whats going on with minerclaim? it went down for 13hrs than it says its finding coin but i can't mine it............ also 73% unknown hash.. wtf wtf wtf.. was doing great with nobody mining it so rewards were getting over 30coins now its back to under 2 for the reward...... people stop mining so i get bigger rewards
do anybody know owner of minerclaim? get him on discord plz plz its so much better there

The bloc transaction with more 100 XMGs is now 6 days old with 6273 confirmations... and the PoS still doesn't work.
My wallet is at the last version, the blockchain is synchronized and I have 20 connections to the MAGI network.
I don't understand where is the issue if the official minimum amount of XMG for stacking is really 100 XMGs in 1 transaction.
I suppose you have : # posii=0 to disable PoS staking; default = 0 posii=1 In your magi.conf. Please send us a picture of your staking message. This is mine :  Yes I have the good parameters in my conf file. But I have found the issue : the conf file I configured is the one in the "conf" directory of the Magi wallet installation (Linux OS), but I found it is not the conf file used by the wallet... To configure the good conf file (the good location), I used the wallet GUI (menu "Help", "Edit Magi.conf") : ctrl+c and ctrl+v of the first conf file in the second and my wallet is stacking. All is fine now, ouch ! Thank you for your reply. what is your wallet on? i just picked up a pi4 and im gonna see how difficult it is to get the magi wallet to POS.... anybody have experience with wallet on linux machines? |

I tried to get some BTC from tradesatoshi.
This is not possible, no warning and also no support.
My advice : Do not use tradesatoshi anymore.
tradesatoshi has great customer service. double check your email to confirm your withdraw and use VPN and make sure it says you're in saudi arabia or africa. only 2 places crypto currenty not banned or being restricted..... transferred all my 32 BTC to cash back in november @ 8100 USD each
they even asked me if i have any crypto currency when i got my taxes done haha
if you get your BTC traded off to XMG let me know how much. i traded my BTC for XMG once i learned how to do POS and now im working on the pi4 to turn into staking box and see how much 1,051 xmg will stake me at the end of a year. i say monthly check-ins on here to see if anything updated. All in all this coin is at a plateau for a year, it will probably stay at this wallet for a while. but i really wish we can get it to work on a pi3....=] =] =] [/size] |

 Great news on XpoolX
We are proud to announce the new XpoolX mining pool Features:No registration required - mine directly with you wallet address Online Wallet addres - if you don't have a wallet software you can store the coins in the website (coming soon) Auto-Exchange to the coin you want - You can mine any algo and be paid in any coin of the pool. See how to mine section Profit switch - You can connect your miners and it will be switching to the best profitable coins Adding coins every week - we are adding up to 10 coins every week. If you want to mine any coin just mail us! Added coins:Bitcoin - Dogecoin - Litecoin - Magicoin - DigitalCash - MyriadCoin - Verium - RavenCoin -Yenten- TuxCoin - Garlic - Riecoin - Unitus - Elicoin - MyriadCoin - Globalboost - ZCASH Like old Pool?:Continue mining on old XpoolX - We have no plans to delete the old pool so you can still mine on it! EDITED AFTER 4 DAYS OF RESEARCH!!! give a good read about time we get a new pool.....(i mean it) but i think minerclaim has the most dedicated auto miners for xmg.......(facts) no clue if swapping pool be more reward..... other pools at 2x the xpoolx current hash rate they earn 4-7 days about 11-13 xmg. split that between 10-12 and guys doing 100-133kH/s make about 5.9-7.1 xmg....... so its profitable if we get about 10 more 50k/h+) your user base is limited on this forum... too hard to find and 6-8 currently active (facts but i wish more on here to help me learn more stuff) love the mine for other currency..... so would trade my xmg in for doge and watch the gain over gain happen..... xmg was worth 3x more than dodge when i first started. think it took 17 doge = 1 xmg haha (no clue what you use to do exchange but i rather stick with xmg though) so all in all this pool can grow 40% and it will be profitable but most people who mining xmg are just starting trying to learn new things and dream.... others are profiting off the early days of mining and stacking a lot more........ im only at 1,035 xmg and i mined for 6 months.............tested out turtle coin and mined 28k-ish and than tested out doge and i am at 3,200 doge.......... so xmg helped me gain so much valuable information to start...... ** it's now just hoping they help with ideas from the community like help building stake boxes on raspberry pi with GUI be helpful... the pi 4 is out and more ram so i think it be doable but still stuck trying it ** try to decentralize off of minerclaim but its hashing steady 66% of the community hash........ so its where you make the most over time ** |

Any pool is fine really, looks like theres a list linked there ^^^ I see.
What pools do you recommend?
I have been using MinerClaim, and it seems to be identical to the one you linked. Are there any differences?
Which one should I use?
I don't have a powerful setup (a couple of Raspberry Pis and an old laptop).
Should I look for pools with a lot of people and very good PC's, or something else?
Sorry, I'm new to this.
your setup sounds fine man, magi is perfect for small cpus like Pis, and when it comes to pools as long as the pool seems to be on the correct chain and actively hitting a block here and there (every few hours at the most) then its all good, any pool is fine, i use that mhash one i linked but only cause XMG dosent seem to be on suprnova's pools anymore (/cry lol) i also solo sometimes, its super easy thru the wallet, but the external miners are much more effective if you can hunt them down and set them up  what do you mean by external miners?? like is there something powerful for magi?? im using pi to mine turtlecoin as well and its kinda neat that i am using that to buy doge coin =] magi not really tradeable unless on tradesatoshi....... im using magi as learning cure but i been wanting to setup some type of miner for magi becuz it seems really hard to get a 100k hash rate on gaming units. power bill be crazy high hahaah im thinking of 3d printing a case for a pi cluster and setup a stack of 4 to mine and than just keep adding stacks of 4 POS = NEAT!!!! |

Hi! Is this coin dead? It seems to have dropped a lot in value: (compared to Jan 2018) https://cryptoslate.com/coins/magi/I'm new to this coin (and cryptocurrencies in general), so I don't really know. I'm currently mining at ~30KH/s (is that good?) If it is dead, what could be some alternatives to it? (cpu-minable, stakeable, light...) to be honest i am around 20kH/s with just 3 raspberry pies running, its low power consumption so i say you probably losing on the power end. but yea thats like 50 coins a year with average downtime and such. but this coin is the coin i learned a lot from and making plans to change to other coin just to gamble away on websites playing games and such. but all in all the staking part took me a little time to understand and build up the coin to help stake. tests i am doing are: 1-put wallet to raspberry pi for 24/7 staking 2-split the 1,000 xmg to stake @600-700 to see if i make more on staking in a week. everybody seems to be doing 1k xmg per stake 3- pray i can get it to run on raspberry pi so i can stake a lot =] |

has anybody been looking at this https://miningpoolstats.stream/magi??? currently as we speak its 140 MH/s told me when the global hash rate reaches over 100 MH/s 46-51% of it is "unknown" so it looks like there's a big whale mining hahaha did someone crack it to mine with those antminers? or those now outdated bitman miners that use scrypt since LTC coin and BTC are now haved and harder to POW mining its like everybody going over to alt coins such as DOGE or TRTL. to keep their mining rigs in the mix..... all i know is if these coins keep halfing we going to see a huge drop in BTC price and people on reddit are saying that this could be the end for cryptocurrency since the US are forcing banks to stop with anything cryptocurrency |

Very quiet in here lately... How y'all doin'? How's the staking goin'? How's the steak goin'? (if you are or have lately eaten steak, in which case: how was it prepared & it?)  Not been doing much staking recently - I need to dockerize my wallet but too lazy Hey starman, I hear ya, I need to figure out how to compile, run, & interact with magi wallet on a RPi3 but too lazy stoopid . I've read somewhere suggestion to stake on external hdd rather than sd card. I'm not professional and could be wrong, but isn't pos writing data on storage? If yes, then hdd would last longer. i use my pi3 to boot OS from a HDD and another one from a SSD and it does increase the HASH RATE by 10% and the performance of the pi is much much better but it does require a special power supply. i use this one board and enclosure that you can get on amazon for like $25 but it does get a little hot so i added another fan over the pi instead of off to the side like the original desgin. its nice and it adding link to it so you can check it out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073J97ZVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1fyi i only burnt out one SD card mining on my pi but that was because it was getting too hot 99C but now its on that and in a case with a better fan and no issues. my cpu temp stays at 51.6 to 60C and hasn't throttled or burnted out the HDD. |

Staking and coin control:  Why do blocks with younger age and lower confirmations go into stake before older blocks with higher confirmations. Oldest block max. 3 or 4 days, youngest block less than one day. i been having the same issue with older blocks not going into staking before the younger blocks..... it's frustrating me on how to figure it out. but i am looking into splitting my coins to two wallets to stake since i am picking up so much XMG off tradesatoshi with my fraction of BTC..... was thinking of keeping 25 blocks on each wallets since it seems to only accept 25 blocks in a 24hr period....... has to have a set limit in the wallet for blocks per day..... unless you are getting more blocks to stake than me, if so tell me your secrete ~mike |

I sent all my coins, more than 100, to 1 address with posii=1 & wallet unlocked for staking but after 361 confirmations of Tx I'm still "Not staking because you don't have enough weight".
Did you put them all in one block, with coin control? Or only send them to one address, so you might have too small blocks. Selected all using coin control, sent to one address, all my XMG are now in 1 block at 1 address, finally staking now at 484 confirmations since Tx with weight of 125 & expected reward time around 2 days. That estimate will probably go down to 1-2 hours, but I probably won't mint anything and as coins age the timeframe will increase until I haven't enough weight. Been through this a few times, never minted 0.0000001 XMG. But mining on Raspberry Pi's is fun. are u using raspberry pi to mint from the wallet??? congrats on mining with a pi, try to get your hands on more to earn more with POW. I am around 6 months right now with POW on pi 3's and a pi 2... POS was tough for me to get it down but now it seems so much easier than POW....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMPmgew0aYc check this out to see if you can use a pi to use as a POS machine. it's my next project once i get caught up on 3D printers =] |

Cool, thanks for sharing. Yes removing the GUI has a decent impact on the amount of code running & thus CPU load, wasn't sure if you were going to go for that, but I'm glad you did because it also reduces potential attack surface on the OS, less binaries, less exploits. Same for radio comms, turn off if not needed, more potential attack points removed. Taken together, less power usage, moreso than I'd expected. Did you try the stats script I shared? To be honest, with 13 Pi's you'd be better off using a monitoring tool like Zabbix to collect & view data about temps & loads etc. There exists support & templates for Raspberry Pi, some links for you: [/quote] make ur own bash script for the temp and cpu load, why use another source for monitoring when you can just SSH into the pi on the cluster/stacker..... its fairly easier and if you make each one static IP you are all set on knowing which one is which.. you be able to tell which one is down when you look onto the pool and you see number missing on the miner. only thing i liked from your links is the temp trigger but you can just simply add that into your bash file or use this: https://github.com/jeezz/piminer-m7it has everything in it even the cpu clock speed to see what your at |

minerclaim having issues and this is now day 2 of this, we hashing away but nothing is changing on the dashboard, the magi chain showing that minerclaim is finding coins but nothing being distributed.... anybody know how to contact the guy running minerclaim?  ? know he was on here a few times but can't seem to find his username thanks mike |

you don't switch between wallets. if you put in separate address its in the same wallet with multiple addresses.... it would be in the receive part. but if you switched to another wallet i hope you have that wallet.dat file or you're SOL =[
Guys, thank you for helping about the wallet issue I am having. For the life of me I don't remember how I was sending coins around. I have 4 different wallet.dat which I backed up from 2016 but now I am worried to try anything. Can you tell me where I should look in the GUI? Also, as the blockchain is fully downloaded and wallet is syncronized, is it safe for me to shut wallet down and try the different wallet.dat? If so, where would I look to see if I get access to both my addresses? Bigstinker, you probably figured it out already but this is what I was doing for staking: Hope it helps, I can't tell you if these IP are still valid hence I rem them all out. Last 3 params are the most important, enable pos with posii=1, any amount bigger than "threshold" (in my case 500) is used for staking and anything smaller than 500 is used to "combine". Basically once you reach 500, that amount is used for staking. yes i would use the other wallet.dat files but im curious are they all for the same wallet? sounds like you the type that had multiple wallets and made yourself super confused |

I see 9Eqzf11G2GkGmGrbrQbdJXcCthE3zzotuv has around 15 coins left. This address 9PSNtrK2dnhy3BZXJqFDrvbwmWuzGsQavy has 6025 coins. I hope you have a wallet with the last address with 6025 coins, is this right? Nope, I have the other one. Maybe I don't remember properly but I think I was only using one wallet. In Magi can I have more than one wallet within the same GUI? I mean because I know my encryption pass, do I have a way to get back to the one with 6025 coins. I am quite sure I didn't have to "swap" wallet.dat you can have more than one address in your wallet. AKA sending coins to yourself to stake, which is the most common way to set up blocks in your wallet to make a good size stake. learning how to stake myself. so that you found the wallet address which is good. now did you use your wallet.dat file for the gui to check if it has multiple addresses?? i suggest downloading the most recent blockchain and sync up your wallet to see what you have as of now. This is what I don't remember, how can I switch between addresses? I have latest wallet and full blockchain. WHere do I see and choose my different wallets? you don't switch between wallets. if you put in separate address its in the same wallet with multiple addresses.... it would be in the receive part. but if you switched to another wallet i hope you have that wallet.dat file or you're SOL =[ |

i have mine setup with https://github.com/jeezz/piminer-m7 gives you the governor option so you can select performance, overclock and other features to bump up you hashrate. for me i have currently 2 pi 3b v1.3 and i get 15-18Kh/s and its not much of a bump up but it does help. piminer is a shell script that you call from BASH to automate handling of the whole miner setup process (someone worked out the RPi3 dependencies & compile flags for you); all of which is pretty neat. You can see it here: https://github.com/jeezz/piminer-m7/blob/master/piminer-install.shI wrote a shell script to check temps/OS-version/filesystem via SSH, ie: displayed on cmd line. If I weren't so lazy stupid busy I'd set cron to check temps & email alert if temp => X°. It's shown below if you want it, for convenience I'd create it where you land in SSH/terminal on desktop, but if you have desktop environment look into conky, especially conky colors: # create temps/stat script
nano stat.sh
# paste the following, exit & save
/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
uname -a
df -h
# make executable
chmod +x stat.sh More on vcgencmd: https://elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usageso far i am looking into making a cluster on amazon i found a stacker for 4 pi and they come with fan and heat sinks, neat thing is the fans are above the CPU so it keeps it cool. the PSU you can go for a cheap 30A PSU (*$30) they use for 3D printers (i have a few sitting around) and pick up a USB adapter or a buck down converter (usually $8-10) to keep the 5v 3a needed per pi and setup a fan for added air flow to keep under 70C...... i know its a lot to do a pi cluster but if you live in the states i probably help send the PSU from my old 3D printer.
That's a very kind offer & demonstrates the disposition of the Magicoin community that attracted me here  - unfortunately I'm not stateside, which is why hardware is so expensive (US is a major shipping destination for Asian mfr & bulk runs save $, everywhere is more or less 'other' destination lol). 1 PSU & adapters/converters per RPi vs individual PSU: comparison not just of cost but also failure domain, 1 PSU is a single point of failure whereas separate PSU spreads that domain. Choices... constraints... I would like to make a 'cluster' too, strictly speaking it isn't a cluster unless using some quorum/replication solution like Galera for MariaDB. I know the stackers you mentioned, they're the best solution for multi-pi pools - cheap, effective, active cooling. SOLD  https://www.ebay.com/itm/254051554116. I'm also considering using something like this, I was given one but only a few of the USB interfaces are 3A, and this one is only 2.4A per, so that's a limiting factor: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264125371811Note that active cooling is a must-have for pi-stack mining, unless you live in Barrow Alaska - the combined heat output of many RPi in proximity... the pi4 is out that thing can pump out hash rates for monero coin like its a USB asic stick. =]
Wonder which binaries/dependencies it is able to run, there are some issues that need to be worked out, check YouTube vids for more info before diving in, just in case. i just don't see how some of these miners getting 3.7MH/s for cpu coins
Some pools don't enforce limits  so people will naturally go as hard as they can, which hurts all magi miners. If you have a pool of modern CPUs you can thrash out solved blocks of hashes like there's no tomorrow and cripple the payout. thank you for the information you have given me, i didn't think about removing the BT and the wifi to reduce power requirements. will do that to see if it helps keep it from hitting undervoltage every so often
Most welcome my friend; I'm unsure if removing software support for those chipsets will lower power requirements, I removed them because RPi 2B+ has no WiFi/Bt and it reduced space/boot a little bit. I run headless (cli only) so removing GUI (X11) yielded even moreso. If you want to do the same then run these cmds from bash, omit X* if using desktop (or it'll go bye-bye ): # RPi <3 that have no Bluetooth or WiFi dongle, remove pkg:
sudo apt-get remove --purge bluez
sudo apt-get remove --purge wpasupplicant
# Headless RPi that has no GUI, remove pkg:
sudo apt-get remove --purge libx11* Apologies for thread hijack, just tryin' ta help a bruva out. We now returning you to your regularly scheduled posts...nope we are not back to are regular scheduled posts....... yes a cluster is a grouping of multiple computers working on a same task divided up to process it faster and sure you can say other wise but sharing a same PSU isn't gonna have any issues if their is a failed PSU and the who thing goes down. if that happens than you lose out on mining until it's fixed but the cheapest route to do the stacker is having this: https://www.amazon.com/EAGWELL-Universal-Regulated-Switching-Computer/dp/B06XW76584/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=30+amp+3d+printer+psu&qid=1566388998&s=gateway&sr=8-2 plus this: https://www.amazon.com/MakerHawk-Voltage-Regulator-Supply-Charging/dp/B07KWRH61D/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=usb+3+amp+buck+up&qid=1566389198&s=gateway&sr=8-3to provide the full 3 amps to keep the pi running to prevent it from triggering under voltage and slowing down the cpu to not mine at peak performance. i haven't had any down time with my stacker/cluster in the 6 months of running. granted i am currently stacked at 13 pi 3b v1.3 which i am content with and keep adding as time goes on. unfortunately the information for bruva is going to be overwhelming and you're right with people going hard on mining trying to get the most out of what they can for coin is INSANE!!! sure i found out that you can pick up a server blade off amazon used for about $180-220 but the power requirements is two 750 watt PSU which would draw more power than what the coin is worth but is it really worth hashing with that much power for magi....... most definitely not....... as of right now with my rig im actually not gonna break even for another 2yrs if i put the $$ into it out of pocket, i am actually lucky i got these devices from students failed attempts to hack the school network over the course of two years, while they collecting dust i decided to use them and learn for myself about crypto..... might start a course in crypto and have student try to write some programs up to see if we can get this magi community bumping again who knows, `mike p.s.- meekness little info the disabling the BT, removing GUI and disabling the LED lights actually did help mining rig out power usage dropped 14.5% no with that times 13 i will make a profit monthly of 18 cents =] looks like i will make out after all |

Looks like back again, isn't? it was up and running the entire time but wasn't giving transactions. as of right now of this posting minerclaim is back at it not showing the blocks that it has mined and no rewards going out to the pool..... before we had them post that it's a backend error but i haven't seen the guy that is involved with minerclaim being on or active in a while and no way for me to contact him. yea i know i am on here too much recently but as of now school is out so why not be more active =] |

so anybody on here has experience mining magi with raspberry pi??? looking to find out if there any new updated cpuminer for them....
I use 2x RPi2B+ 32-bit (earlier BCM not later), set up thus: - raspbian-stretch-lite-2019-04-08 although this is now replaced by Buster
- cli only, X11 & all extraneous packages removed including WiFi & Bt (CAT6 conx only)
- cheap 4GB SD card
- m-cpuminer-v2
- managed via SSH
The pair achieve about 10-15KH/s, wish I had more but RPi3B+ & PSU cost around $55-60 each where I currently live, so making a cluster becomes as expensive as a small x86 64-bit desktop system. Here's a link to NovaSpirit's guide to setting up a magi miner on RPi3, he uses wolf-m7m-cpuminer ( https://github.com/novaspirit/wolf-m7m-cpuminer) which I have used successfully on old spare dual-Xeon servers running Linux Mint (while I still had access to them). Both miners are about the same vintage, I don't know if there's any significant difference: https://www.novaspirit.com/2017/10/19/crypto-mining-sbc/I really wish there was more active development on XMG/Magi, I still like this coin and the idea of it, maybe some day a developer will pick it up as a project to champion but that sounds too much like singing "Some day my prince will come" i have mine setup with https://github.com/jeezz/piminer-m7 gives you the governor option so you can select performance, overclock and other features to bump up you hashrate. for me i have currently 2 pi 3b v1.3 and i get 15-18Kh/s and its not much of a bump up but it does help. so far i am looking into making a cluster on amazon i found a stacker for 4 pi and they come with fan and heat sinks, neat thing is the fans are above the CPU so it keeps it cool. the PSU you can go for a cheap 30A PSU (*$30) they use for 3D printers (i have a few sitting around) and pick up a USB adapter or a buck down converter (usually $8-10) to keep the 5v 3a needed per pi and setup a fan for added air flow to keep under 70C...... i know its a lot to do a pi cluster but if you live in the states i probably help send the PSU from my old 3D printer. if you willing to drop the few extra $$ for the other things needed. my goal is to get 4-10 pi running on a stacker and i found that i can pick up the brass stand offs and just use that instead of having the added plastic sleeves from the amazon item. but i would have to have like 2 80mm fans throwing air at the CPU's to keep it cool and going. im just trying to find out if there is better CPU miners out there since i see people updating their CPU miners for other coins and algorithms, its kinda sad nothing really being updated for M7M algorithms. wish there can be a cpuminer V3 or something. specially now that the pi4 is out that thing can pump out hash rates for monero coin like its a USB asic stick. =] i just don't see how some of these miners getting 3.7MH/s for cpu coins, its like they gotta of hacked it use GPU or something becuz that's just killer high hahah im happy mining MAGI its fun and having a cluster project going is so much fun, learning a lot about mining but what's really driving me nuts is this PoS stuff. thank you for the information you have given me, i didn't think about removing the BT and the wifi to reduce power requirements. will do that to see if it helps keep it from hitting undervoltage every so often `mike |
