Is Kim Dotcom behind megacoin??

How do you see the progress (value increase) of Megacoin??

I'm not sure if Kim Dotcom is behind it. I assumed he was, but can't find any concrete info on it. I can't see the value of Megacoin increasing that much unless it gets some merchants behind it. I mean, what can you buy with it at the moment?

Megacoin is pretty much the best looking coin at the moment

saw a interview with kim dotcom and he wants to create a kind of crypto network
plus everyone knows this dude so I think if you start buying them now and wait till they go mainstream- think its promissing

I don't think Kim is involved unless Dr Kimoto is his alias. Maybe Dotcom is trying to create a Satoshi alter-ego.

The design does look pretty snazzy/professional, but that's about all it has going for it at the moment.

Megacoin is great

Megacoin trades millions of coins per day right here:

http://www.btc38.com/trade.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=mec

It will succeed.  It has went from nothing to around $0.80

http://www.cryptmarketcap.com/

No.

Then enlighten us on who is?

but where we can use this right now I search but its not available for use just trading is nothing can you explain about this some

uwotm8? You can't really spend it anywhere, but cryptosextoys.com accepts it and you can trade it on a few exchanges: http://www.megacoin.co.nz/services

Megacoin is one of the first coins I invested in because of its foundation and appeal. Huge potential for the future and has a great community!

yes i see lots of potential in Megacoin

just by the layout you know someone was involved that cared alot about design

I will invest in them too, prices really go up compared to Bitcoin

Max Keiser asks Kim here and he denies he has anything to do with it: http://youtu.be/N1bDMfRfsrw?t=22m10s

What is it ?

Just another cryptocoin.

Kim said that bitcoin was the only way to go

As do most other intelligent people  ;D.

Who cares if he was behind it or not....it is all about the community....there is a market (more like a stock exchange)...if people back it up it goes up...if not the other way...in every aspect hashrate is the key to success
its all about speculation and public appearance
It seems though that it is one of the few that contest to follow after litecoin

In what way? People usually only big up the coins they hold.

Do you mean sell?

Sell? What do you mean? I mean they only promote them if they have a lot of the coins and invested interest in them.

Thats what i was talking about when i said strong community(more like i meant it)...and a strong community derives through "appearances"(the image of the coin which is all up to the devs)...so far the the devs have done a great job in the design of the coin.None can predict though how will it go in the future

Kim.com is not behind MEC.

It could be someone from the other admins from their forum.

I don't care who kimoto is, all I know that the staff is good.

I think they just tried to leech a bit of publicity off Mega and Kim Dotcom to be honest.

Well, aren't we all trying to succeed somehow? :)
Nothing bad with that. They didn't said kimoto was Kim.com, they just didn't deny it either.

Trying to succeed by leeching off other peoples work? I don't think that's any way to get ahead.

It's not leeching exactly. They didn't say anything about the coin having something in common with Kim.com

I'm not a big fan of MEC, but I like it. I'm a member of their forum for the last 2 months and I'm watching everything.

It's called Megacoin and is branded exactly like Mega. I thought it was created by Kim Dotcom at first the resemblance was that uncanny.

So.. Kim.Com leeched MegaMan creator's popularity in other words? (MegaMan was the first thing I thought of )

'
Yes, If Mega ripped off Megamans logo and website etc and modelled itself on it. You can't emulate someone else branding etc.

What did MegaCoin ripped from MegaUpload / MEGA ? The red color? ::)

Compare : https://mega.co.nz/ with https://forum.megacoin.co.nz/

What do those 2 sites have in common? Both start with Mega?

If you can't see the comparisons between http://www.megacoin.co.nz/ & http://mega.co.nz/ then I don't know what else to say to you. It's obvious to everyone what is going on here. They even went as far as to register it in .nz.

One of the moderators is from NZ.. The one who made the website/forum.

How convenient. That still doesn't discredit the fact that they've pretty much ripped off Mega in every way they could. Next you'll be telling me it was really created by a real Dr Kimoto and the Kim in his name doesn't have any thing to do with the guy who created Mega and is just a coincidence.

Kimdotcom has got NOTHING to do with Megacoin. he said it himself on keiser report

in other words a total scam to suck in dumbasses.

Go back 1 page, see what I wrote.

I don't care who or what is kimoto.

You must be new to the crypto world? lol

Hi there, Alien :)

You can look at it two ways;

Kimoto isn't Kim Dot Com:
Higher chance for Kim to promote and adopt Megacoin in the future, I think this is a good direction if the coin becomes popular.
Keeps the developer anonymous, which I think is a bonus in this wild west scene.
Plays off of Satoshi Nakamoto and follows in the anonymous footsteps of bitcoin.

If it is Kim:
He will promote it and roll out services.
proven competent dev/inventor.

Having said that, only the really confused noobies get them selves worked up trying to find out this 'mystery', instead of focusing on the proven talents of kimoto, the website, the community, the Kimoto Gravity Well, the forums, the services being developed, the marketing and the trade volume etc.

24 hour trade volume(MEC) btc38.com
=1886313.82

At this stage it really doesn't matter if Bill Gates created Megacoin, it is unstoppable.

Do you think the Chinese are falling over themselves, putting money into Megacoin by the mass because they think Kim Dot Com runs it? I do not think so.

Nice to see your own projects being rolled out, keep up the good work, thanks for trying to clear up some nonsense.

Thank You, Alien.

Wont wish good luck to MEC project, because it doesn't need any luck. It has what it requires to get in the top 3 cryptos of all time.

Appreciate your kind words.

No, I know exactly how these hack devs work by leeching and ripping off other peoples' work to try get ahead because they have zero original ideas themselves. I know, let's create a coin called Megacoin and brand it exactly like the Mega site and get some free publicity. Tell me, what does Megacoin offer that the hundreds of other coins don't and what can you actually buy with it apart from dildos?


Spoken like a true steadfast fanboy / bagholder. Of course you're going to sing its praises whilst you're probably holding thousands (or at least wish you were / want to). You can change most of what you said to Dogecoin or any other Crapcoin and it's still just hot air.

Wont either bother quoting.

You know nothing about MEC, you talk ( type, even ) too much. Your fingers are faster than your brain.

Just read this and come back to continue

https://forum.megacoin.co.nz/index.php?topic=893.0

I'll wait.

https://forum.megacoin.co.nz/index.php?action=profile;u=7

Oh wow, a slightly different mining algorithm given a fancy name. 'Gravity well' lol. You talk a load of hype and nonsense just like every other delusional fanboy of a particular currency.

You just said everything was copy pasted and now this algorithm is different?
Before you said Megacoin.co.nz was a COPY of mega.co.nz -then change your argument to just the suffix and dev name being similar?

as for services; http://www.megacoin.co.nz/services
Can't expect ebay to accept it after 7 months. By your logic Gold is useless as you would have to convert to fiat money to purchase a graphics card from newegg.

It's not good to be pessimistic, especially when trying to win an argument without sources, at least I link to information for people to research further and develop their own conclusions, instead of resorting to insulting someone with a differing opinion from mine.

Alienwalkerx

Slightly different. If you copy and paste something but change something ever so slightly, that's hardly a selling point, is it? That's not innovation. If I put some funny spokes on a wheel, I haven't reinvented it, nor have I necessarily improved on it. Maybe if I copy and paste the Mona Lisa but change the hair colour I've created a masterpiece? Don't be ridiculous; you're clutching at straws here because your coin offers nothing that half of these other crapcoins don't. And I never changed my argument. It is a blatant copy regardless of making minor changes or tweaks and any rational person can see this, but of course fanboys will be blind to this logic.

And I'm not being pessimistic; I'm being realistic. What sources can I link to exactly to prove this coin is crap? It's kind of self-evident. And the 'sources' your provide aren't ways to win this argument or make your case. What exactly did you prove by giving me some links to mega and your profile and the slightly different algorithm?  The burden of proof is on you to tell me what's so good or unique about this coin. So far you've given me it has this 'gravity well' (lol) and it has a good community behind it (what everybody says about their coin) and that you can buy dildos and a few other bits of crap with it. You can pretty much buy the same crap with Doge.

And I never said anything about gold. Most people don't expect to use it as a currency, but you can buy a hell of a lot more stuff with gold than you can with Mega though, but that's beside the point.

Megacoin when it was released was based on the latest version of Bitcoin which no other coin devs had until that time done. Not just a copy and paste of Litecoin.

Have you actually looked at the difficulty algorithm Kimoto came up with? It is clever and innovative and served its purpose perfectly of defending Megacoin against multipools - and it shows a very competent dev. So much so in-fact that Anoncoin has adopted the Kimoto difficult algorithm, also the Franko dev is also looking into implementing the KGW. I have also been informed that Memory coin has or is going to also implement it. It is not slightly different from its previous difficulty algorithm and Kimoto did not 'change something ever so slightly'. At least get your facts straight otherwise you simple show your ignorance.

Every coin is in some way a copy of Bitcoin, so your argument is somewhat illogical. I suppose by your logic Litecoin is also doomed to fail.

You are being pessimistic, and down right negative too.

What is good about this coin:

The Megacoin Developer
The Megacoin team
The Megacoin Community
Based on latest Bitcoin code (at time of release)
Innovative difficulty algorithm
Listed on multiple exchanges Cryptsy, Bter, BTC38, Coinex.pw, Coinmkt.com (USD/MEC)
Pre announced / Fair launch
Millions of dollars worth are traded daily
More innovations coming soon!

Hate away, time will tell.

lol, again, most of these apply to a lot of other crapcoins too. Change Megacoin to Doge or something else and they will probably still apply. And how is ripping off the latest Bitcoin code a plus? I guess fanboys gonna fan.

Trolls gonna troll.

Stop wasting time

Trolling and troll is what fanboys say when somebody criticises their crapcoin and their claims about how great it is which amounts to how it has a good dev/community/website and it's not just a clone of a coin because the dev changed some things slightly.


on Megacoin.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[6]

I think that describes you pretty well, judging by posts you have been making in other coin threads it would seem you don't like altcoins, any of them! So why bother posting here - just to provoke a response? Show me one post where you have been positive and / or constructive recently?

You should check my posts a bit more thoroughly if you want positive /constructive discussions, and I've been constructive here, you just don't agree with my points because you're blinded by your own interests. And I don't particularly care for most alts, especially when they offer little to nothing in terms of innovation. And I don't start arguments - this was a discussion, but as usual with fanboys, once they can't fight their corner or back up their arguments with anything more than my coin has a good dev/community/website, then the troll accusations come out. If I'm a troll (which I'm not), then stop feeding me. This is a discussion and I'll continue the discussion for as long as you do, but maybe you should take your fellow fanboys advice and stop wasting time because I doubt I'll change your mind nor will you change mine, but I'm happy to continue trolling discussion with you.

And here's some definitions for you too: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fanboy

Okay, fanboy and troll accusations aside.

What other argument is there to back up an altcoin other than 'good dev/community/website'? Genuinely interested to know what you would qualify as good back up to arguing the positives of a coin.

Give him 1 MEC, he'll shut it.

He's not worth more than 1 MEC.

Clearly there are two different opinions here from polar opposites and both are valid. I wouldn't really call Megacoin a crapcoin, but the website and design is obviously influenced by Mega.  I actually thought Megacoin was part of Kim Dot com's Mega-brand up until only recently. Is it 100% defintily not anything to do with Kim Dotcom? Maybe he's just trying to create a bit of Satoshi like alure to himself. If it's not anything to do with him and he wasn't involved in legal battles of his own, he probably would've had grounds to sue.

I think this is a perfect example of why most alts are pure crap and are completely superfluous. I don't know what would make a good coin; if I did I'd create one, but you can't just say the same old things people say for their coins and then that's what makes them so special and worthwhile, because everybody says that and it usually turn s out to be nothing but bs and hot air. Do you know how many people I see making these same points everyday? Earthcoin, Frozencoin, Giftcoin, Dogecoin blah blah. Do any of them offer something truly unique or live up to their promises?


Ouch, that stung. *sarcasm*. How old are you, 12? Kinda contradictory too. I'm not worth 1MEC yet 1MEC will apparently buy my silence?


This was my point in the first place, but obviously when you criticise a fanboy his feelings get hurt and they get unnecessarily defensive then accuse you of being a troll for having a different opinion.

So apart from being the first to introduce a new hashing algorithm, what makes Litecoin or Primecoin for that matter worthy coins apart from 'dev/community/website' etc.?

And while I do agree that there are many clearly questionable coins around how can you claim that arguments used to promote a coins positives '...usually turn s out to be nothing but bs and hot air'? Most altcoins have been around less than a year (and the ones you quoted less than a month). Are you arguing that crap coins that use the same arguments (good 'dev/community/website' etc.) invalidate any legitimate coins that also use the same arguments?

1,458 posts in 4 weeks, supreme troll lol

its almost great stuff by this guy I am here for almost 5 months and have 1000 posts and he done this figure 1458 in just 4 weeks congrats man  :D

MEC and WDC seem linked in some weird way. I think if one does well so will the other and vice versa if you just follow the patterns. Im still leaning toward WDC though because of Scharmbeck but that could certainly change. Honestly I see both of them doing well this year.

Confirmed!

That's not confirmation at all.
