MASQ X space recording March 21st 2024

MASQ X space recording March 21st 2024

All right, let’s get this going. I’ve made you co-host action. Hopefully you’re in here. Yeah. Hey, this won’t work. I’ve had some pretty good success with Twitter today. I mean, it was only one bad space where I got rocked three times. Other than that, it’s been pretty good. Damn.

You are a champion though, you know, getting rocked three times and still coming back. I mean, I think, you know, we’re past these green early first cyclers feelings, right? Where, you know, you think it’s all over the first time you get rocked. We’re like, nah, come on, rock me 10 times.

It’s all good. I mean, you got to try again. I mean, that’s the way I look at it. You’re not truly rocked until they kick you off multiple times. Oh, bro. And that’s a rocky quote right there. Do we have some backtracks for Eye of the Tiger or something?

We got tons of backtracks. What are we feeling today? Where was that? There was a really good one that I really wanted to share with the world. You ready for this one? Yeah, source it. We’re early. So this is like the early bird planning session.

Oh, man. I got the jam of the day. I want to know if you’ve heard this one here yet. What do you do with the Bitcoin besides it just gather value? Real estate developers in New York City, they’re not buying the real estate because they want to live in it.

Most of the people who are buying assets at some point want to sell the assets out of profit. People that use fiat currency as a store of value. We call them we poor. We call them we poor. People that use fiat currency.

So talking about what’s the new meta or the cool kids listening to these days. Well, it’s a little bubble, Michael sailor. That’s what’s going on right now. I saw that one. The guy on the DJ booth is wearing an astronaut costume, right? Yeah, that’s a little bubble.

Man, we got to have we might need to connect with them and have them do a MASQ one. One of these days when when you know at a certain timing that would be amazing. No, that would be amazing. That’d be so good.

I mean, yeah, he just takes he takes these little interviews and turns it into gold into things that people can actually listen to and laugh at.

Honestly, like is we need a little bit of this because we know you got green candles and you got red candles and people freak out during those red days. You know, well, it was bound to happen, right?

It’s not up only in everyone who might have come in because the hype of everything going on this year. They probably have to deal with this first real sort of like dip experience. Whereas, you know, people have been here a few cycles. They’re like, oh, 30 percent in the day.

You know, it’s nothing guys. Thirty percent in a week. Oh, that’s you know, I eat that for breakfast type of thing. They don’t care. They’ve seen it all before. I’ve been laughing at this whole thing, dude. It’s been really funny. I just been laughing because here’s what most people are not thinking about.

Think about the people that bought in via the ETF. Those are those people are not used to this type of volatility in a day. You know, they were at the training and there’s all the sentence like, yeah, 20 to 20 percent, 25 percent. It’s gone.

Like, can you imagine being the guy that’s like, wait, it’s all gone. And now they’re going, yeah, I want to sell it. I don’t want to be here anymore. You just get me out. They are literally the definition of exit liquidity.

I had a funny conversation with a mate of mine who’s like just watched for a while and he’s like, oh, it’s, you know, it’s super officialized now. Like you guys have finally done it. There’s an ETF. You can like basically buy it through like, you know, a proper securities equity and things.

So, you know, I’ll start buying some and I’m like, well, you know, you’re a few years too late, but don’t be surprised if there’s a local top coming because, you know, the Havings coming blah blah. And I didn’t want to overload the person with information that we all kind

Of know because we’re sitting here like living and breathing the space and stuff. I’m like DCA in and like, you know, a week or two later, he’s like, yeah, man, I got it. Like I started building it up and put a bunch in. I’m like, okay, but you know, we’ve had it.

We did all time high, you know, you want to kind of like be cautious. And then of course you get the message after the the week of sort of the dips in the red and they’re like, oh man, you know, I knew this was going

To happen, you know, what like how does it drop that that much? And I’m like, bro, this is how it is. Like there’s a retrace from an all-time high like I told you, you know, and they couldn’t handle it because they’re just like, you know, normal equities

You used to single-digit movements in a day and people are like freaking out of a 3%. You know, now you see a 10. They’re like dying. They can’t handle it’s a different style. And again, they become exit liquidity and that’s going to keep going. This is not the last time it drops.

Let’s be serious. It is not last time is going to drop, but it’s definitely not, you know, all-time highs for this year. You know what I mean? Like, yes, it’s going to drop. It’s volatile, but we’re going places. Well, you got to have the healthy ebb and flow, right?

Like this with anything if it’s up only it’s going to have a pretty violent crash when when it turns, you know, when the trend, you know, starts the turn and just like anything, you know, this is a value opportunity for not that

We discussed trading and stuff, but there was a whole bunch of stuff that I really believe in like high conviction stuff this year, like, you know, different projects that are starting to release products and the AI scene and, you know, games and all these things.

And I’m like, man, this is this is great. Like I thought I was missing some of these entering like it was too hot. And then they’re coming back. I’m like, cool, man. This is it. Like, you know, that’s if you’re calculated, then you can pick those

Entries and I see people calling MASQ for those types of things too. Like I just organically on, you know, on the Twitter space and stuff. People are saying, oh, you know, look at this amazing opportunity here. It’s coming down from an all time high that we hit in December, actually, November, December.

People are acting on that stuff. So which is good. I know you don’t give financial advice, but how do you feel about the MASQ token? I think we are in a really good place to be fair. I know people buying the top might not feel like that, but this is the one

Thing I can say all the time. Anytime someone asks name me a project that had an all-time high in November, December and that whole time they’ve had a product live to use, then they’re still growing every day. There’s probably some you could name but not many, right?

There’s not like off the top of your head. People just any normal Joe blogs who’s in crypto to start naming a bunch of them. I love how you like the like you got ready. Like you might be able to name some, but they’re not many.

No, no, I can’t name any right now, man, like and I’m in the space every single day a top at that time and still building and having a product that people can actually try out right now. No, I don’t think there’s any video out there right now that has what we have.

Well, and I say that, you know, I always put that little caveat because you know, there’s probably some obscure like who knows some defi protocol. That’s just a clone of some other leverage play or some aggregated return volt thing, whatever that someone’s like, no, this has been,

No, this one’s alive and this and that and it’s like, okay, well, look, how about a non defi one, the one that’s for like an everyday user, you know, there’s not not many. So, you know, we’ve got a lot we’ve got a lot going for us.

The main thing to talk about today is is the the next version of MASQ browser is pretty much in the wings. I’m doing a final testing round right actually right now. I had to stop that because I wanted to get ready for this spaces, but we’ve

Got that ready to go through the last checks, which everything looks really good and of course that will mean the brand new website is already live. The brand new links will be updated soon and we’ll put out a big announcement and of course we have a whole marketing campaign.

That’s like bottled up ready to pretty much go out. So it’s super exciting times. Did it crash? That’s really what I’m curious about. You’re testing it did it crash or is it basically ready to go? It did not crash.

And the thing is I also did this test on a date like a version just before this one and I was confident enough to put it on the handy con conference live as well and everything worked really good. I was quite pleased because you know, it’s like there is the curse the dev

Right when you demo a product how like the software is bound to have something go just on that time that you’re demoing it live. It’s just like Murphy’s law of software. It’s kind of you know, you’re always worried about that. No, I totally get it.

I mean you remember when when what was it? It was Bill Gates. It was unveiling Windows 95. He literally had to follow a script. If you clicked anything outside of that script, it was crashing. So he was sweating bullets up there. Yeah, man, imagine that right?

Like I mean, and that’s big game, you know, you kind of think about that stuff with how many people they have and building things and all that. And yeah, touching on that, you know, handy con was so cool.

I mean, I got to say it again, just instead of a few times, but their community is just such an awesome community, you know, like you see the energy of all the people involved the production quality of that conference that event, you know, being all virtual was like top-notch.

I mean, it’s even got me thinking with the team. Hey, because they use that platform air me which was like really smooth or all different sides of it were really nice. You know, I want to do that for MASQ and actually make that into like

A privacy conference privacy tech and web three and you know, get a whole bunch of you know, like minded projects because of different tech, you know, up and comings and just like I want to do that this year. So keep an eye out for that.

We’ll probably start planning something like that, which would be super exciting as well. I mean, it’s always nice when you can actually have people that think alike and are building alike in the same space. I mean, it propels everybody forward, right? That’s what partnerships are all about. Yeah.

And I’ve had a few of the speakers and then other panelists and like people that have mingled with me during the events and stuff already reach out. They’re like, Hey, we’d love to connect. You know, we’d love to connect you more.

What I’ve noticed is like the the most some of the quieter ones seem to be the ones who are like OGs in the space, right? And what they get enjoyment out of is seeing, you know, hard-working builders coming up and they get real enjoyment out of connecting them

With other network people or other projects or other because they see this like high-level vision of what things are going like. They’ve got this like 3D chess view of the tech and they’re like, oh, I’ve mingled with this other dude, which is like a piece over here.

Imagine how amazing this would be if that piece goes together with this guy who’s building this and look at that, like look at that potential. And so they’ll connect you with different people and different projects and like help you foster your your whole thing, whether it’s a user

Experience, whether it’s like, you know, two projects that have a similar vision and now you can make like an amazing platform, you know, strategic integrations. Yeah. So I got some of that out of that meeting out of those meetings and it was really good.

So we’re I’m pursuing some of those in the next probably four to six weeks as well. I got to say like, you know that the handshake community, they’re one of the least toxic communities in crypto. It’s super odd. Usually miners, they either go one way or the other.

These people are usually really nice. They actually like they secure names for a company. I mean, MASQ is a perfect perfect example of that. Like the name MASQ for us without us asking for it. Oh, it was incredible, man. It was just that was kind of one of my first interactions with

A few of their community or truly organically. I was like, wow, this is so cool. And they it’s just a nice culture. You know, you can’t buy culture. We’ve said that here. Culture is very important in crypto and you look at things that

Just have amazing success out of nowhere to like just the meme culture too, that’s a perfect example of a virality. It’s just unexplained. But people rally around something whether it’s a joke, whether it’s funny, whether it’s a as you saying is you want

To piss take like, you know, like like a meme where it makes fun of something it can catch and then when you’ve got something really value add for the world, like whether it’s decentralizing the namespace like handshake or decentralizing freedom like MASQ. It’s like that’s something people will rally behind.

You don’t need to pay people to do it. People do it because they’re passionate about it and they can use it and they’re like, this is cool. This is the future and hopefully more people see that and it does, you know, it does, you know, spread.

I think the only toxic thing in no, I wouldn’t say toxic. The only thing that there’s animosity about in handshake is to ICANN and I totally understand why because ICANN is like the gatekeeper of the underworld, not underworld. They’re like under the surface real gatekeeper of the internet right now.

Like that’s really the only thing that stands in the way of actual censorship of the top level domains is that organization and the wild things that people don’t even realize that and over like over the last few years, they’ve been a hundred percent all about making money.

It’s let’s release new domains and let’s charge people, you know, a premium if they want these exclusive names it. Yeah, it’s kind of a joke. It’s not it’s I’ll say it this way. I’ve made a lot of money buying and selling domains over the

Last no decades, but I still hate how the system works. I really do. Yeah, it’s really strange. And of course they say they’re a nonprofit, right? But then you’ve got all the people on the board who are running the show and they’re all like, you know, pretty powerful, but

They all get paid quite a lot and just to kind of sit on things and not maybe not do things that are kind of beneficial. Like when you look at the ENS journey that they’ve been having trying to get recognized as a root domain, you know aspect like just to get dot ETH.

They can’t do it. They just there’s been blocked all along the way and some people say look, that’s good. We don’t want to deal with web 2 officially like that, you know, we’re fine being decentralized. But if you just accept that there’s a wall there, it’s very

Difficult for people on the other side of the wall to even know that there’s a way in, you know, you don’t want them to have to dig a hole underneath the wall. You want to open the bridges and open the gaps. They hey come look at what we’re doing, you know, so they’re

Trying. I mean, there’s lots of ways through and HNS, you know, stands in a similar camp, right? They’ve gone full blockchain version, which, you know, makes sense. Why wouldn’t MASQ integrate with that because that’s the actual decentralized layer if everything else fails and as long

As you’ve got peer-to-peer comms, technically you can still make an internet work or like the original design and now you’ve got it secured by blockchain. It’s pretty cool. Like it’s supposed to be you mean. Yeah, exactly. And one other thing I actually wanted to mention that I think

Some people might have missed that segment. And of course, it was PSD time. So a lot of people in different times and probably didn’t get to catch hands handyCON. Matt shoot and I have to call him back again. He runs this web3 camp. He said it’s it’s in Cali.

He has lots of people. He said come from all over the world. There’s one coming up and he said they literally do have the godfathers of the internet that come and do workshops and talk to people like face to face like Tim Berners-Lee, you know,

The guy the original founder of the World Wide Web and all sorts of people like godfathers of encryption and they’re literally sitting there with like web3 builders talking to talk like, you know, philosophical debates about the future. It’s super cool. And I mean, if I had the means, I’d probably go over there

For one of them in the next year too, which would be cool kind of hard with kids though. But yeah, I was going to say that the kids definitely make it hard because if it wasn’t for the kids like if it’s so

Cal, you got to play some you got a room in my place any day, man. Oh, that’s we’ll be harvesting like the fruits of the labor of your land and stuff, man. I’ll be like showing recipes for you. I will brew some beer. Who knows? We’ll do all sorts of things.

Oh, I got actually had a buddy of mine that does that does that I’ve been telling him to come over so I can do it together. So I mean I got the resources. That’s it. That’s it. I mean, this would be the coolest thing.

Look someone has probably done this but imagine if you had like a mining setup and then the energy for that or vice versa would also be brewing beer or the off, you know, the off product of brewing beer is then used to mine Bitcoin like that’d be so cool.

Like Bitcoin brew, you know, if that becomes a million dollar idea, please please just send me a little bit of Bitcoin. If you guys someone does that like that’d be so cool. Yeah, let me make sure I can secure that domain name.

He’s already like buying the dot ETH and buying the HNS domains and like shit. I’ve just burned my next idea. Didn’t I? Bitcoin brew. We’ve got Alani here. Alani. He can help us with this. Bitcoin Brew is going for $4,600 right now, actually. Well, that’s a bargain, man.

That’s only like like 0.08 to the Bitcoin. Yeah, and IO is already taken. So like people are on to this and we got to look at this man. We get sidetracked with these cool ideas. But yeah, it’s good. You got to talk about this stuff, right?

Like you actually it will help the creative juices flow for other things. And you know, there’s a whole whole way that expands. Yeah, I mean that story of my life. That’s what I do on a daily basis. So let’s talk about X, Y, and Z all of a sudden.

We’re like in a bunch of different letters of the alphabet. But hey, it’s it’s there’s purpose. It’s beneficial and everybody wins at the end of it, you know. Yeah, that’s it’s so true. But I know a lot of people have been kind of really just waiting for this next release.

So we’re just we’ve been pushing real hard. I mean, I’m really really confident about everything. I’ll test it. I’ve been pretty much testing like all hours of the day building with the devs every every evening. I know I might sound like I’m repeating that but it’s because

It’s like happening that that’s how much we’re trying to push it out working a bit of the weekend as well. So yeah, we’re really really happy with the current setup. So we’re hoping to push that out ASAP, you know under a week.

Let’s just say I don’t get dates that I usually don’t even say that but I’ll say under a week if at the latest which probably means it’s earlier, right? I like to trick people kind of when I do give dates. But over promise under promise over deliver is like the key,

Right best way to do it. It is it is so anyone who does listen to this, I know we’ve got a lot of excitement and things moving around in the markets and in the project space and actually the Nvidia AI conference is going on people might all be eyeing up that

That sort of sector as well, but we’ll come out. We’ll come out with fireworks as an underdog as we do showing some cool stuff. So one thing I want to emphasize about this release the reason that’s so important is because and the reason it took a while

Is because we did take a lot of time to redesign the user experience and so now anyone stepping into the MASQ browser just gets to actually see it as a as a browser like an everyday browser straight away. Like we had a lot of setup steps at the beginning and yes,

It was under a minute and a half, but we realized like why I stop people with a few little hurdles not hurdles, but a few checkpoints along the way why why put those in there when we can just have them use the MASQ browser and then

Connect for the privacy tool with a couple clicks after let’s have them browse first because that’s what it is. It’s a browser right and I think people will be really happy with what they see now with that change of direction. I mean ultimately is about adoption right for you.

So it’s making sure that it’s easier for people to get on boarded because as soon as you have to say like we’re going to onboard you onto something like you already lost them. Well, that’s so true. Yeah, you talked about on boarding and even our messaging

Out been slowly shifting with the team and the marketing crew and our content curators, which we started, you know, doing a lot of alignment meetings and planning for this big push, you know starting any day now that is that is a big part is

Like instead of saying onboarding we’re going to say like, you know, adoption user adoption. How many people are, you know, starting to be a MASQ browser user not a MASQ privacy tech user a MASQ network user. It might just be a MASQ browser user because it’s all in there

But some people might not want privacy all the time. They you got people who like to do all sorts of things on the spectrum of privacy. Some people just want to browse on a cool browser like they like to try stuff. Hey, we’re going to capture all of them.

So, you know, we’ve got some lofty goals with this release in the first sort of couple weeks. We’ve got 3100 holders of our test token. Now remember every single new user who sets up MASQ and the wallets never been used, you know, with the with the test

Net before it’s going to drop them some test token straight away so we can use that as a very reliable metric to kind of look at like the user growth with new users and I’d like to see that double our goal is to get to 10,000 users,

Which is two and a half, well three just over three times the user count we have now. So we’ve implemented that into our marketing strategy and the way we’re going to outreach to everybody and starting to get some connections with other people to help push that so it’s cool.

It’s like this is we’ve been having lots of time to plan this. So, you know, we’re we’re very ready. So yeah, I’m probably being a bit more humble than I should be but that’s my style. Just a little bit, just a little bit. So when are you going to stop being so humble?

When does that happen? I don’t know if someone asked me though, like if you were actually, you know, a made person, I don’t know what made person means now, you know, but if you were like an OG like, you know how you look at a founder and you’re like, bro,

He’s a millionaire somehow. Like he’s a founder of like X, you know, blah, blah, blah project and they’re like a 500 million market cap or a billion like they must be made man. I don’t know if that would change me much. I don’t know. I’m not that I don’t know.

I’m not the type to yeah. Okay. Good. That means I’m that’s good. I’m going to buy more MASQ now now that I know your heart’s in my place. Yeah, exactly right. I mean you can kind of see though. I you know, it’s funny you say that though.

You I have seen because when again, we’ve been here seven, eight, ten, whatever years like you do see that that sort of arc personality arc of some people online, you know when they start to get real opinionated and they start a little platform of their worldview and stuff and you can see how

It’s changed. It’s quite interesting to watch. I’m not saying that you’re bad, but it’s just interesting. You know, I’ll say it’s awful. If you’re if money changes you, you got something to work on man. Like you got to figure out who you are before you have money

Because then when you do get it, you get to enjoy it. It doesn’t dictate how your life should be. You know what I mean? Like that’s the biggest problem in web 3 a lot of times that people do come into money rather quickly and all of a sudden

They become a different person is like, yeah, I should get a new wife and new kids. Like that that infuriates me, you know what I mean? Terrible to see. Yeah. And I mean, I forget who said it. You probably might know the person who did the quote but the

Quote where they say, you know, money just makes you more of who you already are. You know, like it’s it’s like if you’re sort of an altruistic person and you do care about common man and stuff, you’re probably expressed that in a different way when you gain wealth.

But you know, but in terms of the MASQ context, right, like I don’t mind saying it on air. I’ve hardly sold any tokens that I’ve had. In fact, I’ve bought tokens over the last four years, you know, just to be honest and I do it in a very like small way.

I’m not you do. I’m always thinking, okay, what what is it? How can it can it be viewed if someone was to look at and address say, oh, I found out that that’s Kaurir is like, well, what’s he been doing?

Like none of it’s done in a bad way if I was doing any of that. But what I what I want to summarize with that comment is that our distribution has always been pretty fair. Like you look at anything on chain and this is nothing to hide and there’s nothing suspicious.

There’s nothing worrying. We get the question all the time. Well, oh, what about the token allocations? Like are they all vested is this and that like what if there are whales that are going to dump on some like if you find them, let me know man, because like there’s nothing

I see on chain that worries me. I know most of the team and I don’t follow what they do, but everyone, you know, it’s pretty well distributed and being almost 95% circulating. It’s very hard to find that in the space by itself, you know, very hard. Where is that 5% at Kauri?

5% Oh, the 5% remain. Yeah, that’s the that’s in the team multi-sig wallets, the ones that are published on our documentation. So that’s that’s how we reward the developers, the contributors. That’s where we’re going to source incentives for different things like marketing, community initiatives, ecosystem grants that we’re planning.

You know, that’s that’s really small, right? Like that that’s that’s a very tiny location for team tokens. Well, that’s the resulting end to it at the beginning. It was maybe 34% or I forget how much it was, you know from day one.

Now after four years like that, you know the the the end amount, but you know, actually that what’s behind that too. It’s worth talking the numbers a little bit since you’re asking the good questions. Most of the protocol most of the liquidity in ETH on Uniswap

V3 and quick swap pretty much 98% last I checked this protocol owned. So that also means that those funds there are supporting development as well because obviously there’s fees, you know from LP swapping and that directly sustained the project in a lot of ways not that it’s huge volumes yet.

It will be I’m sure but yeah, that’s that’s a big factor. So, you know the assets of the protocol itself. They’re not owned by anyone. They’re owned by the protocol and the multi-sig represents the core team that we have a lot behind us, especially considering we did no raises and no public funding.

No VC, no IDO, no ICO, blah, blah, blah. We’ve done none of that four years later. We’re not broke. That’s a pretty damn good sign that I’m a that I’m a cheap ass, but I run a decent operation. I think that’s what I like to hear man.

Well, dude like you that makes me so happy. But like people don’t understand like when I talk to teams and they’re like, oh yeah, we’re not we’re not looking to spend money on this or that like, okay, why well, we don’t want to dilute the token.

We don’t want people dumping it and I’m just like so you’re you’re you’re pretty cheap aren’t you and they’re like, well, I wouldn’t say that. No, no like no, no being cheap is a good thing in this space. This is how you actually make it you want to make sure you’re

Not spending money unless you have to so like that is like one of the best accomplishments of anybody in web 3 being cheap. I love it. Yeah, I mean I was talking to my main man Alani the other week or just in chats DM chats and I was like, yeah, man, you

Know, I’m playing all this and that and then you know, we’re looking at this strategy moving forward and we’re talking a little bit about tokenomics and then he’s like he’s like wow. So, you know, you’ve done amazingly. Well, you’re not paraphrasing but amazingly well like four

Years running like Treasury Management is a full-time thing for lots of projects like sometimes they will pay people to kind of, you know, organize that stuff. So it’s a serious part of running a project and I think that’s certainly where projects fail is mismanaged or poorly designed

Tokenomics and mismanaged Treasury or doing stupid shit and getting hacked and you lose, you know, some of your runway it happens all the time and you gotta be really frugal in sometimes and especially during bear markets. That’s where you got to take action in certain ways, which we

You know, we did but I’ve said it before the art again the culture you can’t put a value on it. Like what’s kept us alive during the lowest times was that we had amazing cultured team members contributors community members OGs testers like I key the list goes on there’s so

Many good people that came in helping to lift us up during the bad times and now we can enjoy the good times right now and amazing times about to happen, you know, like it’s just like that’s the journey and yeah, that’s pretty cool. It’s part of the story.

And it’s and it’s kind of crazy because you know, we’re not all going to make it the people who are not careful the people that are not, you know, thinking about the bear. They’re not going to make it like I’m sorry to say that

But it’s the truth the people who are going to make it the projects are going to make it are the ones that actually do bunker down and make sure they’re cutting all expenses as much as possible when it comes time to the you know for the

Bear and they stick around they continue to build and they continue to deliver even when money isn’t, you know abundant It’s so true. I don’t talk about a lot of this openly, you know, sometimes I just feel like the timing might be right. We talked about it.

So we’re talking about it today, which is good. I kind of in light of our, you know, release. It’s like, okay, what’s next but to be fair if the markets crash tomorrow, we’ve already planned for the next bear because you know why we’re survivors.

We’ve already survived to bear markets were born in a bear market if I don’t have a fucking plan for bear market. That’s might be around the corner. I don’t think it is that I can’t let the project die. Like I guess there were have a core team and there’s a bunch

Of us but like I feel responsible personally because I’m the project lead, right? I can’t allow that to happen by not having some kind of contingency not having some kind of plan. So we’ve already prepared like does that mean it will happen and then you know something unexpected comes around sure

If things could still change and stuff, but we’ve already I mean we’ve got we’ve got a lot of stuff already, you know to help if that was to happen. So, you know, that’s why I don’t look at the market too much. I look at the overall macro.

I look at what the narratives are. I look at what projects are really pushing some great products and how they align with MASQ and then I look at the ecosystems where like not the money is going because you can you can trade shit coins on Solana and meme coins as much

As you want but you’re going to get burned right and the next chain that does that you’ll get burned too. I’m looking at the chains that are building the ecosystem without building the memes. So, you know, if you take anything out of today about the

Whole market thing is like just be wary of that stuff because that money money is going to go where money flows liquidity goes where liquidity flows just like anything else like energy, you know, so you got to be mindful these things and plan don’t have a plan you need to get burned.

Go easy on me. Okay, I’ve been making money with meme coins recently. So go easy. Somebody a part of the team on MASQ has been like DM me going go. What’s the contract address for this token that’s dropping? Yeah, no, no, they didn’t.

They didn’t tell me I should be sharing who it is. But I mean I do get the inside right like I jumped on the last two meme coins that I jumped on. We went up to 40 million as far as Mark goes from $4,000. Yeah, so it’s been your brother here.

Come on, man. Give me some tips. See, I you know, cuz I’m weary. I’m weirdly testing and building software. I don’t have time to do the meme coin research, you know, I need reliable sources of info. That’s me. I get DMs like I’m dead serious. I get DMs about this stuff.

They’re like, yo, you got to buy this. I was like, what is it? Well, so-and-so’s building it. So you got to be a part of it. I was like, all right, I’ll throw some money at it. So let it latest one was AVAX.

But yeah, I mean, oh, yeah, you know, I had some good good good plays on polygon. Base is the next one that people don’t realize base is going to be the next one. Yeah, base is is slowly. It’s like it’s like building building under the surface man. Yeah, that’s that’s really cool.

I’ve been looking at it very closely because a close friend of mine is a founder and they bridge there for their app. It’s a different different sector. And I was like, you know, there’s no privacy projects really in that in base and I’m looking around and I’m like

Trying to look at the grants they have and the different incubators accelerators and stuff and I’ve got context, you know, and I’m looking at I’m like, hmm, interesting. So yeah, you know, I’m looking at I’m looking around the place for on behalf of everything and MASQ because you

Got to keep you know, keep your eyes and ears open. But I think there’s a lot of potential there to like Coinbase has got a huge user market already. And if you can get headways through into that, yeah, there’s a lot of eyes. That’s for sure. A lot of eyes.

I think we got a request. That’s what I was actually about to say. I just saw it because I haven’t been looking at my phone. Let’s bring him up trade. Are you trade ogre was here the other week man, you know him, don’t you? Yeah, he’s a good dude.

He’s got a he’s got a YouTube channel and all. He won’t troll me. That’s good. Let’s put him up. I mean, I can’t promise that he might troll you but it’s it’s all in good faith. Good nature. That’s fine. I’m ready. How you doing, man? Are you going?

He left his phone on request and walked away. I wasn’t sure who you’re talking to. But you did say trade. I was not sure. Anyway, so guys, I just want to say thank you for your MASQ. I’m making some money on it. Appreciate it. I do have two things.

One is in reference to the money changes people back to that subject. It it reveals people because if you are somebody who’s all into church and God and everything else and church or whatever and you get all this money. Well, what you’re going to do is you’re going to contribute to the church.

But if you deep down love to party love to hang out love to have fun when you get that money. Well, now you have the option to do all that stuff. So in my opinion money doesn’t change people. It just reveals them.

Now number two, what if so on that point real quick, what if you like both what if you enjoy both things there you like to party and you go to church? Oh, you can still go to church, but just don’t don’t drop the wife and get a mistress.

I know you’re talking about I’ll let you know that you disapprove. Yeah, no, because like I said before I had a job to pay me very little and then I came a registered nurse and the price range was like crazy different and let’s just say I couldn’t run from air.

Okay, that’s all I’m gonna say. But with that being said, it didn’t change me. It just revealed me, you know, it’s like now I have all this money, but I’m glad that happened because now with crypto and the amount of money I’m gonna be making I’ve already done that already.

I’m a fun now. I’m just going to reinvest but yeah, and it’s so funny to you because people say it all the time. Oh like he changed when you know, that’s who he wanted to be. He just didn’t have the freedom to do it.

But now he does or now he did or whatever. But yeah, so that’s that’s my thought as far as money changing people. Now my second thing is in reference to MASQ. Of course, I did download the browser and everything. How does like earning tokens work?

I never did go back and look into that. Do you have to stake it? Do you have to run it as a node? Do you like do you have to put money in to to utilize like an earn feature? Is there a feature really easy all the cost is your first born?

I mean, it’s a real cheap trade. No, I’m just kidding. For you. I don’t know why you allow me to speak on these stages. I really don’t but we’re in testnet right now. So MASQ is completely free. It’s not something that most people would even think of

Doing but we just thought it’s the best way to stress test the network making sure that things actually work and is a viable product to go to a main net launch. So right now you are 100% on testnet you are you can serve it’s all based on testnet tokens, you know, so

You will earn but you’re going to earn those testnet tokens at this time when you serve you earn when you browse through the VPN you consume MASQ tokens and there is a essentially like the main reason one of the big reasons why we need a testnet is to make sure that

We are load balancing with would that be the correct term Kauri to call it load balancing like how much people are paying for the browsing versus how much people are, you know, consuming versus serving is that a good way to put it? Yeah, you did you did real good.

You did real good there my friend. Yeah, it isn’t testnet and but yeah with the monetization part like when it actually becomes main net token being used. Yeah, you serve to earn and you browse to when you’re browsing your paying and it’s all peer to peer.

So like there’s no central reward pool or something where you know, everyone gets diluted as the more people go on. It’s all like peer to peer. It’s imagining we are fundamentally different on a lot of levels including the tech from Tor but imagine Tor has an incentive model people running Tor nodes

To serve others would get paid when others are routing that’s pretty much what we have. There’s no staking involved. There’s no at least now, you know, there’s no model for that at the moment and there’s no like initial payment to I have to pay this to actually use it and

Earn it’s all sort of like pay as you go but we do have the premium features which we’re building more and more into that model of the browser where if you hold certain amounts of MASQ you’ll get better features or you’ll get something that we were going

To showcase in the next version to is serve only. So let’s say you just want to browse like your normal browser. No privacy network on no MASQ network on but you want to serve in the background. So if you are routing traffic you can earn that

Will be a premium feature so you can browse browse away do all the stuff you want to do through your normal IP have your MASQ node running under the radar like not on the radar but like under the surface there in your computer and if you’re routing traffic

You can just see a little ping ping ping MASQ tokens going into your account. Now, of course the earning has to the earning will be based on network traffic, right? So that’s why it’s always about users the more network expansion we have the more users that are

Serving and consuming obviously the more bandwidth is going through the more monetization is happening the more tokens that are happening. So what we look at closely is on chain. So right now we’re looking very closely at the test token chain contract just to see the activity and

Then when it’s named that people will be able to see wow, you know, yesterday was a thousand transactions. That’s a lot of traffic, you know, those types of things hopefully that helps answer a little bit. Yeah, no, that’s why that’s why I kind of figured,

You know, you just using the man bandwidth and because that’s how a lot of them are, you know, where they just use the bandwidth and you get rewarded and then for this one you have to hold tokens, which you know, that’s cool too.

But yeah, man, but I do say like I’m loving it. And of course action like dude, I love how honest you are man. Like you are so crazy honest. I was listening to you on I think another couple days ago and like you just like the honesty like

You wouldn’t expect that from, you know, somebody in your position. So just I love you for your honesty, man, you know, keep it up. I appreciate it, man. Then that I mean it goes back to what we talked about right talking about the whole revealing thing. Like that’s that’s where I’m at.

I don’t want to change one bit. I want to continue to be exactly who I am through and through. I mean, that’s that’s not going to change. I mean, you can ask Toki. I took Toki around so he he’s in the audience. I took him to a conference and I showed him how

Crazy people like to party and the way people behave and all of those days and we looked from afar and going yeah, don’t don’t do that. Don’t do that. Like I literally walked around and showed him what not to do. Yeah, you got to show him the ropes, man.

And these conferences can get wild, right? That was at the Florida one. It was my that one was a mild one because it was it was Orlando, right? And not my yeah, not my not Miami. No, no. Yeah, George. George was in his in his best behavior. Let’s just put it that way.

Nice. Well, second what Trey Dogger said, man, you’re super honest guy in the space, you know, I think that’s why people like you and listen to you and trust you and follow you, man. So yeah, again, like it’s it’s awesome. And I always look forward to these chats because

You know, like you bring out some of the best of me, obviously you squeeze the alpha in a good way to you know, got to get that juice, but it’s all honest and good stuff. And yeah, we need more people in the space like that. So keep it up, man. I appreciate it.

So trade intuition. Why did you download the browser? Well, I download the browser so that because I thought or initially all I had to do is download the browser, hold those tokens, put them in some kind of wallet or something. And then that way people could use my bandwidth

So that I could earn tokens because I love like just not do anything and just earning tokens. So that’s that’s how I thought it was going to work. All right. So I don’t know how many tokens you got right now, but whatever it is that you need to get to

That that premium feature hit me up. I’ll make sure to fill that fill your bag enough for you to have those premium features the next iteration comes out. How’s that? Sweet man. Hey, that’s awesome. But you know, that’s good. That’s good for us to hear with with how you

Viewed coming in as a new user and MASQ and like what you need to do. Like we should probably tighten up just how that appears to new users. So they know like hey, you know, all you do is you click serve and provided your router plays nice

Like you just let it run and you’ll be earning tokens, you know, it’s that easy. It actually, you know, doesn’t need a stake part which is kind of appealing to people to people like to know that they can earn without having to buy any initial tokens or have a certain

Amount of stake, you know, that type of thing. And of course the holding part of a certain amount will be the premium stuff. So yeah, we’re really going to flesh that out a lot more from here. This is the next version after we’ve already

Started planning will be up a lot of that too where like you’ll be able to see hey, I want this feature cool. You got to hold this much MASQ to have this extra unlock, you know, and it’ll be that game of five but it’ll give people what they want to see too

In the browser and partners partners will come in with with little loyalty features and yeah, perks and things. So we’re really working hard on that behind the scenes as well. But yeah, it’s as simple as serve to earn and it’s going to be pretty exciting.

This next version left a lot more people serve too because we fixed a lot of little quirks there that were stopping people. Yeah, for me to serve. It was a little bit of a pain. I got it. I got to be honest with the last one. I actually had to have it.

What is it like? I have a few layers on my network. I had to push it all the way up front. Let me just say that way. It’s like a double NAT situation where you’re rather behind a router. It’s actually triple net to be honest like because you have virtual networks.

It’s a little messy over here. Oh man. Now we’ve actually got another optimization not probably might not make this cut because I don’t want to delay the release any further. But we’ve got one extra thing. We’ve probably pushed after that will give people who more technical obviously you have a setup

That’s technical fix that stuff, which is good. Yeah, no my goal. I actually already have a computer set aside to just serve MASQ. I have two internet connections and one of them is literally just the backup and like that one there’s I’m not using it technically unless the other one fails.

So my goal is to serve it 100% through a MASQ and just let it rip. I got a machine dedicated to it and it’s going to run. Nice. I’m sure there’s a lot more like you out there too listening and coming into the space joining MASQ community

Because like you’ll be the you’ll kind of be like the anchor points of the network really people like you who might run it like that or run it in a cloud instance where it’s just dedicated to run not consuming not browsing or anything.

They just run it as a serve serving to earn node, you know dollar whatever just couple bucks a month and earning those tokens. So yeah. Yeah, that’s what I did back in 2021. I bought like five or six computers just to do kind

Of like what this one’s doing where I just you know, had my wallet running or tied to that computer and then he was just using the bandwidth and so I’ll turn a bunch of tokens. So yeah, that’s that’s what I want to do with this one too.

I just got to figure out, you know, just a little bit more about it, but I have it on one already. Nice nice. Yeah, and we have had chats already with them ways to make that stack a bit more with other communities who already run nodes like you might you know,

Like yourself you might have a fun machine if you could run several earning, you know projects into one you’re just stacking your your your node stack. Really you’re like making a node stack where you can earn from MASQ. You can earn from this other one pre search, you know,

We’re trying to work with them, but it’ll be super cool if we end up being in a node stack for lots of things where you don’t pay any extra to run your hardware or your cloud server, but you’re earning from multiple revenue streams.

That’s the key, you know, you just gave me the best. All right, you know what trade you can use this one, but that is actually a banger of a title for a YouTube video stacking nodes on a single machine and you know, for passive income like that. That’s a big one.

You can get some good views out of that. I’ll tell you I just wrote it down. Yeah, that’s what I actually want. If I have a 1% royalty on the node stack trademark, that’d be great. That’s that’s what I actually did back in 2021

Because with I didn’t want to drop the name or nothing, you know, but with pre search, you know, you had to have so many per computer or per IP. So that’s why I bought those like five computers. Plus I was doing the AWS from Amazon, the servers.

I had like 10 of them and so I was just, you know, racking up a whole bunch of coins and that’s what I like to do is just, you know, set it and forget it and let me, you know, earn that free cash, free coins. That’s the thing like getting in early, right?

Like that’s a key. It’s not only running those nodes, but getting in as early as possible. And that’s a cool thing for me with MASQ is, hey, main that’s not even out yet. And when main that’s here, well, I’m already going to be all set up and ready to go.

Yeah, you guys are at the ground level, man. You’ve already practiced setting it up. You already know the little quirks in there that were constantly improving. So you’ve been here the whole journey or like, you know, a lot of the journey, you know, and you know how it is.

The minute things go live, there’s the masses that jump in and like the people who were there first are already set up, you know, it’s like first movers advantage. Which brings me to a really important question. Toki, have you downloaded the browser yet? I actually just downloaded

And I got through the password set up. So it’s amazing. Pro user over here, guys. Hey, I’m moving fast. I was trying to get through as much as possible before you guys stopped talking. That’s good. That’s good. Is this password 1234? I’m not sure though. We got to double check.

Yeah, I don’t use simple passwords. No, he’s doing… It’s P-A-5-5-W-O-R-D. That’s a go-to one. That’s only how I work. Yeah, you laugh. That was actually like the admin password at GE Healthcare when I worked there like a decade ago. It was literally P-A-5-5-W-O-R-D. I’m like, this is just password

With fives instead of S’s, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this is not good. Let’s say it happens in military installations where the password was genuinely so simple that all you had to do is look around you and it was either on a post-it note already or on some cases,

It was just the name of the building. And walking to any place on part of base and just be like, yeah, no, the password is the building. And you’re like, are you sure about that? Like, I don’t even work here, but trust me, that’s probably the password.

And you know, like 85% of the time you were right, which was terrifying because… That’s amazing. …you’re on a military base. Oh my God. That’s a really good idea. I’m gonna start putting post-it notes on pictures that I take as if they were either my password or like, you know, my…

Oh my God. You need one of those fake Steve phrases where it’s just like a bunch of random words scattered around the different places, right? At least it had a password though. I mean, geez, SEC’s Twitter had no password. Those dumb fucks over there. And they weren’t even double verified with their phones.

So anyone can do whatever they want. Oh, bro. That is such a meme in itself. Like we’re living, sometimes I sit here thinking we are living in a meme. Like literally, you know, it’s just crazy. Well, hopefully in a few days you’ll be trying this new version, Toki. You’ll be reinstalling. Reinstalling, okay.

But there’s gonna be a notification, right, Kauri? The good old notification on top right-hand corner that says, hey, new versions available. Oh, a hundred percent, yep. We’ll probably have a demo, a teaser. We’ll have an announcement and might have a few extra people chiming in too.

Like, you know, a launch sort of push, which is good. We’re gonna have a lot of cool stuff going on. Tokey, you were about to say something. I cut you off. No, instead of connecting to the- I think you were saying something and I cut you off, I apologize about that.

Can you say that again? No, I think I’m good. Finish setup. Okay, so I’m finally logged in. How, are you guys saying there’s a potential for using this as a node? It’s so, especially if it just continues to run. Lay it on- It’s all built in. It’s all built into that one,

Like nice looking browser space that you’re looking at. It’s multi-purpose. It’s got the serving node built in. It’s got the using node built in, but it’s a browser. This is what web three should look like. What was that? As long as someone’s running this, it works as a node essentially.

You got the option to run it as a node or not, right? Like it’s up to you if you want to serve or not. So you have the option there to actually share your bandwidth or not share your bandwidth. So like Kauri was saying, it’s literally packaged into a nice little application

Where yes, you can browse via a decentralized VPN and you have the option of being part of the network when it comes to serving as well, which turns you into a node. Yeah. Yeah. So you can click a switch. It’s even easier and a little bit more intuitive

In the new version we’ve made. We put it all in one panel. So it’s like you click on connect and it’ll say, do you want to serve and consume or you just want to do one or the other? And you can just tick the box, boom, and it will try and connect you.

And if it works, it’ll say, great, it’s worked. You’re connecting and you’re serving and earning or you’re just consuming. And then you got your privacy on surfing the web. It connected you, right? Are you on the MASQ network now? Yeah, it says I’m in the Netherlands, in the ocean. Oh, no. Wow.

So I’m doing really well. Cool, man. So see, that’s quite cool. So you’re talking to us from your X account on the real place and then you’re browsing somewhere distant across the world privately, getting some crazy content. We won’t ask what content you’re consuming now, but I’m sure it’s good.

I mean, at this point in time, I’m literally just trying to work out a little bit from here. I’m looking at the serving thing, but it says serving mode is off. Oh, yeah. So yeah, one thing we haven’t actually said at all

Leading up to the release, just to try and test things out, we’ve removed the speed test as well. We’re not sure how that will, you know, what the effect will have. It’s probably not going to do anything unexpected, but we’ve turned off any speed test

Just to see how it works for most users. So you won’t have to have a minimum speed to try and serve. Obviously, if you’re in a place where your internet’s not good, you’ll just probably not stay connected because it will just disconnect. I mean, I’m wired in,

So I’m pretty solid on this internet. Yeah, you’re probably on fiber or something. And those are the types of users, you know, you kind of want because if you’ve got fiber, that means, boom, routing through you is like great connection, great latency, you know, good bandwidth. My next question then is,

So it says turning on serving mode has negative consequences, are you sure? And then it goes through this kind of explanation of disappearances. Are those disappearances with on this network? And is that just because you’re turning on serving mode that you would have those negative consequences? Isn’t that necessarily a bad thing?

Yeah, we’ve actually looked at changing the word. Well, that modal has been removed too, but the reason we actually had an explainer on there is because like if you’re running your software for a while, you might be interconnected to lots of peers in the mesh because it’s actually a mesh network.

It’s not like a linear network. You might be connected to up to like say 30 other nodes at some point who are routing through you, you’re routing through them, exiting, you know, passing traffic. So if you turn on a different mode, the node will have to turn off and then re-enter the network.

So you kind of lose all your connections in the web, in the mesh. You might not go right back into where you were. So we kind of probably use some probably more like negative sounding language in that little pop-up than we probably needed to, but it was kind of just saying,

Hey, just go to double check. You’re happy to just leave and come back because you’re going to be re-entering the network like a new in a new position sort of thing. Okay. But we’ll probably put a bit more education to that into our docs and stuff.

And, you know, to be honest, it doesn’t affect most people. Like if you’re running it like, say, for example, trade, trade intuition, if you’re running it like him where it’s just running all the time, you’ll probably never worry about that because you’re not necessarily going to turn it off very often. Yeah.

So Kauri, you’ve been hyping up this new version pretty heavily. I’m not going to lie, like expectations are really high. So don’t let us down first and foremost. But when it comes to the premium features for the next release, are we sticking with 1000 MASQ tokens? You have asked the good question.

We’ve reduced it to 500. Sorry, I had to do that. Tokyo, I’m sending you 500 tokens, not a thousand. No, but you offer a trade intuition before he had this knowledge. So he’s expecting he’s expecting the thousand, you know, I might have to fund this so you don’t go broke action.

Give away all your MASQ men. That’s why I didn’t say anything. I’m like, should I tell him that he’s got to like only give his buddy half? Like, is he going to know? No, but it’s actually a good thing. I think that it’s actually going to have a net positive effect

On the token price itself because more people are willing to buy 500 versus 1000, right? So if you want to try premium features, 500 is a very, you know, much lower barrier to entry than a thousand. So you’re going to see new users and new people, people that

May have already been in the network going, you know what? I’m going to pony up for those 500 tokens so that I can try these new features. So I really do like the 500 mark. Yeah, we definitely thought about that for a while.

We figured this would be the best timing with the new version and stuff and like having a different set of features we’re building from here and how premium looks, you know, what we wanted to look like in the future and keeping in mind when

We first came out with the premium MASQ premium sort of thing within the browser app MASQ was maybe only like 10 or 15 cents. I think so a thousand was a lot more, you know, like it wasn’t that big of a price point.

But now when you appreciate this much, it can be quite a bit. So we also thought yeah, that’s gets a good reason to lower it to we don’t want people to be priced out from some cool features, you know, yeah, hundred percent. And I think just to clarify things.

I am not in the background like sending messages to Kauri. Sometimes I do when there’s like funny things happening, but like I really did ask that question just because I thought about it like that was not pre-planned. We haven’t we haven’t DMed at all this whole session.

We see it’s like, you know, we’re on the we’re on the right level. Yeah, go for it. So I tried hitting the serving button in order to try and turn it all on. I went through the password portion and all that jazz, but

It’s saying that my node or sending forward on the node is failing and then it just reverts back to fetching my IP address. Do you know why that might be occurring? Is it because I need to change the node that I was on? It says test router port forwarding on port 6323.

Yeah, so chances are and we’ve we’ve also increased like the feedback on that. So like when you’re trying it’ll tell you different steps. Hey, this is what likely failed, but it sounds like from the version you’re on now, like it’s probably tried to try to interact

With your router to let you do serving because you have to have a port mapping on there and some routers don’t play nice. So if you click that and it tries to do it and the router says you can’t you know, you can’t open this port, it’ll fail that

Step because then if it if it keeps going and tries to connect you’ll just kind of be sitting there thinking it’s working, but the no other nodes can communicate to you. So it’s probably a router thing. You know, if you’re someone like action, you might have more than one router.

It could certainly be that as well. Don’t write on these just three. Yeah, you might want to have to take a look at your party. That’s what I ended up having to do. One of the reasons why I moved, you know, move the serving like

All the way up the chain is because I did have issues with double NATs and the ports was they were just not playing nice. Yeah, I actually have that issue just because of who set up the internet here. Yeah, it’s one. It’s one issue that’s so different from user to user.

It’s quite hard to kind of get around. Although, you know what we’ve tried to do is slowly build up our like guides and things like that. We’ll probably do a number of videos and then in this newest version. I know I keep hyping it up, but it’s because it’s got so much

Good stuff in there. We’ve even added a link in this new one. So if it fails on that step, it’ll say cool. You can try and open it yourself. If you want to guide from what we found the best guide online is port forward.com and they’ve literally got thousands and

Thousands of routers models makes and models. You can look up the guide and have a walkthrough for each router to try and open it yourself safely and hopefully that gets you unlocked and you can go. So yeah, we put a bit of thought into that too.

That was that was a thing that a lot of users are getting frustrated. They wanted to try out the earning getting ready for mainnet and kept getting blocked at that step. So a lot of work went into that piece too. So hopefully this next version to you’ll be good to go man.

We’ll get you set up. It sounds like all the improvements you’re making are really on key with what the community is demanding. So I’m excited for it. Yeah, thanks man. I totally please come into my, you know, jump into my DMs

Like come into our community be so keen for any of you guys listening feedback as well. The minute we launched I might even DM some of you and just say hey man, it’s coming out. Get ready and just give you guys a little cue and then you

Guys can try it and give us your feedback. I know if I don’t see it for a second. Let me know. So I will definitely will I didn’t I didn’t I forgot about portforward.com. I honestly forgot this thing existed. It’s good. It’s I mean they have so much on there.

I’ve had to go on there so many times just through testing up shit. I’ve got like six routers. I’ve owned now because of MASQ and and Starlink with some like custom modifications. I probably would have the warranty many times over on it. Yeah, trying to like fiddle around so anyone by the way

Anyone who’s listening and who is on Starlink they use a tech called CG net because they don’t have a shitload of IP address ranges. They share IP so you can’t pull it forward sadly at the moment. So unless Elon does some kind of major hardware changes serving

Won’t work for Starlink unless unless you’re like action and you can like multiply your routers and do lots of cool stuff. It won’t work out of the box for serving said but consuming works great. So you’re saying they need to try it and make serving available on Starlink. Is that what you said?

Yeah, 100% try it break stuff tell Elon let’s let’s tag him and invite him in here ask him to one of these days to help us fix it. You know last time was on a space with him. I didn’t take the chance to talk about Starlink or you know

Static IP addresses on on Starlink, but I’ll make sure that next time that I’m on with him. I’ll ask him about it. Well, the cool thing is that very very soon in the core software. We’ve got a piece that will be able to handle dynamic IPs too.

So you don’t even ask him going to don’t waste his time on static IPs, but buddy just focus on the port forward or getting off CG net and then he’ll know what that is if he could solve that or we’ll have MASQ link to the satellites. And that would be pretty cool.

I mean it is a technology that everybody would benefit from and I’m sure you know having Starlink having the availability to jump on on decentralized network with pretty stinking awesome. Yeah, truly unlocks the world no no infrastructure barriers no freedom barriers borderless browsing through space. How awesome would that be?

Cool and correct people correctly if I’m wrong just so that the layman kind of understands what this is. So when we talk about a like a double NAT lead means you got two routers. That’s really what’s going on. You got two routers trying to serve IP addresses and you

Might get blocked because you’re behind something additional right with the CG net that’s the same idea, but that router is at the carrier or whoever is serving you that you know that that the ISP essentially at that level. So it’s a it’s a double NAT, but you know it counts the ISP

As well, right? Yeah, essentially you’re sharing IP addresses that you see like if you were to ping. Hey, what’s my public IP you’re kind of like behind the scenes on their network table. You’re sharing that with like a whole bunch of users in like a subnet.

So yeah, it’s basically like a double NAT, but then again, you can’t direct traffic specifically to that as if you had control of your own router. So it’s kind of like a router. You can’t see your router. You can’t interact with it’s like hard controlled on their ends.

Yeah, and you just have your router here. Yeah, it’s it’s their router. So it’s essentially like if I had two routers, but one of those routers belongs to them and I don’t have access to it. So basically like having one of those Comcasts or any other

The people that don’t let you play with your with your hardware and they act like as if it was theirs all the time. Yeah, it’s true. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of those hard words are locked down. Yeah, that’s right. They don’t like people messing with them.

Yeah, but I probably have to round things up and get the kids from school now, which is awesome. I would say that’s important to make sure that you don’t forget about the kids. Yes, I’m very wide. I will admit on air. I’m this is the most tired.

I’ve probably been in a long time because the wife’s been away and I’ve been running the show at home with the kids. Solo, even the neighbors wives are like, hey, you are right over there. Like you want us to bring you some food? You know, are you guys okay?

Like not that they didn’t think I was going to be okay, but they’re like checking in on me and I’m like, yeah, everything’s fine. You know, just, you know, sleep deprived because of MASQ and they’re like, what’s MASQ? I’m like, just go back home.

You don’t know what you don’t need to worry about this. I’m private. So private. So private. I know, right? Yeah, man. I’m glad you like it. I mean, first impressions. Like, what would you say? Like if you said, okay, cool. Want to try out this new MASQ browser.

It’s supposed to be like a web 3 browser. Like is it kind of meeting expectations that out the box? I’d say as far as a web 3 browser so far, it initially is a little bit maybe shocking to see what all can be done just on on like the front end.

But as you start to like explore HP sport, it starts to feel a little bit easier to use. The fact you can like connect a metamask to it. You can start to make bookmarks. I haven’t really explored the web yet because I’ve been looking at basically how everything else works so far.

Yeah, even the country jumping and all that jazz. It seems very very much so as though it could be extremely friendly option for the US to enter the crypto market from another scene or maybe they can’t create the wallet. They want to so I can appreciate the versatility of where

It is right now. Yeah, and we can actually I’ll end with, you know, a little outro based on what you talked about with wallets do because more and more people are like, oh hey, you know, my favorite exchange is now blocking us customers or all the now doing

KYC like I can’t get in unless they use a VPN and blah blah blah, you know, lots of people are kind of almost being for they might have come in through those easy channels centralized channels into crypto, which is normal that you want an easy

Pathway for people but lots of people are starting to explore like truly self-custody wallets even Coinbase wallet, you know, they’re trying to bridge that gap a lot more but we’ve you know, I’ve been pretty vocal. I’m not super happy with metamask. They haven’t evolved really with the user experience since

They’ve started and it’s very clunky and you know, I feel like it’s a disservice to all the users who come into crypto and the first wallet they use is that is that metamask Fox you staring at them watching the cursor move around, you know, like it’s just like we’re better than that.

So we’ve actually shipped for the very first time. I guess you could say it’s a competitor. I counted is like an alternative Rabby wallet in this new version too. So that’s going to showcase as well giving people an option super friendly to use its multi-chain, which is the world

We live in everything’s multi-chain. There’s OG chains, but there’s lots of new chains and it lets you safely. It’s got a big focus on safety which goes hand-in-hand with privacy and security people. I think will be pleasantly surprised using it if you haven’t

And slowly move away from metamask for a lot of reasons, but also that user experience isn’t that nice. So why ship something that’s kind of dated and passes expiry in my opinion with what we want as a leading edge web 3 browser. So you’ll have some choices now.

So I don’t know if you’re Rabby user yet tokyo, but maybe I’ll convert you to try it out because it’s really good. Maybe maybe I mean Rabby’s Rabby’s good metamask is okay. I’m a frame user. I’m like a power user. I use frame to manage all my dozens of wallets like a mad

Man. I probably am a secret millionaire. Don’t even realize I’ve got some shit coins that are like worth a million bucks and some random wallet. I haven’t checked since last cycle probably. Who knows? I found 10,000 bucks dude, like at the end of the season. Yeah, I don’t have a story.

I knew it was so funny. Like I downloaded zeal when they’re before they launched like those guys reach out. So hey, can you test this for us? I downloaded zeal and they have this cool aggregator that will basically sum up how much money you have in all all different, you know chains.

So it will aggregate like how much you have on optimism on polygon and they’ll also do that for your NFTs and all the sudden I pop this thing open. I’m like, wait, I have money. I thought I was broke. Oh my gosh. That’s incredible. That’s so good. Well, did you cash up?

Was it was it a liquid or was it actually able to be? So sup. Yes and no, like I found out I remembered because of them that I have like the like two grand staked on blur. I have some random NFTs that are worth, you know, 500 bucks

A pop and like what what happened? How did these get, you know, so the value go up on them so high. Yeah, it’s it’s it’s been it’s been interesting to find things. No, but I write things up and then I write them all the way down until they’re worth nothing.

That’s how you’re supposed to do it, right? Yeah, but then but then you know, once you’ve suffered that so many times like the karma gods of crypto will do what they’ve just done to you and you’ll open up a wallet that you thought was worthless and they’ll be like, you know

What we’re here’s one one bonus back fee for the 10 rugs you suffer good, sir. And it was like, you know, some things and they go. Oh, I totally forgot about this. It’s like the forced hodling that we all need in our life, you know, one wallet at a 10.

We shouldn’t work hodl and it would just be worth, you know, all the losses we had such a good way to say it. Yeah, I mean for some reason I have like a grand in optimism that I never use is just sitting there. I’m like, wait, go up there.

Yeah, it’s all over the place. It’s been a lot of fun. Oh, that’s good, man. I found some in Phantom the other day and I just saw that phantom’s kind of making her trying to push another tech out and stuff and I’m like, well, we’ll see if we can do another Andre cycle.

Maybe I’m not putting more money in here, but I see some that I thought it was worth zero. So look at that. It’s amazing. But yes, within that same token, I did find lots of things that are literally worth zero. Yeah, I got 3,000 no 300,000 tokens that are worth zero.

Then I have another, you know, 850 tokens that are worth zero like them. Well, this one’s worth two cents and I have yeah, so yeah, there are those as well. Of course. Well, it was awesome chatting with all of you. You know, I’d love to stay longer.

I’ve got to run and do the pickups now, but hey, thank you so much to trade intuition and token so super awesome meeting you here today speaking and sharing, you know, some of your thoughts of using the browser and stuff and we’re building this for you guys, man.

So feel free to keep coming in and telling us what you think helping us build. It’s awesome. Awesome, man. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, no worries. No worries. And we’ll try and connect after this too. So for people that want to check out the website, the website is live.

You just go to MASQ that AI is that where they go? We okay. I learned something new over last weekend as well. I’ve done the forced redirect properly and if you happen to go to the old website, which is the old website now, it’s deprecated that will be going straight to masqbrowser.com,

Which is great. And if you do go masqbrowser.com, the newest website is live now so you can check that out. All right, buddy. One quick note. Make sure that you do the same thing for it. WWW as well as the root domain got to set a 301 for the root

As well as because the WWW does send us to masqbrowser.com but the other one still going to the oh, yeah, ping me on that if I if there was one missing, I’m sure I did both but maybe it’s not forcing the SSL. That’s all good. Let me know and I will fix it.

But yes, masqbrowser.com is where you got to go and check out the the links there and the install links now in that nice little menu. They’ll be updated with an announcement for the brand new one coming out any day now. So super excited for that and we’ll yeah, we’ll get all

Geared up for the next the next leg up. Awesome.
