MaxCoin | CPU Cloud Mining Guide | MAX VPS // has been LAUNCHED@6.2/7:30 GMT

[drm]

what would be unacceptable usage to digital ocean?

2x16cpu droplets?
5x8cpu droplets for example?

I am unsure how far to push this.

[weedoge]

So I guess rather than the new cpu coin, maxcoin is actually going to be the new/only nvidia coin? 

eCoins cgminer may work

eCoin's (and Copperlark's) specific Keccak implementations differ from MaxCoin.

Until now there's the official maxcoin-cpuminer source as well as the Nvidia CubaMiner (GPU) source available.

To answer your question, jwinterm, the coin was originally meant to launch as CPU-only but due to the fact that the maxcoin-cpuminer (revealing its SHA-3 implementation) was officially released early on and the launch delayed... we now happen to have the situation of the GPU minerd already developed before launch.

Im retarded,  can you please write a detailed description of how to mine maxcoins with windows azure?

I managed to join and create 3 servers, 2 x8 and 1 x 4; i downloaded putty, but got somewhat stuck there. Im thinking perhaps i might just give up and try and buy some on launch day, but would still like to have a crack at mining with azure if anyone has some advice

after ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" you'll have to actually build the binary by compiling the source:

Code:

make

How to prepair keccak cgminer configuration for MaxCoin ? There will be just some pool when I'll have to register and than put URL in cgminer config like in other currencies or it will be something different ? Thx.

How about CYGWIN?
Do have openssl and libcurl..

I think they updated the CPU-miner and your dropbox link will not work.

Hello Instacash, for first thank you a lot for this very nice guide, i would to know after i setting the first instance on AWS, how then can i copy the image and will launch a few before launch?

[Bobsurplus]

Whos got some MAXcoin for sale here?

[pastet89]

Isn't Amazon EC2's more efficient than Digitalocean? 

[stratos]

is it possible to setup solo mining?

[Elmit]

Ok, it seems I am ready.

./minerd --benchmark spits out for each cpu and total khash/s     I believe that is all I can do for now.

When and WHERE will I get the pool, poort, user name and password?


New to that, what can I expect when I start:
./minerd -a keccak -o http://pool:port -u username -p password

Is there a wallet available, or how do I see my mined coins?

[mgauffin]

miner is out: https://github.com/Max-Coin/cpuminer

[stratos]

miner is out: https://github.com/Max-Coin/cpuminer

so do we need to go through the steps again?

@instacash  Is it possible to sole mine using oceandigital??
