[ANN] Unofficial Keisercoin - MKC - The most dangerous coin in crypto.

[procrypto]

Note: i'm not the dev or the founder of this, just posted about it after seeing discussion on IRC.

As you may have possibly heard by now, RT's Max Keiser has decided to launch a cryptocurrency.

#KeiserCoin is coming ahead of Kanye coin. Who'll reach $1 bn. market cap first? We'll be featuring my coin on @KeiserReport this week.

He also retweeted this thread earlier (https://twitter.com/steveomarburg/status/419881205702475776) - leading many to wonder whether the community had stumbled upon the code ahead of launch.

He later withdrew the retweet and posted the reply below

.@steveomarburg This is not the real deal. Watch @KeiserReport this week for the real keiser crypto news! Kanye will never know what hit him

 - Hi Max!  

Source and binaries: http://coingen.bluematt.me/build/90f2d106.zip - found on the public status page at http://coingen.io/status.html

Seems to be a Scrypt coin which is otherwise a BTC clone.

Total supply: 21,000,000
Block reward: 50

Someone from IRC found a Github https://github.com/keisercoin-official/keisercoin

Someone from IRC created a seed node - 198.50.239.178

Solo mining in windows

Run client QT then close it.

Navigate to System Drive (prob C:) > Users > your windows user > AppData > Roaming > Keisercoin and create a text file called keisercoin.conf

rpcuser=yourrpcuser
rpcpassword=yourrpcpassword
rpcport=9336
server=1
listen=1
addnode=198.50.239.178

Restart client, then point your miner at 127.0.0.1:9336

Disclaimer: This will probably be restarted with a new genesis block, so mining is probably fruitless. Get involved at your own risk. I do wonder why they made the coingen downloads public by default.

[maxbit]

any coins?

[Nullu]

Is this the official one or not?

[giveBTCpls]

is this the real keiser coin or a trojan?

[illodin]

is this the real keiser coin or a trojan?

or the real trojan?

[maxbit]

It's a coingen generated one, prolly someone placeholding the coin after max keiser announced the coin.

[atp1916]

Definitely not the official Keisercoin.

Do you really think he would use that coingen service?

[cryptohunter]

yeah this is not his official coin, so i guess not worth mining, he will link to his official one from his twitter im sure when it is ready

[giveBTCpls]

But what kind of shitty announcement is this?
Coin gets released out of an automatically generated program
No coin information at all: No total supply, rewards, etc
No pools
Official web doesnt even work
Max Keiser doesn't even say if this is legit or a fraud

The fuck??

[aTriz]

https://twitter.com/maxkeiser

he just re-tweeted this link so who knows???

[Freekje]

someone tweet and ask ?

@cryptocointalk This is false.. this is not the coin coming later this week. sorry to all who are wasting their time with this one...

So apparently this is fake. Can anyone check if it had some malicious code on it?

Come on. Which is more likely? A crapcoin created on coingen being fake, or Keiser's twitter account being hacked?

Still some hardcore hashing going on, 5450 blocks now generated.

Max Keiser may have scored a bit of an own goal on this one. By announcing it early and thanks to coingen it's been ninja'd. If the crypto currency community accept this as the Keisercoin and reject his own version of Keisercoin, these will be worth a fortune.

You can't control a decentralised currency. It's the crypto community that legitimises a coin and determines its value. This may be interesting.

It's like buying a domain name before a company releases a product. Keisercoin exists now. It's up to the community if they'd prefer if it was in our control, or Max Keiser's. How hilarious would it be if this became the legitimate coin? Major egg on face.

 

[cryptohunter]

well max is cool so i think we could donate a ton of this MKC to him to get behind it

[tryingmining]

well max is cool

and he isnt stupid,,5000 blocks + on premine,

[Nullu]

It doesn't matter, if the community accepts it. This could be an altcoin hijack. Taking a coin before it's released by the creator. No premine, no centralised wealth. That's what people want, isn't it?

[procrypto]

well max is cool

and he isnt stupid,,5000 blocks + on premine,

There were nowhere near 5000 blocks when I jumped on. It's rising so fast.. a block every second or so.. up to 5939 now..

[illodin]

Maybe a stupid question, but why would "max keiser coins" be worth "a fortune" ?

Yes, this is true. It may have been a leak on porpuse or not to see the rush to mine Keisercoin and it may backfire if the crypto community starts to embrance this launch and mine it may be hard to stop it. Everything seems legit but the consent of Max Keiser on this launch BUT the point of cryptocurrency is to be decentralised so beware Max Keiser. You may have just missed the boat

The reason you think this coin could be valuable is also the reason why Keiser can announce his official coin and this will be worth 0.

I know what you're saying. Max Keiser's word is golden. Anyone who thinks they can predict cryptocurrency though is thinking in different economic terms. I don't even think the developers of Bitcoin know where it's heading.

[procrypto]

Except this coin was premined. 5000 blocks were mined before this ANN thread. lol. Whoever is the dev just did this to try to profit from Keiser's tweets. But fair play, pretty clever.

LOL this thread is magic. A premine that never was. A dev that doesn't exist. All we're lacking is a badly photoshopped meme pic or two and we're legit.

any pools yet ?

Just stop mining these coins! They are not going anywhere ever! sheeesh...

I've already stopped, but only because the difficulty went up.

Let people have their fun. Nothing's a certainty in the altcoin world. I'll hold onto my 2000 Keisercoins, TYVM.

I suppose you're right, but only in the sense that if everyone convinced themselves this was the real deal, it would go somewhere.

Still selling 20k FMKC for 2 btc...

Obviously people are trading it now (here, irc, ..) and the network hashrate is still about 30MH/s. I'd say this is if not "the" atleast "a" real thing.

[jrslyrics]

Whats wrong with using coingen to make a clone coin? Its not like most of these coins coming out offer any real innovation.

Also, what makes a cryptocoin "real" ?

at least it should be accepted to an exchange, otherwise its just numbers in a window.

[xocel]

lol nice try but this is obviously not keisers coin.

a) keiser is a boss and wouldnt launch a pos like this.
b) this idea is strait from trollbox, not even an original one.
c) keiser and I are both members of the exclusive 'wastecoat wearing ballers club', i would know of such a things, and i don't, so...

oh and btw, far more elegant ideas have come from the trollbox, why take this one? lol.

[giveBTCpls]

So when is the legit keisercoin going out? MaxKeiser hasn't mentioned anything for days now, and he said it would be announced this week. I moved to another room to mine the fucking thing at night for nothing. Thanks Max.

Just remember what happened to Nyan. Get this forked and fixed by a real dev so the borked coingen difficulty is fixed and you've got a real threat to Maxcoin. Vote with your hashes.

Has the potential to really stir things up if anyone's man enough to take the reigns of this one. Now would be the time.
