Forked from Zetacoin in March 2014, MazaCoin (Symbol: MZC) is a distributed open-source digital currency. It was conceived as a result of signing a memorandum of understanding with the Oglala Sioux Tribe, a native American tribe in North America. There is an inscription placed into the genesis block to remind the members about the reasons behind creating MazaCoin. It reads: “The Black Hills are not for sale. 1868 is the LAW!” which refers to the Sioux treaty with the US government signed in 1868. The coin employs the proof-of-work consensus mechanism with a total of 2.4192 billion coins mined during the first five years and after that followed by 1 million coins per year.
