Endlessly repeating for days now.

The bandwidth usage is insane. It's maxing out my upload bandwidth. This seems suspicious.

I'm seeing the same stuff..  weird thing is I first noticed it while troubleshooting my 365 wallet (also sha3).. both are doing the same thing,weird?

It is old versions of wallet trying (and failing) to synchronize over and over.

Just noticed that 1gh.com has 76% of the network hash  

What the hell guys?  They're charging a 3% fee to discourage use, and still 76% !!!

Does anyone here care about the fate of MaxCoin, because if you did you would pay attention and not allow a single pool to have 76% of the network hash, that's crazy!  It opens us up to a 51% attack and sends a terrible message to the cryptocoin community at large.

I just don't understand this, I realize people are lazy, but I would expect those fees to have an effect.  BOOO!

We need p2pool.

what is p2pool good for? we just need the sane miners 


DwarfPool code is updated and greatly optimized!


- Anonymous, no registration required

- True round based PPS (proportional your shares), 1% fee

- DDoS protection by different providers

- Free choice of 3 server locations worldwide US/EU/JP

- Monitoring of every rig via email

- Maxmimum transparency, no stealing shares and no hidden fees!

Come to our pool.

Our pool is the most largest pool on the net except 1gh, but it's below 10% of net hash.
It's so sad.

Give us strength to beat the giant.

But some wallets on the net do not, it is them downloading blocks from yours.

[jacob019]

1gh.com is down to 71% of the network hash.  That's a 5% improvement, but it's not going to cut it.  Right now we're giving this pool operator 100% control of MaxCoin.  He can double spend, he can deny other pools from getting blocks, the coin is totally centralized and vulnerable.  He is now the chairman of the MaxCoin reserve, and he has no oversight.  What happens if something happens in his family and he really needs some cash for whatever reason.  It's something that happens to all of us, except we don't all have the option of screwing random people over for thousands of dollars with no repercussions.  If we can't come together to solve this HUGE problem, then you should take this as a sign and sell all your maxcoin while you still can.

If someone could modify the P2Pool source for MaxCoin, I would be happy to host the first node with 0% fees on a fast server with a dedicated IP.  Look at the Vertcoin community, with their strong P2Pool and well distributed hash.  You other pool operators would benefit from a P2Pool network even if you don't realize it, after all a rising tide raises all ships.  As of now, MaxCoin is a failed coin.

why would he need to scam.  with 3% fee on a pool that constantly holds over 70% hashrate.. he's MAX rich.  it's sad

Agree. 3% fee makes him the richest man in Maxcoin.

trojan.win32.ircbot.cnh

I get this from the maxcoin.co.uk site and the github for the all important latest update of the client.

Win32/IRCbot is a large family of backdoor Trojans that targets computers running Microsoft Windows. The Trojan drops other malicious software and opens a backdoor on the infected computer to connect to IRC servers. The Trojan can maintain multiple IRC server connections simultaneously to receive commands from attackers.

Old style clients use IRC to bootstrap nodes. While it's true there's an IRC trojan inside the client (maybe 1% of the users know how the client works), all it does is connect to IRC and get IPs of other clients to connect to them.

DwarfPool fork fixed.
But it has more then 90 connections, some other nodes are on the wrong fork yet.

is there a list of the latest nodes, or does the new wallet sync automatically?

You need to add nodes for it to sync. These are the nodes included in the configuration file with the wallet:

Code:

addnode=node.maxcoin.co.uk
addnode=wombat.dar.sh
addnode=94.23.80.59
addnode=198.50.155.236

Nodes -> http://goo.gl/K5hqet

I heard Max Keiser say on the Alex jones show that max coin would have a market cap of 20 to 30 million in about two to three weeks, that was three weeks ago, when's he gonna pump this coin?

The only way his is going to change people's mind's about this coin is if the value goes up. (plus he can then start to brag, as I know he is eager to do).

Excellent, thanks for the info on that. No need to panic, haha.

WTF? I just downloaded the new wallet, since my old wallet didn't receive my coins,
and Virustotal says 19 virus/trojans.  Everyone better format and re-install windows.
I have NEVER seen any wallet give over 4 positives in virustotal. Good clean wallets
give zero or one at most.
