WHAT!?!?

Where's the mining software?
Where are pool addresses?
You can't be serious to release everything at exactly 7:30 together with the coin.
We (I) need preparation time for a fair start. You can't simply deploy a miner to 3000 PCs within a few minutes.

there is a pool available for pre-registration already, see: https://max.poolers.org  Huh

I used this pool for CON in the past and it's good.

WRONG!!!

This pooler is not going to work. They pre-prepared the server counting that the maxcoind is ready to use with MPOS PHP.

"./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.poolers.org:3345 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password " WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

there is not a cgminer or cpu miner or what ever ready for this coin...so far! so forget about it!!  Grin


the --scrypt key in the get started section of the pool is just a mistake perhaps.  I guess they'll be using a modified version of the CopperLark cgminer, which can be found here:  https://github.com/smolen/cgminer or https://github.com/Eropi4/cgminer_keccak.   So the key will be --keccak  

If CopperLark miner won't work by default the the ripper's opencl keccak implementation may be another option (should be easy to only adjust the cl file there).

Let's wait for the launch and see.
