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

[makeithappen25]

I have about 30 connections and I don't think it's worth it doing it solo with our CPU. We need a pool and this launch is extremely effed that there is no pools.

So many of us here to connect but no pool.

YOU CAN ALL STOP MINING THIS COIN WITH CPU - GPUS ARE GETTING ALMOST 200 TIMES THE SPEED OF A CPU !! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.4480

Sitting on 4 connections now. I guess its starting to work 4 hours later Thanks again instacash. Will certainly throw a few coins your way later on. Also I made sure to sign up DO through your referal link so I hope you get credited.

Just out of interest what of hashpersec are you getting out of the 8 core drop?

This guide was originally written February 05, 2014, 06:39:31 PM before the first launch which was unfortunately delayed. Back then, Pools were promised right at launch time and no GPU miners were available. The maxcoin-cpuminer was published, however, which lead to the early development of the SHA-3 GPU cudaminer. The guide is originally meant for pool mining, I had added the solo mining part on the evening before launch (6th Feb) in order to counteract the frustration of no pools and to get the mining operations going.

NEED POOLS

edit:
@AspireMining: it fluctuates, not every droplet is the same. My 8core droplets have between "hashespersec" : 740121, -- "hashespersec" : 1061739.

GPU's seem to dominate the coin. I'll need to catch some sleep, be well guys!

"difficulty" : 249.69058356, is going up strongly...

Can someone tell me why my droplets CPU load is only around 50% when mining maxcoin? Should it be near 1005?

STOP CPU MINING

You are losing TIME AND MONEY!!!


People with Cuda Nvidia GPUs and cudaminer are getting 100mhs or more per card.

[heigua]

can you release centOS version wallet?

[monkeybars]

Thanks for your help, I was able to get it up and running.

But it doesn't look like CPU mining is much use at all. Waste of five bucks Digitalocean account :/

[AspireMining]

Well it seems all your efforts were in vain instacash Looking at nvidia numbers.

I have an AMD GPU farm but haven't seen any information on if its mineable with AMD as of yet.

[billiardsf]

Instacash, earlier I installed Screen and am currently on around 5 connections.

If I close the SSH link now will the VM drop everything it's doing it? Or will it continue?

[netadvisor]

Newbie question, in the conf file:

rpcuser=maxcoinrpc

Are we supposed to change this and if so, to what?

[megatronman]

Do we need to restart the deamon if we edit .maxcoin/maxcoin.conf to add more nodes (Linux)?
Thanks

Thanks Instacash....You are the man today!

I am seeing "hashespersec" : 1,532,797 for 8 core Azure instance. Sad thing is this: "networkhashps" : 36,861,891,890. I guess we should have just waited with GPUs. sigh.

Yes, restart the process.

killall -p maxcoind

[mgauffin]

pool: http://max.1gh.com

-a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u WALLET -p x

wallet is the user and pass is anything

Thanks. OK we get it. Our puny cloud is not match for an army of GPUs.
Stop the giant text though. I'm old and I think I just lost an ear drum there

[Butcherboy78]

how do you find your wallet on a cloud server?

God, I hope this is not some kind of scam pool, because I'm sick and tired of this maxfailcoin and would like to finally get atleast some coins for my time wasted...
