You are working on the third pillar of your system: Clandestine
Potentially eyebrow-raising traffic, both inbound and outbound, is masqueraded as harmless, boring traffic so that an observer will not be able to tell that a MASQ Node is even running. As I see here, you want to hide the user which uses your services, in order not to detect me as an user of your services. So, you want to say that at the moment I can be detected as a user of your services? until this third pillar is ready
“Our network is designed in such a way that it becomes a difficult task for an attacker on your side to determine where your traffic is going; for the attacker at the other end to determine where the traffic is coming from; or for the attacker in the middle to determine one of them.” this is an excerpt from an article on the MASQ web about network security, hackers are now getting smarter and added with increasingly sophisticated technology that makes it easier for them to penetrate some networks that even have god-level security, from this explanation I don’t see any systems or tools that amazingly great at protecting the MASQ network, if you may know how long it has been you / the team have been doing or researching the MASQ network system and the team that works whether they are really experienced in the world of blockchain or new and experimenting on this project like “TAD” tokens that are still in the experimental stage or just”experimental”?
Your vision is to attract over 1 million users across millions of devices and create an ecosystem of applications that leverages the decentralized mesh network. Are you confident about it? It seems like there will be no CEO to ensure no one controls the entire project and the committee will dissolve allowing the project to be fully decentralized. How can you persuade the users and investors to trust you? Is there any assurance that our funds will be safe? If anything bad happens within the project, who will be liable for it?
In your Greypaper, can you explain in detail the Power of Three Solution? Its three designed components (Encrypted, Untraceable, and Clandestine) What are their roles and importance based on privacy and security of the whole project?
Does MASQ network an alternative of using VPN or Tor? What is its difference between them? and what makes it better compared to them? Also how can I connect my device to MASQ network? Can I connect it using mobile phones or only in computer? Do we need to pay a fee to use it?
You mentioned on your site that the MASQ ERC20 token will be a pure utility token. Its primary purpose is to provide a monetization component within the Node software to allow micro-transactions between nodes providing services to each-other within the network. please explain us about the tokenomics of $MASQ token
How will it be usable and valuable in your platform and in the market.
What is the benefit of buying and holding it for a long time?
Several community members have reported issues using the Airswap with Ledger / Trezor hardware wallets. You may need to transfer your tokens to a non-HD wallet to interact with the Airswap platform in this case. Ledger issues are the fault of a third party. What is the solution to this problem, please?
You mentioned on your site that the software now operates with a Daemon (which will later be properly ‘daemonized’ during the OS Startup and be running in the background). The Daemon is basically a background process that isn’t connected to the internet. It acts as a root-privileged target of the UI and can start up the Node. It tells the UI where the Node is so the UI can communicate with it. Currently the UI is the CLI run from the Command Prompt.Which cards have been completed in recent months?
How can the world benefit from MASQ?
What is your plan to take this mainstream?
Do MASQ node work like a VPN?
Can masq be taken down/stopped/blocked when first launched?
How are you planning to reach the people that really need the Clandestine net..people in country’s like Nort Korea?
Is Crypto necessary for MASQ node to work?
When MASQ node net running different places around the world,
will the nodes automatically find each other ?
If started differently places at same times?
Could there be several group’s of MASQ net running at same time?
Does the project take into account actual information and details that are supposed to be censored? I strongly believe that some contents on the internet should be censored.
Decentralized governance, with a core group of people that serve as a committee but no one will control MASQ, doesn’t a committee defeats the purpose of decentralization? How do you ensure the committee is working in the community interest?
“When you connect to the MASQ network, your Node is switched on and ready to help others.” How do I get my computer/device onto MASQ network? And why did you choose to work with Airswap instead of uniswap? Are there added advantages you get in working with Airswap?
MASQ tokens power connectivity, and when people pay for your shared bandwidth, you’ll earn tokens. What is the reward? is it fixed or is it based on the market demand and the speed I provide? What is the maximum number of nodes I can provide?
MASQ have 3 Power goals namely Encrypted, Untraceable and Clandestine. So, is this the solution to the Blockchain problems like in Decentralized, Security and Scalability?
How do you plan to build a censorship-free Internet ?
Can you list some great features of MASQ that makes it ahead of your competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?
With centralized management, strict censorship is what governments in some countries are doing. So what challenges is MASQ facing in project development? Why did you decide to build MASQ with the spirit of “By the Community, for the Community”?
Recently you listed on linkswap. Why you have chosen this DEX instead of more popular uniswap? or do you have some special relationship with linkswap team? bacause you are making campaigns together
How are the results that MASQ provide different that the results that Tor Browser provide? Looks like it has the same end result.
The MASQ team intends to have a core group of individuals forming a committee. How will the members of the first committee be chosen? Also, is this committee a decision-making entity or it’s role is to give suggestions and expertise?
You have an airdrop pool that is not very common this days. Please tell us who will be able to benefit from it and when will it take place?
In order to use MASQ Node in Windows, the users need to build a “proper Windows eviroment”. I was watching the steps in your GiftHub docs. But maybe an infographic will be more explicative for some users. Do you have something like that? and what about an advanced guide for troubleshooting?
MASQ provides a solution to the problem of censorship by repressive regimes. I am in a country where censorship is the rule in every way. I want to know what populations are MASQ priorities to help these people to access all the internet content in the World?
I see that MASQ project was forked from Substratum’s Node project. Is Substratum still in existence? Does MASQ have any partnership or relationship with Substratum? Or MASQ just used the Substratum Node’s idea?
Why i need to choose masaq if have other services like thor to be anonymous in the web? Why Masq is better like others?
How strong is this service to protect me about hacker attacks and to preserve me anonymous?
On the three power goals of MASQ which include Encrypted, Untraceable and Cladenstine. Can you explain more on each of these power goals and how important they are to the MASQ Network and blockchain entirely.
How is the development of the MASQNode going so far and what are the next steps you are planning?
As you mentioned in the Greypaper MASQ is a community-driven project. How do you coordinate the different tasks? Are you all volunteers or are there also permanent employees and are you planning changes with this composition (new liquidity and new financial possibilities)?
How satisfied are you with the launch of MASQ on Linkswap?
Your clandestine feature is still in progress. It says in your web that traffic will be targeted as boring, so no one will be able to tell that a MASQ node is running. How is the testing of this goal going so far?
MASQ is now a tokenizeable asset to trade on the LINKSWAP platform. What are the benefits for both communities of this partnership? And how do you incentivize your community to use LINKSWAP to stake?
In your documentation you say that you “plan to have a core group of people to serve as a committee” however the word “core” already gives a little fear or rejection to the rise of Decentralized Finance . So, what are the functions of this committee? How much power will they have in decision making within MASQ? And finally, will this be something permanent or just temporary while the project develops a little more?
Approximately how much money can I earn by using the MASQ software for a month assuming I spend a total of about 5 hours a day surfing the internet? Do you have estimates for this?
I understand that MASQ works with our excess bandwidth, so I could infer that the amount of my earnings will depend on my internet speed. Is this simply the case? Or is there some other element that affects my earnings?
– Does using MASQ to browse the Internet consume more of my computer’s resources than I would normally do without it? I don’t have any risk of my PC breaking down if I’m using a very old one with very basic components?
– In your video tutorial on how the MASQ software works I could notice how our original IP changed, but what I couldn’t notice is if there was an option to personally choose the location of the IP we want to use. Is this customizable? Or does each user have a defined IP by default?
– If my internet rate depends on my internet consumption, or I have limited data (like when we use our mobile phone to give wifi), would it be profitable to use MASQ to browse? That is to say, could my profit cover without problems the excessive consumption of internet using MASQ?
I am very impressed by the teams progress in recent months and am excited to start using MASQ software in the real world, as im sure many others are. However are there any protocols in place to stop bad actors from abusing and/or leveraging the network to perform ddos attacks etc.
As far as I know MASQ’s mission and mission is to remove censorship but by providing access to the “uncensored Internet” they control and prevent the even distribution of illegal material. Which? And is it possible to configure which DNS server I can use when using the Masq network? And for projects like MASQ, why don’t you choose a hidden web, the web one night works?
Is it fair to say MASQ is more similar to the TOR network than it is a VPN? If so how is MASQ going to overcome some of the shortfalls that come with using TOR. Exposed exit nodes and slow speeds in particular. Thanks.
The MASQ Network is an open-source network that allows anyone to allocate spare computing resources…. What is the minimum computing resource a user can allocate to operate a node on your platform and how do you ensure that users are satisfied with how their computing resources are being used in your platform without the fear that more than their allocated resources are being used…
As a fork of the Substratum’s Node project.. can you are explain to us what aspects of Substratum’s node project is still active in your project and the difference from the substratum node project that is implemented in MASQ
I often use VPN to access games and applications that are not available for use in my country, so I ask: What is the difference between using a VPN and using MASQ? What advantages would I have by using MASQ?
Recently you published that MASQ decided to launch a new token. Can you explain to us what the reason for this was? What benefits will bring us the implementation of this new token that did not have it previously $MASQ token?
Will the MASQ software be free or should I pay something for using it?
An impressive amount of ETH has been donated to the project. When do you plan on deploying those funds and what do you plan to use it on besides liquidity providing?
Do you plan to list MASQ on Uniswap? And what about big exchanges like Binance? Do you think it would be a smart decision to list your token on both decentralized and centralized exchanges?
Can you tell us a little more specifically about the utilities of the MASQ token within your platform? What are the benefits for users of investing and holding MASQ?
I read on your Greypaper that the MASQ token can be used to allow transactions between nodes providing services to each other. Can you explain more about this? What kind of services can be offered on your platform? And nodes can only use your token for this or can they use other tokens?
Technology is of course very important, but you can’t do without a good hype. Tell us about your steps in terms of marketing. I know that you are very active in this direction
I have not used LinkSwap yet. Tell us about your listing on this platform. About your personal impressions, about the feedback from your community. Of course, in the context of using your token. And was there a pump?))
You are talking about freedom on the Internet, and at this time, Pornhub removes 80% of the videos from the platform due to censorship. We all understand that any encrypted channels can be used by not very good people. Tell me, is it possible in theory that you provide decrypted data about activities of the user on the network to law enforcement agencies? Is it possible in principle to decrypt the data from your network?
How is MASQ traffic different/similar to using Tor? I suppose it will be faster than the relatively slow Tor throughput? Does more users = faster network, more secure?
The MASQ project was forked from Substratum’s Node project in order to carry on development after Substratum ceased. Do MASQ still consist of Subtratum Network’s development team? Or are your team have any connection to them.
I understand the free (libre) internet is not necessarily free (gratis). How does paying for my freedom work in MASQ and also getting rewarded for running a MASQ mode?
What is the difference of MASQ nodes from Subtratum nodes. Have you added some changes or just finishing what the previous project started?
The idea of potentially eye-catching traffic seems totally great from you, both incoming and outgoing, is disguised as boring and harmless traffic, but what mechanisms apart from the aforementioned are intended to implement to mislead the malicious observers?
In your documentary include a small paragraph in which you stipulate that the MASQ Tokens enhance connectivity, and when people pay for their shared bandwidth, it will generate a tokens gain. How is this? This is a little atypical project since it highlights in the market
Do you plan to have a central group of people who serve as a committee, but no person will ever control Masq, here we are talking about decentralized governance, now they stipulate decentralized governance, its project would not lack its performance?
When MASQ? I can’t wait to use the software!
I understand that MASQ NODE users can browse the Internet open without fear of censorship, from any region of the world when the software is open to the public in general, if they are giving me access to everything as I take care of the malicious software on the network? Are you working with an Auditable Safety Company on or explain how do I manage the cyber security in this century where what was impossible is 90% possible?
MASQ is basically focused on promoting a community-driven network to provide worldwide access to a transparent Internet and centers, which function is performed on network nodes to obtain excellent performance and in turn generate rewards?
How much will be impacted my bandwidth if I decide to share it to people? It could be shared just to one user at once or to anyone who pays?
Is there a minimum connectivity bandwidth require or do I have to do some connectivity speed test to share my bandwidth to users?
Is it possible that I could have legal consequences for the actions taken by the users with whom I shared my bandwidth?
Now every child can change ip. What is really innovative you can offer users? And how do you test your network? Do you have volunteers in countries where human rights and freedom of speech have long been forgotten? I am wondering how you can determine the security of the network.Give the Russians the drawings of Elon Musk’s missiles, and if the FBI didn’t come for you, then the network is reliable?
So why the MASQ team have choose to stay anonymous? Don’t you think this can scare off potential investors, because I think anonymity of team member can increases the scam case?
Why did you choose to launched $MASQ in DEX Linkswap not in Uniswap 2.0?Is this true that Linkswap is also called the Uniswap Version 3.0? Can you describe more about the partnership of Masq to Linkswap? What are the win-win benefits and advantages for the both parties? Thank you
According to your article that Masq will have final bit of holiday cheer — the team is coordinating with the Linkmas promo and hope to announce some exciting rewards using some very cool technology with NFTs and Chainlink VRF function. Christmas is coming ,can you give us a little teaser and overview about the Linkmas promo and the rewards to be given to the community? Since you are talking about NFT, do you also plan to add NFT in the Masq platform? Thank you
I can’t found any $MASQ in uniswap, coingecko and other. Where is the place to get your token? And also is there any minimum price to buy your token?
I learn that MASQ node software can hide and fake IP from user, Is this true? So your software is like VPN, What’s make MASQ node software different from other VPN program?
Not long ago MASQ reduced its supply with 1M of its tokens which were removed so my question is the following … Do you have plans to continue reducing your supply as time goes by or do you plan to leave it like that? And why did they decide to reduce their supply?
If I have the necessary knowledge about SMOC and helping the community, can I apply to be a volunteer? What are the requirements for it?
Can you tell me the difference between MASQ and MASQ V2 and Why did you decide to do this update on your token? What problems did you solve with this decision? Can you tell me more about it?
I see there is different price from MASQ token in Uniswap and Linkswap, the gap price is really big. Can MASQ team please give explanation about why is this happen?
Beside from linkswap to get MASQ Token, I heard that we can also get MASQ token by using MASQ node software when using internet browser,is that true? Can you please share the guide how to claim MASQ token when using your node software?
As I understand it, Greypaper is still a passing, kind of experimental, segment on the way of Whitepaper? Which will constantly change and improve as your project develops.
When do you plan to finally release your Whitepaper?
Is there anything that can affect the postponement of the publication of the Whitepaper?
When I connect to the MASQ network, is my node powered up and ready to help others?
MASQ tokens provide connectivity and when people pay total bandwidth, do I earn tokens?
Here I am a little confused, do I make money by connecting to your network? And this somehow affects the performance of my equipment: a computer or a mobile phone (if I log into your network from it)?
Your software solution consists of three building blocks – the power of three!
1.Encrypted
2.Untraceable
3.Clandestine
All three of these elements will be able to work harmoniously in relation to the user in any country, anywhere in the world?
To recieve earnings for running MASQ node, one must always specify the same Ethereum address for earning wallet. What will be necessary software needed to be able to run a MASQ node and earn rewards?
How many nodes have you ever validated so far as Masq.ai?
You aim to deliver different solutions on OpenSource. One of them did catch my eye indeed as follows “Self-healing autonomous network structures” Could you tell us the vision here? What do you mean by “self-healing”? No human intervention?
You launched V2 on October 17th. Exactly 2 month-time what has changed so far for Masq? Could you tell us some preliminary results? What reactions have you got from your users ?
Can I use my android phone as a node when MASQ completely launch?
