After a rollout only matched by Obamacare, I refuse to mine, accept or invest in this coin... let it die.

Would seem Max is working with these 2 websites to get MaxCoin on:

http://www.netagio.com

and

James Turk's http://www.goldmoney.com https://twitter.com/GoldMoneyNews - goldmoney.com has 32k followers on Twitter. Lauren Lyster, Peter Schiff, Roger Ver, Erik Voorhees, The Dollar Vigilante are among the followers.

Maxcoin just seems to be in a completely different world. The devs are useless and inactive, and apart from Max Keiser's backing and a different algorithm, this coin has nothing else going for it. I would be confident if it had a competent dev team, but if something goes wrong with the coin then there's going to be a problem.

You can't say the developers are competent. Anyone who does is a liar.

The coin has just as many pros as it does cons.

Don't know about them being inactive. They seem pretty active. Check their tweeter feed https://twitter.com/maxcoinproject

They also have over 7k followers there already.

Active on twitter, but not here? This is what I mean by being in a different world. It's 95% PR and 5% development.

I don't get it. What's wrong with twitter? Much easier to track shit on twitter than digging up through hundreds of posts n spam here on forum.

Nothing wrong with twitter at all. But it just shows a total lack of respect for the community. This forum has had a large part in Maxcoin's success. It's the lack of common courtesy which is just telling, really.

Pretty sure the only people who listen to or know of Max Keiser are yanks - the rest of the world doesnt give 2 fucks about him or his bullshit 'hype of the day'. Buy Quark! Buy Kitteh! Buy MaxCoin!

Crap launch of a coin that brings nothing to the table so staying well clear - theres dozens of other coins to make a profit from .

sorry to say that, but the launch was a complete crap, here's what I experienced:
....
thanks

Yeah but fuck the launch. It's stable now. Let's look a bit past this launch. No one will give a shit about this launch days or weeks from now, except idiots who like to hold a grudge.

i lost time on this coin, i was ripped off right at the beginning so were the others, and a small group of interest instamined it
i'm not getting involved into this crap

Yeah suit yourself, it frustrated the shit out of me also. Wasted few hours trying to get the 1st windows DOS client they've released to work, command line style.

Thing is, though, this coin will make money for all early adopters. I'm pretty sure of that.

sorry to say that, but the launch was a complete crap, here's what I experienced:

- it was supposed to be cpu
- resheduled launch (guess why)
- released linux binary at the launch time was not working (linked dynamically against extra libs, devs are amateurs)
- github source 10 minutes after not working binaries release
- in the mean time somebody "found" working nvidia miner
- wallet does not synch, damn… ok it's synced
- i'm finally mining… diff 174+ <_<

thanks

This..
I've completely lost all faith in this altcoin after the failed launch, and won't be mining or buying it.

ASIC proof Keccak (SHA-3) mining algorithm

It isn't ASIC proof, infact it's very prone to ASICs.

Thing is there are no ASICs for it yet and none in the pipeline. Scrypt ASICs can already be pre-ordered.

it does have an ASIC proof Keccak (SHA-3) mining algorithm, which is way more than what most of the alt coins have. Most alt coins use either Litecoin based Scrypt or SHA-256.
[/size]

Sha-3 is not ASIC proof at all... any more than MaxCoin was a claimed "CPU only" coin...
it took developers one day to adapt bitcoin mining software to work with Sha-3

how long do you think it would take chip designers to adapt the SHA-256 ASIC chip design?

if they wanted to they could probably do it in a couple of weeks.

from design to tape out to delivery right to the customers door probably wouldn't take more than a few months because the ASIC companies already have all the distribution channels, suppliers, designers, production facilities in place, not to mention all the experience.
