      :-\

      5 minutes until launch and bitcointalk spits 502’s for the next 30 minutes … so, they are delaying the launch until???

          If someone can forge the cgminer for MaxCoin by today, you’ll profit greatly :)

              So what’s the deal with MaxCoin, if anyone wants to summarise for me. (Also save me the time so I can be lazy. I’ve got dinner to cook)

                    There is alot oc chat about using an asure rig with 2 x 8core cpus to mine for free for a week or whatever. (Free Trail)
                    May be worth a look.

                    Also there have been some threads on reddit about a cudaminer instance already in existance but no real info yet.

                        @MaxcoinProject “Hey, here’s a CPU miner for you … uncompiled. Have fun! Release in an hour and a half!”

                        wtf! lulz

                        That’s not what they said, but that’s pretty much what’s going on.

                            Check the debug.log file in same folder as maxcoin.conf. You should see something like …

                            2014-02-06 21:58:13 hashmeter 241 khash/s

                            If so, you’re mining. You can also check your CPU usage, if it’s tapped out … you’re mining!

                            It’s also useful to open another command prompt window to view your info with …

                            maxcoind getinfo
                            maxcoind getmininginfo
                            maxcoind getbalance
                            maxcoind setgenerate true 6

                              FWIW, I’ve seen a one man scammer team have a better launched coin than MaxCoin. That was fucking horrible. I’d be surprised if this coin last long due to this launch.

                                Here’s a guide I made for mining MaxCoin …

                                [list type=decimal]
                                [*]Create a folder called C:\Maxcoin
                                [*]Download [url=https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients/blob/master/Maxcoin-win32/maxcoind.exe]this file[/url] into C:\Maxcoin
                                [*]Run maxcoind.exe for a few seconds (type â€Å"maxcoind”).
                                [*]Close the command prompt window and shut it down.
                                [*]Go to the proper folder listed [url=https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11190/where-is-the-config-file-of-bitcoin-qt-kept?answertab=votes#tab-top]here[/url].
                                [*]Create a text file called maxcoin.conf in the folder in Step 5.
                                [*] Paste the contents [url=http://pastie.org/8706318]here[/url] into maxcoin.conf and save.
                                [*]Open a command prompt window and change directories to C:\Maxcoin.
                                [*]Type … [b]maxcoind --daemon[/b]
                                [/list]

                                You are now mining Maxcoin! You will just see a black window.

                                To verify you are mining open another command prompt window, change to the Maxcoin directory and type … [b]maxcoind getmininginfo[/b].

                                You should see [b]â€Å"hashespersec” : xxxxxxxx[/b], as long as there is a # where I have x’s you are mining.

                                Other commands …

                                maxcoind getinfo
                                maxcoind getbalance
                                maxcoind setgenerate true # (where # = # of CPU threads you want to use).

                                  [quote]Q: So is it CPU only? Will I be able to use my Butterfly Labs ASIC when it arrives (… any day now…)?
                                  A: Using Keccak as a hashing function renders current Bitcoin ASICs and the upcoming Scrypt ASICs useless on the coin. GPU parallelization of Keccak is possible but currently does not exist for mining with our implementation of SHA-3. [/quote]

                                      If this is true http://www.reddit.com/r/maxcoinproject/comments/1x7l7x/epic_fail/ then def. this gpu miners are real.
                                      There is some work here https://github.com/smolen/cgminer so maybe isn’t that hard to implement keccak for gpu…
