Why Maki?
Makicoin was originally launched to take on the restaurant industry.  Drawing it's cool name from sushi, Makicoin is now a community sponsored coin.  It is open to developers who want to build services on an established crypto platform that already has assets in place to leverage.  When you envision your services with Makicoin, you'll inherit a welcoming community, block explorers, crypto exchanges, and much more!

Join us in making MakiCoin YOUR coin, and lets have fun with it!

About
With Maki we have opted for stability over a rapid deflationary design
as reflected in the 4 year cycle for the block reward halving.
This will help maintain a Equilibrium in the price of Maki so businesses,
merchants and consumers alike can feel more confident that there
won't be wild price fluctuations due to technicalities of the coin design.

Since we are serious about Maki we had to implement KGW from the start
to protect the coin from mass variations in network hashing power.

The Premine of 0.15% we thought was fair to cover initial giveaways,
promotions , marketing etc to help get Maki off the ground
and let the community take control.

Scrypt? Why not SHA256?

[maki]

I will answer everyones questions in order, it seems this forum doesn't like new accounts... so have to wait 10 minutes between replies.

@bumblebee33:

Currencies just need to work, innovation is for space travel , as long as a medium of exchange can take place between 2 individuals with the liberal foundations virtual currencies were
built on then we are happy not to have innovation but to support what is currently out there and secondly we want to use proven technologies because we need to provide a strong and reliable
coin for our future merchants. No 2nd guesses to what our target market is going to be!

We also feel 2nd gen currencies are moving away from the ideals that bitcoin started with and becoming more centralized where the distribution is in control of the developers.

As you can see we only have a small premine as we feel it's up to the community to make a success of any currency and not the creators, with that being said we do have big plans for the coin
at our own expense.

@sq

Thanks for adding Maki.

@Chromosoma

We felt that Maki is a currency for the people and not for the few individuals with the greatest network hashing power, what this causes is a few miners to have too much control over one currency.
We know this can also occur with Scrypt but not to the same degree.

Yes, but why would people choose your coin when there are already 500 other more (or less..) established coins out there?

90% of the coins created are mainly for pump and dump (scam) coins, this is not the case with Maki as emphasized by our small premine. With Maki we will have a specific target market for it and
we believe we will have the right liquidity to satisfy everyones tastes.

Thanks Matoy, it's great to have our first pool for Maki. We will provide you with the source daemon about 15 minutes before launch.

[cryptowho]

what is your target maki?

[trdiablo]

Sound good, will give it a try at launch

[One Six]

What is your target market?
Why that target market?
What change will you bring to that target market which others can not?

Our target market is going to be explained more when we update the ANN for live release

To sum things up virtual currencies will work differently to your fiat ones which are controlled by governments and central banks. We believe corporations / businesses will back there
own virtual currencies going forward.

[maki]

Maki also needs a block explorer to be added after it goes live.

You may now subscribe to the Maki website before the Launch.

ANN updated with new info about Maki.

It's about time a coin is released with a tiny premine, 99% recently have been scammie BS coins with 50% premine claiming massive promises. This is one the community can actually get behind. I will support it on release with some mining power.

Thanks KenChan,

From the start we wanted to make it clear that Maki is not a pump and dump scam coin. We are serious about the vision set in place for the currency.

Just to add that it's very important for us that the community gets behind Maki and we didn't want any doubts in peoples minds. The small premine will be used for giveaways
and adding essential services.

So did mazacoin, look what happened to that. Just because you don't intend for Maki to not be a pump and dump doesn't mean people won't pump and dump it.
