你们好，Lennart and James！非常感谢你们能来参与这次直播！

A：

Hello Jun, thanks for setting up this AMA. We are glad to be here with you today and are looking forward to many questions!

你好，Jun，谢谢安排本次AMA直播。我们很荣幸在这里，也很期待回答你们的问题呢。

Q：

Can you give our community a brief introduction behind the inspiration to build Marscoin?

你们好，能给我们简要介绍创立Marscoin的灵感么？

A：

James:

I'm sure Lennart is here somewhere and can answer that. I’m with the Mars Society – we are the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to sending human beings to Mars and settling Mars as a second home for the human race. I’ve been involved with the Mars Society for over 20 years now, and Marscoin is one of the most exciting and innovative projects that have come out of the Mars movement.

Marscoin is a fork of Litecoin which is in turn a fork of Bitcoin. Marscoin was started in 2014 by Lennart and a few other volunteer developers. Recently the team has been creating several new tools such as an online wallet and blockchain explorer.

We hope to use the Marscoin blockchain to advance the research areas towards the human exploration and settlement of Mars.

The Mars Society operates two research stations – one in the Arctic circle in Canada and the other in the southwestern desert of the United States. I will be leading a mission at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah later this year and hope to utilize the Marscoin blockchain as part of our research activities.

with a Mars technology focus and the Marscoin blockchain was a key topic during our discussions. Our conferences are always fun events -- at last year’s conference I got to interview Elon Musk via Zoom!

火星协会-是世界上最大的非营利组织，致力于将人类送往火星，并将火星安置为人类的第二故乡。我加入火星学会已有20多年了，Marscoin是火星最令人兴奋和最具创新性的项目之一。

Marscoin是莱特币的分叉币，而莱特币又是比特币的一个分叉币。Marscoin由Lennart和其他志愿开发员于2014年创立。最近，该团队已经创建了一些新工具，例如在线钱包和区块链浏览器。

我们希望使用Marscoin区块链将研究领域推向人类探索方向和解决火星问题。

火星学会设有两个研究站-一个在加拿大的北极圈，另一个在美国的西南沙漠。我将在今年晚些时候领导犹他州火星沙漠研究站的任务，并利用Marscoin区块链作为我们研究活动的一部分。

Lennart and I participated in a panel at our 2019 conference on how to create a startup company

我和Lennart参加了2019年会议的小组讨论，会上讨论如何创建以火星技术为重点的初创公司，而Marscoin区块链是我们讨论关键主题。我还通过Zoom采访了Elon Musk！

Lennart:

It all started in 2013, after the fork of Litecoin a few more themed coins started showing up and there were heated debates about the viability of any other coin next to Bitcoin and its “network effect”. As I was heavily involved with MarsOne at the time and a big supporter of space in general in the Mars Society in particular, the topic of what crypto meant for the economy of Mars came up in endless discussions with friends.

The crucial part was the realization how the settlement of North America was achieved. The pooling of resources and promise of a joint share in the future growth of the colony were some of the important drivers of colonization of a distant and alien world at that time.

Marscoin and its vision was born. Support the settlement of Mars and explore blockchain technology for such future life off-planet.

这一切始于2013年，在Litecoin的分叉后，又出现了一些主题硬币，其他币种的可行性及其“网络效应”的争论也相当激烈。当时我与MarsOne紧密合作，得到了整个火星学会的支持，因此与朋友也探讨了“加密对火星经济的意义”这一话题。

关键是如何实现在北美定居。在殖民地的未来发展中，资源汇集和共享的是那时遥远的外星世界的重要驱动力。

Marscoin由此诞生。支持火星定居，并探索区块链技术，是我们要实现的种憧憬。

Q：

James, In the blockchain industry, what do you think of the current state? What do you think that needs to be improved?

在区块链行业，您对目前区块链行业的发展状况有何看法？您认为哪里需要改进？

A：

James:

The blockchain is a transformative technology which is touching many sectors beyond finance and investing, such as manufacturing and agriculture.

My favorite illustration of the capabilities of the blockchain is: imagine yourself at a grocery store and you pick up a piece of fruit which is tied to the blockchain. By scanning a QR code on the fruit with your mobile phone, you could immediately learn where in the world that fruit was grown, how long ago, and its exact journey in time and space to the store.

I’d like to see Marscoin used in this manner at the first human settlement on Mars – as resources are developed such as creating oxygen, clean water, and methane fuel from local resources, these resources could be tracked on the Marscoin blockchain and easily exchanged using Marscoin as both a currency and storage of metadata information about the resource.

区块链是一种变革性技术，不仅局限于金融和投资领域，还有制造业和农业等。

我喜欢区块链是因为以下原因：想象自己在杂货店，然后拿起一块与区块链相关的水果。通过手机扫描水果上的二维码，你就可以立即了解水果在世界上的哪个地方种植了多久，以及它如何达到该商店。

我希望看到Marscoin被火星上的第一个人类住区以这种方式使用-随着资源的开发（例如从本地资源产生氧气、清洁水和甲烷燃料），人们使用Marscoin作为货币和有关资源的元数据信息的存储，可以在Marscoin区块链上跟踪这些资源并轻松进行兑换 。

Lennart:

It's a very powerful and transformative technology and most certainly on a colony on Mars where civilization starts with a tabula rasa many new experimental forms of organization are possible that are difficult to establish here on Earth. Personally I believe Marscoin on Mars could develop much faster the benefits of blockchain technology.

这是一项非常强大且具有变革性的技术，肯定的是，许多新的实验形式的组织都是有可能在地球上难以建立的。我个人认为Marscoin在火星上可以更快地开发出区块链技术收益。

Q：

How does the Marscoin team plan to tackle these issues to reach mass adoption? Let's start with your point on the developer experience?

Mrscoin团队打算采取何种措施以实现大规模采用呢？可否从开发人员经验的角度介绍下？

A：

Lennart:

Well, one of the really amazing things about the Marscoin Foundation and our volunteers has been the efforts to focus on building out tools that support the project. From various versions of Marscoin explorers (Abe, Marssight) to one of the longest continously operating online wallets, to pools and websites, tip bots and community inspired art - I think we saw a great enthusiasm in the space community to adopt the ideas and visions of what decentralized peer-to-peer software could mean for a humanity that's also decentralized.

Marscoin基金会很优秀，我们的志愿者也致力于集中精力开发支持该项目的工具。从各种版本的Marscoin资源管理器到在线钱包，再到矿池和网站，机器人以及社区艺术-我们对太空社区抱有极大的热情，采纳关于去中心化的P2P软件的想法和构想对人类意义重大。

James:

I worked at Microsoft for over 20 years so I've learned a few things about working with developers. I hope to help support the Marscoin project by making use of the latest & greatest toolsets and technologies.

我在Microsoft工作了20多年，和开发员共事，也了解一些开发知识。我希望通过使用最新最好的工具集和技术来支持Marscoin项目。

Q：

It sounds like the team is building something unique and special. What are some of the exciting features / projects you guys are working on?

听上去你们的团队打造的东西真的是很棒啊。那么你们的队员正开发什么令人期待的东西呢？

A：

James:

Well, we have been hard at work on a refreshed and modern website for the project that we hope to "launch" in the next few days at www.marscoin.org.

It will provide updated information about the project and links to the tools, resources and community that surrounds the Marscoin project.

我们一直在努力为该项目开发一个现代化的网站，希望在接下来的几天内在www.marscoin.org上启动该项目。

它将提供有关该项目的更新信息，并提供与Marscoin项目周边的工具、资源和社区的链接。

Lennart:

So this year a lot of interesting projects are planned - besides the regular (a new website launch, James has more info on that) and maintenance of pools and our existing infrastructure we are also planning an implementation for decentralized transparent voting and inventory tracking that we will hopefully be able to show off at the Mars Desert Research Station later this year. The one thing that I am personally most looking forward is the moment one of our community members takes a little USB stick with the Marscoin history and establishes a node on Mars .

因此，今年我们安排了很多项目-除了常规的内容如新网站发布和维护矿池以及现有的基础架构之外，我们还计划实施分散透明的投票和库存跟踪，希望能够在今年晚些时候在火星沙漠研究站大展身手。我个人最期待的是，我们将在火星上建立一个节点。

Q：

What is your timeline, and what can we look forward to from Marscoin?

那么你们的安排是怎样呢？我们可以对Marcoin怀着怎样的憧憬呢？

A：

Lennart:

Marscoin has had quite a history already - our genesis block launched on the 1/1/2014! Now that the project is becoming more widely known we are excited on building tools the early Martian colony will need. Especially a larger settlement as intended by Elon Musk and SpaceX would benefit greatly from property registration systems, decentralized voting process that have been tested and inventory tracking / resource allocation.

Marscoin也是算历史悠久了-我们的创世区块于2014年1月1日诞生！如今，该项目越来越广为人知，我们为建造早期火星殖民地所需的工具而感到兴奋。尤其是埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）和SpaceX打算达成的更大规模和解协议，将从财产登记系统，经过测试的分散投票程序以及库存跟踪/资源分配中受益匪浅。

James:

I mentioned earlier that we hope to use Marscoin blockchain as a research tool at the Mars Desert Research Station, where we practice living and working on Mars in a real-life environment that mimics Mars in many ways. We are discussing what specific research projects we can conduct, such as using the blockchain for voting, inventory management, or developing a wage-based economy amongst our crew during our 2 week mission. I’m very excited at all the possibilities that the Marscoin blockchain can enable!

正如之前所说，我们希望在火星沙漠研究站上将Marscoin区块链用作研究工具；在这里，我们可以模拟再火星上的生活。在我们为期2周的任务中，使用区块链进行投票。进行库存管理或在发展以工资为基础经济。我对Marscoin区块链可以实现的所有可能性感到非常兴奋，充满期待！

Lennart:

As James mentioned, our new website will launch shortly and provide more details about our current and past milestones.

如James所述，我们的新网站将很快要发布，该网站提供有关我们的更多详细信息。
