The guy in the video is the "creator" of Mazacoin in concept, but he hired someone else to actually design the wallet, website, specs, etc. Do a google search of him. Payu Harris. He is a Lakota indian and political activist. He did not just pop up out of nowhere. I can't speak to the intentions of the person who handled the technical end of the coin, but that Maplecoin sure looks like a piece of shit that would probably annoy the likes of Payu Harris. Part of the reason Maza has declined so much is the fact that Mr. Harris refuses to listen to the miners about increasing difficulty and implementing KGW to reduce the glut of coins being dumped into the market. He does not give a damn if the coin drops to 100 satoshi it seems. Certainly not the stuff of some guy out to make a quick buck. He is focusing on getting it adopted by the tribal council and is fighting an uphill battle. People have been pretty regularly confusing the developer from the creator of this coin because they are usually one and the same.
Hello, you are obviously misinformed or are spreading wrong information.
* Decision to not change difficulty etc is made by AnonymousPirate aka Master coin maker (lol what!)
* He is on founding team of both the coins
* Both sites are not only similar but are hosted on the same server
* Twitter accounts under same person's control
This goes far beyond hiring someone.
While I am not 100% sure of whether or not "difficulty" is Payu Harris' call, he sure seems to hold clout in that regard. So he is on the founding team for Maple? Huh. This post says it better than I could:
Here are some facts to consider:
- AnonymousPirate, Boxxa, and Payu Harris are 3 independent people. I've done some digging, and I've spoken to each of them through different channels.
- AnonymousPirate is the primary architect of the *technical* aspects of MazaCoin, Payu is the ceo/head whatever you want to call it.
- AP is the full controller, coder and otherwise, of Maple. Maple is NOT premined!
- Though not premined, Maple is suspiciously under-advertised for a dev so experienced in crypto launches.
- The Maza premine is controlled by Payu, not AP. For all intents and purposes, AP was hired (though reportedly not paid - he volunteered) and shared the vision/idea - he apparently was not/is not connected to MZC beyond the code.
My take: IMO, dev is happy to wait some days of low diff mining before he makes a push to spread Maple. It's basically an unofficial premine that you can't really be mad at him for, cause technically, you all could be mining it right now, etc. Maza was mostly a disaster composed of 3 failures: 1) Payu is unfortunately, seemingly inept at managing social media or assigning someone to for him, 2) the core design of the coin was destined to never reach its target price within the year - just far too many coins being produced too quickly, 3) a major hype spike happened while these underlying problems existed, and misrepresentations were made and spread widely - the resulting crash combined with problems 1 & 2 left the blackhole that now is Maza. I personally believe AP and Boxxa are not the same person, having spoken to them both through diff channels, among other reasons. Boxxa is certainly a close buddy at the very least, as he was mining MPL with 12+ mH at one point early on. I really think they're just trying to avoid premine bullshit while still building a bankroll to dump.
So what choice do you have? Well, either it will work or it won't. I'm banking on it working, because everything works in crypto ffs - even the most blatant, egregious scams. I'm betting on MPL actually hitting an exchange and having some value, which is why I mined it on release day and happily kept quiet as well for some hours. The other possibility is that everyone is fed up enough to just ignore the coin, let it die, and leave AP and friends with next to nothing and a failed dream. I also wish this would be the case, but ya know, from what I've seen in the altcoin world, I'm happy to put a small risk of mining time into MPL cause I'm betting it works instead of gets what it deserves.
Good luck out there in crypto land!
