When putting the conf file into the Maxcoin folder - is it really essential to give it read-only permissions ?
I've done everything I'm told to do and it just asks to set the password when I run maxcoind.
Make sure the file extension .txt is not at the end of the file name maxcoin.conf
You have to allow known file extensions to be seen to change it via explorer or do it via the cmd line.
Ah, I had to use wordpad instead of notepad, cut off the ".conf" and save it again so it's now listed as a CONF file
It's a convoluted way of doing things compared to the linux way, not intuitive at all.
