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

[ernie-]

MaxCoin - keccak sha-3, and CopperLark coin - keccak

https://github.com/Eropi4/cgminer_keccak/releases/download/3.6.6-keccak/cgminer_366_keccak_win32.zip

CGMiner for CopperLark

CGMiner for Windows  [3.6.6]

How to connect:
Connecting to the pool via the command
cgminer --keccak -o http://pool.******.***:port -u [user] -p [pass] -w 64

How come it's not 3.7.2? That was the last GPU version released.

This one will not work, MaxCoin uses a different SHA-3 implementation.

windows wallet link ?

windows wallet link ?

6th Feb (today)  7:30 GMT.  Launch was delayed.

Does anyone actually think they have a chance to get a decent amount of maxcoin? With the kimoto gravity well in place and the huge amount of attention this gets, we will see 1k diff in a matter of seconds?

with 1 highend cpu you will be lucky to get even 1 coin after a day of mining?

so this will be a gpu coin at launch?.

Q: So is it CPU only? Will I be able to use my Butterfly Labs ASIC when it arrives (... any day now...)?
A: Using Keccak as a hashing function renders current Bitcoin ASICs and the upcoming Scrypt ASICs useless on the coin. GPU parallelization of Keccak is possible but currently does not exist for mining with our implementation of SHA-3.

[rednalexa]

Yes, seems like you can mine with GPU yes!

i can download either gz or bz2 of each, does it matter which one i use.

WTB Maxcoin anyone selling?

[elixir]

WTB Maxcoin anyone selling?

not for 10 1/2 hours atleast.

[Spoetnik]

so far cudaminer the nvidia gpu miner is kicking the bloody crap out of any cpu's lol

[goldennebula]

WTB Maxcoin anyone selling?

No coins have been mined yet,anyone trying to sell you maxcoins before official launch is most likely trying to scam you..

Hopefully this cuda miner pops up tomorrow. Good thing I got my old GTX 560 ti OC still set up and ready to go! Some guy was saying he was getting 55Mh/s on his GTX 560.

To put that in perspective, using the maxcoin cpuminer that was released today on a Digital Ocean cloud server, each CPU core was only getting around 600Kh/s in benchmark mode. You would need 91 CPU cores to match that one GTX 560

You can go ahead and compile it on Windows

Yeah I seen the source. I mean the compiled binaries for Windows. Otherwise I'll have to install Linux and do it the old fashioned way!

[ndunks]

Anyone know if this is really going up on: https://mcxnow.com/ - as of now, nothing up on site but a lot of people saying they read on chat..

[gaston909]

Make sure you are ready to buy Maxcoin cheaply! Register on coins-e.com NOW!

I think it is safe to assume the price after the initial launch will be a little unreasonable... probably a great time for miners to sell though.

Not sure, OP only mentioned coins-e who claimed exclusivity... probably better register on both and trade on whoever lists first!

EDIT: probably going to be more liquidity on coins-e given the announcements of the devs.

So what i've to do to mine that on windows with GPUs ?

How long do you think it will take to settle?  A lot hype saying it might not turn back..
