[ANN][MAX] MAXcoin - PoW, ASIC Resistance, Keccak GPU Mining

[fcode]

Probably ASIC-able? SHA-3 way way easier than scrypt. In fact it's pretty much the same as the old bitcoin sha2. Now whether or not anyone thinks it's worthwhile to make a maxcoin sha-3 ASIC... well, probably not at this point.

I wish the alt-coins would just change scrypt slightly and thereby destroy all ASIC's. I mean it's fair if everyone can buy an ASIC but that's never the case.

Yes, indeed

I wish the alt-coins would just change scrypt slightly and thereby destroy all ASIC's. I mean it's fair if everyone can buy an ASIC but that's never the case.

Same here. It's already somewhat moving to scrypt n-factor which is good.

I personally don't really see the point of another ASIC algo like standard scrypt is becoming. And I'm saying this despite owning a GS3355 myself, as well as many Bitcoin ASICs. There is a market for CPU only *and* GPU only coins, IMHO.

[lemons]

#MaxCoin will be added to ypool tomorrow (Monday) 11 pm UTC.

[niothor]

I'm also mining and stacking it. Don't care what doom and gloom says. Not exactly alot of competition out there atm anyway. Pump and Dump flavors of the month. This will rise againnnn lol

Was the competition for the crappiest coin still opened? I thought maxcoin won it in such a way it won't be held again.

Not a lot of people here seem to like MaxCoin, so here is a proposition.

I'm selling my 0.5 acre freehold land plot in Dedham, Essex, UK for 75,000 MAX - any takers?

[pkuqsq]

maxcoin is a shit coin. i regret buying it cos i lost about 1 btc in a few weeks. 

+1 fuk MAX,  I lost about 10 btc in a few weeks

You bought too soon, coin inflation is massive for the first week or two, there was no way maxcoin (or any coin) could hold such a hyped price. 270k coins produced per day, it becomes less significant once there are more coins in circulation. Even the most terrible launch will all be history and forgotten about in the end.

[Bitcrea]

what do you think guys, is it a good time to buy Maxcoin now?

[ocminer]

Still active without a hiccup:




Stratum
Vardiff
0 % Fee & 0.001 withdrawal fees (auto & manual)
Proportional Payouts as soon as the Blocks are confirmed

Please make sure to use the right miners ! You need the keccak algo !

It's not the coins fault , it was your bad judgment and greed

[niothor]

what do you think guys, is it a good time to buy Maxcoin now?

You know you won't get a non biased answer here , right?
Also , nobody knows for sure , and if he would , he wouldn't say it on a public forum.

[soilworker]

Think in the opposite way, someone won 10 btcs out of maxcoin because of your stupidity and buying high. Looking at the overall downtrend of maxcoin i doubt now is the right time to go long.

that's right you can spin it and twist it any way you like SCRYPT is dead  the future is cPoW , probably the permanent solution also distributions will shorten, so we will see this effect where Devs choose froma  number of algos  and then a random function to make a cPoW  (complex Proof of Work) distribute it in a relatively short time, then have an ongoing reward.

just like Quark. (Intel loves us)

the point is, there is no other solution, so the market will move this way everything else is relative noise.

cPoW even makes redundant the need for N factor or Memory hard algo -

With cryptocoins it is almost always hard to tell when to buy or sell. The best strategy is to start buying or selling a little then buy or sell more if price
moves against you or in your favour. Here is my MAX investment so far, notice the gaps where it was obvious price will go down more so I removed
buy order to not end up with too much MAX at high average price. I'm now "fishing" at 0.00025 for a total of 0.8 BTC and hoping for massive dump
to fill my orders at 0.000125 and eventualy 0.0000625, that would massively help to reduce currently not so good average buy price (the last column).

So, by utilizing a variation of Martingale betting system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28betting_system%29) one can end up with
very good average price. Above you can see that even though I started buying at 0.0014 if all buy orders end up filled my average price (no profit if
I sell all at that price) would be 0.00012506 with total 4.66 BTC invested and around 37k MAX bought. Even if price would stay at 0.0000625 at that
point I would be in loss for only 50% around 2.33 BTC. If price later goes up 100 times, to 0.012506 which is very possible given it was at 0.005 at
one point already, that would return 4.66 BTC > 466 BTC a massive profit if I manage to sell all MAX at 0.012506

If price stays around current levels I will just move my buy orders higher, to 0.003 or so, or even buy at around 0.0035 for like 0.8 BTC in total.

Anyone who thinks he or she will always enter or exit market at absolute bottom or absolute top is a noob trader. That is not how investments work.

is maxcoin can mine by asic btc ?:

[colinfx]

what do you think guys, is it a good time to buy Maxcoin now?

I wish I could say we are at the bottom. Downtrend still in force, supply still outstripping demand, even though less severely than last week.

Not a lot more downside from here though before it becomes unprofitable for miners to sell. May touch 0.00025 as some will panic sell.

If you are looking to obtain a small quantity <25K then try to time the bottom.

If you are looking for a larger holding, you may need to start accumulating soon (and work on overall price average) otherwise your actions will push the price higher while you try to collect.

Either way, those who purchased in weeks 1 and 2 were throwing money away and it was obvious due to the coin inflation level. If there was block rewards halving weekly I could understand, but block halving ~1 year - there was absolutely no hurry to purchase MaxCoin in those first weeks.

Either way, those who purchased in weeks 1 and 2 were throwing money away and it was obvious due to the coin inflation level. If there was block rewards halving weekly I could understand, but block halving ~1 year - there was absolutely no hurry to purchase MaxCoin in those first weeks.

Maxcoin started with difficulty 0 so I would really like to know what you guys who bought early and bought a lot were thinking. Even right now, with
prices as they are, those who started mining at the very start are very much in plus and will stay so for a long time, until eventualy (and hopefuly not)
difficulty drops down to 0. Even then, if block time averages 30 seconds those who started mining at the very start would still be very much in plus
because block time average at the very start was just few seconds! All in all, even if Maxcoin was designed to not halve but stop coin generation 1 week
since start the price at the start (as it was) would still be extreme high and it is so because, as you can witness with EXC, ZET and PMC, once some coin
generation stops and coin fails to attract many users (not much use for it) not many miners actualy give a damn about coin anymore ... difficulty goes
down a lot which means you can not ask a lot of money for coins. Not many are so retarded to pay super high price (and thus make early adopters very
rich) for a coin that has no use and that means less and less people will be mining, difficulty will drop to compensate and finaly even if price starts to
match low difficulty not many would put much money into coin because of one simple fact = low difficulty means almost anyone can successfuly do
51% attack. Basically, as proven by EXC, ZET and PMC, useless coin is going nowhere and all gibberish like specs, algo, whatever are totally irrelevant.

Bitcoin is not around 600 USD because it was the first cryptocoin. It costs that much because it is by far the most useful cryptocoin.

Just to make it clear, any cryptocoin which at this point in time started with difficulty 0 or similarly ridicule low values is an early adopter scam, period.

Some changes on DwarfPool

1. It's possible to separate your workers without changing the wallet-id now. This allows to get personal vardiff, if you have many rigs located behind stratum-proxy.

To specify the workers just enough to add in username (which is as wallet-id now), a number after point: YOUR_WALLET . NUMBER

Example:

Code:

 HA5FPuWibнvoqiMPeUVptyGAwqg7y7uV5C.1
 HA5FPuWibнvoqiMPeUVptyGAwqg7y7uV5C.2
 HA5FPuWibнvoqiMPeUVptyGAwqg7y7uV5C.3

The main way without number works as before.
 
2. Implemented a monitoring of your workers. In case of disconnection from all servers you get an email within 5 minutes.

To enable monitoring just run miner with an email instead of your password. To disable it enough to restart the miner without email as password.

Monitoring works for each worker and IP separately. With WORKER_ID you can separately monitor your rigs.
