How  are you issuing Mass coins?

Have you read our whitepaper and website? Smiley

Does that mean that the more I browse the more I make? This can be a bots' space....

Sure, there will be a lot of bots. Internet has a lot of them, they do search and click Google, they have Facebook accounts and some bots behave like real people. Bots "use" different browsers/devices, and some of them have Bitcointalk accounts. Smiley

How do sites solve this problem? The easiest way is to show captchas, but large sites like Google have enough stats from you GMail and search to determine whether you are a real human.

Mass will offer completely new way: signed user accounts.

In the near future anyone can create authority, online or offline, which will sign user personal ID with their key. For example, BMW will sign your account as "X5 owner" and advertisers will be 100% sure they pay for BMW owner attention.

The same with any other organization, business or even club. Anyone can issue their authority, and webmaster can announce which users he is interested in.

No private information! Just an ID and a signature to prove membership. No "search queries", "visited sites" or shopping histories, no social profile spying, no name/email/phone data.

How  are you issuing  Mass coins ? It is not really clear why it  will get a lot of value  - am I right thinking that payments  to
ordinary  web users will be done with Mass and  instantly? Why not use  btc?BTC

I will explain more about ads.

Brave idea is to sell ad impressions without giving any info about user. That works sometimes, but in general such ads sucks. People are different and they have different needs. Even more, people use proxies/VPNs, so you could not target even by geo region correctly!

May be you know, I'm a CTO of small Bitcoin-related ads network CoinURL, which has high quality crypto traffic, and does NOT use cookies or track visitors. But CoinURL is very small, there are too few sites where BTC ads could bring good revenue. CoinURL ads are good, but it's very small network with thousands of clicks. We need million of clicks and billions of impressions. BTW, CoinURL could not grow and sell non-Bitcoin ads, because knows nothing about visitors and such ads will not match user interests.

So, for ad networks there is a choice: to be a small network or to track/spy and buy stolen data! That's awful, we need something else!

Mass project is the solution. Users will sell webmasters their data and get paid for watching ads. Such ads will cost much more than usual ads and will be useful for visitors. You will choose which ads are interesting for you.

So, in the end, Mass sells the user data whereas Brave does not?

No! Mass does NOT sell anything!

It only gives protocol extensions for user to sell his/her information to webmaster. BTW, Brave browser can also support these protocol extensions, because they are easy-to-implement and won't harm user privacy. Smiley


I guess this statement is confusing then:
... And I want to help webmasters to earn some money by selling allowed info about me.

I think the concept has good potential, and I do agree that the online ad business is getting out of order. I'm just trying to better understand the whole concept of Mass.

We have seen a lot of beautiful coin developer ideas but most of them dumped the coin half way especially when it involves ico.
I like this coin idea at least it could be a google fashioned for cryptocoin and i hope the dev and his team will take us to higher level.

There already is such a browser, https://brave.com/
Are you planning on forking their browser or creating something entirely different?

I'm user of it! Wink

It's awesome product, and they are doing right things.

But Brave does not allow me to tell webmaster about myself, my needs and interests. I won't get ads, but sometimes I need them. And I want to help webmasters to earn some money by selling allowed info about me.

In my opinion, Brave is a good ad-blocker and privacy guard, but not a MASS solution for new era of online ads.


I'm trying to figure out what the main differences are between the Mass project and that of Brave. So, the idea of Mass is to provide a site owner with the user data, for them to sell and earn revenue. But the Brave project allows the users to view some certain ads, and that revenue is split between the user and the website the the users chooses, but the users privacy is mainly kept. I am currently not using the Brave browser so I may have got this concept misunderstood.

So, in the end, Mass sells the user data whereas Brave does not?

How are you sure they will use the data for what it was intended for and not use for other services

May be I misunderstood your question... is your question about user? How can a user be 100% sure your personal data are safe? That's good question!

First of all, we will block all data-sync cookies, as adblockers do and browsers like Brave. So, there will be no way to track user.

Then, we will store user private information locally, we won't send or store anything not encrypted on servers. Your private key will be used for backups like all wallets do and such cloud storage services like Mega.

Webmaster will do requests for your private information (or part of it), but you will get payment first. Of course, webmaster can save it, but there is not way to share this information with anyone, because you need cookies to be synced. The same scheme will be used for showing ads.

Brave is similar (not exactly a marketplace but a shop, though) and it is great (I'm actually typing this from Brave). But the approach is too generous; they're not going to go mainstream that way. They are not going to be a part of existing RTB. That's wrong if you really want to change things. You have to poison the incumbent ad industry from within to kill it. You can't fight it openly; you have to be mean.

There is no consensus algorithm mention so what do you plan to use?

We are not going to create new blockchain, our project is NOT a new blockchain! Smiley

We are going to create new software for users to browse the web. Of course, we will start with Chrome/Firefox browser extensions for blocking ads, which will have wallet enabled. And you will be paid for browsing websites with whitelisted ads.

Next step — standalone browser for desktops and mobiles.
