[xorrbit]

Guys,

I'm using this instruction to compile both on Windows and my remote Azure Ubuntu: https://gist.github.com/xorrbit/8848780

I got stuck at this step: "11. Run autogen.sh:  ./autogen.sh"

Code:

dude12@Ubuntu1:~/cpuminer$ ./autogen.sh
-bash: ./autogen.sh: Permission denied

When I try to run it as root:

Code:

dude12@Ubuntu1:~/cpuminer$ sudo -i sh ./autogen.sh
sh: 0: Can't open ./autogen.sh

Please advise how to proceed!

chmod +x autogen.sh

Thank you mate, I've compiled it on my Windows 8.1!

Remote Ubuntu is different, though:

Could you tell, what might be a problem?

It looks like your libcurl isn't up to date, try:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-dev

Guide updated with the maxcoin cpuminer source from the official git repository @ https://github.com/Max-Coin/cpuminer

It's the same as posted earlier.

hey man im right here using your cloud method
Test whether your compiled minerd launches fine:
Code:
./minerd --help
It'll return all its command options.

I'm looking at all of the commands right now but im stuck... what do I do from here just give me any mining pool i dont care which one as long as it copies and pastes?

The pools won't be working until the wallet source is released.

[leduc]

this coin look so complicate... why not release already compiled stuff

[crittd3]

OMFG  what a fucking mess. where to fucking start. click here go there compile this create a  account here. Spend 10 bucks and add a droplet . is anyone one else as confused.

[indiekiduk]

I have the official wallet for mac zip, and just waiting on the password to be released.

Could someone please tell me how I use the wallet with the miner? Sorry I'm a beginner.

Me!

[instacalm]

ok either way not sure what to enter at this point the last 5 times I've entered the next step I received this error

[2014-02-06 12:28:45] HTTP request failed: Could not resolve host: pool
[2014-02-06 12:28:45] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

what to do?

You are good to go! You get this error because no pool is available for you to set yet.

Once you have the data (it will be released on time), use your miner as stated in the guide:

Code:

./minerd -a keccak -o http://pool:port -u username -p password

Put in the actual data after when you have the info.

If you want to mine with your wallet, open your debug console and type setgenerate true

If you want to use a pool, just follow the pool's instructions in its "Get Started" area. It'll show you how to connect. Then you can payout to your wallet directly from that particular pool.

PS. It was just announced on Twitter that both Pool and Solo Mining can be done from the wallet.

I'm a noob. I followed the instructions and it worked. Just try again and pay attention.

Can you spell it out how to solo mine?

[davidpbrown]

@maxcoinproject 3m
Pools reporting they are still having minor problems - be prepared to solo mine.

hmm

The QT client would likely have a similar option to other coins to be a solo miner but that's not the same as needing a cloud terminal daemon.

[Undertow8977]

I have another potentially dumb question.... I have 20 cores on azure (8, 8, and 4). Do I need to install this on each one? Or is there a way to link them all together?

[nesic1]

and where d'FUK is windows wallet, fair lunch yea right

[instacalm]

and where d'FUK is windows wallet, fair lunch yea right

I'm not a MaxCoin developer, but I'm pretty sure the Windows wallet will be up for grabs before the launch

[humorme201]

install on each!

[JoshERTW]

I got the previous miner (from the dropbox) installed to the point where I can successfully bring up the help menu, but as I was doing so, instructions on Page 1 got updated to:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/Max-Coin/cpuminer

Am I good to go? I tried entering the line above and it just tells me "you need to install git"

[crittd3]

Is this all for linux & mac? Is there a windows version yet. Im fucking lost

i also considering going solo with a cloud setup, but i have no clue how to teach the cpuminer to go solo

Yes, you are. The one posted earlier is the same miner.

If you want to install from Github, you will need to install the updated dependencies (git).

Yes, you're. It's been said above.
