Thoughts on Max Keiser's coin (Maxcoin)

[GigaCoin]

Do NOT trust the maxcoin-qt windows program!!! I have been waiting over 1/2 hour for my transfer to show up. It still says " 0/unconfirmed".

Buy another coin. Stay away from this one.

Wallet instructions instructions http://forum.max-coin.net/index.php/topic,19.0.html

There seems to be an issue on Windows 8, however. A fix should come soon.

Thanks for the instructions but I had already synched the program and had even deposited to my wallet previously. With my previous deposit the indicator showed almost immediately that there was a transaction in progress.

With the withdrawal it took almost an hour just to show that a transaction was started, even after synching. It eventually went through.

I've used several wallets and none had exhibited this behavior. They all showed an indicator almost immediately.

Did you withdraw from an exchange? If so, which one? Or was it a mining pool?

I've made made few withdrawals from two exchanges and deposits without a problem.

Don't listen to this user (Herp).

He's one of the devs of this debacle.

Trust your instincts and common sense.

I'm not "one of the devs". Just someone with an interest in combating the trolls and those with hidden agendas. There are plenty of those on these forums.

[contraband]

Well it's still worth something

And if you believe the devs and Max dont have some youre nuts

[evoked22]

For a coin that came from a respected bitcoin fan i thought it could have done a lot better.

This can be a lesson for other coins to learn. Do not scam people by having a messy launch. Not very happy

[lagur]

How do you calculate max coin per day based from hashrate and difficulty or something like that?

[Alphi]

It's also obvious that Realsolid of mcxNOW was part of this entire scam operation having the coin almost instantly available for trade, which is something he has never done for any other coin.

~BCX~

everyone who was waiting to mine on the day of launch knew well beforehand that MaxCoin would generate a lot of interest. why should an exchange owner worth his salt be any different?

I was there on day one.. does that make me part of the conspiracy?
I've been critical of the entire process but hey if there is money to be made then I'll mine it honestly...

Herp obviously has skin in the game but does that make him part of the dev team?

I don't think so.

There is a reason why the devs aren't talking on the forums.. and that is so they don't have to deal with the fallout from the launch debacle..
I doubt anyone would willingly come online to face the abuse waiting for them from angry windows users, so why would Herp if he was part of the dev team?...
clearly those guys are only in it to make money so from their perspective they don't have to answer to their critics.

my guess is Herp is either a pool operator or a miner and that is motive enough to pump...

These videos sum up most of our thoughts...

actually those videos sum up YOUR thoughts.

you are one of a million reddiots that popped up here few months back and decided to take over this place like it's 4chan or something.
It used to be typical to have a conversation and not just post meme jpeg's, video links and shallow snotty one liner comments.

If you have something to say why not go to school and learn how to speak and then come back here
and type something out like a big boy. Does that sound reasonable ?

ahhhh no wonder he's been running his mouth to me over time last month lol

or is he a hired puppet coin spammers use or maybe a coin clone buyer that likes to parade around like pro coder
because they paid some other useless no skill douche to copy and paste a github repo and change the icon ?

[Herp]

This Spoetnik dude shows up in every thread where we see Bitcoin Express. Are you guys one and the same? Would make perfect sense. Either that or you are close buddies. I'd opt for the 1st though.

I wish there were more pools like 1gh, im sick of having to register everytime I mine a coin. If other pools were the same then we would likely see more decentralisation

[Wipeout2097]

Until 1GH relinquishes central control of the network, MAX will go nowhere.

1GH could simply split into two pools and solve the problem or limit new users.

They haven't, which speaks volumes on their power grab.



~BCX~

Your posts also speak volumes...  

[Spoetnik]

i have gravitated to liking that guy because he ends up saying what i am thinking a lot. lol
many of us have a lot of similar views on things.. and BCX is his own man he does want he wants how he wants and i can respect that.
i may not agree with all his decisions on things but so what i am a mature individual and here for the same reason as him..

but is this high shool ? do we have to ramble on like children about who likes who or who's cool on every topic ?

the Doge coin crowd personifies what bothers me last few months in Crypto.
a flood of lippy 4chan brats going all reddiot on us here crushing Bitcoin talk with useless garbage like meme pics..
people always posted them but it's gotten a 1000x worse since this got popular and most of you decided to show up. (with your new gpu's you jacked up prices on all over)

a ton of you don't have the ability to stay even remotely on topic and abuse this forums lax rules..
if it was up to me i would ban the living shit out of most of you kids here for simply posting retarded garbage.
and the sticky saying just that proves my point 100% too, the staff here agree and had to put their foot down and say enough is enough.

and remember many of us are double or triple or more your age AND we are entitled to having a mature conversation
just as much as your allowed to run around acting like spoiled brats out of control with a wad of cash / btc.
I really think little shits online forgot who they are talking may be someone who was a computer god even before they were alive.
When you spend decades learning, building experience before some little shit was even born yet it's irritating having to be lipped off by one.

You know you guys babble on about your special little communities but wake up call kids.. there is one community and it's call Bitcointalk
this is not school and we don't to have little clique's of cool kids acting like bullies & shit.. Oh noes the Doge kids don't like Panda kids !!! quick get on Facebook about it..
I don't care who you are or who's dating who.. get it ??

now what the fuck was this topic about in the first place ? can we get back to it or should we add a who likes Spoetnik or BCX poll ?
quit being brats and grow the fuck up !

I'm not denying that, I appreciate BCX too. I just see that there's some amusing drama around this coin

[Alphi]

It would seem Maxcoin will be pretty ASIC proof due to this built-in feature

it would seem you need to do some more reading.. SHA3 Keccak ASICs already exist. its only a matter of time and scale before they are deployed en mass against coins like MAX
even changing the PoW may not work because multi-algo asics exist too and there are only so many secure Hashing algorithms one can safely use..

Indeed and no matter how you slice it this is an advantage over many other coins even if uber super ASICs will come to market at some point.

[toxicwaltz]

Just another P&D coin. I'm sure it will die in the next few months.
