After following Max keiser for some time I really thought the maxcoin would be a fair release, it clearly wasn't.

I don't think it's fair to blame Max, I think he's been had over by two developers looking to make some fast money. We all make mistakes sometimes Max, done worry about it.

Max Keiser in true Max style should hold his hands up and disassociate himself from this coin and it's developers.

The community wait with bated breath.

Max keep up the generally good work.

fucking 5 hours of my time wasted for nothing and now look at the price fucking coin .........

this from a user with -4 trust......

Actually I'm not so worried. I'll try mining it and see how it goes. No need to worry about dev's making fast money, they haven't gotten THAT much of a headstart.

wtf does my trust level have to do with the launch of maxcoin?

For those who didnt follow the launch because they knew something like this would happen what did happen?

I am not interested at all in Max at so high launch price level. And about you?

Max coin price $30 / max is now higher than litecoin, and maxcoin has 250Million coins, ofcourse this will crash so bad.

I thought they are making a joke.

First they find themselves "unable" to do a "fair" release just due to this forum not being able to handle the traffic (for some strange reason).

Some hours later, they claim the password protected wallets will be available in the morning, GMT time zone.

There were no wallets in that European morning time.

Then there is this "we got it baby" post on reddit lol and let us not forget their assurances made in the announcement on this forum.


As things finally start, they post three different download links for mac (apple) wallet. As if there is about to be an avalanche of mac users.

Source code for cpu miner.

Follows linux...

The grand finale was a command line windows client. Windows users and the system itself is in a direct opposition to a command line use.  

Also...compiling the source code? Windows? Windows users? Seriously?

For this entire time i was thinking...they are joking...it has to be a joke, but it will harm their credibility nonetheless. It turns out that was their actual "fair for all" "do not worry will provide guides/will give you time" release.

I think the way things were handled (or not handled) deserves them to get a black spot. The credibility of the coin and Max Keiser himself is..well how much of it is left?


Atm the coin is trading at prices surpassing LTC which (guessing!!) hints at pump up action...insider trading amongst each other (early prepared miners) via/with the help of quite some twitter publicity.  
  

edit: minor additions, spelling

 

Maximum fail. They should've just called it linux+nvidia coin.

The future is iCoin not Maxcoin

Well said.

so wait a minute, not one person mining on windows with the devs cpu miner got a coin?

Nailed it!

ugh, impossible to mine so far, even on linux. WTF> I retract my earlier defense of the coin. What suck.

Easy -- if you've got the hashing power, that is.

Catastrophic launch...

How is it possible to get a MaxCoin wallet for Mac?

There was no cpu miner launched at the start. And if there was, it was buried somewhere where I couldn't find it, and I've been mining almost hundred coins so far. The instructions were shit and scattered all over the place and just plain wrong.

A must watch if you have been following the maxcoin.

Absolutely MUST watch, trust me.

10/10

Updated:- I spotted this video when it had about 30 views on it.

ROFL  :D

lets see how it goes after a week ...

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING classic

VTC on BTER.... that's all you need to know in alt coins this week.

i mined using my work servers and GOT 0.0000 maxSCAMcoin!!!

really really bad!!!!!!! :-(

a friend of mine a sys admin too did the same and got 0.00000 coins ??

SCAM COIN? we can see the log files hashing away :-(

haixt...

What happened?

1 pumper and 1 wannabe dev made a coin. 1 psychopath hyped it.

The results are obvious.

DELETE

Thanks! Anyway, I already retracted at seeing for myself major fail. In the meantime though, one of the pools made a working miner and things are working now.

OMG that was hilarous ahahaha

Instant classic.

1 month ago Keiser tweeted that "Dogecoin was the Howard Stern of cryptocurrency" - (he hates Howard Stern). So in light of Maxcoin being a huge scam by the devs, I'm repaying Keiser with a title for his coin ---->

"Maxcoin is the Enron of cryptocurrency"

Please free to Tweet that out to him.

This brought me sheer-joy the likes of which is seldom felt.

worst and most confusing launch ive ever had the displeasure to be involved in.

opposite of fair launch in my opinion.  >:(

it should be called ScamMaxCoin
