[ANN] [XMG] MAGI | CPU mining | mPoW | mPoS | [MagiPay]

XMG wallets for windows and linux were uploaded here:

http://cryptomagic.com/files/magi-release/
(downloads currently removed until we fix an issue)
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.msg8463488#msg8463488)

NOTE: They only work on the testnet. I'd like to collect feedbacks. If everything goes smoothly, we can set up a launch time then. You won't be able to run the wallet without setting the testnet mode, that can be done through magi.conf. The default folder having this file is: %appdata%\magi (windows) or ~/.magi (linux) (sorry we don't have the mac wallet yet). magi.conf should contain this line:

testnet=1

You may also need:

daemon=1
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass

Once conf file is given in the right place, the wallet should be running on the testnet. Go to menu Help -> Debug window -> Console, run

setgenerate true 1

to mine coins ("1" is for 1 cpu core). We will update standalone miner asap. Please request wallets for the operating systems not available yet, I will compile that, going forward, to assure all wallets available at the launch.

About 2400 blocks were minted in the testnet so far; I've done that for various tests. Issues I've got are the network sync which was proven to be the access of money supply once blocks were minted during PoS. It's about the new PoS mechanism. A few linux boxes were set up for tests, some of which had mining enabled and thus the PoS. The blocks minted were sent for verification, for some reason some of them were two more ahead of the boxes being received, that makes inaccessible to the money supply and messed up PoS block processing. All look fine to me now, will need more confirmations on this.

The PoW mining can be done through the Console command: setgenerate true, or setgenerate true 1 (if you want to invest 1 CPU core only so that the computer won't slow down much). My primary interest is not about the M7 PoW part as to this test, but on the PoS. Let me know any questions/issues you have. If you got PoS earnings, appreciated if you can tell me how many coins are in stake, when and the amount you get the stake. I can send you some coins if you need that for test.

why reward is sometime 10, sometime 100 per block?

[joelao95]

why reward is sometime 10, sometime 100 per block?

I should put some numbers; 100 is for testnet in order to have some coins to paly; 10 (odd block number) is a mimic of the mainnet, a value particularly for this low diff, which grows up to 500 when diff hits 150.

also it need libboost 1.54 instead of 1.55? how can it run on my pc if i have boost 1.55?
what is db version needed?

may need to install 1.54 as linux requires library match; db is 5.1. Which linux version you're using, option is I compile a wallet for the system you're using, that way you won't need to change libraries that may cause dependency issues.

a bit late here, I will set up a ubuntu virtualbox tomorrow, and compile the wallets (you reminded me, ubuntu is a popular flavor (I am a linux mint fan), will need a few wallets).

Good idea developer!
The community involvement in the testing of the coin!
This way you can answer all questions and resolve problems.
Super!

I think you're trying running on the mainnet; create magi.conf in folder: %appdata%\magi, and then save this into that file: tesetnet = 1; start the wallet again, you will be on the testnet.

Yea, running some tests and also we can set up wallets for different systems, going forward, to be ready for the launch.

testnet fork?
can't sync
current number of blocks 2744
estimated total blocks 2753

How about close and re-open the wallet? addnode=66.55.90.58 if needed.

When did you start...

[cubydu]

What about POD  http://cryptoasian.com/proof-of-developer-faq/ ?

[111magic]

Just a idea!!!

I think it will be nice for the future of Magicoin if the ann-thread has been translated into several languages​​.
I have translated the ann into Dutch. Are there people within the community who speak a different language? If so, use half an hour of youre time for the translation and post a new topic in the forum of the language. Remember to send a link to the dev so he can add info etc.
The more people know Magicoin the better en stronger he wil be.

[joelao95]

When did you start...

We will keep it on the testnet few days, consider the launch then. I'll need more feedbacks, please run the wallet and let me know. Any one getting network sync issues?

[dearbesz]

i like to try the testnet idea,..interesting..!!

[joelao95]

What about POD  http://cryptoasian.com/proof-of-developer-faq/ ?

We can do this at an appropriate time; are they good/trustworthy in keeping personal information secure?

I can't believe so few people were mining this the past couple weeks with the upcoming changes!  I just kept quiet and kept on a mining, just kept a small miner on it though so other small minors could get theirs without me jacking up the difficulty.  Was surprised everyday to see there was only just a few of us mining it.  I got mine though:-)

intelligence begets you lol. smart move. this is exactly what i wouldve done but i went the buy route as i dont mine scrypt anymore being so heat intensive. ready to mine m7 though. have my coins waiting for the swap.
