Re: CRYPTSY stopping withdraw locking accounts without notifying users! Class Action
Well fuck.... I don't even know what to say...
I found out about the blog post when a customer called me and told me it was up. I found that irritating to say the least....
Again, I never worked with any wallets, had access to any wallets or any code. I ran investigations and customer end security ( like 2fa and getting back into hacked accounts)
This is a really shitty situation. I understand people are upset and have every right to be. I admit, I drank the koolaid and when people told me things were alright, I believed them whole heartedly. I don't know code or hardware at all, so when I was told it was a technical issue, I had faith.
Now I just look like an asshole for believing it, and for that I do apologize. Since I heard about this, Ive been sifting through dozens of emails from people with "tips" and it is exhausting to say the least. Although I am no longer paid by Cryptsy, I feel an obligation to try me best to help locate coins, whoever may have them.
In the mean time I don't mind trying to answer any questions I can and I know trolls are gonna troll hard at the moment. I'd be trolling too so I can't blame them.
I've always tried to help people since starting at Cryptsy and I find it a real shame it's come to an end like this.

Remember when 3 months ago I was like wtf why is cryptsy getting sticky hands can you look into it? And you are like don't worry just keep leaving money here. And I am like no thx. Then all the times you banned me and other ppl in trollbox for legitimate questions about where the fuck is our money? Then I reach out on twitter and tell you as a friend how it will hurt you to associate with this scamy company and you block me. Well TOLD YA SO! Maybe instead of sitting on a high horse fucking listen to your friends next time. trolling completed:)
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
Lol its become quite obvious bitrex MZC is much more valuable than cryptsy MZC presently. I see one positive part of this. The difference shows there's more than just pure speculator value going on here. Some is being generated by actual intentions to use MZC (since the mzc you can actually get off the exchange to use is constantly higher.)
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
there is one massive shake out going on with cryptsy wallet thing causing FUD. Then theres also ppl that are just like dum de dum vacuuming up mzc while its cheap. I think the really shaky hands are almost shaken now though, so it should rally soon!
Hi u all brave Maza warriors
I have allready strated building web shops for natives - here is one example -
https://holvi.com/shop/TraditionalHandcraft
The products are made by Canadian native couple and they have promised to help us promote MZC as a counter favor
- Tomi
ps. we just need a mastermind plan how to implement MZC to the shop
pps. I really like how it's active in this thread nowadays

If I am not mistaken there are some altcoin payment processors that do deal in MZC. https://www.coinpayments.net/ is an example I found really fast. These things are generally geared towards online stores, so it should be easy to integrate.
ps. Cool shop and cool ppl for wanting to work with MZC. Maybe they want to do an auction of something specifically for MZC bidders only. I really think that art could be the foundation of a mazacoin economey. As crazy as it sounds lol, I think buying groceries with mzc will follow
I have tried to get this idea off the ground but didn't find any partners. But don't be discouraged cause maybe I didn't try very hard lol.
Anyways the idea is to find handcrafted stuff/art/one of a kind things. Then, create a site where there is an auction in MZC. This could help generally anyone who is holding mazacoin cause there is actually something cool to buy with it. Most importantly it would help native tradespeople find some new customers from a pool of people that kinda already showed interest in their culture (by being interested in MZC!)
When I tried to get it going a really hard part was just explaining mzc to artists lol... but I am sure some are also computer nerds and think it was a cool way to sell art!

My opinion...
1) Create a high quality auction or sale site: easy.
2) Find artists / tradespeople who will make use of the site even before it gets any publicity: a little difficult
Where do you find them?
3) Popularize the site: extremely difficult
New auction or sale sites are a dime a dozen. Almost none of them last a year.
Effectively marketing art sites is very difficult.

Some examples of Native art sites
http://www.rivertradingpost.com/
http://www.artnatam.com/
https://www.nativeartsofamerica.com/
http://www.nativeart.net/
All of these sites rank very low on any measure of traffic. Some have some pretty severe technical flaws.
Maybe a more practical idea would be for somebody to make one high quality site then contact all of the Native art sites they can find and arrange a partnership. e.g. "We will post all of your art for sale on our site using our shopping cart system and will pay the artists with Mazacoin".
excellent post! I think it really shows me where I went wrong trying to implement this idea. It would probably be much easier to find partners that are art dealers, rather than individual artists. The downside is it may be tricky to convince them not to convert it all to fait since they are probably already running an operation based on that.
For point 3, I think that MZC really does alot of the promoting in itself. Basically all mzc holders have answered a product survey with "yes I am interested in native cultural items." Really just with the activity in these forums we would have a good group of qualified prospects. The next step would be growing it from an active "club" to a business with constant new customers. I think we might be able to leverage some success just having something at all going, and get talked about on crypto news sites. (just one example of how to make it grow)
Another idea I had from an above post was about digital assets. If we are selling unique pieces of art we could add a cool touch by creating a blockchain based ownership token and give it to the buyer. This is as simple as saying 1 particular MZC=ownership rights of this artwork.

never heard of this coin til I saw the ad on cryptsy. I think that advertising works. It worked on me, so I am buying figuring it will work on others to lol. Good job actually promoting your coin! (something so many devs forget all about)
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
lol you crazy people... anyways...
I had another thought why mazacoin should go POS. Its only really big centralized companies that win at mining. The best hashing equipment is not really sold to the public. If it were pos, you would not need to have specialized knowledge or special connections for equipment. I don't think many of the natives this coin is for have those things either. The poorest people, that need some steady income the most, certainly are not some technical wizard with inside market connections, or they would not be the poorest lol. pos would make it as easy as just having a wallet (something most people CAN do) to own some of the coin production. The vibe I get is they are interested in mazacoin but worried someone else will have overall control. I think that is a valid concern, given that the mining game is only for a select few.

Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
ya that's what I was getting at. It would help an economy of mazacoin develop if people were holding some (and I think staking is one good way to motivate that, but not the only way.) If people hold it, then there is time for them to meet someone else that has some, or introduce new people to mzc. Time is whats needed for trade in mazacoin to develop. If they just say, whats this for right now? Its like well not much... ok selling. If people quickly unload it, they arn't gonna become part of a trading network, that uses mazacoin, because they have no time to develop those ties.
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
I have been thinking lately it might be good to fork MZC to a proof of stake coin. Not saying to change the current production rate at all, so whatever percent that means in terms of staking just leave it be. It requires far less electricity, so it will mitigate alot of damage to the earth, if mazacoin is around a long time. Also, I think it would make the market more healthy. Its turned into a game of hot potato of like millions of MZC. POS would give some incentive to hold big chunks of it, while they are not really in use. If we were to do a campaign to give mazacoin to natives, they would not be as likely to see it as something to just sell for whatever price and move on. They would instead be encouraged to get a wallet and be interested in the projects long term goals. Right now I think alot of people would be like, "well thanks for this thing for free... that may or may not have lots of use down the road, but how much can I sell it all for right away?"
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
website updated!
mazacoin.org
Was a cpl weeks ago but didn't see anyone mention it here yet. Sounds like they are gonna be going on a major tour to promote the coin to the ppl it was actually made for. I think we all agree this is something we really need to have happen if we want the coin to be more than just a speculator only crypto like so many others. And who better to spread the word than Payu himself!

I was recently looking at what coins I owned but did not actually have a wallet I trusted lol. Bascially dogecoin and mazacoin were the only ones I would DL the wallet for on my main system. I have played many coins where I just kept them on the exchange cause I was AFRIAD of some crazy obscure and unvetted software having a keylogger and stealing all my btc or something. Anyways, I think thats a sign. I am gonna focus on investing in the two above mentioned coins I actually trust the wallet software for, as coins where ppl don't even wana DL the wallet have minimal chance of adoption beyond the speculator market.
Re: [ANN][MZC][SHA-256] MAZACOIN *First Sovereign Currency* ANDROID WALLET AVAIL.!!
Maza has had plenty of publicity.
What it lacks is credibility because nobody has started promoting it adequately among the tribes.
When someone seriously starts promoting it as a tribal currency it will jump to the sky. I'm willing to donate a fair amount of my coins to a solid distribution effort but it has to be directly to people for whom the coin is intended.
A lot of MZC holders are probably willing to donate substantially to distributing the coin but it has to be in a practical way.

With Mazacoin being SHA-256, same as bitcoin,
how many of the miners, do you think, are actually native indians?
Isn't it just bitcoin miners, who then mine any old SHA-256 coin?
The miners get their hands on the coins before anyone else does,
what if most of the miners are actually non-indians?
Wouldn't it make sense, to have an indian coin,
where it is the indians who do all the mining,
therefore the indians get their hands on the coin first?
I don't think there is any controls over who mines the coins though,
so although it is named after something indian,
it might actually be anyone on the internet(including non-indians)
who actually are mining the coin.
Thats why I am saying its not about getting native people to baghold all the coin. Its about using the coin to get actual wealth into their community. We have a liquid market and a well secured network (everyone in the world shares this asset.) But its obviously branded such that a merchant who was from a tribe would probably find alot more customers than any other merchant accepting it. We don't even need it to be mass adopted in the tribes, just have some merchants accepting it, and thus causing wealth to flow into their community. If they just had all the crypto but it constantly lost value cause no one outside also wanted to buy it, I would not say that actually increases their wealth.
Re: [KGC] The future is krugercoin and the future is now! [Official Launch]
I am getting into this coin. I like it because its um sorta dead. Like buy low lol. But anyways I see an opportunity to pick up a more mature coin and help make it into something without worrying too much my efforts will be massively diluted as more coins are generated.
I am glad to hear ppl are still working on the technical side of things. What I am gonna try to add is advertising effort. That is an area I think KGC is kinda weak in right now. perhaps a crowdfunding to get a website again:P Anyways lots of coins do well just by looking alive, so lets get KGC to have a face in the game to.

Well a big prob is what stops white men in Canada like me from saying hey I am one of these um "mazu's" now can I have some free MZC? But.. maybe its not a huge prob if its distributed more globally. What I really think would help the people the coin was made for (and give it more point to hold then just speculation for me) would be if some Lakota trades people would set up online shops to sell some of their work for MZC. Then wealth is actually flowing into their community, instead of just kinda spreading around mzc in a way that might actually decrease its value as everyone sells it off with nothing else to use it for.
MazaCoin crowd funded node is up!

AWESOME! I just recently learned what nodes even do lol. to be honest it should not matter to most ppl that wana use a coin but its important SOMONE keeps em running
so I deposited 1 btc just before all this but never bought anything. I am thinking if I GET the chance just withdraw it... on the other hand I am sure there will be some rock bottom prices at that time. hmmm. well I guess the first thing to see is if there even is this tough choice:)
I think site will be up again. 
To give more stress this will take one or more week.
Well this idea comes from me from my stock market experience.
Admin (my idea) sold Khs that no exist(SHORT position) will open market and people panic sell and he will buy (LONG position). ZERO sum game. Just trade
So people will not blame him for hack.
I expect price will be around 0.00000150-200
Rewards also can drop due to hack idea to cover up loses bla bla bla..

This actually seems very plausible to me
but at least it means that this fun game will go on lol.
