Quark and Maxcoin are not created by Max Keiser he just gave them a thumbs up I guess.
Startcoin however is his brainchild and he is the creator of the coin.
50% of the coin is premined indeed, if you have a StartJoin account and you donate or have your coins on that platform you get rewards.
Furthermore the premine is used for development and donating crowdfundprojects.
I personally like it because I can donate to charity and see the updates what is happening.
Guldencoin and Digibyte are 2 coins you really should check out, those are my personal top 2 coins.
http://timeline.guldencoin.com/ you can have a quick look what they have achieved already it is simply amazing
https://www.youtube.com/user/DigiByteCoin/videos They currently have a video coming up every week with all updates.
Sure 50% pre-mine on a high supply shitcoin with no advancements like that,
Then Max gets $3,000,000 in investment from poor sheep to pump his own pre-mine,
well done Max you've done it again...
but I won't be investing in the shit, if he wanted to help crypto his crowdfunding platform would be based on Bitcoin or another currency that was already created, why make a new one? he's a shill.
