Yet again I installed the new wallet.  I deleted all prior data in the magi folder.

I opened it, it regenerated the database.

I tried restoring old back ups in order.  When I get to the backup that reflects the transaction that was sent to Bittrex on a bad chain then got lost on it's return trip to me because the transfer was on a bad blockchain the money still shows as "In my wallet, but unconfirmed"

HOW do I get my cash paid for XMG back out of unconfirmed?  The wallet recognizes it is real and valid but because it was "tainted" by this other blockchain it won't update and let the cash return out of "reserved for transfer" mode basically, because it can't get confirmations due to the transaction being on a bad blockchain the funds are just stuck in unconfirmed.  WHY?

Why can't my funds release back properly after complete reinstall of new wallet and database wipe for the new blockchain??!?!

I keep asking this question AND GET NO REPLY.  This is becoming VERY discouraging.  If this coin's developer can't answer a simple question like "How do I fix this bug, because this is clearly a BUG....then what hope is there for the future of this coin?

Seriously guys why can't anyone give me a straight answer about how to unlock the 177 XMG that is stuck in unconfirmed status?  Shouldn't there be a coin repair algo AS WELL as a wallet repair algo?  Where it checks if the transaction was done on valid blockchains and if it was not, unlocks the XMG???

I am getting tired of asking this question with NO STRAIGHT ANSWERS.  SOMEONE please give me a way to solve this problem.

Although these are recognized as within the bittrex wallet, the funds are stuck unconfirmed.  Maybe it will fix itself when it comes out of the maintenance mode.  I have over 60 coins not confirmed on bittrex, I think the others were from bad blockchain mining but these 26 XMG here should show up as valid once they "repair wallet" on their own wallets....

Can someone please help me?  I asked a couple times, I have tried the solutions offered but still no luck.

I purchased around 150 XMG with BTC on bittrex.  I sent it from bittrex to my wallet. 

When I was ready to send it back to Bittrex the fork happened the same day.

My funds disappeared for a while until the blockchain stabalized.  I had repaired my wallet several times and the balance always stayed unconfirmed.

The transaction routing it to Bittrex was in the history list....but it bounced back due to the fork.  It is not recognized as a valid transaction on this blockchain and was never sent to the platform.

The funds sit unconfirmed in my wallet and as of yet I have had no luck getting the badly bounced coins to respawn as confirmed coins again.

I purchased these coins with BTC, I did not mine them.  I am very concerned that I have yet to be able to free up those coins, it hurts my trust a lot that I can invest BTC into the coin and it can go missing. 

Technically the coins are not missing, as they do not get purged like the bad coins from mining on the wrong fork did disappear.

I have many backups of my wallet over time in each of the states it was in before each movement of funds, separate dat files just in case the entire history needs to be reviewed.  I am hoping the coins can safely be returned to my wallet so I can put them back into trade in the exchange.

Thanks!

Enoch

I like your temporary solution to the global hash.  Thank you!!!

HEY -- Does anyone have what is required to do a NOMP correctly?  I do not know how to get it to do the hashing because it doesn't seem to recognize the M7m Algo.>...

Pool owners of NOMP pools can someone help me install my own pool?  I am completely confused now because I can't get P2pool to work due to some kind of p2p port lock up in the running of the P2Pool and the NOMP don't seem to have the config settings needed.

how did you guys get XMG working on NOMP or otherwise?  Trying to get a ready-made server for linux or windows set up that I can just install, I am lost up to my chin in json and config file confusion.  Please help?  Thanks!

Enoch

This is a valid point that I have suggested fixes for a couple times now.

Please answer this dev or assistants:

WHY DOES THE GLOBAL HASHING RATE CONTROL THE INDIVIDUAL POOL REWARDS?!

This is a HUGE vulnerability for hackers/powerminers/speed demons to abuse the network to prevent everyone from getting fair rewards.

The math should be calculated at the POOL LEVEL so that only individual POOLS lose their block reward down to minimum so the people who are mining this coin correctly as it is originally intended to be mined, can do so without having to lose their block rewards NETWORK WIDE because of private pool mining and private solo mining in pools.

This is big enough of an issue, I will refer to it as a bug from now on.  It's a buggy feature that the entire global speed controls what the individual pools get.

If a pool is mining correctly at low total hash, then it should be getting normal rewards....while the pool mining with high hash, should be dropped in reward to 0.1 so there is no way that the abusers and hackers and excess hash miners out here who are clueless about how to work as a team and only out for themselves have NO INFLUENCE on the pools that are mining correctly.

Did you guys notice that Bittrex changed the MAGI COIN icon to a bitcoin icon default image?

Enoch

I am not so sure you actually understand the point of this coin.  What you are speaking of is abuse of guidelines, which are to keep the rewards for people with normal CPUs gaining reasonable amount of coin.  

Big client?  What the @!#^ are you talking about?  You call them a client but they are actually abusive user.

You sound like you are defending them.  Why?  This doesn't seem white hat/ethical to me.

E

FYI - I generate around 100 kh using a couple laptops and a single desktop with a 6 core.  It's reasonable and fair.  If I end up mining on a pool with abusive users however, I do not get a fair cut.  Mining on a single pool with 2 users and their miners is far more profitable than pool mining with many or a few abusive users.  Then you get a good speed and somewhere between 1-15 XMG a day even if you are only giving 1/4 of the hash.

It really would be nice if a non- CMake based makefile could be used or a windows installer be made for the coin algo/for the pools of some of the other cryptonote altcoins or easier for the NOMP magi pools to be installed on windows, I don't currently run a linux install and installing on windows a simple NOMP pool seems overly complex to me....  If these examples above were just SLIGHTLY more user friendly i think this coin's spirit would be spread far faster, as well as some of the other decent CPU and CPU/GPU coins.

Does anyone have a windows compiled exe for the NOMP pool?  I would appreciate a PM from you on where I could get a copy without having to install linux/cmake etc

Just some thoughts.

Hello again forum,

I wanted to ask, does anyone have any way for me to get my BTC paid for coins that i sent to Bittrex when this all broke down?

They are in my wallet and real coins but they are stuck in unconfirmed state.  I had over 155 XMG sent.  I have the transaction code but it does not appear on the "official" blockchain.  How do I restore the function and submit the coins to be confirmed?  They never actually arrived at Bittrex.  They funds bounced and returned to my wallet but because it happened during a weird time, they are stuck in limbo.   I understand that the ones I mined just before things started to get repaired recently on a NOMP chain lost around 50 but since then earned around the same on the right chain, i see why they would have been stuck in unconfirmed limbo in my wallet.

I have a full track record of all the transactions involved in creating this balance via BTC trade on Bittrex then sending transfer and even the unconfirmed transaction of it being sent. 

How do I fix this   It is the only remaining error on the wallet I am having issues with now that it is synced to the dev node.  I have tried repair wallet etc it is fully repaired.

>>> I still say the problem would be addressed if there was a minimum block reward threshold of zero, that is triggered by input of minimum block reward due to hashrate.  I.e. if block reward of a pool falls below 10 XMG, for example, then block reward drops to zero until hash returns to reasonable levels, meanwhile any hackers doing a DDOS attempt on the pool should be IP logged and arrested if within a country that has laws against DDOS in a harmful manner to a server not owned by the hacker. 

Another good idea:

Can we not change the rewards algo so that there is a zero block reward possible?

This would chase away the high hashraters and botnets becuase if it exceeds that which would drop the coin below 2 XMG block reward then the block reward drops ALL THE WAY to zero reward until the pool and/or global hash rates drop.

What i am saying is this limiter should be applied by the Dev as a whole to the global network so the speed is limited to below a certain max global threshold so no one pool can do these attacks....as well as a Pool by Pool input so the owner of the pool can put in a minimum reward threshold and a max speed cap per account and max connections per IP limiter and list the rules on the home page.

There should also be a global limiter so that it drops to zero reward if the network is being 5o+1 attacked or other DDoS mining techniques of unethical miners, except for pools that are under another threshold you could call "global limiter exception speed" which is a max has rate of a small pool so they do not shut down if the large pools are getting DDOs'd that way the coin can keep the blockchain moving even if the pools are being attacked in other situations, the small pools with lower net hash rate won't get set to zero reward but any pool exceeding the global limit speed per pool will be set to zero under X threshold input for the dev to have control over this and agreements about pool reward voted on once the new systems tested out and debugged.

Please allow a new shift to this zero block reward paradigm once block rewards drop below say...5 XMG-10XMG.

I would prefer it personally with my vote that the rewards, if being violated past 15 XMG block reward than mining gets paused till pool hashrate is back under the proper speeds.

If everyone is willing to be paused when attacks are happening, then we can filter out the asshats who are refusing to follow the polite rules of this coin.  They are not changing by being asked nicely.  The only way, as the other guy who i called disrespectful did say, is to heal the vulnerabilities.

Perhaps we allow the pools to choose their own limit threshold?  I advice 15 because it will keep everyone lowering their hash to comply to the limits.  However this would lead to a lower max speed allowed if it were to keep the rewards higher.

There is a Tao of Magi that must be followed to understand this coin.

It is VERY Dao.  If one sees that less is more and more is less, then one can understand this.  Those that do not understand this should be punished by the pool blocking all connections or pausing hash movement until the attacking hash has stopped blasting the pool, or alternatively, my suggestion of setting up a lower minimum XMG of ZERO so that if pool hashrate = > than threshold limiter, reward sets to zero xmg until hash rate drops below the max level that allows the minimum block reward input.

If they attack the pool to keep it shut down this is illegal.  This is considered black hat hacking and can be prosecuted by law.

I believe a zero XMG block reward drop if hash rates of the combined pool are below 15 XMG would be the best approach...  

That would keep the take very nice for everyone, including the idiot botnetters who are being abusive of the kindness of the non-enforced limitation, if they stick to the advised speed limits or not get any reward at all.  

You cannot be polite about this any longer due to this new phenomenon, adaptation is mandatory.

That would be awesome!

Thanks!

Enoch

WTF

You are being disrespectful.  Many of these people do not know the dev and are investing in this coin just as any other serious investment.  Don't belittle this coin, its design is very good, every CC runs into forking problems in its life span for the most part.

You sound like you are complaining that people don't like it that large miners are NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES of this coin.  I really hope you find some other direction of focus, your focus does not belong in this community. 

Just go away if you don't like it.

E

I already addressed this in a prior post with my suggestions a week or two back about a vector that used the optimum sweet spot of a hash rate of a pool so as to have the pool automatically set EVERY user's account to the perfect hash rate.  The hash that is not needed should be able to be throttled on the INPUT from the account to the pool, so each connection to the pool only accepts X hash and the rest gets ignored.  Another potential approach would be to have X hash that is optimum per user account, and once that hash is hit, their connection is frozen until the next block so each user contributes the perfect amount of hash.

This would also require a similar program to Sweet Spot having another input checkbox that says "Auto-sync optimum hashrate" and have it automatically maintain the hash rate at the perfect rate.

Can someone contact the writer of Sweet Spot software and ask them to add this checkbox in preparation of an edit like this if it is considered?

On the Dev end it could also be coded at Pool Optimum Hashrate that only allows pools to contribute X hash depending on how many are mining.  Total pools would divide Optimum Global HashRate among each other equally that way no single POOLS can upset the balance of the optimum hashrate vector either.

The reason that this would work is that it appeals to both the fairness side of things as WELL as the greedy side of things.  Both parties win because a software is released that allows the controlling of every CPU to the optimum hash rate in an automatic manner from the pool's output of the vector "Optimum Pool Hashrate" so that people have a target of hashrate to get for each of their computers {which would be the optimum hashrate divided by the amount of devices in one's mining worker group.}

What this would cause any bot net miner to do is to spread his hashrate among all the pools that are not maxxed out on the optimum pool hash rate in order to optimize the market further and keep the optimum hash more stable.  Does this not cause everyone to win?

E

Cannot at that moment, the large botnets be caught via IP capture?  And then blocked?  Perhaps an alert to Joe that there is an excessively high speed miner IP or IPs present on the network due to excessive total hashrate and go find the offending IP and ban it?  It would be work but his mods can help too.  It would simply, until a smart script is written, need to be done manually but an automatic script speed limiter could easily be put in place from joe's position on the primary node.  I would even temporarily be willing to volunteer hours of my day to this until a script can be made to replace the need for manual monitoring.  Does this idea seem applicable or too difficult?

E

Joe do you need a new laptop?  What is your current model and make?

*** Update, I have been seeing payouts roll in over the last 15 mins.  Thanks for your help!  Yey!  Let's keep it up.  Maybe we'll be able to keep them this time.  who knows.  At least it works.  Appreciated.  At least my hash can be aimed at something.  I am not currently set up to mine other coins so the cpu time just sits idle.

E

Did you happen to notice that 11/12 blocks that are mined so far are all unconfirmed but 1?  Is this just because there's not a lot of mining happening on the "correct" chain at this point so the confirms are slow?

Enoch

When I try to start the miner it says "stratum_recv_line failed"


Edit:  I changed to the low difficulty port 3333 and it worked but the medium difficulty just hung.  3000 i used last time that's why no connection.  Both are up and mining.

I see no payments sent on the new wallet that i have 1 miner on for one computer and the original main wallet i had is set to another miner/computer.  Neither have new payouts on them.  Why are my payouts not working?  Where did my hashes go?  I have the correct settings.

http://h2701744.stratoserver.net:85/workers

the new wallet:  9NNNQuJG8FCgNW58emA9r5F3vUbhG25LJ2     224      2     99.11%   48.93 KH  -- as you can see its mining.  For some reason no deposits have been routed to either this wallet or my other one on here.

It may have been paying me but my wallet has been offline/out of sync because i had not updated.  I just updated, once it catches up the blockchain perhaps some payments will make themselves known.

Enoch

Update:  No.  no payouts have been routed to my wallet and I have been mining all day on 10 threads with 2 different computers at a reasonable hash rate.  This is very upsetting.  You who runs this NOMP pool, I know you are reading.  Can you please explain why no payouts?

E

I am having issues also integrating the new blockchain file.  I am going to the prior one in the archive to see if this works.  wallet is 1.4.1.1

Was this because I do not have 1.4.2 installed?

http://coinmagi.org/bin/block-chain/blkfileindex/ is the current file.  I also tried the one in the root directory that was a Tar file and neither are working for me.

I tried installing the new wallet too with the new blockchain and it tells me db error.  I used the prior blockchain file in the archive and version 1.4.2 is trying to sync now successfully.

There seems to be something corrupted in the database the wallet doesn't like.

Enoch

On NOMP, how does one see what one's total mined blocks/hashes are?  It doesn't track the income generated?  What is the payout threshold?

I am confused about the pool @ http://h2701744.stratoserver.net:85 -- how does one know how much is pending deposits?  How does one track what is going on?  It only tracks current hash rate but says nothing about earned rewards.  Do they just route to your wallet as they are generated with no "payout" action required?

Please help this Nomp noob.  My wallet is out of sync again so I don't think I am seeing the deposits either way at the moment....

Enoch
