There are SHA-3 GPU miners out there.

Is there a way to mine this with gpu now or only cpu?

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.

Ye I did read that, but with the talk earlier of a gpu miner and the pool being scrypt for cgminer I thought maybe they has decided to go gpu.

Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something and I was ready for the release tomorrow same as everyone else.

If Minerd works with Maxcoin I would be soooo happy!

Exactly, Minerd!

Can anyone predict how this will be minable from a linux DigitalOcean droplet?

Can I download anthing useful in advance?

Yes, it will be cloud minable.

You can find out how to set up your droplet here in a similar guide of mine: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/particle-cpu-cloud-mining-vps-600-khashs-on-8-cpus-prt-393173

I'll post specific details on how to cloud mine MaxCoin (SHA-3) right after launch -- stay tuned.

Thanks , that would be awesome ..just checking if cpuminer can be used or not

MaxCoin Pool

https://max.poolers.org

-Stratum
-VARDIFF
-SSL Encrypted web traffic
-DDoS Protection
-1% Fees

Anyone who pre-registers before the launch will lock in 0% fees for life!

Come get your miners ready.
https://max.poolers.org


Um, how do you have a pool for a coin that has no stratum miner?  WTF?

Well, it has been explained but I will save you the trouble of reading the last couple pages.  I flubbed and set it up thinking it was scrypt compatible. Then talked to rackaz in IRC and was told it is going to be. Then I watched people debate about whether it should or should not be. Now, I am just waiting to see what happens.

TBH I dont really know whats going on, from what it sounds like there is a chance my pool may work with this coin and a chance it may not.  Wait for more info from the devs.

Exactly, we need better communication from the devs.

Is this coin cpu or is it gpu now?

Same question here.
Is there already a miner for gpu or not?

No more Rekt and Bust
It would be neat to see a 'get coins' tab on the client upon launch[such as the img of DTC client below]... that would enable a much fairer start. DTC is also CPU.

Nice a pool already !

Signed up Smiley Lets make this pool awesome!

Just make sure to update the Getting Started section before release if possible Cheesy

I am told by rackaz this will be scrypt available which is what my pool is setup for so the getting started section is correct.  If someone knows of a fork of stratum-mining that supports keccak I will setup both options.
