Noted suggestions bud.

Nice work, Spexx; I'll update a few links too. 

[MagiPay - standalone payment gateway for Magi]

I have mentioned our standalone payment gateway sometimes ago; here is how it looks like. The expected delivery is about three weeks from now. This development is parallel to the coin itself as marketing feed and making 'real' things.


What's the 'real'?

The motivation is to create a real land for Magi. Any things can be speculative, instances existed here and there, now and then. Speculation is just about imagination, upon manipulated/semi-manipulated/virtual facts. Being the kind way we call it investment. Things should be pretty straightforward, without complicating the stuffs and confusing people's mind. It's pretty funny that value does be created from vacuum (theory of matters creation from null as proposed in physics is absolutely unique). When we talk about the value of gold, it exists in applications of jewelry, electronics, chemistry, medicine, to name a few, even food, and of course investment. When we talk about magi, it can be something (whether useful or not) missing in the space, for example, to achieve the fairness (absolutely relative to a counterpart) while I suspect my confidence in speaking of values by this argument. Additionally, let's talk something like warming up the room by mining, or evaluating CPU performance :-D, what else then, maybe as a course for one to learn CS science, but of course, investment. Seriously, as a medium of exchange, it should be exchangeable with stuffs.

How does it work?

1. A merchant creates an account at m-epays.com; after successful registration one can create a payment box;
2. m-epays.com issues MagiPay account details;
3. Integrate MagiPay to merchant's website;
4. Customer clicks the 'Pay with magi' button, MagiPay connects to m-epays.com server and requests for a specific payment box;
5. m-epays.com issues a MagiPay address and the total amount to be paid;
6. Customer sends coins to the MagiPay address;
7. Once the payment is received and confirmed, the server informs the successful payment;
8. After 1 hour upon the payment is received, the server automatically transfer the amount of magi to merchant's registered external wallet address.

What's special?

1. Fully configurable compared to the third party service provider, since we ourselves will manage the system; this way comes flexible features to be developed; so please suggest what we can do to make 'special'.

2. Using the payment service provided by MagiPay will be totally free, in comparison with cases which charge minimum 0.5%. Additional feature to make use of the free service is the inclusion of fiat/BTC-XMG conversion, which practically reduces charge accumulated during the process, where payment is done typically by, for example, the credit card.

We will make this system be usable in the first place. Going forward, magi will integrate this system with the planned marketplace, which would be something I can foresee. Though it's far from the right time to speak of the necessity where we invest our efforts, we just start from here.

Glad it's working. It's true syncing from scratch is a pain, option would be to create standalone downloadable block chain (similar to a snapshot).

Ignore the Magitor for this moment, I will be looking into that. The regular wallet should be working fine:

http://www.coinmagi.org/files/magi-release/win32_magi_v1.1.0.2.zip

v1.1.0.2 is no major difference from v1.1.0.1 except nodes fixing. I have alternatively run 1.1.0.1 and 1.1.0.2 with the same block data, so I am not sure of solution "Error loading Blockindex.dat". To confirm if this is something because of the block chain, will need painful launch from scratch then. But instead of delete all block data, simply rename the fold "Magi" (windows %appdata%\Magi) to something else, and then fire up the wallet.

You can check version via Help -> About Magi; however, "Unlock" doesn't matter with version; do you have pass set for the wallet?

Thanks for checking out. 


We did have a nice day, and looks like gonna have more coming. 

Well done mate, credit for magi having litebit.eu goes to you.

These CPUs came with my GPU rig since last year, but haven't been mining effectively. Since I sold my GPU rigs, they were idle typically. Compiling magi wallet was their main task which were very effective with 8 cores. I did play around the CPU mining in the past, like PTS; and have been buying i5, i7 (burned few too lol), now they have a destination - magi.  

Well done.. liked the text in their voting page.

This is awesome.. I just fired up my miners in becausepool too, will get my two AMD8350 up as well by night.

Thanks mate, nice article.

And the stratum for Magi: https://github.com/magi-project/magi-hash

It's a great compliment by comparison with bitcoin. Something out there still makes me worried here and there though. The least, we'll try to find places to spend XMG.

Totally agree, now it is part of my life, chat with people around every day.

Spexx, don't forget to check the channel out (probably hang there for a day and see:) ):  https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#magi

Thanks for the idea, I will be looking into the implementation of this.

Nice, this can be in the forum's guide section.

I got the same feeling as you when I firstly used it. A wiki/FAQ might help at this point.

For whatever reason, IRC is still popular. It's like something where you can find a person next to you.

Give away in IRC channel (below): 500 XMG in following days, up to 1000 depending how many people are involved. Giveaway will be available from time to time.
