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

[ocminer]

look at the first page, there are several pools listed.. those also do not spam their url multiple times in the thread

[miningpoolhub]

This is getting frustrating. 1GH doesn't even allow you to mine using sgminer 5, they only allow their own custom cgminer 3.7.3. Please dev fix this coin so other pools can mine!

http://maxcoin.miningpoolhub.com accepts sgminer 5 and any other major miners.
Currently we are not showing block finding stats since web wallet is not synced yet but mining wallet is synced up and finding blocks as usual.

Come and mine together.

I would like to mine somewhere other than 1GH, but your site is showing this header:

Is the mining pool site experiencing issues?

Wallet for website is separated with mining wallet. Our web wallet was synced just one hour ago and busy catching up to update recent mined block info.
Mining is working on as usual, and pool page will be available as calculation finishes.

why would they care what miner you use ?

your probably doing something wrong..

me i use a custom version of cudaminer i made up.. works fine, always has.

You can safely mine on Suprnova, 1GH and MiningPoolHub.

I am currently working on finding the fix for the stuck wallet. By using "-reindex" and deleting the stored checkpoint using "resetcheckpoint" you will be able to synchronize your wallet temporarily - it will become stuck again once you shut it down. I am working on this with several community members and some outside help including 1GH's reorder (thanks guys).

Can we start payout with current blockchain?
Can you confirm that you will not revert to previous height?

1gh pays directly per round but we pay out accumulated amount so it may result some disaster when this blockchain is not confirmed as official later.

Thanks guys.

I will not revert the blockchain unless I absolutely have to. We're looking for a fix that will maintain this blockchain as the correct one.

Update: it seems that old blocks are being accepted by the client during re-indexing and that this is causing the issues with the network. I will release a fix as soon as I have one tested and working. Thanks for the patience.

I am not doing anything wrong. Sgminer 5 works without issue on dwarfpool and I would imagine all other pools. Also, just because your Nvidia cudaminer works doesn't mean an AMD with sgminer/cgminer will work properly. There's a few pools out there other than 1GH that only accept shares from a custom miner.

You probably have to use --diff-multiplier 256 (or ccminers similar command) accordingly ... Some pools need that (suprnova not for maxcoin)

i have plenty of experience working on all miners not just cudaminer/nvidia
and i have used all those pools too and i don't see what your talking about.

your being vague too.. what does "NOT WORK" mean ?
does your miner say shares rejected ? what msg is returned ?

There may be an issue with the sgminer setup and whether it's mining at Keccak 256 vs Kecaak 512
Trust me if there is anything i know about this stuff it's working on miners so i am not a noob

was trying to help you buddy because it's not really possible for a pool to do that.
the most that will happen is you will find some pools may have a tougher hard coded difficulty requirement
which would make it harder to get shares accepted but even that would not give you 100% rejection rates.
i tested that theory out and learned the had ways on a bunch of pools last year with Quark and Securecoin eh.
sorry buy what your claiming is not very believable.. and it's a nasty accusation too LOL

edit:
you said..

that is what i have an issue with..
it may be simply that the other miners have not been updated to support the pool (coin) yet.
accusing the pool operator of "Locking out" so speak other miners is not too believable.

still unable to sync wallet even after doing upgrade to 9.2.1 and "resetcheckpoint".  What is "-reindex"? and how do I do this? I am unable to locate conf file in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\MaxCoin. Does anyone have a conf example?  I am only using the RPC within qt wallet.

MAX on DwarfPool is enabled

Don't worry, if you don't know how to tweak, just wait for a proper release, as luke said a fix is on the way. Just be patient.

MAX on DwarfPool is enabled

Good news, way to go!

Brilliant, thanks Atrides. I'll keep you and the other pool ops in the loop as to my progress and allow you plenty of time to upgrade in the event that another fork is needed.

i have only this in my conf..

Code:

# Seed nodes
addnode=node.maxcoin.co.uk
addnode=wombat.dar.sh
# Provided by max-coin-dice.com
addnode=94.23.80.59
addnode=198.50.155.236

create a shortcut to maxcoin-qt.exe and then add that -reindex to your shortcut (windows example)

my shortcut on Windows 7 is just like this..

Code:

C:\CryptoCoins\MaxCoin\maxcoin-qt.exe -reindex

run the shortcut then open the debug console up and enter in --> resetcheckpoint

or wait for a new update coming soon as the other guys suggested
good luck..

[fcode]

What happened to Maxcoin.co.nz? They go belly-up and not tell anyone?

[Vlad2Vlad]

Cryptsy wallet still unable to withdraw.  Pretty unreal!

download the 0.9.2.1 wallet,
-reindex
resetcheckpoint
it works fine,and recv the paid from 1gh.
but now it is very low profit to mine maxcoin

Bittrex is still disabled too..
Not exactly healthy having the coin frozen everywhere for a week right when it's at a long time high in value.

Here's an example of a custom miner that only works with a specific pool:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652849

The issue with sgminer 5 and 1GH is that sgminer sits at waiting for work from pools. My config works just fine with other pools except 1GH. It's not a firewall issue either. I can duplicate this issue on multiple rigs. When I download and use the custom 1GH version of cgminer 3.7.3, and use the exact same configuration I use with dwarfpool (substitute the conf setting algorithm : maxcoin for keccak : true) it works without a problem. I also tried setting keccak : true with sgminer 5, but it doesn't matter what I do because it won't get any work from 1GH.

Edit: Now that DwarfPool is back up and running I am happily hashing away with sgminer 5 again

I think that's why the price shot up.  Miners can't sell any coins.

So now you have a week's worth of Max Coins waiting to me dumped.  That means the price will get slammed in a day or two when deposits start working.

Can't wait.
