Topic: WTF THIS GUYS ARE STEALING LIKE MOTHERFUCKERS ! (Read 10565 times)

95% of these coins could be called a scam in that the primary (or only)
real intention behind them is to enrich their creators the exchanges.

NOT PRE MINING BUT SAYING THAT IT IS THE FIRST SOBERIGN COIN , THEY SHOULD BE SHOT AND KILLED.

Interesting concept though. If 50% of the network forced a copy of the wrong blockchain to destroy the early coins or adopted a community driven maza that started with the block right after the premine what would  that do? Like copy the source and start the block count later and have everyone synch with that instaead of the original maza client?

No
To block/invalidate any addresses goes against the whole idea of "Bitcoin" and related projects.

However, I'm not totally sure that www.whatismyipaddress.com can spit out super accurate location information. I threw in my own ip and it got me close to my place, but not close enough that I trust it.
For what it's worth, Spaincoin's IP maps to Switzerland, Greececoin's IP maps to Arizona, PLNCoin maps to Poland, and E-Gulden's ip maps to the Netherlands.

The websites are all soooo similar looking that I've been super skeptical of them. I wound't be suprised if some are legit, but some are most definitely a scam.

What do you think?

Hello, you are obviously misinformed or are spreading wrong information.

* Decision to not change difficulty etc is made by AnonymousPirate aka Master coin maker (lol what!)
* He is on founding team of both the coins
* Both sites are not only similar but are hosted on the same server
* Twitter accounts under same person's control

This goes far beyond hiring someone.

Here are some facts to consider:


- AnonymousPirate, Boxxa, and Payu Harris are 3 independent people. I've done some digging, and I've spoken to each of them through different channels.

- AnonymousPirate is the primary architect of the *technical* aspects of MazaCoin, Payu is the ceo/head whatever you want to call it.

- AP is the full controller, coder and otherwise, of Maple. Maple is NOT premined!

- Though not premined, Maple is suspiciously under-advertised for a dev so experienced in crypto launches.

- The Maza premine is controlled by Payu, not AP. For all intents and purposes, AP was hired (though reportedly not paid - he volunteered) and shared the vision/idea - he apparently was not/is not connected to MZC beyond the code.





My take: IMO, dev is happy to wait some days of low diff mining before he makes a push to spread Maple. It's basically an unofficial premine that you can't really be mad at him for, cause technically, you all could be mining it right now, etc. Maza was mostly a disaster composed of 3 failures: 1) Payu is unfortunately, seemingly inept at managing social media or assigning someone to for him, 2) the core design of the coin was destined to never reach its target price within the year - just far too many coins being produced too quickly, 3) a major hype spike happened while these underlying problems existed, and misrepresentations were made and spread widely - the resulting crash combined with problems 1 & 2 left the blackhole that now is Maza. I personally believe AP and Boxxa are not the same person, having spoken to them both through diff channels, among other reasons. Boxxa is certainly a close buddy at the very least, as he was mining MPL with 12+ mH at one point early on. I really think they're just trying to avoid premine bullshit while still building a bankroll to dump.

So what choice do you have? Well, either it will work or it won't. I'm banking on it working, because everything works in crypto ffs - even the most blatant, egregious scams. I'm betting on MPL actually hitting an exchange and having some value, which is why I mined it on release day and happily kept quiet as well for some hours. The other possibility is that everyone is fed up enough to just ignore the coin, let it die, and leave AP and friends with next to nothing and a failed dream. I also wish this would be the case, but ya know, from what I've seen in the altcoin world, I'm happy to put a small risk of mining time into MPL cause I'm betting it works instead of gets what it deserves.


Good luck out there in crypto land!

Or how about a miner militia.

Imagine 1 or 2 ghash out on 51% patrol.
