From the recent Q&A on Twitter with Mars One, here's a synopsis of the questions surrounding the selection process and training:

Q: where will the full time employees/ trainees of Mars One live full time? Will they be able 2 bring their families? A: We have not yet selected the training location. Like any other employee, crew members can take their family
Q: If a candidate is successful to round 3, how much notice will they be given to leave their current job and enter training? A: Candidates will have several months: training will also involve moving to the country where training takes place
Q: At what point will the reality TV portion of the project begin? A: We expect the documentary series on the selection process to start in spring 2015
Q: How many regions for interviews... 5, 1 per continent ? A: This is still to be decided. We will make sure everyone can easily participate in the interview round
Q: Do you already know where the first simulation outpost will be? A: Having discussions about potential locations, no final decision yet. We welcome proposals
Q: How many of the #705 candidates will make it to the next round? A: There isn't a determined number. The actual total will depend on the number of qualified candidates among the 705
Q: Can you offer a rough timescale for Rounds 2-4 of astronaut selection? A: The interviews will happen this year. Round 3 early 2015. We hope to select the 1st teams to train by end 2015

That, indeed, would be cool:

2014 Program Schedule

The 17th Annual International Mars Society Convention
South Shore Harbour Resort (SSHR), League City, TX, August 7-10, 2014

17th Mars Convention, Aug. 7th,  3-3:30 pm  Marscoin: A Cryptocurrency Exploring Private Funding to Bootstrap Space Colonization

http://www.marssociety.org/a/marssociety.org/www/conventions/2014/program-schedule

======================

Marscoin - A cryptocurrency exploring private funding to bootstrap space colonization
The Marscoin Foundation, Inc.

Marscoin proposes a public funding model for space colonization based on a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network, built on the Bitcoin code. It tackles the largely unsolved funding hurdles for mankind's space exploration efforts by establishing a global, supra-national, voluntary currency that attempts to bootstrap future Mars colonies, incentivizing adoption of the digital currency as a stake in the colonies' future economy. Individuals that invest into this "joint-stock" colony funding model elevate the exchange rate of the currency, in effect providing the early stakeholders with the funding necessary for the construction of the future base. A copy of Marscoin, which is in essence a cryptographically secured public ledger, can then be transferred to the new colony, where it becomes the backbone of the future settlement's financial system. This proposed physical transfer of all the investments made by the early adopters of Marscoin thus not only funds the new colony ahead of time, but becomes the bedrock of the planet's growing economy. By virtue of its intrinsic algorithmic scarcity and immunity to inflation, any economic growth in the future colony will be reflected in the rising value of the currency on the new planet. As mission milestones are met, adoption rates are expected to accelerate and therefore increase the value of Marscoin. The net effect of this increasing value allows mission funding to become increasingly effective as the launch date nears. This model creates a financial incentive for the early stakeholders to achieve progress quickly and efficiently, and for an engaged and directly involved public. Marscoin is a proof-of-concept exploring financially viable private methods in dramatically lowering the threshold for funding colonies beyond planet Earth. It directly involves the general public in space exploration as it offers tangible ownership of the project with possible future financial benefits.

One of the Marscoin development team told me that Marscoin is going to be featured in a presentation at the Mars Society Convention! So of course I wrote an article about it: http://bitcoinonmars.com/blog/marscoin-at-the-mars-society-convention/

  That looks awesome! The Marscoin Foundation looks like serious business. They have got some MarsOne candidates as well

pretty cool:

"#Marscoin is now supported and further developed by The Marscoin Foundation, Inc. a non-profit pushing for #crypto in space & beyond earth"

NOMP (Node Open Mining Portal)

BTW, does anybody know if there is already a scrypt port of https://github.com/voisine/breadwallet ?

  https://github.com/mars-1/marscoin/pulls - could be great time to buy some MRS :-)

BTW, 17th international Mars Society convention is coming up in 1 month with Marscoin devs giving a talk on cryptocurrency and space exploration!

Looks like a nice coin with a bright future.
The wallet is a big buggy though... Hopefully devs can sort this stuff out.

so after Mintpal delist is there no exchange?    Also the wallet doesn't appear to be downloadable anymore?

Is there any news on Wallet update?

What news?
