I was going to send some more today, but I have to run home and take care of my wife who just called me saying she has gotten a bad stomach bug, then I'll be offline tomorrow and the rest of the weekend.

I'll do a bunch more sends on Monday.

I know it's a little early, but I went ahead and sent 1 Test MasterCoin and 1 REAL MasterCoin to CryptoBeggar, who was the first to post in this thread. Since this is the first EVER send transaction using my protocol, I posted a detailed breakdown on the project thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2940318

Congratulations CryptoBeggar!

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.
I want to learn more about this. Some coin might be fun to play around with if they are useful. I don't want to promote something I know nothing about, but I'll check out what you've published about it. I reserved a BTC address 1mcnAR4d5waaD1WaDfH1gU9BuGmCwNNMe.

This looks legit so far. I'm still skeptical, but I think I understand what you are doing.

That Facebook link doesn't open for me . . .

Maybe cause I'm not in your friends list?

A screenshot is fine too.

Okay I'd like some Mastercoins. Check out my signature, and I post quite a bit.

Great idea! I assume you'll keep that signature through the end of the month when the giveaway ends?

As with everybody's posts in this thread, I'll wait at least 72 hours in case you come up with more ways to promote the project in the meantime.

Of course.

Sounds interesting. I'll be inspecting this feature in future, hope it works out.

Um, you'll need to post a bitcoin address as described above if you want to participate in the giveaway!

Plus, you need to do SOMETHING promotional (like tweet about this project) within 72 hours of your post (then edit your post to link to what you did).

BTW, I haven't done anything deserving so far but here is my BTC address:

Oh good, you updated your post. Thanks!

Should we post a MasterCoin address for you?

If so,

Thanks in advance

Wrong MasterCoin Smiley

See the note at the very top of the first post. This MasterCoin came first, and is something VERY different.

The first qualifying posts will be 72 hours old tomorrow, so the first transfers will happen then. After that, the next payouts will probably have to wait until Monday.

thx  Smiley

EDIT:

I upvoted the Reddit threads.

I put it into my signature and will keep it there for a while at least for 2 months.

I posted on Twitter:

I introduced the project on alternative social networks (most members very privacy-aware, advocating decentralization, linux and free software)

I just funded the giveaway account with 527.98694444 MasterCoins (purchased for 4.2 BTC). Come and get them!

Here is the transaction:

does it have to be the same Bitcoin address with which I "invested" into MasterCoin? What effect does it have if I do/don't use the same address?

You can use the same address, or a different one. Your having some MasterCoins at that address won't prevent me from transferring some more to you Smiley

Because of how this is built, it exploits everyone's contributed hashpower without returning anything to those that don't opt-in to the system.

Please consider very carefully the possible issues this will cause, including possible "hard fork" scenarios if this method of alt-coining becomes popular.

There are hazards here that bear careful consideration, don't let the overall 'protocol' description throw you - this is a "Tragedy of the Commons" in the making (Common resources used without consideration for those who choose otherwise).

You've been warned.

I explicitly designed this system to be censorship resistant (that is, it would be really hard to design a code change to bitcoin that would make MasterCoin unusable).

That said, MasterCoin pays for resources used via transaction fees, and everyone holding bitcoins will benefit if MasterCoins become popular.

Anybody else up for free coins? I just need an address and some proof that you helped promote the project. Even just tweeting about it counts.

History suggests that there should be a few hundred posts on a thread like this, but if things remain slow here those who did post will end up with a lot of coins!
