I would post a pic of my best machine, but there is nothing to see. It's all black. Even the case screws are black. It had a red LED on the front panel, but I desoldered that and replaced it with a UV LED so even the LED is black lol. You would not know there was an LED there until you hold a piece of paper in front of it and it glows blue.

you need to come to the Netherlands for it coz its a live lanparty in a building with 30 other players, but if you want i can save a spot for you.

I regard mining XMG as a form of altruism.

It is does not make much economic sense when the amount I spend on electricity per day to mine a handful of XMG would actually be better spent on buying some XMG on the exchanges.

I use about £3.60 per day on electricity to run my machines, generating about 10 XMG per day by mining with the current block rewards. I could buy about 320 XMG with that right now. When we had that bumper crop a few weeks back the most I got was about 80 XMG in one day.

Come to think of it, I must be nuts

Eventually the bulldozers might realize they are wasting electricity.  I can't imagine the heat being produced, I already had to slow down my tiny miners to reduce heat in the summer.  OHHHH it's RAINING in IRC!

Yes it could be that, but I doubt it. Most people would give up after a few tries and failures, or spend hours upon hours getting nowhere - it would be quicker to just let a new wallet sync up normally.

The download routine that I have built into my new software suite uses wget.exe, which deals with network glitches by reconnecting and downloading from where it left off. It does not generate extra network traffic by restarting from the beginning. I have also engineered it so that it cannot be run directly by the user but will only run in very specific circumstances when needed. This should help prevent any abuse in future.

My thought exactly. It would take over 66 downloads to trigger a ban. This incident has wasted a considerable amount of my time and I am not happy. As if I had not had enough distractions recently, this is another setback to my software development effort that I could do without. Whoever did it, I don't want to know.

Wow, someone dumped 20K of his coins at bittrex.
I was the lucky one who got 6K of them.

i think that this is the point, why pools didnt do it?, they need something really complicated to apply it or what?

i think most of us will agree if all pools do it, yes? something like put some type of khs top.

First question: I have noticed some new miners recently throwing far too much hashrate at the blockchain. This reduces the XMG block rewards to dust for a time to discourage them - this is how it works by design. These people need to learn this principle and direct their excess hashrate at the Magi Multipool instead using another algorithm - they will get paid for that in XMG.

Second question: The addnodes need to be coded into the magi.conf parameter file, not via the command line in the wallet, but in fact you do not need them at all since the seed node addresses are now hard-coded into the wallet software. I think the OP needs a lot of attention (not my responsibility) to bring it up to date, make it less technical, less cluttered, better organised, more to the point and more useful for beginners.

We have come a long way in a short time and there are always new things going on as well, which is one reason why I absolutely love this coin too, but perhaps we do need to consolidate some of the historical stuff.
