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

[roede94105]

*** Summary ***

For those that don't want to wade through endless posts:

1. Until we get additional config information, we're just guessing right now
- That includes the possibility of GPU miners
- That includes pools

2. No, the client has not been released yet

3. 7:30 GMT. If you're not sure what that means: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

If I want to buy? sorry but too many pages ^^

The pool to work they will need to change the stratum server to work with the nw encryption PLUS the MPOS PHP code to allow keccak SHA3 + all the encryption mods.

MAXCOIN is not normal keccak sha3(sha3())! its much more encryptions.... but lets wait and see in a couple of hours in the source code etc

i signed up to this a few days ago, it should send any announcements to your email but ive not heard anything yet.

http://signup.maxcoin.co.uk/?r=http://t.co/edBEaCtSyL

everything will be explained in the announcement, hopefully they will not release a gpuminer at launch and we can all happily mine cpu style untill the diff rises.

The ignorance of people not bothering to read the first post is astounding.

Way to mine the genesis block live in the recording !

If you watch closely though it looks like it failed... oops   
I'm sure there's a rule about live demos, possibly sods law lol

Quote from the OP page 1 to explain that one:
Q: Haha! I saw your laptop said 'Aborted' on the television! ROFL!
A: This is actually supposed to happen. It's ugly, but it's true. See here and ctrl+f 'error' or 'aborted' - it happens both when generating the merkel hash and when generating the genesis block. We told Max this happened ahead of the filming but he requested we keep it in for legitimacy instead of some CSI style zoom to enhance or two person keyboard hacking.

My 3770k is waiting. Will RAM be important?

[metallicelmo]

So what exchanges will support Maxcoin from launch? I'm trying to use Coins-e but that site won't work on my iPad...

[griffinriz]

Come get your miners ready.
https://max.poolers.org

For god's sake can anyone explain how this will work? Do you just set workers and use cgminer exactly as if you were to be mining an scrypt coin? what would be the command line be for the .bat file?

Also why in hell there isn't a wallet mining tutorial in the OP, or just a mining tutorial in the OP for everything? Why are they waiting for the launch.

[Juel]

why oh why!!

Lets wait and see....

Your website has cgminer instructions.  That won't work.

Unfortunately it is the only confirmed exchange so far.

Incorrect - Bittylicious will also be an exchange (well, a one way sales portal). We just need to get enough sellers on board that are likely to have Maxcoin.

[calkob]

it sounds like a bad idea to have everyone at 7;30 all trying to download the wallet at the same time, that could be a nightmare

[crossf4de]

Hi,
i've few question:

-Will a i7 - 2600k  @4,7ghz  enough to mine alone at least first few day?
-If yes what's the difference in setting between mining alone and mining in a pool?
-How do i set my mining program to mine a coin alone?
-When the time come we would download the wallet at the same time and in the same moment this will cause problem?
-People who have already wallet and the mining conf will have advantage?
-There will be any "instruction" at the release that will explain the fast way to start mining in order to put all people at the same level?

[MarkoDev]

Just so you know, eCoin is already live using SHA-3.

You can go to our thread to download SHA-3 miners since they should work on this too.

So not incorrect 

It is the only "Exchange"

I guess people use the term "exchange" in different ways, from a full exchange to somewhere you can buy or sell stuff (exchanging fiat for coin). You can have this one
