Maybe ill be on top in http://www.maxcoinmine.com with hash rate.

Who created that mining site?

Sorry, but did I miss something? Is there a wallet or a miner ready somewhere? How people mine already?

Seems like they will have a GPU miner available at launch.  Sucks.
In which case, why not just release it as scrypt so that the GPU farms can mine it all up?

I understand the Botnet fears, but for the first day or so it could be a true CPU only, then someone will amend cgminer no doubt.

Would be very, very helpful if you put a link in here, where it ACTUALLY says it will be mineable with GPU's.

cmon, even QRK is gpu mineable. all super secure hashing coins can be mined with a GPU. you just need a good coder.
the devs seem to have all the resources to have a gpu miner coded for this coin.
mark my words, one will be released waay after the launch date, and we will take it as great news, even though there was one made FOR THE LAUNCH.
Keiser would be a dumbass not to have one ready.  

Better for them if they already have it and don't release it on launch...
Something to think about

LOL this seems like another type of premine. The developers already have adopted their cgminer/gpu miners to mine this. They probably have 100s (if not 1000s) of systems ready to go while the rest of the masses will be stumbling along with the lousy inefficient client.

They catered to the whiney CPU miners which have no stake in alt coin hashrate. And in turn make the criminal botnets majority holders of Maxcoin.

This had to be the plan from the start. No dev is this clueless/incompetent. 

Your clueless now go away already and take your crying off to one of the other pump and dump profit making coins.  Bye bye.

If you want a coin to have mass market appeal, then being able to mine it on normal commercial hardware is important. Don't see how "botnets" are any different from GPU farms or ASICs. You can make this argument for any coin. I'm not convinced it's the massive problem people make it out to be. Unless you have some sources.

If you want to keep Maxcoin a CPU-Only coin, be sure to vote against their releasing a GPU-miner:

Yea, you and all the botnet ops are voting it down.

Yea, he and all the botnet ops. So nobody who can just CPU mining? LOL

CPU Miners please vote here: http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=52f02bf8e4b0aa0bc59f064e

I think the devs are aware of botnets and maybe have some way to fix that.

Everyone who send 0.1 btc on this adress 1AnKbVNfy433KFEsM3F8NaomZXRRiUGnDK will get in pm download link for gpu miner (only amd cards for now).
When u send 0.1 btc pm me with your tx id and forum name.

I need one for my mate as well will you do deal on 2?

im in maybe we could get 3 for 0.28.  Cheesy

I've the cgminer version and settings to mine this coin with GPU (just compiled).
Is not a joke.

Send me PM 0.5 BTC with TX ID as confirmation at 1GN8R637sygReakbdwGnhogXSVuDHfKADr.

I'll send you a password protect zip file containing settings and software.

You can have the GPU Miner, developed by the NSA.
Send 0.01 BTC to this Adress for the Source Code: 1A16d8ErpFkk71PXT6i6mRzEjYPhZ8PKMP
For 0,1 BTC you can join the NSA Mining Pool

Possible Compatible Keccak GPU miner , modified cgminer ( only for AMD GPUs)
Dare to try. Wink

there is a gpu miner or what?

From Page 1...

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.

So NO.... not yet anyway since the Keccak is a hashing function nobody has developed a GPU miner for (yet).

It is of course possible.

There is a Keccak version of cgminer, but it is not producing any shares on maxcoinmine.com for me.

the current keccak cgminer wont work because the devs have adapted the code, once the wallet is released and if they allow gpu only then can someone reconfigure the miner to mine max coin.

From what I am ready this is correct that they have changed the code so any Keccak GPU miners cannot hash it. I run smos and mainly pool mine, we have managed to configure windows to solo mine sha 3 with Keccak and pool mine it, but I suspect this will be different, probably the same shambles of a launch as ultra coin, 400,000 1st block then back to 1 2nd block, said wasent premined but there it is. Noone in their right mine managed to get that 1st block.

My advice for you is to delay launch (if you have to ) and get out a solid GPU miner , here is the rational reason why:

- You have focused on a fair lunch .

- a single Hash would have been ported to GPU as soon as you announced it.

- So to release now without GPU kind of gives the start to Robots and the Guys that made the GPU miner.

You would agree that's probably not a huge base.

At least with a miner you know its going to GPU holders , the veterans of Cryptostreet.

You have to play to your base.


: D


I agree with this completely.


devs just do what ever you have to do to make the launch smooth and fair so new miners aren't bullied out by the whales at the start. oh one more thing just wanted to let everyone know how much i love franko, just wanted to say. its on fire at the moment.  Wink

This pool seems pretty well prepared, just pending final developer information also (as noted on pool) for final mining instructions.

It's not cpu minable. Only GPU. I tried.

Ahhhhh now I understand why you think it's a scam.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter, it is still going to go pretty crazy.
