I am sorry, can anybody explain in plain english what the advantages of this alt coin are? Except for the sha-3 algorithm, which is not more secure than the sha-256?

In order to be pumped it would have to start low which it won't.

my view doesn't matter, pumps need momentum, awareness rising and people jumping on the bandwagon, with maxcoin before the very first trade awareness is at the max so where do we go from there? perhaps i'm all wrong and don't understand markets at all but thats how i see it turning out. I wish you all good luck with this anyway

Thats not quite how it works but ok...its more about momentum.

[daimyo]

i guess the only advantage this coin has is that it was on the show which isnt to be neglected

Can you mine this coin at the start, when the difficulty is low with a normal desktop?

Meaby yes, but not much

No you can't. Thousands of cpus from botnets will run you over. Assuming there was a functional pool, which is doubtful, you'd get some pennies. Solo mining you'll get exactly zero.

Temperature on other planets goes up and down too yet there is no Fossil Fuel Burning going on, no SUV's. Explain THAT one. (Hint: It's the Sun)

As far as Algore being a BitCoin fan that doesn't negate all his previous Snake Oil Sales.  I'm sure he's a real nice guy in person and he got all choked up when he watched "The Notebook".

Doesn't matter, he's STILL a scam artist.

Ok, please read this article. The Kock brothers who are famous billionaires right wing libertarians funders of Cato institute financed a private independent study on global warming. They were trying to find out themselves what the reality is and not rely on questionable governmental sources.

However, this is what the study concluded http://disinfo.com/2012/07/koch-brothers-funded-climate-scientist-says-he-was-wrong-global-warming-is-real-and-man-made/ or http://www.care2.com/causes/climate-change-deniers-own-study-changes-his-mind.html

Koch Brothers-Funded Climate Scientist Says He Was Wrong, Global Warming Is Real And Man-Made

by JacobSloan on July 31, 2012 in News
Previously discussed scientist Richard Muller, a climate change skeptic whose work was heavily funded by the Koches, has penned an op-ed explaining that his extensive study proved the opposite of what his bankrollers had hoped. Via the New York Times:

Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified problems in previous climate studies that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, I concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. I’m now going a step further: Humans are almost entirely the cause.

My total turnaround, in such a short time, is the result of careful and objective analysis by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, which I founded with my daughter Elizabeth. Our results show that the average temperature of the earth’s land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, including an increase of one and a half degrees over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases.

Our record is long enough that we could search for the fingerprint of solar variability, based on the historical record of sunspots. That fingerprint is absent. Although the I.P.C.C. allowed for the possibility that variations in sunlight could have ended the “Little Ice Age,” a period of cooling from the 14th century to about 1850, our data argues strongly that the temperature rise of the past 250 years cannot be attributed to solar changes. This conclusion is, in retrospect, not too surprising; we’ve learned from satellite measurements that solar activity changes the brightness of the sun very little.

How definite is the attribution to humans? The carbon dioxide curve gives a better match than anything else we’ve tried. Its magnitude is consistent with the calculated greenhouse effect — extra warming from trapped heat radiation. These facts don’t prove causality and they shouldn’t end skepticism, but they raise the bar: to be considered seriously, an alternative explanation must match the data at least as well as carbon dioxide does.

Professor Richard Muller, one of the nation’s foremost climate change deniers, has finally changed his views on global warming thanks to a new study… his own. After conducting research on the subject, Muller says he has had a “total turnaround” and is no longer skeptical about the threats of greenhouse gases, according to The Guardian.

The results of Muller’s study, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature or BEST project, showed that the land temperature has risen 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 250 years, with the majority of that occurring in the last 50 years alone. Even more damningly, the data suggests that the increase is due almost exclusively to human production of greenhouse gases.

Muller, a physicist, admits he was surprised by the findings, but will not deny climate change anymore. “As scientists, it is our duty to let the evidence change our minds,” he said.

The results of the BEST study are even more impressive considering the source. Charles Koch, one of the multi-billionaire brothers who are well known for bankrolling the campaign to deny climate change, funded the research in large part. Fortunately, Muller made an honest go of the study rather than just melding the data to fix his preexisting assumptions.

What distinguishes BEST from previous studies is the massive number of earth temperatures collected to use as the data. Muller’s team amassed over 14 million temperature observations from over 40,000 places, some going back as far as 1753. That’s more than five times the number of temperatures used in previous climate change studies. Furthermore, the data was analyzed by a computer, not humans, to eliminate the bias factor that previous global warming deniers have cited.

The study also examined other popular theories for temperature rise like increased solar activity and volcano eruptions, but neither showed much of a correlation. “Much to my surprise, by far the best match came to the record of atmospheric carbon dioxide,” said Muller.

During the study, another leading climate change denier, Anthony Watts, was consulted on the methodology and found it to be a good way to analyze the topic. “I’m prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong,” Watts said. Since BEST’s results have been released, however, Watts has waffled on this position.

Although scholars generally wait to have their research peer reviewed before releasing all of the data, Muller published the complete study early on to address the inevitable concerns from other climate change skeptics.

“I embarked on this analysis to answer questions that, to my mind, had not been answered,” said Muller. “I hope that the Berkeley Earth analysis will help settle the scientific debate regarding global warming and its human causes.”

Given the current rate of carbon emissions, Muller predicts that the temperature of the earth will rise an additional 1.5 degrees in the upcoming 50 years. He concedes that now “comes the difficult part: agreeing across the political and diplomatic spectrum about what can and should be done.”

Here’s hoping that we don’t have to wait for every climate change denier to conduct his or her own research before acknowledging and addressing the growing problem of global warming.

EC2 anyone?

[rebweb]

Do you guys REALLY think Max needs to launch his own coin?... The simple answer is NO... he has bigger fish to fry and bigger concerns to deal with.

........

Has anyone noticed that this planet is being RAPED of natural resources, to an extent that it will wipe out our species within a few decades, if not sooner.

.........

Aaaaannddddd I want back the couple of minutes I wasted reading this tin foil hat crap.

Anyone do the GPU miner yet?

[RaXmOuSe]

Hello maxcoinproject, what are your thoughts about botnets "taking over" the mining for the "average joe"? It seem to be a big issue for some people claiming that it will destroy the whole idea with this coin(the idea you mentioned on Keiser Report E555) and make it difficult to mine.
 

---



When a coin launch like this, aint there these "mining pools" ready for people without botnets? I'm all new into this, recently invested a small amount on a coin I believe will have a bright future, however, it would be interesting to fallow along this one from scratch as i recall you can't buy coins at the launch. Tried mining once for the try of it.

And yes, I hear people saying Max Keiser is a pump&dump theif and this coin is a scam- but if you listen to his belifes and vision about Money in general @ Keiser Report, you know this guy is far from a crook/thief who wants to steal your money. Ofcourse he wants so make money, but if he can make profits at the same time promoting a good cause for the rest of us "avarage joe's", well, then I'm into it.

All haters should watch these recent episodes of Keiser Report, both him and Stacy are great!-

This coin makes absolutely no sense. Why not just full on clone Quark? Why a stripped down version of it? Why make an inferior coin?
