mcxNOW just added MaxCoin to the exchange!

1gh.com pool has been paying me and i only had 4 cores! The coins are in my wallet already.

You have to make sure that you were not using the cpuminer from the maxcoin site but the one from https://github.com/1gh/cpuminer

That sounds rather serious.

I have to agree, these guys are incredibly sloppy for such an anticipated launch.

The have not tested their code.

I found 3 bugs trying to compile on Linux.

Some show stopper bug trying to compile on MacOX snow leopard.

Windows binary was buggy haven't tried to compile that yet.

The cgminer source is broken.

The main website is useless.

They haven't updated this thread.

Twitter and Reddit are useless ways to organize information.



What stratum version are pool owners supposed to use with this coin?
No wonder they are not up yet.

Of course not, didn't you see the episode, it was a couple of guys from one of the local Uni's or something like that who wanted to make a coin. I guess they figured if they call it Maxcoin they can get a plug on his show.

except it doesn't do sha3 or allow you to select the block retarget.

Does your miner say the shares are being accepted?

You obviously haven't seen many alt-coin launches then. Remember YAC with one pool and the crazy client.

That's a normal starting price for a new coin. It will change quickly.

The front page says the pool hasn't found a block yet.


This thread is more informative

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450539.0

Someone posted here yesterday that only a few lines of code in that version need changing to make it work.

All this whining from miners will be good, it means the coin price will be up, as it's not spread around.

How do you know he difficulty is high? Do you have some magical,reference point for sha3 coins to work from?

I would hope they are, considering the source code for it has been up on github for over 4 hours, well before the launch time.

Nice people

Yeah well the consistent 502 errors were rather convincing.

Anyone got a working cgminer for win32 yet?

I am not set up to compile on Windows 7

Considering there seems to be quite a few people solo mining already, I am surprised the pools are not up yet!

I have been solo mining for about 15min, haven't found anything yet but it all seems to be working.
