Mask update out shortly. Will include the following:

Bulletproofs

And many more....

The new Mask release v0.3.0.1 'Phoenix' is available at:
https://github.com/mask-project/mask/releases/tag/v0.3.0.1

Minor change included:
* Updated seed nodes

This version assumes the latest block is 195644. As certain pools had different heights during the last few months I can only assume that someone will perhaps have a higher height. If this is the case please do let me know and I can verify and update the chain.

Now I am trying to break through the current block which has a difficulty hashrate of 59kH.

There are no pools running (that I know of).

For anyone interested to mine feel free to solo mine for now.

This update will also assume the main changes from Vide Eum.

Thanks for the support : )

HAPPY MASK THURSDAY

ANNOUNCEMENT:

MASK will be upgrading to V0.3.0.0 "Vide Eum" !

After much thought and testing MASK is proud to offer the following features:
    * Multi output Bulletproofs
    * POW change to CNFastv2
    * Masari's SECOR Uncle Mining
    * Complete removal of the Mask Governance Fee.

It has been thought as a very important decision to completely remove the Mask governance fee from the protocol to allow a more distributed issuance of Mask and to give back to everyone who has been with us from the start and most recent.

Mask will HARDFORK at block 180,000 so please make sure you have updated your node software prior.

RECOMMENDED: Download the newest upgrade now to test prior the hardfork incase you incur any issues/bugs.

Currently a very good implementation of anti-asic is the CNFastv2 POW algo used by Masari themselves. HOWEVER, it has come to my attention that many of you are asking for the POW to remain as it is. Please feel free to discuss this prior to the hardfork for a FINAL decision

Mask will now also include uncle mining in the protocol, which will allow miners to get reward for blocks that might have been mined at nearly the same time. Uncle mining is currently used by other protocol aside from Mask, Masari and Ethereum. Feel free to research more about the subject for a more indepth understanding. Uncle mining provides for a more secure chain.

Thank you all for being part of MASK and supporting the chain in anyway you can.

Here is a teaser preview for our next Web Wallet release, coming this week ! Stay posted for more updates !

TEASER

Announcement #1

We have decided that Graviex Exchange is the best platform for Mask, after MUCH discussion and research.

We will be opening a donation pot to help us list on Graviex Exchange. This exchange currently has a listing fee of 0.3 BTC. To cover this, Mask will create a BTC donation address so anyone whom wishes to help out can do so.

Further more,

Mask will also create a sell order on BISQ of 10,000 Mask for 1000 sats each to help with the donations. It is fixed at this price and for those who want to donate and want to receive Mask for it are more than welcome to use the BISQ sell order. This action will be taken in the next 1/2 days, an announcement will follow. We want to monitor and see how things go for the first few hours.

TARGET = 0.3 BTC to list on GRAVIEX
