Re: New fork: Marycoin. Opportunity to start from scratch!June 01, 2018, 05:37:45 AM

Friends!
Today, at 0 hours 10 minutes, exactly one year has passed since the full launch of the Marikoin project.
I'll remind you how it all began:
May 23, 2017 announcement of the coin. In the announcement it was reported that the coins will have an almost identical bitcoin code and the coin will not have any prema.
As far as I know, a year ago the issue of coins with absolutely no prema was an extreme rarity, if not to say a unique case at all. It was this fact that drew attention to Marikoin.
On May 27, 2017, the client was compiled and written to the blocking zero (genesis) block
https://marycoin.net/block/00000000445999647df11eba1ac9c2fbb52c5c271417292e13b3282d004a3dc3 On June 1, 2017, at zero o'clock Moscow time, the source code and compiled files of Marikoin were published. Began to run the processors.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1929459.msg19298778#msg19298778 In the first version, Marikoin could be thrashed directly with a purse.
After 10 minutes the first block was found
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1929459.msg19298905#msg19298905 From this moment began the life of the blockade of Marikoin, which continues successfully today and of course will continue for a very long time Smiley
I do not know what can be considered the birthday of Marikoin: the date of the announcement, the date of recording the genesis of the block or the date of the first block, so I decided to wait for all these dates, to wait on June 1 and congratulate all those who continue to support this project and believe in it
Happy Birthday!
The main complaint to the new cryptonyms is that they can not be bought with anything and therefore they are only suitable for stock speculation.
Marikoin from the very first announcement positioned itself as a coin for everyday payments. For this, together with the coin, the p2p exchange service for the currency and the cell phone payment service was simultaneously launched.
To date, the priority for the community is the development of its own exchange, where the main means of payment is Marikoin.
https://trade.multicoins.org/ The exchange is still young and inexperienced, but there are already more than 800 unique users registered with checked mail and trades are successfully going around the clock seven days a week.
Nevertheless, new ideas and projects related to Marikoin continue to appear and will appear in the future.
Today I want to announce a new (one more) direct exchange service of Marikoin to Yandex rubles, as well as the replenishment of the Marikoinas by the cellular phone balance of Russian operators.
https://mc-rub.multicoins.org Unlike the long-running similar service, in the new version you do not need to register and make a deposit. The exchange takes place in a fully automatic mode, through the interaction of the Yandex-Money service and the Marikoin blocking.
The purchase of Marikoin occurs within a minute.
The sale of the Maricones and the payment of the phone (the transfer of rubles to the buyer's account) is completed after three confirmations of the transaction of Marikoin in the detachment.
