RE: Investigating the competition Part 1 🔎 Mask Network [TLDR: SCAM!]
Hmm... Where to begin. Ok well some of what you say has no meaning. No crypto currency is written in php.... facepalm The reason everything costs mask is so ot shows up on the blockchain that is how it works. Every actio. Is recorded on the block chain so obviously to appear there , there must be a charge made. Im not very impressed with mask network either. Most of their stuff soesnt work and glitches. I cant even change my address name like you could. I also bought some mask and they were wuick to get back to me like 6 hours. Then i waited 4 days !!! 4 @#$%ing days !! The onpg reason they got back to me was because i sent 6 tweets on their wall asking wtf is going on amd i pm the dev twice on bitcointalk as well as post on each of their forums. Finally the next day i fet a message saging i got my money. They never even opologised. So yes masknetwork is crap. Dunno about a scam but certainly it is shit. I was very pissed off. Best thong to do is blow up their spcial media pages ehich i will do again of they mess me around more. Good article. Will follow and keep up with you.
Where to begin indeed.
If you read the words around PHP in the post you'll see the lead developer saying he used php . Or the screenshot of the PHP error I encountered that would confirm that reality.
Every action is recorded on the blockchain in steem too, without constantly asking the user for money or requiring the user to buy-in . The added element of repeated costs over time makes the masknetwork user have to actually budget over time for even simple things like following somebody.
Sorry to hear you got burned too, did they actually send you the mask coin or refund your btc ? (Or just message about it)
"more" - are you still using masknetwork ?
Your feedback is inconsistent , and you facepalmed me because you got confused again. Will you turn randomly hostile on me too if you can't understand how replies work ?
A web node has 3 components.
A java module that maintain the connectivity to the network and does all the "ugly stuff" like encryption, message signing and so on.
The database (it can be mysql, oracle ...). The database stores all the blockchain data and acts as link between the java node and the web interface.
The web interface written in PHP. The interface uses the db to communicate with java node. It's just the frontend.
In cocnclussion masknetwork is written in java but uses php for the frontend. It's a very flexible architecture. We made tests where the web interface was hosted on a server, the db on another and the java node on yet another server.
Yes thank you. Someone who knows what is going on.
You seem to think i didnt already understand this, reread my responses were saying the same thing, except your being a condescending dickhead.
Php is for websites not wallets. That error has nothong to do with how the wallet is programs. Omg.
No i face palmed you because you think a currency is written in php. I did read amd he clearly says java. Php is for the output. Obviously you cant wrote a fork and node in php. Most use c++ I think you can use java bit he is talking about a java kernal. This display error just means the target can ot be found in the specific directory. You see thst error alot when you stsrt making website interfaces. For a normal page you will just use .html not .php so if you want to use an api you have to have a .php
He uses php, java and mysql together - and the website IS the wallet.
Its also far from the first currency written in php, see neoscoin for a 2014 php-only coin.
Ive been coding since I was a kid and have read the source code of at least dozens if not hundreds of shitcoins.
I have more trouble decyphering your responses, then the php error. If this isnt a language barrier could you try reading your own responses first because this is painful to read, and after looking at your comment history it doesnt get better..
The best bit about Steem WP is the part about how they got around to charging processing fees for any interaction with the blockchain. That part in itself is pretty revolutionary!
