[pbjam]

anyone mining this?

[cryptohunter]

anyone mining this?

well it was released 10 days ago and i don't see the qt. So probably not.

[Ripcurl99983]

I am. Difficulty has spiked today, but still low. It has a linux QT which I use, I'm thinking Windows QT should be released soon. I think this will be a good one.

[pbjam]

diff looks great, might get a couple and see where it goes

[Bigeyeone]

With all the new coins coming out everyday, if you don't have a windows qt client at launch you basically communicating that you dont have much dev skills, who want to mine a coin, with a dev behind it that can't even compile a windows GUI client, not me, dead on arrival

[uasteel]

So I just wanted to get the word out. For some reason the wallet created more than one receiving address and it threw me off at first, (partly because there is no gui). I admit I did panic for a moment, because I am not familiar with running the wallet purely over the cmd prompt. So I ended up changing the address that I was mining with in the pool http://p2pool.neocities.org to the one it was now showing. Again I wasn't very familiar with the command side of these damn things lol. Needless to say I am now. However, I did message the admin at the pool to see if there was anyway for me to get back what I had lost, because I had changed the address I was mining with. He was very helpful and ended up sending me a 100MAC of his personal coins because of everything. To me this is an awesome way to keep me mining on a pool. If I wouldn't have spoken to him I probably would have given up. Now I will keep mining my heart out to show support for a pool that had my back even though it was pretty much my fault. So thank you to the admin at http://p2pool.neocities.org for helping out a newb and hopefully we can get more people mining on this pool. They will take care of you!!!

The MAC p2pool has been doing quite well.

The pool has been getting lots of blocks and miners getting NICE payouts


Hope to see this coin on the exchange soon

PM for price

I had spoke with the developers (from machinecoin.de) last week, they are actively developing the coin. Not sure why there is no windows qt. I sent an email using google translator to find out more info today. I am thinking of compiling a QT .exe from the source and forwarding it to them if they are not planning an update, but I am assuming they are.

I'm thinking they could use some help marketing in the U.S. That's why I posted here.

[deeppurple72]

You never know if a new coin is going to be on exchanges.

its best to get in on coins as early as possible before big miners
hop on it and difficulty level gets too high.

I've already mined alot of MAC on the p2pool
just in case and before its too late in the game to get it as easily

Although I'm a Linux-PC user, I do admit "MAC" has a nice name...
like internet MAC address or APPLE's MAC OSx  - lol
even MAC'n'Cheese! ( is there a CheeseCoin btw?  LoL )

[meelvanchris]

I kinda like it. Stays true to it's name with 3 command windows open showing black and white letters and numbers =)

Anyone know any more commands then stated on website?
Like see orphans vs blocks vs immature? or maybe some other usefull ones?

[meelvanchris]

Any can help me tough..? now id like to pool up.. but kinda in the dark on how to find my machcoinadress?  who can help?

From what i figured, you should do "machinecoind getnewaddress"

That's how i got mine MUdRA6NKLQufNATHLCF2zBzmMq7L21nL5p


I'm trying to find out if i'm mining this or not, lol

Thanks a bunch. Now to keep fingers crossed and hope i typed it correctly and will actually receive some coins
And i would say yes mine! couldnt find anything better atm.. And even with little win support it is kinda fun... besides less people mass jumoing the network.. no gui client after all

machinecoind listtransactions : gives overview of all transactions / blocks immature orphans / immature received...

WINDOWS USERS & Machinecoin + screeny's part 1

1 Download the windows-daemon file like you would any qt from http://machinecoin.de/installation/ and extract it.
2 Follow the instructions on the site/ the next part will be same instructions but with pictures

2.1 Open a command window and go to the downloaded file
- open a command window by -> Start -> search -> & type cmd
- navigate the command window with   cd..  ( go back one folder) cd <name of foler>  (to enter folder)
- go to place you extracted the file you downloaded called : machinecoind

2.2 type :  machinecoind



it will blink, downloading blockchain, and go give you all kinds of info.... (dont worry bout info.....)  now close the window.

Now navigate to <users><username><appdata><roaming><machinecoin>  (like you would with any other coin)
Create machinecoin.conf file here like you would with any other coin.

Code:

rpcuser=<Username>
rpcpassword=<Password>
rpcport=40332
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Now repeat step 2.1 and 2.2 and your wallet it now open. It wont do much except blink but it is now active and you can solo mine if you like, just like any other coin. Pool mining is always better tough ^.^

part 2 i will explain how to use basics of the wallet

[Ripcurl99983]

Well, I can no longer effectively solo mine with my pc, so that is progress. Also, once you get your MAC address (pun intended) if you post it on the comments on machinecoin.de, they are giving coins to the first 100 posters.
