[ANN][MAX] MAXcoin - PoW, ASIC Resistance, Keccak GPU Mining

[Lionkiller1020]

I'm guessing cgminer will be used to mine with cpu
It is rumored that they will release a way to mine with gpu
Does anybody have a guide to mine them with windows azure or cloud computing?

Can sha256 ASICs handle the sha3 ?

Can sha256 ASICs handle the sha3 ?

No, and it's also immune from the upcoming ASIC miners for Litecoin, etc.

Astonishing,

 I have a simple life. Not much happening, although I do have one, one hour lesson, a mere once a week.....

 

 And the launch is exactly in the middle of that solitary hour!!! 

 So Max, my old China.....

 Can you please delay the launch 'til I get home?

So, any thoughts on this true scam coin? Did I get it right - the guy with the TV audience is making his own coin? Sounds SOO COOL. I'm gonna throw in 1 mil dollars as soon as it goes out.

*yawn*

Free market, I'm not mining this coin because of long-term potential.  If they really wanted to support the crypto scene, they could have easily backed a coin with real innovation like Nxt.

I'd bet on it. It's 2:30am in UK right now. Might not get a reply for some hours.

Is there a countdown timer for this coin?

For a supposedly high profile coin, the devs are strangely missing.

That's like saying 1 yard and 3 feet aren't the same length.

Yes thanks I get the concept but it seems a strange way to say it.

[corona]

with all the hype and build-up OP isn't talking/ answering anything. not a good sign for launch.

[andnexus]

Good marketing though as it adds intrigue
