If Maxcoin uses a pure Keccak implementation there aint anything stopping us from developing a GPU miner prior to launch or am i missing something?

By all means please go ahead and do it! It's needed, they said they are considering giving a bounty for it.

We will not know until we see the source code There are GPU cgminer patches for Keccak, only two coins so far. CopperLark and eCoin, as far as I know.

Keiser supports crime with new coin release. Love it.

Criminal botnets love you now Max.

You need to fire the consultants for this coin release.

He need to get his shit straight. Probably recruited them through twitter or something... what an a$$-h

alright who is holding into a gpu miner for this cough it up!

Nobody. We need to see the source first to patch cgminer or soemthing. But you can be sure that if they don't release a gpu miner, someone will do the trivial modification sooner rather than later and will use it to mine while the average retarded fool Joe toasts his measly laptop cpu. So, yeah, a coin for the masses! for the masses of botnets, crooks and devs who will tweak cgminer w/o sharing it.

That's on the short term. On the long term here's a SHA3 ASIC:

SHA3 is extremely ASIC-friendly. A coin for the masses, yay!

holy shit. what if he doesnt give a shit about this coin but has invested in the sha-3 asic company.

Yea, ive seen those "patches". They are stating in the pre-ann that it uses Keccak as algo.. Its atleast worth trying the existing Keccak miners on launch day.

what price do you think theyre gonna sell for when maxcoin hits coins-e?

[Evilish]

Looks interesting.

[TreasureSeeker]

Will there be a P2Pool implemenation of the SHA-3, or any Keccak python module available at launch?

I'd like to know this too. Would be interested in adding Maxcoin to TreasureQuarry's select list of coins for p2pool mining.

[Pete_Time4Meat]

Alot of attention, going to be fun to watch what this coin will be doing. Cheers to you Max!

[hoertest]

what price do you think theyre gonna sell for when maxcoin hits coins-e?

The price tha majority is willing to pay, which will be much higher than doge or quark start prices were cause its the all mighty maxcoin. this will result in bad distribution cause buyers can only bite of small pices of the huge botnet pie right from the start.

[thalarctos]

so no --keccak on cgminer?

[wizzardTim]

Can we have info on how to mine this coin before the launch date?

[Nullu]

All other altcoins are trembling right now.

It's interesting to say the least. A big name behind the coin, but it could still go either way. Sounds like the devs did their research though. Kimoto Gravity well? Excellent choice.

Would be kind of funny to see this dumped though. That would say more about the state of the altcoin community than the coin, however.

[guybrushthreepwood]

If Max will be speaking about Maxcoin on his shows, price will go up. Seems to be good investment even as pump and dump.

Didn`t Quark go down once Max started talking about it?

after he admitted he was payed to promote it yes

He admitted it? Where?

On twitter I think, not sure. CryptoCobain (Jordan Fish, one of Maxcoin dev) tweeted about it some weeks ago

Last time I checked he denied ever having been paid to promote coins. Not that I believe him though.

[Robert Lewandowski]

Any predictions for the ridiculous price this will be selling for on Coins-e at the start? Ha...

[Proteu5]

I've been looking into an SHA-3 coin for some while now. These guys definitely pulled off a tough project. Personally, I would be respectful to any Dev. Team and not attack anyone. I'm a little upset you guys beat me to SHA-3 but I'm still glad you got it in.

My feel is, no one should be out to get anyone. If a coin succeeds, it succeeds. If it fails, it fails. A new coin can't hurt anyone so long as the Dev. Team stays truthful.

Although, if a coin and its team is on the WarPath, haha, that's a whole different story.

Cheers on the SHA-3 😉

[hoertest]

Current Quark price will be the psychological barrier, I think It will go for even 5x or 10x that at the beginning. Regular Joes won't just have mined enough to sell lower and the crooks will not dump big amounts into the market for cheap when they see people paying ridiculous prices from the start. Lots of Max will stay in few Hands. Dirty Hands.

[DooMAD]

In all honesty I think the people moaning are those who have large GPU farms because they won't be able to get rich quick from it.

Think this pretty much sums up all the negativity in the thread.  They can keep their silly novelty dog and cat crapcoins.

Coins-e. Another "win" of this "wonderful" crapcurrency. Great choice! lol

It's not like you can launch a coin and say "yeah, I'm putting this on BTC-e and Cryptsy" because it's not up to you.  The exchanges themselves decide what coins they'll allow, so the developers don't really get a choice other than saying "no" to the coins-e offer, which would leave them with no exchange until/unless someone else makes an offer.  Try to be less dense, please.
