What's your cgminer config? Also do you have a rpcport= specified in your maxcoin.conf file?

Here's my maxcoin.conf

Code:

# MaxCoin Example Config
#https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File

# Seed nodes
addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinus.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinasia.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxexplorer.cloudapp.net
addnode=213.179.202.19
addnode=91.121.8.25
addnode=213.192.56.163:8334

# Enable RPC
server=1

# RPC information
rpcuser=ausername
rpcpassword=apassword
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcport=2121

# Mining
# gen=0

Comment out gen=1 or change to gen=0. This turns off the wallet miner.

Make sure you have rpconnect=127.0.0.1 this lets you connect to your localhost
Add an rpcport, it can be anything. I set mine to rpcport=2121.

In cgminer change your config to

Code:

cgminer.exe --keccak -o localhost:2121 -u ausername -p apassword

substitute ausername and apassword for the username and password you set your rpcuser= and your rpcpassword= to

That did not fix it for me unfortunately :[
Cudaminer works with http://127.0.0.1 but cgminer does not.

Which cgminer are you using?

I'm using the one from http://maxdl.1gh.com/cgminer-windows.zip?nocache=0.3246260860469192

Oh sorry. I think this version of cgminer that just came out actually doesn't support solo mining. It only works with stratum.

You're better off connecting to a pool anyway. Even if you had gigahash speeds you wouldnt find a block for weeks at this difficulty.

I'm using this pool right now pretty successfully.

I'm not sure about that, i've already gotten 10 blocks together with some friends at around 1 GH/s all together.

(4 blocks today)

I guess someone intentionaly compiled cgminer without getwork support so that you can only mine at pools.

Lame.
