so this will be a gpu coin at launch?.

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.

Dependencies:
   libcurl         http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
   jansson         http://www.digip.org/jansson/

i can download either gz or bz2 of each, does it matter which one i use.

Yes, seems like you can mine with GPU yes!

MaxCoin - keccak sha-3, and CopperLark coin - keccak

https://github.com/Eropi4/cgminer_keccak/releases/download/3.6.6-keccak/cgminer_366_keccak_win32.zip

CGMiner for CopperLark

CGMiner for Windows  [3.6.6]

How to connect:
Connecting to the pool via the command
cgminer --keccak -o http://pool.******.***:port -u [user] -p [pass] -w 64

How come it's not 3.7.2? That was the last GPU version released.

This one will not work, MaxCoin uses a different SHA-3 implementation.

Does anyone actually think they have a chance to get a decent amount of maxcoin? With the kimoto gravity well in place and the huge amount of attention this gets, we will see 1k diff in a matter of seconds?

with 1 highend cpu you will be lucky to get even 1 coin after a day of mining?

why do you think they released the miner source and not a fully built miner. i think maybe so the people who know how to build it can locate any errors.

It works just fine ;]

Code:
fork@instacash:~/maxcoin-cpuminer# ./minerd --help
Usage: minerd [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -a, --algo=ALGO       specify the algorithm to use
                          scrypt    scrypt(1024, 1, 1) (default)
                          sha256d   SHA-256d
                          keccak    Keccak SHA3 (MaxCoin)

i'll have a go at compiling it. it would be good if the launch of this coin taught people a few things.  Wink

at least if this was just another scrypt clone cpu botnets would not be raping it WITH gpu's lol

Two short question,

What software should I use GPU-mining?
What pools can I use?

First build of cudaMiner (GPU) by cbuchner1 is already available for MaxCoin's keccak now:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4964261

i'll have a look. thanks

It didn't say is for Maxcoin

It does, keccak (SHA-3) is the algorithm MaxCoin uses. It's an nvidia GPU miner.

Two other coins also use SHA-3. You just can't use any SHA-3 miners.  Else why not use use the GPU miner.exe from those SHA-3 coins.

NOTE: the specific Keccak implementation differs a great deal from eCoin... Those trying the eCoin GPUminers will be in for a surprise...

This is exactly why I posted the link.
It is a freshly compiled custom build for MaxCoin's implementation of SHA-3, built by the creator of cudaMiner: cbuchner1.

because they are private / don't exist lol
except for smelters miner of course.. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/preview-smelter-gpu-miner-for-whirlpoolx-vanillacoin-310975
edit:
oh and they are NOT SHA3 they are SHA3 plus other algos too
