Can anyone tell me how I can get my wallet address once I have installed maxcoin-cpuminer ? I want to join a pool but dont know what my wallet address is?

You get your wallet address in your personal MaxCoin wallet.


Where is the personal maxcoin wallet ? how to I gain access to my maxcoin wallet?

10b. Download the 1GH MaxCoin (SHA-3) minerd (+configure and compile)
Code:
git clone https://github.com/1gh/cpuminer
cd cpuminer
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
strip minerd

Test whether your compiled minerd launches fine:
Code:
./minerd --help
It'll return all its command options.

10c. Now head over to a Pool and follow the instructions posted, for example:

Code:
./minerd -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u mRQmzB5nzqw4Lx1gvEF7uREBqPv5A6jBYJ -p x
[change this with your specific pool details / wallet address!]

Can anyone tell me how I can get my wallet address once I have installed maxcoin-cpuminer ? I want to join a pool but dont know what my wallet address is?

 Help please!

Isent it possible to develope a GPU program for ourselfs to mine this sha-3 maxcoin? It can't just be the developers that can do this, come on everyone let's get together to crack this!

Shouldn't be that hard to build a GPU miner - are there any other coins out there using same algorithm (Keccak) too (so such miner can be tried in advance), or is this coin first one?

Yes there is blakecoin that is based on the new sha-3 algo, and it looks like there are GPU mining programs to mine it. In theory this can be done for maxcoin. Any thoughts ?

Considering this coin will be CPU-only at launch, are you not worried about botnets having a high % of hashing power compared to the "average" miner?

With scrypt variants this is less of an issue, with coins that have CPU mining only the reward for mining for the average Joe is very limited.

Considering SHA-3 should not be that hard to implement on GPU, are you not worried that CPU miners will be overrun by GPU miners (I guess that whoever writes the miner won't just disclose the source or even its existence) soon after start?
There is already working SHA-3 implementation as part of scrypt-jane miners, so ripping just sha-3 out of it ... wouldn't be probably very hard Wink.

That is exactly what is going to happen. The happy-go-lucky crowd will be making 42 coins a day on their expensive i7-4700k and the GPU miners with their undisclosed mining software will be making 1.2 Million coins during the same day.

Im sorry to say this but there is so much openness and fairness built into Satoshi's implementation of bitcoin technology and continued over to Scrypt, that with the exception of pre-mining and insta-mining, every coin that uses some "innovative" technology (aka giving some secret advantage to the developer) has to be looked at carefully.

Isent it possible to develope a GPU program for ourselfs to mine this sha-3 maxcoin? It can't just be the developers that can do this, come on everyone let's get together to crack this!

I'm still quite unsure on how to mine this new maxcoin on the 5th of feb, I keep readying that this coin will only be CPU mineable any thoughts on that? also im quite new to mining and wanted to know what program's we would be using to mine this maxcoin and where to find pools  Smiley

Thanks
