If it's not this Indian tribe/nation, it will be another Indian nation that will adopt it's own crypto-currency.  Because bitcoin has economic value and advantages that no one can dispute.  Plus, it's such a damn good idea!!

A Great Time to Start Something!
The lack of interest in the Wallstreet Journal Article (This is HUGE) strikes me as somewhat odd.

Mazacoin provides a sort of legal stability that no other coin, not even Bitcoin, has. Sure, Maza is subject to the same pump and dump and other risks that every other coin has, but it has one thing no other coin has. It's an indisputable official currency. If every government decides they don't like these coins (and they don't) and ban them tomorrow, where are we safe? Mazacoin.

Do people not understand what that means? Hell, even if you're only in it for the short term you have to recognize the value of the publicity surrounding this coin. Right now Maza is sitting at a Market Cap of about $ 2,941,865. Think about this. A total evaluation of wealth for the Lakota Native Americans of under three million dollars? Are you kidding me? These coins are three cents a piece right now. The Lakota tribe(s) are NOT small. This is a cryptocurrency revolution we're talking about.

I get the Auroracoin Pump and dump. It makes sense. But I think it's foolish for people to hold onto those coins hoping this guy does what Mazacoin has already done.

Ignoring short-term publicity and profitability entirely, I think it's well within reason that these coins hit a ten, twenty, or one hundred million market cap. We're talking the economic strength of tribes that hold the equivalent lands of all of South Dakota, plus all the investors.
3M is a pittance. Hopefully people realize this before it hits a dollar or more a coin.

Your post is good but this "It's an indisputable official currency" is disputable since they are not a genuine, independent nation.
Interesting story, stay tuned...

I live in south dakota mazacoin if it is used as the dev intended great too bad it never will. Mazacoin will be used to fatten the casino owners pockets the owner touts that it will be used to help the impoverished lakota the majority are alcoholic pot/meth heads/junkies who spend the money they get on drugs. There are very few who would use the coin as intended.

They should create a new premined crypto backed by gold.

mazacoins possible ties to the free lakota bank is what has me semi nervous. regardless i plan on picking up a decent amount and holding it. i appreciate what payu is trying to accomplish and i hope he is successful. i also hope the lakota nation decided to stand behind this, if only they could see what benefits this could have on the economic status of their community

Could you assist in clarifying a few details please?

(i) Has the Pine Ridge Reservation or Oglala Sioux's tribal council accepted MazaCoin as a sovereign currency, or at the very least, endorsed it?
(ii) In the event the tribal council accepts MazaCoin, are they empowered to do so under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act? Or are they still under the direct authority of the Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs as well as the U.S. Secretary of Interior himself (both who naturally will consider the introduction of an alternative currency as illegal)?
(iii) Has any physical business accepted MazaCoin as legal tender?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Just saw this forum post by the developer.
"The AIM movement is currently not a fan of MazaCoin. Because the developers (myself included) are white. They believe it to be a "white man's scam" at this point. As for First Nations there may be more sympathy there, but so far they are silent."

So does anyone have a link to an official proclamation or whatever by either the Lakota nation recognised by the U.S. Feds or the Lakota nation not recognised by the U.S. feds?

Or is the claim that a Lakota nation officially accepts and puts forth the currency as its national currency bullshit with regard to both of those competing "Lakota nations" ?

To your number 2: this coin has gotten a ton of press the past few days...

Yes, but still only a few days. And I don't think it's made that big of an impact on people not already following altcoins. This is a coin that could change the landscape if it works. The press will be 100x bigger if any kind of working real-life crypto economy even begins to form. Something like that happening inside of the U.S. is going to capture a far wider audience than the Mazacoin press from the last few days. I just think some things have to start happening with the coin first before we see a real, dramatic price rise.

It's just TraderCoin right now. You can't do a thing with it. You can't even wipe your ass with it, it's digital. Value will come when the picture of its uses and economy is more clear. Value will come when average jackoffs in America are asking eachother about that 'new digital money the Indians are using'. I just don't think this is a coin that will rise a whole lot until there's more behind it. It might go up some because it does have potential, but if there will be a boom I think it's a few months or more away.

Most Naive Americans don't give a damn about crypto, are you kidding me? Have watched the documentaries that show a lot of them are drunks/gamblers? They all stay in their community and it gets worse because no one moves and it's hard to get jobs. Why the hell would they want some hassle Mazacoin to fuck around with? Simple people don't need that stupid shit.

This coin will succeed or fail over a much longer period of time than the few days it's been popular here. Patience. I wouldn't call it a failure just because it's not the InstantProfitTraderPumpCoin so many were hoping for. I think the coin has more merit than that.

Prices will rise when:

1) Supply lowers when it halves or when it's not growing exponentially in hash rate (miners dumping every day).

2) When it's recognized a lot more widely. Right now most of the people interested are traders/miners.

Of course, that depends on how implementation goes over the coming months.

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG

When is this thing gonna rise againnn
Have patience, ThePatient.  Mazacoin is a coin for the long term. Whether it falls a bit in these early days is relatively unimportant.  If you think it's too cheap, you can always buy some more.  And of course you can always get some by mining...preferably at my pleasant p2pool http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477  Smiley

Why do you think its dying? Trading looks brisk to me. Sure it had a little pump at the beginning but let's give this coin a chance before we write it off.

Other than Bitcoin, Mazacoin appears to be the only other coin with real world credibility.  The jury is still out on Aurora.
