Topic: Thoughts on Max Keiser's coin (Maxcoin) - page 5. (Read 15381 times)

Yes, but you didn't address StewartJ's point. While Max Keiser is trying and failing, he's taking others down with him.

@StewartJ

Just because you stumble a few times, doesn't mean you give up. Only losers do that and Max is no loser.

He will stand behind the coin and promote it, helping out with the development. He had ample opportunity to "distance" himself but he didn't do it and won't do it. So... Maxcoin is here to stay.

I have enjoyed Max Keiser and Stacy's show over the years with their financial insights.

But more importantly its his advocacy of Bitcoins and Crypto Currencies in general where Max really shines.

This Max Keiser coin is a fiasco and certainly does not help the cause of Alt Coins at all.

Max Keiser has to know this and will certainly distance himself from one of the most inept coin launches ever.

Yeah because you're such a charitable good doer guy. Yeah right.

Nice chance for your to advertise that signature.

If your time is free and you have money to lose, keep going. I was talking to people that doesn't have that luxury.
I feel better once I warn people but you are free to do as you want.

Says guy who wasted his time posting in a thread warning people not to waste their time. Right.

You are wasting your time & money.

@techstorm2

Devs are very responsive on Twitter and reddit. There's also a Maxcoin forum but not sure devs are active there.

Ditto

appalling launch, i wasted 2 days on this frustrating shit!

No windows client even though a large % of miners use win 7.

unbelievably poor communications from the dev team. I had high hopes for this but was extremely disappointed. 

Which means either he is fooling (possibly himself and) you, or the coin MUST BE controlled top-down and is thus centralized. Thus handed on silver platter for take over by the authorities in the future.

Either you have decentralized protocol or you have top-down control.

If the protocol is decentralized it means no one can decide to change it any more, unless they can convince a majority of the mining hash processing power to switch. Since ASICs have orders-of-magnitude hash processing power advantage, then they won't agree of course. Even if ASICs are just launched, existing GPU or CPU miners will be resistant to changes. So you must then maintain top-down control over pools or somehow force all miners to switch.

I explained this to bytemaster months ago when he proposed a similar strategy for BitShares.

This is also why you won't see any drastic changes to Bitcoin any more.

Yes, and I agree, a strategy they will repeat again and again, if the same results are shown.

yaay, a hero member rules this thread.
can't wait for staceycoin, keisercoin, maxnstacycoin, rtcoin.
they must be laughing all the way to the (of shore) bank

i was simply looking for away to brag about being a computer pro..
you see i am insecure and my self esteem hinges entirely on what some little fucking faggot online thinks lol

sorry dicks but i get the same old same old online.. jealousy
i am a well known cracker coder etc and i have accomplishments that no one else can claim..
for example i have coded from scratch the first and still only crack for a series of LG cell phones that unlock it for unlimited content.
so how many people can say that ? one.. me !
Jealous well too damn bad lol
For another example..
I had a job interview at Sprint USA for a computer tech job about 6/7 years ago and i was on my final you got the job mini interview
and there was another guy who got hired sitting beside me and i said to him while we were chatting you ever heard of my user name
and his eyes bulged out and he said holy shit that is you ? he said he had used tons of my cracks over the years and thanked me.
This is typical and i have had people around the planet atc like that.. it's not bragging either its just how it is.

I also get called liar etc a lot and have to bend over backwards proving snotty punks wrong ALL THE TIME
and then i get told i am bragging when all i was doing is defending myself from meme.jpg's and snotty brats..
My resume is fucking HUGE..... i have worked for well know world wide corps and my own government
and yes cracking and hacking and coding and to top it off i have some pretty interesting connections that make headline news regularly.
And if that bugs people tough... i coudln't careless what people think, because most people are useless retards lol
Stay on Facebook or 4chan or what ever

@BXC

Your limb is wrong. Easy to figure that out by checking the negative stuff I've posted about Maxcoin before release. So no, I'm in no way connected to dev team.

Most coins are vulnerable to 51% attacks. Cex.io almost gained 51% of the Bitcoin network not long ago, when everyone panicked on Reddit urging others to leave the pool.

I just think this coin has potential regardless the lame launch.

@BCX


Price was hyped, sure, due to the popularity of the coin. Came crushing down once coins came flooding in but what matters is how much it will be worth 2-3 months from now. Those people who bought at high levels can still break even or profit.

I'm pretty sure Max and Stacy are in it for the long run. I don't think they've dumped any. They're not in it for short term gains as they're rich enough already. No need for them to dump coins to make ends meet, pay the rent and such, like many miners do.

Call me in 10 years when bitcoin is still the gold standard of crypto currencies and maxcoin joins the litter of conversational pieces fathers will lecture their sons on regarding 'maxcoins and coinye, and what financial fuckups NOT to make in their own lives.'

Max will be back to hyping silver 'to the moon' while it forever stays stuck at 20 dollars once his half-assed crypto venture crashes n' burns.

I just found this interesting video of the two UK developers when they had their light bulb moment and invented MaxCoin

did you write this article herp?


how will they do this exactly?.. by handing out GPUs to the masses? count me in if they do... I'd like a box full of R9 280s please...
I woudln't exactly call handing the coin over to Botnet operators and GPU farmers astute... and I wouldn't call releasing only linux compatible source code at launch "putting power into the hands of amatuers"..

yeah sure the CPU miner did eventually run under windows.. but it took me a good 6 hours of having to install a whole bunch of Linux emulation packages to get it to compile properly under windows 7 64.

im sorry but if you have to install and configure CygWin on your pc just to get the source code to compile.. then its not a Windows application... its a linux application Jerry-rigged to work under windows.


so they Anticpicated something they didn't expect? interesting lol... such an elegant command of the English language...
