exactly.. WHO is he ?
he hasn't mattered in years LOL

i doubt there is a back door so much i can't be bothered to even look. LOL

There is a rumoured NSA backdoor in Maxcoin, but like yourself, I'm not too bothered about it. Keccak (Sha-3) Maxcoin utilises the NSA sponsored Secp256r1 curve. http://chrispacia.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/nsa-backdoors-and-bitcoin/

I do not think that this is necessarily a bad thing since it would tend to ensure that Maxcoin is used for legitimate purposes and therefore be more readily accepted by society as viable currency. It might also deter potential perpetrators of so-called '51% attacks'  in the knowledge that they might easily be traced. Surveillance is a fact-of-life that we have to live with in this rapidly changing world. It could be argued that Secp256r1 makes Maxcoin more secure than coins not using it.

If there is any real danger in the misuse of Secp256r1 it is likely to come from anonymous developers, assuming the unlikely scenario that they had the know-how to exploit any 'backdoor'. The developers of Maxcoin are anything but anonymous.

Realsolid claims there is a backdoor in maxcoin code. Any official statements ?


A back door for what, for devs to get more free coins.

Oh,  Max Keiser.

i think i am mining about 50% less coins roughly on my one old nvidia GPU (550Ti Fermi)
and that is a faaaar cry from 10x less as the other guy just said lol
I was averaging about 2 coins per day on it and now about 1 coin i think so..

and uhhhh yeah... that is what happens when the block reward is cut guys
and so far the price has not changed since before the block reward cut but it has held steady.
but it's worth pointing out how the previous price was pumped up and it was skidding along for ages at half of what it was now before the reward cut.

there was problems a while back and they are fixed it seems ..my wallet works fine.
but it seems the block reward got cut and the price did not go up in response.
that is a market issue i think and not so much a broken coin problem needing the developer to fix something.

Strange, yet attractive.
It seems that everything is working stably now.
But the mining yield is very low, maybe the price will go up.
The mining profits are ridiculous at this moment. It's a pity, really. Also MCXNow wallet is down, you can't send in MAX, I've sent some and it's been in limbo for about a week now. I truly think I will switch my rigs off or turn them elsewhere.  Undecided Sad

You can use bittrex instead mcxnow
Yeah, Cryptsy too, that's not the problem. The problem is that somehow with the same gear I'm mining about 1/10 of what I previously did, and there's not a feasible way to entertain my frustration, since I believed that MAX was something that really had *that* something when it got out. It turned out to be nothing more than a great hype that Max Keiser introduced and materialized.

MCXnow was a great exchange to work with and it really had that "pro" feeling since the very start. Now the op is away in EU and he's coming back "in two weeks" (that's about after the end of the week if I remember correctly). After all these, today their https certificate is out of date (attack?...) I'm really seeking into mining something else and I'll do this with great sadness.

MAX REALLY could do miracles if it was treated correctly. Sad

After new logo, something bad happened and happened.
Things are getting worse.  Sad

How long since last block found?

35 hours.  Grin

Well, good way to stop inflation in its tracks.  haha.

Correct, let's put MAX into winter hybernation! Enough of those bears already!  Cheesy
