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.

How much RAM is recommended??? Is 512k with 512k swap enough? Or should I go 1G or 2G ?

Hey guys im new to this and would love some help. Can I use the free trial windows azure to mine maxcoins? I don't really understand how all this stuff works. Thanks in advance

is this guy come from MaxCoin dev teams? can his maxcoin-cpuminer be trusted? is this official miner from MaxCoinProject dev team or not?

wow thanks for this. I guess my cloud will have a use for now.

from what i understand, you need the upgraded rights in order to perform some of the script commands...on azure i think by default you are automatically given these rights. sudo -i elevates your rights into root
February 05, 2014, 07:56:30 PM
Why do you say to run it as root? I got it running as azureuser fine.

Are you sure running make with sudo is a good idea?
February 05, 2014, 05:56:22 PM
used "sudo passwd root" to change root password was then able to logged in as root.
February 05, 2014, 05:53:24 PM
at the prompt just type sudo -i
it will make you root.
it will make you root.
February 05, 2014, 05:50:00 PM
it seems not. Hmm anybody now how to gain root access? seems a bit tricky...

Now that the source is in the wild, do you expect GPU miners competing at launch tomorrow?
Frankly I suppose that this might very well be the case.
NOTE: the specific Keccak implementation differs a great deal from eCoin... Those trying the eCoin GPUminers will be in for a surprise...

Are you root?
worked great the second time around. Thanks for your help.
Stupid question but the pool has to be up and running before this can started ... correct?

Correct, all you have to do now is to wait until the pool is up.

Given the nature of the ALGO for this coin, please be prepared to mine via the MaxCoin wallet when released. We will work on getting the pool operational meanwhile.

Try to fix the permissions with chmod:
Code:
sudo chmod 755 maxcoin-cpuminer
cd maxcoin-cpuminer

// IF you get a 404 not found error or no response, use this alternative link with the identical file:
zip md5 = 59df705900e78c52c989ceb08dc55bb6
Make sure to check the md5 to be the same as the file on maxcoin.co.uk! I mirrored the official file on dropbox in case the official site should be ddosed, but you may check the md5 to confirm this yourself.
