101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PCI-E splitters on: January 13, 2018, 04:15:26 PM
I'm interested in hearing how you put 4 PCI-E cards on a board with only 2 PCI-E slots without using splitters.
just actually looked at the rig, its already using a 2 way splitter in the pci-e x1 slot, my bad kind of a mute question since its already using a splitter and it hasnt had any problems, need to stop smoking i just glanced at the top of the box without checking it and assumed the pci slots where pci-e, it has 3x pci slots that i cant use for anything though Sad

There are plenty to mine which can make a profit, i avoid nicehash and minergate for cpu mining, yes they normally make you a small profit but a little research can earn you 5x as much, take a look at yenten, xmg once the network weight is sorted, maybe zcoin might still be profitable, other like aeon, verium are cpu only but will earn you less in the short term, but good investment in the long run. so just depends what your looking for, instant profit or long term investment.

Hi guys, my first rig is due a bit of an upgrade now, just the problem is it's not broken and runs as good as the day i got her around 4-5 years ago. Its an older asrock h77 board with only 2 pci-e, and 2 pci  slots for cards, im not interested in selling it due to its age and that its ran 24/7 pretty much since i got her, basically sentimental reasons and im a cheap skate and its ran with less problems then boards 4 times its price. It was my first budget rig and the only upgrade it got was a year or so ago when i put 4x 1050ti's into it, due to the coin it was mining increasing around 10x its value i can afford to drop a few 1080ti's into it instead, just i wanted to have more than 4 running, are the pci-e splitters any good? Is it possible to turn my old board into a hashing beast again, or should i just face facts retire her and mount her on my fireplace?

miso and bunny pool were shutdown Cry
What did they shutdown for? realised the site went down last night just before auto payment so im still owed ytn from them, will they opening back up? or they just gone with everyones money?
Miso is under DDOS attack you can login sometimes just refresh the page every few minutes to see if it's online. I logged in about 30 minutes ago requested a manual withdraw which i just received Cheesy
bah, i dont have the patience to keep trying to log in, i'll give them a few days and hope the attack stops, my autopayment was set quite low anyway so im only owed around 10

I want to just warn you about very arogant behaviour on YTN pool - https://crypto.n-engine.com -> They stopped my payments without warning, so I asked in the chat what is going on and after that few days stupid and hate comments came to me, lies they will pay me blabla = nothing. No apologies, only arogant shots. And since then they start to ban me or deleting my comments. 3 days without payment. So be aware where you want to mine YTN... This is just my opinion and my personal expierence. Also the pool have often connection problems, few times a day it is down. And their web page for viewing statistics eats about 50% of my CPU power, so when I wanted to check how is mining going, my Macbook went extremelly hot in a moment. Other pools don't have this issue.
thats a problem with your mac, uses less than 1% on an i5 3570k, macbooks are known for overheating for no reason at all, and crypto n-engine are paying out fine, mined a few different currencies with them and not once have they stopped a payment or refused to pay, do you have any actual evidence, screenshots, copies of e-mails? just saying they done this without any proof or evidence is kinda week, and why would they send you hate comments, then say they are going to pay you?, doesnt make sense.

I have 3,438,020 coins for the last 10 days and have yet to receive one staking award.  The arrow is green, it says staking, but it says the reward time is like 60 days.  WTF am i doing wrong?
not enough coins

Hello folks,

I'm new here. Wondering if any one can give me advice.

I have more than 15k of XVS coins that I purchased back in August. Haven't been tracking that coin in a while and thought it somehow rebranded to VSX until I read a post saying they should be swapped. Am I out of luck? Thousands of dollars of that coin gone in the drain?

I think you out of luck should alway check up on your investments coin swap happened weeks ago

Back when I invested, I didn't know "how" to check up on these investments. All this is self-taught. Lesson learned.

So how do I check, was there news on the website? Where do you guys get your daily news from if a coin needs to be swapped.
check on the forum for the coin, not really any site that lists all exchanges happening, i made the same mistake and lost around 10k, mining is pretty easy at the minute though so can make them back easy

Be patient, everyone. Magi is a great coin with a great team and community so the problems will be fixed as soon as they can be.

My m-wallet does no longer sync! It is stuck at block number 1606987 generated 5 hours again?

Is it a problem with the network? Is this the HF announced before on this board?

Best
yeah seems there was a problem when reaching the hardfork, fix will be soon, my wallet is stuck on the same block

We'll publish an updated version in minutes.
will the mining also be back up or is this just for a wallet fix?
111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [XMG] MAGI | CPU mining | mPoW | mPoS | [MagiPay] on: January 06, 2018, 09:11:46 AM
Little update: Magi passed Hardfork blocknumber succesful. But there is still work in progress. Magi will keep you informed here!
So will we still keep getting a lot of orphaned blocks? checked my pool this morning and it's hitting blocks often just 50% of them are being orphaned even after hardfork, will the orphan rate of blocks slow down soon or is more work needed?
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [XMG] MAGI | CPU mining | mPoW | mPoS | [MagiPay] on: January 04, 2018, 02:54:30 PM
People asked for windows 32 => https://ufile.io/s84u2

Sorry to ask stupid questions but I am changeing my wallet onto a new computer which is 32 bit but I can’t seem to find the folder where I put the folder with the blockchain into. Also can I restore the old wallet through the backup on the new wallet or do i have to send my coins to the new wallet address from my old wallet. cheers
make sure you have hidden files visible, it will be in c:users/(admin account)/appdata/roaming/magi, thats on 64bit though i imagine its the same place for both
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [XMG] MAGI | CPU mining | mPoW | mPoS | [MagiPay] on: January 04, 2018, 11:02:40 AM
Blocks will be orphaned anyway untill fork is complete.

Running pools will show with amount of miners and hashrate of the pool.

You're right sir, thats why I set miners off on all PCs Smiley
P.S. For some guy was asking earlier: Ryzen 1700X ~ 5820K (I have both), 120-140 khash/s with e=60...70 (allows CPU to do everything else you need except gaming or rendering while staying warm, not even hot)
just out of interest have you tried overclocking and running it at 100% to see what the max hashrate is?

hello, I've been reading in some internet forum and I managed to observe that a PI3 has a hash rate of 11 kh / s, who can confirm this ?, greetings ....

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@dury10/cpu-mining-use-your-cpu-to-make-money-online-with-an-eco-friendly-algorithm

Thy this, this guy has several running.


Yes, I'm running a few PI3 with pi64 OS. Getting 11.35 kh /s .. temp is at ~60 , I have fans installed.

thanks friend pierre, you are a sun
and experiment with overclock settings if you have the cooling, you can get an extra 2-3kh's with a little overclock and config, most important is power supply that id noticed, all mine were running at different speeds and i couldnt figure out why, wasnt until i bought a set of cables with a decent powered usb hub that i found out most of the older charger wires that i was using couldnt supply enough current for the pi3 to run properly

Pardon me for being a total noob and ignorant but I would like some more info or user's docs for the software. Being a noob it is quite complcated to me. Tnx in advance. If there is a better place to find this stuff out or ask questions please let me know. :-)

I'd have to agree.   I feel like I'm a fairly quick study (been a sysadmin for 18 years) but all of the documentation that I've been able to find makes the assumption that you already have a basic understanding of things.

I can't even find info on how I'm supposed to turn these coins in to actual money in my bank account.  
i second that motion

A magi guide for dummy miners  Tongue
it's really the same system as almost every other digital currency except it has staking, please just read a bitcoin for dummies, or the bitcoin for 5 year olds webpage. I'm amazed people are mining this currency and then questioning how to turn it into cash, you should really get a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies, exchanges (this is where you swap to btc or ltc), and mining before you start. If you want a profit actually check its possible with your hashrates, electricity usage, and electricity price, or if your just doing it for fun or to support the coin make sure you have chosen the right one for you. And im not sure what other information you would need for the coin other than what is posted on the website http://www.m-core.org/resources/, most of the mining software is coded by the community and doesnt come with any other documentation than what is on the github for the download or forum post they release it on. You's really need to learn what cryptocurrency is, and how mining and exchanges work, then you wont need any specific documentation on the coin, you will understand their resource page and whether its a coin you want to support/trade/mine.

I would research the device more, i couldnt find to much information on it, but from what ive read the m7m algo goes off the cache in the processor and mining actually uses very little memory hence why its possible on pi's, i doubt its impossible to get one to mine xmg but you would probably have to write your own miner or heavily modify one of the current ones to run on the xtensia 32bit processor and would expect 0.5h's, and it depends which version the esp32 uses, when looking on the xtensia chip each one is customised to the manufacturers specifications. It's all open source so you can see all the code at https://github.com/magi-project/magi. I think the xtensia chip could actually be quite use full to mine xmg and aeon when looking on the custom order section for the chips, but for someone who is prepared to custom order 100+ chips and build their own usb or asic type miner.

ESP's are very well known by the makers community. There are used for a lot of DIY projects about home-automation, IoT,... They are very cheap and available. Espressif provide a C SDK, and it is supported by many frameworks like Arduino and MicroPython.

I know this project would need a lot of work to port/implement M7M on the device, but I find it interesting (even if it would not be very powerful).
I'll have a look at the code, but I would be interested in any documentation that would help anyone to implement the algo, so that I can see if I have the time/knowledge to try to do it by myself Wink



ESP32s are still too expensive to be profitable, not when you would need 22 of them to come close to what a single 35.00 Pi3 can do (11-12 kH/s)

Can you help me little bit?

Which miner gives 11Kh/s in pi3?
my pi3 is 1.2 Kh/s right now Sad


I think its not (11-12 kH/s) but it needs to be (1.1-1.2 kH/s)

Uh, no, you would be wrong. Several of us are using custom 64-bit OSs on our RPi3 with a custom compiled miner. We all get 11-12 kH/s, but the Pi does require a small amount of cooling to maintain those speeds. Personally, I put mine in an unheated garage since it is winter here now.
yeah same for me, it still seems quite temperamental on the pi sometimes, i have 3 setup, when they were all 32bit running wolf miner v1 2 ran at 2kh's, but the 3rd one ran at 6kh's, with all the exact same settings, i just copied the sd card once setup and miner installed. When i switched them to 64bit and wolf miner v2, 2 of the pi's sit around 9-11kh's but the 3rd one is 15-20kh's, all standard clocks and same cooling.

Hello everyone!

I was syncing my wallet when suddenly my computer crashed and I had to force restart. Now when I try to open the wallet I get a message saying 'error loading block database'. I think it got corrupted or something.  Undecided

Is there anyway to recover the block database? I was at 80%, it took days to reach there.

Thanks.
are you using the new wallet released yesterday?

Hi,

Yesterday, I read this article : http://everythingesp.com/bitcoin-mining-with-esp8266/. It's about a guy who created a Proof of Concept of a bitcoin miner on an ESP8266 µC. As the ESP8266 is not powerful compared to normal CPU, the hashrate is very low, and this project should be totally useless.

But I was wondering : as Magi targets more energy efficiency, and is already running of SBC (RaspberryPi,...), would it be possible/useful to mine XMG on ESP8266 (single core, 80Mhz, 96KB RAM) or ESP32 (dualcore 240Mhz, 520KB RAM)? These CPU embed Wifi and consome far less energy than SBCs and desktop compuers.
What are the ressources requirements for the M7M hash algorithm? I think RAM would be the bottleneck.
Could you point me to some docs about the algo?

Thanks

It's very sad to hear this! I have been with paswallet since December. Which was a good project. I hope everything is going to be fine!
Yeah it really doesnt look good for them, not sure if they are covering the loss or not but my balances where the same after the hack, i think they might struggle to come back from this
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: POSWallet Hacked on: August 17, 2017, 08:02:49 AM
Just in case any of you guys still had coins on poswallet, but they were hacked in the last 12 hours and lost 9.3btc of coins, they are advising people to withdraw their coins from the site, i'd get any coins you have off there as soon as you can.

Thank you for this helpful information, since this is not an official announcement i think for credibility purpose; you need to post a link where the authority website had made the announcement.

Hi, sorry yeah its just on the frontpage of their site https://poswallet.com/index.php, i only logon once a week to 2 weeks to poswallet so could miss it quite easily.
