As I sit here contemplating everything that has happened with this launch, including:
1. Convenient DDOS attack on bitcointalk, allowing time for cudaminer version to be built
2. Incomplete and non-functional software released to most people that wanted to mine, allowing insiders to "not pre-mine, but really pre-mine" the coin
3. Convenient DDOS attacks on pools, limiting coins earned
4. Coins missing from pools
5. Manipulated exchanges driving coin prices
I start to wonder what the next scam will be that's perpetrated here. And so, I'd like to offer 1 VTC or 1 UTC (your choice, both coins are far superior to this one) to the person that accurately predicts what scam comes next. If everything is smooth sailing from here out - great! I'm almost in awe of everything that's happened so far, though, so I'm just eagerly waiting to see what comes next.

I keep saying this was the best disguised pre-mine ever.
Edit: But can anyone on this board complain about that?
Yes, complaints are warranted.
Its one thing messing around on btctalk with this failure, where people should know better, but its another thing doing what Max did which was trying to sell it to the "common joe" who doesnt know better.
Dont forget, the ultimate goal is to get cryptos mainstream, which wont happen with this nonsense that happened the last few days
I hear what you are saying, but I have to strongly disagree. Doesnt matter what max does, if he made some cash off the launch then all good. The problem is the folks that were buying 1 maxcoin at 40$,20$, 4$, 2$ and so on based on his hype and statemants that maxcoin will go to "30$-40$". This would mean a market cap higher than LTC and half of BTC (not happening). They will see their investment disappear. This will create a bad name to the crypto community (which it already has). Yes lets make money now, but without killing this crypto project for the future
"Yes lets make money now, but without killing this crypto project for the future" - this, exactly. I'm all for making money. But I'm not for ruining the reputation of crypto. This is public now, Keiser is making it even more public, and every one of these "non-crypto" people that are rushing to get money onto exchanges so they can buy this are going to end up hating it. It's like the people that bought BTC at 1200. If they aren't traders, they've lost a lot of money. These people will too, and Max Keiser will continue to spread his message without any thought about the damage he's doing. Pisses me off.
