The news comes after poor security configuration in a website associated with magacoin exposed the email addresses, passwords, cryptocurrency wallet addresses and IP addresses of users who have bought in to what promoters describe as the digital currency for the MAGA community.

More than 1,000 people have so far signed up to the pro-Trump cryptocurrency magacoin, including conservative media personalities and Republican figures, the Guardian can reveal.
The news comes after poor security configuration in a website associated with magacoin exposed the email addresses, passwords, cryptocurrency wallet addresses and IP addresses of users who have bought in to what its promoters describe as the digital currency for the MAGA community.
The data also reveals that the lions share of the cryptocurrency so far produced has been allocated to the self-described creator of magacoin, a pro-Trump consultant who owns an LLC associated with the cryptocurrency, and a Super Pac associated with the same consultant.
The information, provided to the Guardian by a self-described hacktivist, unveils the reality around the cryptocurrency whose creators say it is made by America First Conservatives out of frustration with Losing the Election and a desire to fight back by supporting MAGA candidates.

"Even if throwing money into Trumpcoin was done in good faith, a Trumpanzee by any other name will end up just a broke (as his money flows into Trump's pockets). "
Corrollary: "A Trumpanzee and his money are soon parted--if Donald Trump has anything to say about it."

But I kinda have to admire the creators of this crypto.
They are milking it for all it's worth.
