To the people claiming that there is no development taking place, are you living under a rock? Or do you just choose to ignore everything that doesn't confirm your bias?
BitXATM are launching 1,000 ATMs in the US, all of which will be capable of transacting in MaxCoin. They will also have PoS devices for point of sale purchases. How many other altcoins can make that claim?
Maxcoin also has raised $100,000 in crowdfunding to create a physical silver MaxCoin. The demand seen for this was huge which shows how much support there is from community to fund worthwhile projects.
MaxCoin will also be accepted on StartJOIN in the coming weeks for the purpose of making pledges towards crowdfunding projects. StartJOIN is the only serious crowdfunding platform embracing cryptocurrency, and is aiming to be a large player in the crowdfunding market. This gives maxcoin a unique use case. StartCOIN was created specifically to incentivise use of the platform, and is in no way a competitive threat to MaxCoin in this regard. The two currencies complement each other, and there will at some point be a market to exchange maxcoin and startcoin.
MaxCoin has also been adopted onto the NXT multigateway decentralised exchange. Yes, that's right. A decentralised bitcoin:maxcoin exchange! How many other alts are talking endlessly about this but getting nowhere? The maxcoin devs don't just talk, they act... and get things done.
In addition to that, the TXTCoinsNow project will enable payments in maxcoin without the need for a computer, a smartphone or even an internet connection. This project aims to bring max to the unbanked people of the world who do not have the privilege of owning expensive computing hardware. All that is needed is any regular phone to send and receive payments in maxcoin.
There is also a project underway to create an FPGA for mining maxcoin. This project has raised almost $20,000 in funding to date and already has the hardware ready to go as soon as the VHDL programming is complete, and we have a working SHA3 implementation interfaced with cgminer.
We also have paper wallets, QR codes, a working minikey format, deterministic wallets, an ad-free faucet that pays out more in Satoshi value than any other faucet. Work is underway on an android wallet, and our web wallet is about 80% completed. A port of bitcoin-abe is also in progress. There's an active community on maxchat.info and maxtalk.org who are dedicated to making the coin a success, and a community bounty program will soon be launched in a free market based attempt to develop the infrastructure of the coin.
The devs also acted quickly to patch an exploit of the Kimoto Gravity well retargeting algorithm that was used to successfully attack auroracoin, making maxcoin the first safe KGW coin. We take blockchain security very seriously. And despite a prolonged period of a single mining pool controlling over 51% of the market, no 51% attacks were attempted and now the mining community have addressed the issue such that no single entity controls a dominant share of the network hashrate.
The dev team are also in talks with major silver bullion dealer in the UK to discuss the possibility of backing the currency with silver. This is a long way off, but reveals the fact that the team are serious about the long term success of the project.
These points merely scratch the surface of the development work that is currently taking place, so how anyone could try to honestly claim that no development is being done is beyond me. You are either being dishonest in your criticisms or else you are being wilfully blinded by your own biases.
Some of the comments in this thread are actually laughable. And some of you wonder why the MaxCoin devs have no time for this forum? What is the point of trying to convince bitcoin evangelicals who don't want to be convinced anyway? It's a waste of time and energy, and time will prove you wrong anyway. Enjoy the schadenfreude while it lasts, because MaxCoin will have the last laugh...
