- The recently launched meme coin, AIntivirus, is reported to expand the legacy of the late John McAfee by introducing products that align with his privacy and security values.
- The team has disclosed that it will be launching an eSIM and gift card exchange in February for users worldwide.
In a June 2021 article, CNF mentioned the death of a renowned crypto billionaire, John McAfee. Fascinatingly, his influence on the industry has earned notable mentions in different reports, with the latest tribute coming from the launch of a meme coin called AIntivirus (AINTI).
In an accompanying blog post shared by the official John McAfee X handle, the team highlighted that the launch is meant to expand the legacy of the late crypto figure.
Analyzing the post, CNF found that the AIntivirus was described as not just another meme coin “but the cure for other meme coins.” Meanwhile, a suite of privacy products has been reported to be released this year with all of them accepting AINTI as payment. To them, McAfee cared much about privacy and security, which would be the project’s main focus.
John was a rebel, a renegade, and we want to keep that attitude with this project. John cared about privacy and security, and good solutions for crypto users, and that’s what we are building. John would have loved to be here today, but we will forever remember the mark he left on so many people.
Product Line-Ups to Boost AIntivirus
According to the post, one of the first products to expect this year is the eSIM and gift card exchange. The launch is fixed for early February and would enable users to exchange AINTI for any esim cards worldwide. Additionally, the supposed gift cards would be from more than 200 retailers which include Airbnb, Amazon, Apple, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Walmart, etc.
In the post, the team pointed out that there would be no Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification. Specifically, there would be no requirement for personal information or email. In March, the team would launch the AIntivirus encrypted email service. This is meant to promote the privacy principle of McAfee and prevent Google from reading emails. According to them, a slight improvement would be made on the McAfee website to boost the interface.
We are also working on other small things like a user interface for the AI John on the website, so you can talk with John. For now, AI John is live on Twitter @AIntivirus. Tweet out a question and tag him, and he will reply.
Fascinatingly, these features have been in development for several months now, according to the post. Beyond that, the team also claims to be working on an anonymous web hosting platform, as well as a completely private VPN service that does not demand phone numbers or email. For now, Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions will be conducted to take questions and provide answers in a blog post format. However, according to the report, this would be done in a few days.
McAfee’s influence in the crypto industry was a “big one,” as the community remembers him for his bold predictions. As noted in our previous post, McAfee predicted that Bitcoin would hit $2 million by 2020. In a previous article, we also discussed his controversial statement about Bitcoin, labeling it as the “real shitcoin.”
