So owning up to atleast some responsibility would be just.  You could also have just refunded me to keep me engaged with the project and so that I would have spread the word and found investors, PR etc... But instead you just claim the masknetwork and the web nodes are completely unrelated.  This was not the case at the time maskbuzz launched. 

But ye.. Whatev.. IF you want to have such bad customer relations with your beta testers its fine.   You welcome.

I agree. The dev actually made a post recommending Maskbuzz. He should own up to that. The project is alpha enough to refund those losses.
