Great news!

For me, no gains above -I8 with 3.7.3 on 280x, so sticking with that
.. and PC is quite responsive (unlike with -I13&scrypt)

maxcoin will be add it tonight in coinmarketcap CoinMarketCap ‏@CoinMKTCap  45m
@maxcoinproject Thanks for the link, will add it tonight. get ready and thanks coinmarketcap!

I'm new to mining SHA-3, but I've found with the new (3.7.3 build) Cgminer that any of the upper intensity settings (18-20) result in scrypt-like hashrates (3 orders of magnitude low).  I've been sticking with 14 and under, and don't find anything over 11 or so usually to yield any significant gains.  I definitely find I can overclock my cards much higher at the lower intensities than I used to be able to with Scrypt at the higher ones (18-20).  YMMV

So, I just downloaded the qt wallet from max coin and the damn thing keeps crashing. The cmd one keeps crashing as well. unluckily I don't have a back up of the older cmd wallet. Can someone help me with this?

Wow! Thnx! =)

Try to change --intensity 13,13,19

Can't get normal speed on one farm with miner from http://max.1gh.com/.
There is 3 gpu there: 290x + 290x + 270x

Here is bat:
and it showing speed like scrypt (2 Mh). Other 3 farms (with 7970 and 7990) showing normal keccak speeds (~900+ Mh).

Any ideas, bug or feature?

Wait, what?  Please list settings to get 290 to 600Mh/s.  Best I'm able to do is about 450. 

Also, 100+ GH/s is very achievable for mining farms.  There was a single user on Middlecoin for a few weeks that had over 2 *Giga*hashes/s for Scrypt.  That's like 1 Terahash for SHA-3.  The owner of Middlecoin claimed that he knew that particular miner and that it was not a botnet.  Many speculate that he was using pre-production prototype ASIC miners.  No one really knows for sure, but it's certainly possible even with GPUs.

Maxcoinpool and Rocketpool were both "official" pools that were sharing their fork of the stratum code, which were constantly getting DDoSed.

1GH and YPOOL were the non-official pools that had their own custom implementation of stratum (non-GPL, non python I believe), which was probably the only reason the coin survived the first 2 days after launch.

Is the max.suprnova.cc pool down?  I can't get to it. 

What pools?

with R290 doing something like 600MHZ

they would only need 60 rigs with 4 cards each...

that's not something one could do in ones house but definitely could be done by a small company with a warehouse and access to cooling, cheap electricity and a spare $150,000 - $200,000

or as others have stated.. hackers with access to a botnet.. probably the same ones who are ddossing.. DDOS your competitors and mine at the same time... CHACHING.

there is also the possibility that a Sha-3 FPGAs have already been created in anticipation that new coins would use it. this isn't as far from reality as you might think considering that Sha-3 has been implemented in some coins for quite some time now.

Hi Everyone

Just a bump for the HashFaster pool, come join us, we are one of the larger pools, solving blocks every few minutes or less!!

https://max.hashfaster.com  1% fee, Prop payouts, DDoS protection, excellent and crypto-devoted admin (me!)

HISTORY OF POOLS
Just to share a bit of information not many miners are aware of, but when this coin was first launched, the original "offical" pools were sharing the ONLY working stratum server code (so a coin made by developers, stratum forked to work for the coin, by the developers) which was not shared publicly, infact you were solicited to pay "early access fee" if asked for it (~2BTC). 

Taking the issue into the hands of the community, HashFaster put up a 1.1337 BTC bounty to have a public developer develop and release stratum so other non-"official" pools could open (remember, most of the pools were actually exclusively ran by the coin developers).

The bounty was granted on Saturday morning, the github fork of maxcoin stratum was released on our behalf, and we, and other good pools opened immediately, supporting a fair-mining pool scene.

HashFaster has a proven track record in running reliable, fair pools, all of our pools are listed @ http://hashfaster.com

I hope I never have to go through with that again, and I hope any future "new algo" coins that are released are released with working Stratum code for pool operators to use to support said coin.

Thanks!!

Hey guys, anyone know how to keep the windows wallet alive? It keeps dying on me.

Yes, exactly.

So your rig runs at 2.3 GH/s for maxcoin ?

If anyone is looking for additional MaxCoin hashpower, my CAVEMINER03 professional mining rig is now available for rent - Keccak SHA-3 @ 2300 Mh/s for only 0.00005870 BTC/MH/day!

Happy mining!

Ah thanks, I got it. So there's just this option or to buy like 100x r9 290x GPUs to get such hashrate right? Nothing else?
