Would you trust this man with your dust?

It looks like it consolidates multiple exchanges into one interface.

You go first.

I wouldn't trust McAfee on something that regards cryptocurrency. It isn't because of his cunning and  endless FUDS on Bitcoin it's simply because I know he isn't going to succeed on this. The simple reason being that the best literary critics are people who failed woefully at becoming authors. McAfee is best as crypto critic, and not someone that can help advance it.

McAfee is best as crypto critic

He isn't though, because he lacks the impartiality to honestly critique a project. His view on any given project (be that an ICO, wallet, exchange, service, whatever) is directly proportional to how much that project is willing to pay him or how much money he can make out of it.

This current project looks like it took a couple of guys less than a week to build. If he can lure in a few subscribers, he'll make a profit. That's good enough for him.

MAN.. this thread is making me curious if McAfee ever gets on here and what his alias is.
I must admit, he has never ripped me off, I honestly think he is hysterically funny.
I DONT wanna hang out with him or invest in his stuff. but that scoobie doo font on McAfee Magic really does it for me.

What a ugly looking UI, I hope someone hacks this one hard and vandalized it, LOL, it will be epic. And from the website itself.

Q: Has McAfee Magic been audited and tested before its release?

A: Yes. We are only releasing this platform to the public after extensive testing and auditing processes that stretched months.

LMAO, months? it looks like this is just created in days and no testing has been done. I guess John McAfee just wanted the 'doe' and will be completely hands-offs on this project. Or probably even he doesn't check that website for all we know.

What game he's playing now? Seems like he's actively promoting 'his' exchange on Twitter.

Can't believe someone like him was an influential figure (read: pump & dump maestro) in the past.

I do like those that are positive in bitcoin and that is why I am a fan of McAfee and among his followers on Twitter! He has said many things in the past that forms my investments decisions and I am not regretting those decisions I took then. Some of his predictions were actually the major reasons why bitcoin and other alternatives cryptocurrencies went bullish in 2017. I think if this trading platform is in place many are going to patronise it as it seems he has large followers on Twitter.

Damn, those colors & that font :-/
Please tell me this is a joke or some sort of honeypot to harvest user information.

This can't actually be affiliated with McAffee, right?

[stompix]

McAfee Magic? And nobody mentioned MagicalTux? We all know how this is going to end.

Btw, since somebody has posted a link from his tweeter account, has he gone completely mad?

.@JayPizzle88 in the hospital. He was to keynote as my body double on the Blockchain Cruise two weeks ago. He just woke up. He was poisoned. Please people. WAKE THE FUCK UP!! Our government is a monster. They are trying to silence me. Stop trolling me and see the truth!!!

The resemblance is eerie.

The thing I don't get about people who are dominated by one characteristic, raging paranoia in his case, is why they don't just occasionally get bored of it or question it when it's clear everyone else on the planet is not that way. He's kept it up 24/7 for many, many years now. Even if you're fucked in the head you should retain a little bit of objectivity somewhere.

It's a paid membership it's not for me, it's for whales who trade and exchange a lot, in my opinion this is much better because the guy still has a reputation when it comes to launching his product, his anti virus is his recommendation, but I would love to see more reviews from traders who actually used this.

[malevolent]

Yeah, but what really counts, i.e. his reputation in the cryptocurrency world, well, it's less than stellar. I follow him a bit for entertainment but if I were to send him any money it would be more akin to paying for a circus ticket than expecting a viable product.

[o_e_l_e_o]

No self respecting "whale" or large investor is ever going to touch a platform which looks so childish and unprofessional.

the guy still has a reputation

He doesn't. No one with any sense listens to a word McAfee says. The only people following him are newbies chasing "get rich quick" schemes and falling for his scams.

his anti virus is his recommendation

It's not his. He was kicked out of the McAfee company in 1994. Everything since then has nothing to do with him.

Ahh yes, the guy who gunned down his neighbour , because he was "mean" to his dogs, and sold substantial amounts of narcotics (bath salts) from his home garage surely has a reputation when it comes to cryptography.

You must be full-blown crazy if you've managed to amass any sort of wealth, and to then hand it over to this guy.

I find this one a good read, and quite comical; https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/8utitu/john_mcafee_this_might_be_the_craziest_bath_salt/

I feel you bro where those colors are really unpleasant on the eyes.This might really be a joke but
I'm sure that McAffee is affiliated with this and as long it can generates money for him,he doesn't care
on what people do look unto him.Its none of our business.

[sandra_x]

I am giving it a try- with something I can afford to lose. Reputation of Mcafee? Taken with a pinch of salt. He has always been very critical of centralized exchanges, strong campaign against hitbtc..Let see how this goes.Hackers are likely to make a run for this

[Kakmakr]

John McAfee will promote any shit as long as he gets paid for it. His reputation is already destroyed with all of the scandals and now he is running for President so he needs more media attention and money to fund his campaign. 

I registered with a throwaway account and what I have seen is not good at all. This is not the kind of professional platform that I am used to, so I will not even transfer 1 Satoshi to that site. 

Warning : Use this at your own risk.

Watch Shutter Island. The reason he is like that is literally because he can't do that.
Some people can't use their legs because they are gone.
Some people are blind because that part of the brain doesn't work.
I wager some people are crazy because the stability mechanism doesn't work.

Using a good ol' theme: https://mcafeemagic.com/assets/css/essentials.css

I thought the design looked familiar. Can build a custom trading platform, but can't create a custom design?

TBH, the guy has a new project almost monthly, and then they fall off the beaten path. Not sure what to think anymore.

TBH, I may be wrong, but it's probably a situation where the guys at https://arbitraging.co/ sent an email to the McAfee team saying they would run/setup everything, give him 50% and just wanted his name. I wouldn't touch this.

Why didn't they put any effort into making mcafee's site more appealing? It's almost as if they're targeting the most gullible people to scam as opposed to offering a legitimate service

Well, they probably wanted to get the service out ASAP w/ a MVP, and didn't consider the design to be THAT important.

A lot of times, when these shops make spin-off services like this, a lot of the care goes out the window.

Their own website looks OK, though. They should have known better if they cared to be taken seriously. (but then they'd stay away from McAfee himself, too)
