You can only hear good things about MASS on every platform. One has to give full marks to dev team of this project they have performed exceptionally good in taking MASS to mainstream adoption. Not many altcoins have achieved what MASS has in very short span of time.

Can't confirm that unfortunately. At least the windows miner is incredibly buggy and slow.

Buggy:
- Try to plot a drive with more than 1TB. It will hang/freeze. Tried on a recent Ryzen CPU with 32GB RAM, > 24h.
- If you manage to start plotting < 1TB space, your already plotted 2GB chunks "mine" according to their status, but nothing comes to your wallet. Tried 3 days with increasing chunks.
- You can't "delete" chunks or stop the plotting process and start in a new directory / drive unless you delete the config folder somewhere in AppData.

Slow:
- Plotting the drive is slow af. I'd need a whole week to fill 4TB.


Additionally, I heard mining is not even profitable anymore, even with a fair amount of TB. Maybe few cents in a month.
AFAIK, there are other PoC coins which look more interesting, for me at least.

I don't want to take a cr*p on MASS here, the concept is not bad. However, I wasted time on this project and if you don't like what I've described, you might not.
