Now, let's assume for a second that these guys are not the clueless fucks they look like:
Then they would probably have many GPUs and/or botnets ready to mine it. Why else make a sha3 coin? plus, it's not immediately compatible with the (two?) other sha3 coins, so only they would have gpu mining for the first few blocks. Profit!
This is a coin to stay away from IN ANY CASE.
I can tell you are not a developer. Wanna know why? Developers are not all out for money. Most developers develop things for the love and interest they have in those things.
You have just made it very clear that you are just someone who has jumped on the crypto coin industry purely for a financial gain and it is clear as day that if you see something that is not going to make you an instant profit you will bitch and slam it.
God i detest people like you. In it for you and no one else.
I do not think for one moment MAX himself would want to gain from this coin, that is nothing of interest to him. However there will those that compile gpu miners for this and will extra all of the value from it.
It should have been scrypt or scrypt jane with high N to start.
that would have been most fair.
I think we can have 2 max keiser coins
there is a scrypt one that was out first already
and now this sha3 one - that in reality will be a bit of a flop since only a few will mine it successfully.
It's all about support if half as many support the scypt one, it will be mentioned along with the sha3 one in any media coverage. And 2 coins named after max is not a bad thing anyway.
max scrypt
max sha3
