The fact that Maxcoin's developers are still working is worth noting.

I am an idiot.

Just as this post proves that ASICs and FPGAs exist for all these algorithms.

I've worked with FPGAs.  They can be reprogrammed in about 1 minute to a completely different 'system'.

Parallel processing as in running the same 'code' on one chip.  Depending on the complexity.  1000s.

FPGAs are actually better because of the reprogrammable part.  ASICs are designated hardware like a video card is designated to output video to any display.

I haven't worked with FPGAs for 18 years.  But they were extremely powerful back then.  The Altera software costs an arm and a leg.

I'm not an expert by any means.  I could not implement a full replica of the MOS 6502 on an FPGA, because it's impossible.  Look up the undocumented instructions and how coders used them to do impossible things on everything that used that CPU.

Opencores website has existed forever.  They had open source implementations of anything for FPGAs.

I wrote a small synthesizer.  It used the UART code, simple 1 bit DAC code, coded my own oscillators (based on the C64 SID spec sheet).

The analog filter had to be implemented on a CPU (on an FPGA).  I dropped the CPU.  Good CPU cores need IP licenses.

Serial type of processing on an FPGA is possible, but eats up all the resources fast.

I even experimented with the VGA core.  Had VGA output to a screen working in 1 hour.  Needed few resistors on the GPIO pins.  That's it.

So as long as there is code that can mine using that 'new' algo, anyone with a cluster of inexpensive FPGA dev boards is way ahead of the game.

Why not creating a discord for official? So community can track the development and mutual discussion.

Most people actually believing in this project are bag holders who lost a lot of money with this coin. There is no development or any other reason to believe in this coin. The only option to rise is some pump and dump from some whales to create even more bag holders. The project was bad from the beginning and nothing more than a way of enrichment of a few on the back of many others

This is dead project people already lost their interest look over the volume on exchanges because of bad reputation of these exchanges. But if you want to keep this as fun than it is nice to stake little amount in it and forget about this. If you are lucky than it will work nice for you.

Its not bad coin, i like it, but guys, please add your coin to any normal exchange like CryptoBridge for example. I'm not personally like it, but it much better than YoBit.

This coin is quite interesting, i want to ask about the price of it

I have been following this project for a long time! I like how it develops! It's an excellent project and a big serious project.
MAXcoin has everything that makes a big ICO. I'm curious, is not it true that your road map is out of date?

Hi maxcoinproject Dev, which GPU is suitable for maxcoin specification or algorithm? I have only AMD rig, actually RX 470, is it good? I am new here in the cryptocurrency mining. Thank a lot.

What it seems to me this is a very long sync wallet. In General is it worth it now to give this project the attention, he's still alive or not? I never see the activity of the developer.

Big, serious project. Active thread. Seemingly great community.
What I'm trying to say here is that MAXcoin has all the making of a great ICO. I'm wondering, though, am I stupid or is your roadmap kinda outdated?

What is the advantage of this project in comparison with other similar projects? In addition to the declared MAX Speed, MAX Security, MAX Protection? What's its difference?

149 weeks now, after a night. I guess it will take few more days to sync, what a pitty.

The wallet syncs very very slowly, still lagging 180 weeks with 15 active connections.
Is a recent maxcoin blockchain available for download somewhere?

Still alive? This coin have a history. Dev still around.cool.

The big question is who is actually behind this coin these days? I don't think that any of the guys backing it earlier are still in here.

This thread needs a real-time feed  Grin

The Legend has returned....

What is MaxCoin?

MaxCoin has made a come back into the world we know as Cryptocurrency. Originally born early 2014. Named in honour of Max Keiser. With a current supply of 61,445,805 / 100,000,000 MAX.

It's purpose is to be a usable digital currency through merchants and ATMs around the world. Some have said it to be dubbed as the #LTCkiller being MaxCoin's main rival. Completely community driven project much the same as Bitcoin with a quality developer team who will stop at nothing but success for MaxCoin and there community of MaxCoiners. MaxCoin pro-actively aligns itself to the core principles of interdependence and decentralisation. Whilst combining the strengths of individuals through positive teamwork, they are creating a true eco-system of human interaction and collaboration. MaxCoin is here for all.

Features

MaxCoin is an open source, old school (no pre-mine), community driven cryptocurrency featuring the biggest standout in any crypto being next generation encryption SHA-3/Keccak with Schnorr Signatures. With close to zero fees, fast, block time ~ <1minute and difficulty re-targeted every block with Kimoto Gravity Well.

POW (Proof of work) whilst also being ASIC resistant.

No ICO, No pre-mine, No Advertising, No Donations, No Fund Raising, No Bounties, No Airdrops. They do not want your money (unlike the majority of cash grabbing pre-mine/ICO's)

One of the biggest (if not the biggest) crypto influential people known as Max Keiser is also proudly supporting MaxCoin who he called Silver $5, Gold $400, Bitcoin $3.

The future of MaxCoin could not be any brighter, so if you missed the train with many crypto's (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum) then there is no better time to capitalise and make a difference in the world we live in on this opportunity and join one of the best quality telegram communities that is available. (Also where you don't see "When Lambo" every 5 seconds!).

It is a really big project. I like and want to participate in this project.
