hey maxcoiners ! we got testnet for maxcoin blockchain LIVE & new VM images to get devs working, expanding our list of seeding nodes & getting a new DNS seed happening to speed up sync speed. We are set to start work on the Maxcoin DAO in feb :-) looking at you @AragonProject !

We encourage developers and community members to experiment & build their commercial or academic projects on Maxcoin.

Keccak was also chosen as the official successor for SHA-256 after being a finalist and finally winning a 5 year long international competition run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and as such chosen as the successor to SHA-256.

Schnorr Digital Signature: Includes “Native Multisig” A future feature for Bitcoin Uses Secp256r1 (NIST recommended) Increased Performance Increased Scalability Anti-Spam Attacks Interactive Signature Aggregation

Maxcoin addresses use Schnorr for signing algorithm allowing exciting developments such as “native multisig” to be used, and an upgraded cryptographic field for key generation and an increase in performance.

Maxcoin uses Secp256r1 as it’s cryptographic field to generate key pairs for addresses: A carefully-designed elliptical curve from which points are selected and used to initialise the public and private keys.

Maxcoin Features: Algo: Keccak (SHA-3) PoW Sig: Schnorr Supply: 100 million MAX Coins Mined: 62 Million + Block time: 1 minute Block Rewards: 8 coins per block Halving every ~4 years Last Halving: July 16 2017 Transaction Fees: Close to Zero Difficulty Retarget: Every block KGW

Special Note: Keccak is also much greener than SHA-256 and many other hashing functions, reducing cryptocurrencies ecological footprint.

Maxcoin is your coin, it’s in your hands, the early adopters, miners, developers and enthusiasts. Maxcoin is here for all.

I got 10 @fpgaatomminer .. so I'm a keen Maxcoin miner :-)
