Marscoin | Blockchain Inventory + Voting
In a project spearheaded by Lennart Lopin, Marscoin is a cryptocurrency developed in 2014 with future Mars colonists in mind. Built with blockchain technology, Marscoin is poised to assume a greater role in the larger development of a fair and transparent society on Mars. On Mars, the Marscoin network ledger can potentially be used for the following:
- Keep track of sales + supplies
- Property transfers
- Permanent receipts
- Votes
- Immutable record of ideas/innovations
- Immutable Record of data from factories, sensors, production
Blockchain, as a technology, exists is in its nodes. Each node (a computer with the cryptocurrency software) holds an identical version of the transactions. Crew 261 intends to install a Marscoin node at the Mars Desert Research Station.

RATIONALE / HYPOTHESIS
On earth implementation of Marscoin (at the Mars Desert Research Station) allows for robust interaction with various applications possible with Marscoin as a multifaceted blockchain technology in a Mars simulation environment.
