Oh yes. If Brian May keeps practicing, then one day he might be as good as me  (I have been playing guitar for over 40 years). One thought about your "spare" hosting capacity - a repository for XMG software resources in one place might look more professional than the various places we have atm. I use Dropbox for my distributions, but would prefer to have them hosted on a "named" place for kudos. |

I agree. Your website http://cryptomagic.com already contains a "get started" section. Or create a new menu "mining" and next to tutorials put the tools there. |

The site is outdated; I am working on the site and will make it work more efficiently, with guide, downloads etc up; so people can get more information from there. I will drop him a message and see how this is going; running pool more or less get my vps server/vendor complaining about that. Edit, is this pool a reasonably good one, since the thread was opened in August, but only few posts there; also can't see any complaints since thread is self-moderated. |

Ok. In case he won't do, there's a great pool software that soon launches a multipool feature. Don't know what server specs are required but I can find out (don't think a huge box will be needed for some Scrypt and probably some SHA256 coins). |

I found it when looking for a EXCL pool. Don't know more about it but will keep my eyes open. Just had another idea, probably even better. Coinking.io is a well known multipool and provides payouts in different coins (they usually exchange all 6 hours). Maybe talk to them if they would add XMG as payout option. This way you have no additional work. |

The problem with pools is the high rate of DDOS attack that is the most concern. |

Currently exchanges are being attacked regularly, btw. Yes, as far as I know Coinking is DDoS protected but that could be discussed. I have just the ideas, you are the one who decides which way to go  Do you know if there are any active XMG community members from china? |

Quite so. One thing they share in common is a never-ending learning process. The beauty of it is that you only ever get better at it |

I recently read that China plays an important role in the crypto worls. So there must be dedicated chinese mining pools. chinese miners probably prefer them more. It's just a thing to find that out and find a "representative"/pool operator for that audience. |

I heard blocknet is a scam ... so popular things are sort of making people additions to that, get things boring, and comes with scams too likely. I would say  |

We are still lack of sufficient promotions of XMG and XMG is yet to have "big" exchange, which are quite critical to get the coin and miners a hype. Despite this, the multipool will be a good start for people who want to get XMG by mining scrypt/x11 coins. The problem with the China market is there are so many coins that people won't trust any incoming coins. Based on what happened to the subforum, XMG may get an opportunity, while we'll need sort of good promotion strategy. |

I'm looking forward to trying Tor wallet soon. I keep hearing many anon supporters talking about its potential. Any tips for someone who knows nothing about it?
What is it? Why is it important?

Recently came across this that might be interesting: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c8yb3/a_stepbystep_guide_to_creating_an_anonymous/This article posted by Frisian is also something we should worry about: |

I agree but let me point out another point of view: When listed on a big exchange like Cryptsy or Bittrex, people (miners, traders, investors) are making pressure on the DEV. Cause price will only increase when new features are on the way. So there will be a lot of pressure on you. With the current situation, you have more time. There's a still lot to do, website, spreading the hash (currently PoS has 66% of all blocks, Nonce-pool 28% and suprnova only 6%) and much more. XMG has a steady value of 2000-3000, that's more than many other new coins have. Not bad for a new coin in the "early days". Lemurcoin for example has 10x the value but there will only be 100k coins in total, so not to compare. With giveaways, a multipool and more pointing out the CPU mineable fact, we will attract more people, making them interested in finding out more about Magi, staking their coins or exchanging them which leads to more volume. The problem with the China market is there are so many coins that people won't trust any incoming coins. Based on what happened to the subforum, XMG may get an opportunity, while we'll need sort of good promotion strategy.
Like I said, a representative/advertiser for the chinese market, who knows this market, would be awesome. Let's add this to the to-do-list. btw, I only have currently around 400 XMG (so I'm not one of the top coin holders, just a simple miner) but I'm willing to help making XMG a great and valueable coin. That explains my commitment |
