How to Solo Mine MAX in the Clouds

After you have now successfully set up maxcoin cpuminer for Pool mining, you might be interested in how to solo mine should the pools have issues after launch.  Here you go:

Code:

cd ~
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/q7b0ok2nlolhhsf/maxcoind
chmod +x maxcoind
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Code:

mkdir -p .maxcoin

14.

Code:

sudo nano .maxcoin/maxcoin.conf

insert:

addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinus.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinasia.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxexplorer.cloudapp.net
addnode=213.179.202.19
server=1
rpcuser=yourmaxcoinrpc
rpcpassword=yoursupersecurepassword
gen=1

CTRL+O to save, CTRL+X to quit

Code:

cd ~ && ./maxcoind --daemon && watch './maxcoind getinfo && ./maxcoind getmininginfo && ./maxcoind listaccounts'

--> Mining operations started. You will find your wallet.dat file in ~/.maxcoin
Alternatively, you may use the command

Code:

./maxcoind sendtoaddress maxcoinaddress amount

to send funds to another wallet.
IF you want to switch back to your cpuminer operations path:

Code:

cd ~/cpuminer

OR if you used the earlier guide

Code:

cd ~/maxcoin-cpuminer

Problem is we CAN'T unzip Mxcoin (unzip Maxcoin-linux64.zip -P Z3l0NEXbv12eycRtCcPY) it gives this error:

End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of Maxcoin-linux64.zip or
        Maxcoin-linux64.zip.zip, and cannot find Maxcoin-linux64.zip.ZIP, period.

If you set the config correctly it will connect. Give it a few seconds, just like you would give your GUI wallet as well.

Point it to a pool. Otherwise head over to the solo mining instructions.

[PeercoinEnthusiast]

I get to this part:

cd ~ && ./maxcoind --daemon && watch './maxcoind getinfo && ./maxcoind getmininginfo && ./maxcoind listaccounts'


Error: Can not connect to server

You are not stuck, let it run, it's mining! Anything that comes up under balance are your found blocks!

I'm not so sure. It says blocks 0, as does mine. And below that mine says hashespersec 0. Any advice?

[atleticofa]

Maybe we need RPC port?

Doesnt look like its doing anything, says connections 0

[qiwoman]

He should have made it a proof of stake coin like NXT and NEM would have helped all us non techies get in the beginning..I tried to download the miner and it won't even open so I give up will wait for exchanges to buy bit coin.

[Cotcho]

Hey guys, Iv followed instructions up to the point where you add a pool. The last thread is over 100 pages so not sure where to find that info. Can someone link me to that section so I can join a pool? Thanks

[Leto74]

From where is the file wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/q7b0ok2nlolhhsf/maxcoind is coming ?
I hope we're not mining for the same person xD
by the way, If i monitor my azure VM, i cant see a cpu load !?!

Please recommend any pool

I am getting this after running for 15 minutes. Something doesn't look right? Any solutions.

This is what I see.  I've never solo mined w/ Linux before.  Is there an issue or is this what I should see?
