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

[nathanghart]

Thanks very much for this guide, I'm up and running in the cloud. This has been a pretty cool learning experience if nothing else.

Assuming that this coin is going to be crushed by GPUs, and that I have a free trial on Azure anyway, is there somewhere better to point the CPU cycles now that I roughly know what I'm doing with a VPS?

quark   or find another CPU only coin

I think I might have mined a coin?

Code:

But my balance is still zero?

Code:

    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
} 

That just means it accepted the share. Sorry.

[gmcneish]

doing everything on page one of this thread to mine with pool, get to this point:

 -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mHgE2axnXQHAGDj6uBxW7HTpLheMpw3ZGs -p x

and get this error: -a: command not found


any help?

u need ./minerd before the command

Lol ok thanks!

Can anyone post a working config of CG/BFG/similar please? As you can see in my post above mine wont work.

So now we wait for a trustable pool to appear. If that ever happens.

[Honourablequest]

./minerd  -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mazcGQPX3Uu7kTLqitWorhfZGsCjXoAUu3 -p x

This works.

[operationz]

Can a helpful person who has gotten the Maxcoin wallet working on a mac help me figure out how to get it working on mine by any chance?  

Mine says "no block source available" and I do not know why it is saying this.  

[Snotty]

./minerd  -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mazcGQPX3Uu7kTLqitWorhfZGsCjXoAUu3 -p x

This works.

Yeah, but does that pool paid out someone?

[lqaz]

Centos 6.5

./maxcoind: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./maxcoind)

How to fix?

Works for me as well but I'd like to see some stats or payout

[varagtp]

Still dont know my adress

Btw, just to be clear. is there no reason to mine solo?

I thought you could mine coins solo when they where this new..

You need to download and install a wallet on your computer to get an address: https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients

You can solo mine, but it may take days till you get a block. Probably weeks. Without a working pool it's no use really.

[Ayas]

Can somebody tell me where i can find my maxcoin wallet adress?

Im using W32 wallet but i cant find it. Im mining now in the wallet and i want to stop and start cloud mining.

Need my adress!!!


Thanks guys!!

Same here, why there is no info about this?

I want to know this too

Your Maxcoin wallet can have multiple addresses for receiving the coins. You can generate an address as follows:
Launch the Dos prompt
Change Directory to the folder where you have your maxcoind.exe file. Use the 'cd' command for that.
Run this command: maxcoind getnewaddress
It will generate a new address in your wallet
You can use it for receiving maxcoins in your wallet

Hope this helps.

Looks like this pool is either poorly done or a scam. It's working sometimes but nobody is paid.

wtf?!

and my balance after 4h is stil 0. I have  130 khash/s

[Snotty]

./minerd  -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mazcGQPX3Uu7kTLqitWorhfZGsCjXoAUu3 -p x

This works.

is this command before or after this one...?

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

It's the same command...

[Al-Khwarizmi]

Any chance of a link to a minerd for Windows? My version of minerd from other coins doesn't understand keccak.
