Will there be a P2Pool implemenation of the SHA-3, or any Keccak python module available at launch?
Let me guess....... Nope! If there was, however, I'm willing to set up a node so pm me if you modify it.

Can someone post some links on how to create a botnet so I can get in on this. I have Kali Linux and I can probably get a Cantenna to work so I can steal Wi-Fi.

Honestly, I really give up on all of these coins. It's all pretty much a waste of electricity unless you are a criminal. I honestly don't see how making botnet operators rich benefits society.

I will try to mine it though... maybe I can get in on the first 15 seconds and turn a profit.





Cry much? Seriously if you want to know how to do something immoral google it. I have 7 computers in my house which will all be mining day 1. Shame I don't have my server anymore though.

Is it possible to mine with GPU?

not right at the start, once the coin has launched then a gpu miner can be created.

Another cloned useless crypto that brings nothing interesting to the table. There are several coins out there asic-mining resistant (for now).

Considering this coin will be CPU-only at launch, are you not worried about botnets having a high % of hashing power compared to the "average" miner?

With scrypt variants this is less of an issue, with coins that have CPU mining only the reward for mining for the average Joe is very limited.


With CPU mined coins like this one, are these botnets (trojan-like viruses that use your CPU without you knowing) probably spring up and mine this too?


BTW, MaxCoin will be traded soon on Coins-E (https://www.coins-e.com/?ref=6397483995365376)

Not too sure about these 30 second blocks. What's the maximum block size?

What is it that gives long term value to a coin?

GOOD INITIAL DISTRIBUTION VS BAD INITIAL DISTRIBUTION
MINE VS PRE MINE
INNOVATIVE COIN VS CLONE COINS


Give every man on earth 1 MAX COIN and they will flow all back in the smart ones pocket.

Funny all the haters on this thread!   Cheesy

I asic mine but welcome a fair PCU launch of an alt...

The press this will get (duh) and the connections that Max has (duh again) will make this a valuable and usable alt. in short order quickly eclipsing all other alts.

IMHO

At block 200 the Kimoto Gravity Well implementation will take over the retargeting. You can read more about KGW and it's benefits against pool hopping issues (such as coins stuck in high difficulty) here.
This link doesn't work? can you fix it please? I'm rather keen to learn more about this coin. It sounds very interesting, I will watch with interest and have a go at mining. Thanks

yea, the Megacoin website megacoin.co.nz is down right now. you can read about the Kimoto Gravity Well in the first post here: http://forum.megacoin.in/index.php?topic=893.0

Since you mined the Genesis Block live on the air, what proof do we have that you or even Max Keiser are not pre-mining the shit out of MaxCoin this moment?  Do you have a block explorer online so that we can keep an eye on the blockchain and make sure you are actually honest?  This launch is not transparent. You are behaving in a shady and un-trustworthy fashion. And your glaring arrogance and failure to address this community in a humble and forthright manner leads me to believe that you can in no way be trusted.


The Keiser report 'live' launch failed... Did anyone notice the major boo boo during the 'Live' 'Maxcoin' Launch?

After the big build up announcing they were going to launch the coin live on air and record the actual moment that the MAXCOIN genesis block was created... the camera man zoomed in over the shoulder of the guy who was at the controls to catch the computer screen in close-up (see screen grab below)... and instead of the genesis block being created the Message on screen clearly stated:

So the Genesis Block was never actually created on the show... so no pre-mining is currently being done as suggested above... these guys are trying their best to create a level playing field for everyone... but has the botnet issue been addressed yet?


Obviously neither of these people bothered to read the OP lol

Read the OP, this point is addressed.

TL;DR (and you clearly didn't) - this is normal when mining the genesis block.

Ah... thanks for that info... so to get this straight... the failed/aborted message is part of the creation process and does not mean that the actual launch of the coin failed and was aborted.
