Will it worth mining Maxcoin with a cpu ? Will ASICS flood this coin until cpu unminability, total usefulness, irrefutable non-profitability ?
You shouldn't mine it, leave it for us to mine.

RealSolid has announced MaxCoin is going to be added to mcxNOW! [ref link] (just next to MinCoin for ultimate lol 
)
So get ready to trade there.
Nice fake to get people to click on your referral link for mcxBUX.) So get ready to trade there.
It is a ref, but of course it's not a fake. He announced it on the chat.

We're postponing the launch of MaxCoin by 24 hours after today's events. The new launch time will be 7.30PM GMT Thursday, 24 hours after original launch.
To keep you guys in the loop, here's our thought process for this decision.
After we prepped our ANN for [Suspicious link removed] 7.30PM GMT launch the site crashed under heavy load for around 10 minutes. The MaxCoin site crashed simultaneously for a similar time. This happened a few more times before it came to our attention that a stable launch from BitcoinTalk would not be possible.
While preparing alternative options for launch (the launch channels will now be via Reddit, Twitter and MaxCoin.co.uk) one of our prepared pool operators withdrew their support claiming they were uncertain they would be able to support the load of miners.
We are uncomfortable launching without two stable pools, not to mention doing so in the midst of confusion between a last minute launch location switch and large traffic spikes. With these three issues combined, we have made the decision to delay the launch until this infrastructure is better established and the news is able to spread about the new sites to participate in the launch from.
Our apologies to everyone that this inconveniences, we're as disappointed as you, but feel this is the correct way to proceed under the circumstances. It is our hope that by postponing and making sure this is done properly we will achieve a more stable debut than by gritting our teeth and crossing our fingers through an already chaotic launch.
To avoid similar issues, we will be distributing the software from tomorrow morning (GMT) under password protected archives so it is possible to download these throughout the day, both via official site download and torrents, assuring everybody has access to the files in time for the launch. All guides will be available in advance and mining will begin upon password announcement.
The screenshots and claims of advance mining are of course fake, one reason we must move to more stable announce channels is to ensure everybody is able to have a fair chance to mine from the commence of the network.
Thanks for your patience, and sorry once again.

I can't download the wallet either, and others are already mining. Fair launch my ass.
Learn to read, nobody is mining MaXcoin yet.I apologize I must be in some form of temporal vortex or something because what I read said. Tl;dr - SHA-3 coin. Launches 7.30PM GMT on Wednesday 5th February 2014. More info to be seeded out via @MaxCoinProject. Not a fork of dogecoin which has past. I have found the twitter now though and seen about the relaunch.

You would see they are no longer using bitcontalk.org for the release info.

You can't mine yet - this is tesing and benchmarking the algorithm only. so yes this is fair. February 06, 2014, 01:11:42 AM

They said it was maxcoin-cpuminer compiled for Windows. I laughed but then people were saying it was working so I tested it out in a VM and it looks legit. I ran it like this:
minerd.exe --algo=keccak --benchmark
and it was getting about 1100 kh/s on my Windows 7 64 bit VM with 1 virtual cpu.
I got about the same on a per core on an 3450 Xeon on Ubuntu.http://www.sendspace.com/file/hw8ccu

About 1/3rd. of the speed of sha256d.

anyone care to share the linux source for either cpuminer or wallet?
It's only been mentioned like half a dozen times in this thread today. I guess some people just don't bother to read.http://www.maxcoin.co.uk/downloads/
However people are saying the wallet is a dud file.
So wait until tomorrow like the rest of us.
Thanks but I read the thread and that page 404's for me. We (cryptothrift.com) are trying to be the first vendor to add maxcoin which is why I wanted to get the source now.

what is the better and strong pool to will mine it?
I think everyone is going to need to spread out to as many pools as possible. There will be a lot of people, probably way too many for any one pool.

liar.
Why's he a liar? I compiled from source optimized for AVX and get 900 kh/sec per core - it will never find anything, but it's still representative of what it will do against a wallet or pool.
I must be a liar too.
I read the source, it should auto-optimize for avx/avx2/xop based on running test instructions during compile.

What wallet did you test it with?
I didn't use a wallet, I just used the benchmark option.
I just uploaded the minderd.exe to virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d9e22ef66d35bc7a1bd9b03263ab2f18c2f359bcf502c3071a2bb58da677020d/analysis/1391660585/
It has a few bitcoin miner results but nothing that looks bad. Is anyone able to test it for malware or viruses some other way?
