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

[coinhash]

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.

Dependencies:
   libcurl         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
   jansson         http://www.digip.org/jansson/

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

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

Your options are pretty limited right now,  Cudaminer hopefully.

but cudaminer is for nvidia gpu , or i'm wrong ?

OK, let me get this straight:

- This is coin is SHA-3 in order to be CPU minable only
- It soon will, or already is, possible to mine with GPU anyway
- No botnet protection

Why not make it a Scrypt coin in the first place? Am I missing something?

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

I would love to buy some maxcoins too, but four or five forums have many clients talking about how they've been ripped off, can't get their money out, or their money disappears, and no help from support.
If I type in google "coins-e and scam" there are so many pages, blogs, forums, who are against coins-e.

Is there an alternative? Does Max Keiser know about this?

Yes you are missing something. sha3 is better.

I never get mining to work, looks like I am headed over to this coins e exchange to buy some -

DO NOT USE THIS SCAM EXCHANGE - CHECK THE FORUMS TO INFORM YOURSELF ABOUT THE GUY WHO RUNS IT AND HOW MANY COINS HE HAS STOLEN FROM CUSTOMERS

[HashDog]

What's difference between CopperLark and MaxCoin? Name and wallet design?

If its a scam why oh why are the devs giving this exchange exclusivity?  I thought it was a bit better since new ownership....I guess we should tread carefully then. Will remove the link in my signature to be safe!

Plz post link to miner[windows/Linux]/ and wallet downloads in thread #1 and / or here: http://www.maxcoin.co.uk/
you make a lot of people happy!!! 

thanks!!!

[krneki]

Let's hope for good start and that mining on laptop will give some coins.

[Mitchell]

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..

I just asked RealSolid:



So yes, it's going to be added on McxNow

[instacalm]

Ah, glad to see MCXNow back. So quick and smooth, the way it's supposed to be.

It truly puts Cryptsy (& Coindup... ) to shame.

Nope.

Copperlark's and eCoin's specific Keccak implementations differ a great deal from MaxCoin.

Until now there's the official maxcoin-cpuminer source as well as the nvidia CubaMiner (GPU) source available.

A few people lost some coins there....

I personally didn't have any issues with BTC or LTC deposits so far...

The GPU miners just made us CPUman cry.
