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

[EcuaMobi]

MCX will be it.. RealSolid tweeted about it..

do you have a link to that tweet?I

https://twitter.com/TheRealSolid/status/431236623049580544

he's advertising his exchange, i can't see a real announcement

It's quite obvious, but he didn't announce it explicitly on Twitter. He did it on the mcx chat.

He's talking about that right now.

Guys.. but this ?
https://github.com/Eropi4/cgminer_keccak/releases

[NineLives]

wow this coin has gone from hero to zero real quick in my books.
failed lauunch and know a select few get to gpu mine while the rest stuck with cpu
are the devs getting worse or is it just me. are they just out to try make a quick buck and do not care about the future of crypto all that much . i dont know maybe its just me.

Select few can GPU mine?  Where and who?  Please link.

This is on an 8 core XL Azure free trial:

I am rather new to this mining stuff. I think I'm doing the same as you are doing with the same XL system with CentOS, but three issues come up:

1. I don't see any of the "Binding thread..." lines
2. My individual thread hash is ~912 khash/s

I don't know why this is the case.

I think if you want good volume initially it will be coins-e simply because the devs have been pushing it and they have had 1000's of registrations in anticipation of maxcoin.

[rocketron]

i have read that someone got the cuda miner to work for the new algro, but this is not set in stone, just becacuse a benchmark works does not mean it will work with the maxcoin wallet.

[MethMatician]

that cg miner is not working for maxcoin..

[rocketron]

just a point of note,

they said in their statement 13 hours ago that wallets would be available from morning time to allow everyone download.

its now 13.05 and no sign of the password protected wallets...hmmm another fubber i think

[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..

I just asked RealSolid:

http://img.ctrlv.in/img/52f369efe2015.jpg

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

Cheers- any idea why he hasnt gone public with this?  Talk of tweets, but as of now havent seen anything.

[lompocus]

Maybe not a popular opinion, but shouldn't we contact developers to ask for delay before CGminer for keccak would be released? Cause if they talk about fairness, Nvidia guys already have advantage on both cpu and ati users. And I don't see how less fair start could be than it is now.

Another strike against already proven incompetent devs. Where did Max find theses clueless wonders?

Another strike for clueless posters, the devs haven't released a cgminer for Maxcoin therefore any that are out there are not going to work are they.

Cái đéo gì có ra coin hay ko ? delay hôm này qua hôm khác thì coin có giá con mẹ gì

You are either a botnet op or just another ignorant noob. The devs a clearly out of their league with this release.

Yes, i also think so.    However, just forgive them. They are only young college kids. 

[Slay]

Anyone know when the binaries will be downloadable (password protected) ?

Is a regular pool software working with this coin ? Or should it be a custom made pool engine ?

[multibit]

It could be the first altcoin death before birth.

[Spoetnik]

actually what is REALLY funny is after 101 pages none of you care nor thought to ask about WHO made the coin in the first place
which shows me your all 99.99% noobs and your looking to just flash mine ANY coin that comes along
..otherwise you would ask WHO.

post after post trash on the dev's and rofl you don't even know who they are LOLOL

Hey, your the clueless noob that said scrypt was better. I couldn't stop laughing. Scrypt is the most power wasting hardware destroying thing that ever happened to alt-coins. Sha3 is about 300 times faster than scrypt.
