Thought I would share what I found to get maxcoin wallet synching.
An important step to get it working is that the maxcoin.conf file must be moved into the user's App folder:-
- On Windows -> C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\MaxCoin\maxcoin.conf
- On Linux -> ~/.maxcoin/maxcoin.conf
- On MAC -> /Users/<YourUsername>/Library/Application\ Support/MaxCoin/maxcoin.conf

These were my steps to get a working wallet:
1 - unzip the download
2 - run it ONE time, wait 1 minute, and then close it.
3 - move the maxcoin.conf file to one of the above folders dependent on the OS you are using.
3 - Edit maxcoin.conf to match the following AND change the password
Code: [Select]

# Seed nodes
addnode=maxexplorer.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinus.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinasia.cloudapp.net
addnode=213.179.202.19
addnode=91.121.8.25
addnode=91.121.8.25
addnode=wombat.dar.sh

# Enable RPC
server=1

# RPC information
rpcuser=maxcoinrpc
rpcpassword=<PUT A RANDOM STRONG STRING HERE>

# Mining (set to 1 to enable)
gen=1

4 - save the file, use save as - select All File format then save
5 - Run the wallet and it should start to synch.

hope this helps!

Hi I've just started using the bitcoin client, i'm a fan of max kieser and am starting to get interested in bitcoin, appreciate any info on the following questions
1 - is their any way to get a daily email with spot rate on bitcoin
2 - for semi-large purchases, what do the experienced bitcoiners recommend?
