Re: [ANN][MARS] Marscoin - PoW / DGW - Bitcoin on Mars - Colonizing Mars!
The whole "new currency to use on Mars" is a joke i hope ? 
However I do like the fact that you support the project (they already accept bitcoins as donations btw). I think you should contact Mars One about this, send them the coins now already and tell them they have potential to be be worth a lot: especially when they help a bit with the promotion (perhaps by adding Marscoin on their sponsors list if you play your cards well).

Hi Rnbin, no joke at all. In fact, we will be presenting tomorrow at the 17th international Mars convention. Cryptocurrencies are the future and a developing Mars colony will have one as well. Marscoin tries to be that very one.
Of course we hope that Mars One might officially support the project down the road: additional fundraising opportunities and a voluntary global participation for everyone - those are goals that are definitely aligned with their ground-breaking vision of setting up a human base on Mars for all of mankind as soon as possible. Realistically, for any coin to become something like "the Bitcoin on Mars", all you really need is convince the earliest colonists to participate and the resulting network effect will be similar to Bitcoin's on Earth.
I'll link to our talk from the Mars convention on youtube once it is uploaded.
BTW: donations will be handed over to MarsOne and The Mars Society tomorrow.
