To the people claiming that there is no development taking place, are you living under a rock? Or do you just choose to ignore everything that doesn't confirm your bias?
BitXATM are launching 1,000 ATMs in the US, all of which will be capable of transacting in MaxCoin. They will also have PoS devices for point of sale purchases. How many other altcoins can make that claim?
Maxcoin also has raised $100,000 in crowdfunding to create a physical silver MaxCoin. The demand seen for this was huge which shows how much support there is from community to fund worthwhile projects.
MaxCoin will also be accepted on StartJOIN in the coming weeks for the purpose of making pledges towards crowdfunding projects. StartJOIN is the only serious crowdfunding platform embracing cryptocurrency, and is aiming to be a large player in the crowdfunding market. This gives maxcoin a unique use case. StartCOIN was created specifically to incentivise use of the platform, and is in no way a competitive threat to MaxCoin in this regard. The two currencies complement each other, and there will at some point be a market to exchange maxcoin and startcoin.
MaxCoin has also been adopted onto the NXT multigateway decentralised exchange. Yes, that's right. A decentralised bitcoin:maxcoin exchange! How many other alts are talking endlessly about this but getting nowhere? The maxcoin devs don't just talk, they act... and get things done.
In addition to that, the TXTCoinsNow project will enable payments in maxcoin without the need for a computer, a smartphone or even an internet connection. This project aims to bring max to the unbanked people of the world who do not have the privilege of owning expensive computing hardware. All that is needed is any regular phone to send and receive payments in maxcoin.
There is also a project underway to create an FPGA for mining maxcoin. This project has raised almost $20,000 in funding to date and already has the hardware ready to go as soon as the VHDL programming is complete, and we have a working SHA3 implementation interfaced with cgminer.
We also have paper wallets, QR codes, a working minikey format, deterministic wallets, an ad-free faucet that pays out more in Satoshi value than any other faucet. Work is underway on an android wallet, and our web wallet is about 80% completed. A port of bitcoin-abe is also in progress. There's an active community on maxchat.info and maxtalk.org who are dedicated to making the coin a success, and a community bounty program will soon be launched in a free market based attempt to develop the infrastructure of the coin.
The devs also acted quickly to patch an exploit of the Kimoto Gravity well retargeting algorithm that was used to successfully attack auroracoin, making maxcoin the first safe KGW coin. We take blockchain security very seriously. And despite a prolonged period of a single mining pool controlling over 51% of the market, no 51% attacks were attempted and now the mining community have addressed the issue such that no single entity controls a dominant share of the network hashrate.
The dev team are also in talks with major silver bullion dealer in the UK to discuss the possibility of backing the currency with silver. This is a long way off, but reveals the fact that the team are serious about the long term success of the project.
These points merely scratch the surface of the development work that is currently taking place, so how anyone could try to honestly claim that no development is being done is beyond me. You are either being dishonest in your criticisms or else you are being wilfully blinded by your own biases.
Some of the comments in this thread are actually laughable. And some of you wonder why the MaxCoin devs have no time for this forum? What is the point of trying to convince bitcoin evangelicals who don't want to be convinced anyway? It's a waste of time and energy, and time will prove you wrong anyway. Enjoy the schadenfreude while it lasts, because MaxCoin will have the last laugh...

Very good post, so I thought I would bump it.
Also. For anyone who thinks that Max Keiser is an a$$hole, you are probably right. But remember Max Keiser has approximately 20 million viewers on RT for Keiser Report. A lot of those people will watch the show because they DO like him. What other altcoin has a PR agent as big as Max Keiser? He was the reason why a lot of people got into Bitcoin in the first place. Most people I mention Bitcoin to haven't heard of it but of the ones that have, they usually attribute it to Max Keiser or bring his name into the conversation. He seems to be big in the UK.
If you think about it there are probably thousands of people out of the 20 million that hang off his every word, who are not financially savvy, but believe what he says because he says it louder than the next guy. Some of these people will see the success of Bitcoin and want a piece of the action. There could already be 1 million Maxcoins soaked up by people who wont sell until the price is in the $10's or $100's. Might never happen, but for all intents and purposes those coins are hoovered off the market. Max hasn't even give the big buy signal yet, when he does all hell could break loose. Remember he has the inside scoop, he has the capital and he has the publicity. Whatever he says can become reality!
This coin was not pre-mined, so..... if Max himself wants a piece of the action then why would he pay 10,000's 100,000's or even 1,000,000's of satoshis per coin when he can suck them up at a fraction of the cost by just pretending to release news at a given date/time and then not releasing it? Or even better, announce another coin. Max worked on wall street for many years. He has participated in many pump and dumps. He knows how to make value disappear and how to make it rise. And most importantly he knows how to increase his position/holdings. What do you think he is doing?
Guys. I want the price to go lower too so that I can grab some more at a bargain price. Dollar cost averaging is a bad idea for all altcoins because you will lose in the end. Not this one. I believe Max is positioning himself to make a killing, of course he cant announce that or the price wont keep going lower for him to accumulate more. Yes, I'm putting a lot of faith in this coin but from reading between the lines I think I could be right, and I for one don't want to miss this bus! I believe in you Max Keiser (even though I might not like you)
this is powerful, it also does look good, very Star Trek
So those people are heavy bagholders wanting to unload, trapped in shit.
