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

[Vlizzjeffrey]

It is rigt dont worry

Guys,  WU value is way off compared to normal Scrypt, right?

I'd like to know this, too. My hash rate is 1.17 Gh/s, yet my WU is only 264/M. This can't be right ...

Again, new to SHA-3 mining, but I believe it's indicating shares/minute, and would thus have no easy mathematical correlation to hashrate.  The Scrypt measure for WU might have been coincidentally closer to the hashrate based on how fast it runs compared to SHA-3.

Personally I never understood optimizing for WU.  If hashrate is high, and rejects, stales, and HW errors are all low (zero, ideally), then WU is going to be as good as it can be.  It's got a huge element of luck in it, so optimizing for it makes no sense to me.  There's no "lever" you can adjust to directly affect it.

the new cgminer is bugged? work only 1 gpu to me  

[onliner]

Finally threw the towel in and gave up on CPU mining.  5 days & .2027 maxcoins later. 

Switched over to Amazon servers with NVidia Grid K520 cards & can't get the cudaminer to work.

I connect via terminal services and run the cudaminer_start bat file (yes... have put my wallet info in there) it looks like it's trying to run but it gets stuck in a loop.

The following "cudaminer -1 K600x16 -a keccak -o stratum +tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333/ -u -p x   Ooops"

then "goto loop"

then repeats.

Anyone have any idea why?  Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

WTF The following "cudaminer -1 K600x16 -a keccak -o stratum +tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333/ -u -p x   Ooops"??
WTF is "-1"? Should be "-l" ( L )

Post bat file. How many gpu cards?

@ onliner -

Thanks for the reply.  That 1 was a typo on my part, d'oh!

Here is the bat file that I'm using, got it from the 1GH site last night:

@rem motd
@echo MAX.1GH.COM
@echo ===========
@echo Please replace our demo address with yours.
@echo Finetune launch config "-l K600x16" to reach the maximum performance.
@echo

:loop

cudaminer -l K600x16 -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333/ -u mywallet -p x

@echo Ooops
goto loop


This just not working

Add "pause" after cudaminer to see the error.

And run!

Post bat file. How many gpu cards?

4x 290s, now 0 cards work and 0 WU

Code:

cgminer.exe --keccak -o stratum+tcp://max.smalltimeminer.com:3355 -u xx.1 -p xx -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 27400 -I 19 --gpu-fan 70

Get rid of lookup gap and TC, change intensity to 13

with -I 13 my 290s do 400 mh/s but with this version others do 500-600

is it ok to change the local wallet address to a coins-e address?
I did it, but don't know if it'll work

Yes same question here, is that right? usually means your mining like sh$t...

Do not use coins-e as wallet!!  This exchange not always deposits money.
Use mcxnow, bter or local wallet!

@onliner

added the "pause" as you suggested (thanks for that) and I still have nothing.

Can you or anyone confirm that all I need to mine are the 4 files found in the \cudaminer-2014-02-09\x64 directory that I downloaded from the 1GH main page last night?

They are:  cudaminer.exe, cudaminer_start.bat, cudart64_55.dll & pthreadVC2.dll

Thanks

with -I 13 my 290s do 400 mh/s but with this version others do 500-600

I don't think so.  Best I've seen is 450.  Try OCing your 290s to 1050-1090/1350-1400 and see what you get.  I bet you'll be right around 450 when you're done.

As I posted earlier, if anyone has proof of 475Mh/s or better on a 290, I'd like to see those settings.

I think you should ALWAYS send your coins to you own wallet on your pc.. When you mine in a pool, do a test run to see if payout works with a small amount just to check if it all works.. Never ever store coins, no matter what type of coin, on an online exchange..

[dminer69]

anyone mining with 4 6950s ?

MaxCoin now trading @ bter price going up!

[itsik78]

MaxCoin now trading @ bter price going up!

True!!
MAXCoin can be traded on Bter now!
Here's a link that reduces the fees to 0.18%!

It's currently selling at about 10% higher than mcxNOW.
