Yes. Half an hour before the release of the coin itself. So 7PM GMT.

EDIT: That's what OP said and I understood.

Testing your builds

enable this disabled line in maxcoin.cpp (be sure to take it out again before actual mining)


run cudaminer with the --debug (-D) option and watch if you get this:


if you get the dreaded "does not validate on CPU" errors then your launch config or even your
build is having a problem.

This should help you figuring out if your 450 MHash/s are real or not.

EDIT: kHash/s -> MHash/s

christian did you see this over on reddit for maxcoin;

What do you mean by "Starting Algorithm"?

This is an issue of hardware miner resistance, such as ASICs. Keccak is the starting algorithm for MaxCoin and at this point in time no hardware miner currently exists. However, creating a Keccak ASIC is not impossible. Therefore, in order to protect against a hardware-miner future we are going to implement an "ASIC protection" feature into MaxCoin. This will work by allowing the blockchain to decide a new hashing algorithm for MaxCoin every x blocks. More specifically, the last authenticated transaction's hash is used to determine an integer and depending on this value an algorithm will be selected. This will mean hardware miners will find it difficult to create hardware in enough time to see profitable return. Purely for example, these could be:

x Algorithm 0 Keccak 1 Blake 2 Grostlx2 3 JH 4 Skein 5 Blake2 6 JH(Grostl) 7 Keccak+Blake

read the README, specifically the TODO section

How about moving that from the TODO to the Changelog 

hmm, I don't get the line at all...

i ran the same on mine and i got it validated every time

so your ~110 MHash are real and the 450 MHash are not?

Here's one thing that bugs me. If my 660Ti can get close to 100 MHash, why can't your 780Ti exceed 200 MHash/s?

EDIT: kHash -> MHash

i only get the 127Mhash/s and they all validate
i havent been able to push it higher. and just as a point, i get x** to 2 5which was giving me stupid number, that doesnt show anything on validation atall it just goes to the next one

just nvidia
