Whatever the devs claim maxcoin is going to be, it's just hype and distraction. I have strong feeling it will be just eCoin/Copperlark copy coin. You'll see! GPU miners work right from the start. Am I right? Prove me wrong!  

I hope they do.

I would warn you guys against mining this one -- I can compile a SHA3 miner in about 20-40 min on windows and mine this.

All you have to do is fork yacminer (which has GPU code for SHA3-512 already), change a few lines of code so that it's SHA3-256, remove the scrypt code and whammo, GPU miner.

I think this might be an out-the-door scam as they can easily compile a GPU miner too and aren't prereleasing the source code for the testnet beforehand.

will you be releasing the recompiled version to the wild even if they don't?  

Hmm...interesting fact. Actually other should think about this fact also.

No shit. Scammers gonna scam.

If you want to keep Maxcoin a CPU-Only coin, be sure to vote against their releasing a GPU-miner:

Do not want. CPU only currencies is a scam by default, because everybody mines it on the clouds, what drops it's price price below profitable.

can't u say the same about massive gpu farms and multi pools that constantly rape gpu coins ?

[unsoindovo]

Would be interesting to figure out how many coins they could mine with a GPU miner from t0 -> 60min.

and if max already had, a ready GPU miner with 10000MHs power???

you think is it impossible???

and when he had mined thousand of maxcoin... he release a GPU miner!!!  

[efarah2549]

Can we use cpuminer?  Like they still haven't released anything.  IS there intention to wait until 1:30 so they can call it "fair" while getting a huge headstart on every, watch download go down too when everyone goes for the link

[dev03]

Everyone who send 0.1 btc on this adress 1AnKbVNfy433KFEsM3F8NaomZXRRiUGnDK will get in pm download link for gpu miner (only amd cards for now).
When u send 0.1 btc pm me with your tx id and forum name.

When im done with mine in two days i will release in public my miner.

MaxCoin Pool by HashFaster signups OPEN TO PUBLIC

We will get stratum and whatnot up as soon as we can once the coin is officially launched.

Follow us on twitter or Freenode IRC #faster

do you run any other pools?

I don't think the announcement will be made in the middle of this thread. The maxcoin site is a joke. Where is the best place to closely monitor the release ?

I hope maxcoin will destroy dogecoin because it is a disgrace to crypto currency world! this is serious bussiness not a joke like shitty dogecoin is

No "ordinary" people will buy/sell using dogecoin. just look at the logo, joke man, joke...

Fool. 55 million marketcap does not look like a joke. A community of hundreds no... millions of people is not a joke. It's something new, something different. Dogecoin is mindblowing.

Such coin.
            Such Currency.

Eat a dick.

[LAFreeze]

It will have a CPUminer on board, and without having seen it, I do think throwing in an OpenCL or CUDA version of SHA3 shouldn't be too hard. Expect GPU-miners (or ASICs, SHA3 is easy on memory, so it can and will be ASIC-ified) soon enough. After that, it's game over for CPUs.

Right someone give me a quick run down about this mining malarky..

As well as being an absolute beginner i have already smoked far too much this evening is there any of that "typing on a black screen" shit involved? or some sort of executable program or does it just do it from the wallet?

[srb]

my isn't this exciting, I wonder how many mirrors will be available for the mining software?

The forecast could be timeouts on download sites and configuration problems.

[rizardus]

so someone will have gpu miner at start... yes guys this is fair launch :} really....

LOL, you are just another butthurt Litecoiner mad at the fact Doge defeated Lite. Well let me tell you, this coin will be the joke compared to Doge. Im all in for the P&D profits tho.

u guys need to relax, crying about lack of info won't get u anywhere. Rushing and jumping over tables to mine this will only make u confused and frustrated. Just wait for the launch and get the wallet and miner and start mining, either way if ur not a huge miner there is only so much u can do
