Cool news. StartJoin will soon accept several additional cryptocurrencies (including Maxcoin).  I suppose it is not earth shattering news since StartJoin already accepts Bitcoin and StartCoin and really every alt-coin can be pretty much instantly be converted and transferred via shapeshift to BTC or Start but still a exciting change that may excite and introduce new people to StartJoin/StartCoin.

Going forward I can also see how this move may help project funding. If a project launches its funding period unknowingly at the beginning of a down trend in the price of StartCoin then funds raised will have much lower dollar value by the time they are redeemed/sold.  By accepting multiple cryptos this vulnerability can be greatly reduced.  Also it is natural that many backers (including myself) seem a little hesitant and reluctant to give away startcoin when the price falls to low levels from where they may have bought.  One may have another coin in ones portfolio that is doing very well and want to spend it or donate it near a high where you get more bang for the coin.  

Anyways here is the link below to Keiser's tweet. I look forward to the other strategies they are brewing up What you all think about this?
