Re: [ANN][MSK]MaskNetwork - the decentralized social network that pay users to post
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.
** 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.

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.
Yep.. His solutions to me losing so much seams to be -- Oh but we will have cold storage and many more nodes in a weeks time..
My losses where like 10 days ago.. There where no other node operators. I supported maskbuzz from day one and was one of the first users to post decent content and recommend the platform to my mates. Since then obviously all of them withdrew and are out due to the bad customor support and they way they "handled" my MASSIVE loss.
To brush it off is ridiculous and just goes to show the way the project is run.
And to allow me (ONE OF THE FIRST USERS) just goes to show how they might handle things going forward. Keep in mind at the moment with the dPoS they are in control of the chain and could of also simply forked when maskbuzz lost all the coins and rolled back by a few hours. (since at the time maskbuzz was also in maintanance mode, and being the only node at the time, meant no packets where in any blocks so a few hour rollback would not have effected anyone negatively and only refunded me and the few others that lost coins.
Anyway, seams the dev is adamant it is not his problem that I lost 3000 MASK and so I only have myself to blame. I thought I could be an early investor but goes to show just how bad this scene really is and how easy it is for devs to laugh off losses of their supporters and customers.
Also if Satoshi had come out with Bitcoin but before he put out any info on creating a node or wallet or anything but instead said "Hey guys here is Bitcoin, the only way to use it right now is through MtGox.. " Then yeah I would be asking Satoshi what happened to my coins when they got goxed.
