[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.

Ignore this.

[procrypto]

Wrong RPC port, so set it to something other than 9335 (updated first post)

[freet0pian]

reserved - I don't trust Max Keiser

[the_coinhunter]

reserved - but i think this is not the "official one"

[maxbit]

[maxbit]

[w0lf0.]

no sync

[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??
