We need some more donations. 126 of 155 are already distributed. If active members only give 1 or 5 coins, that would be cool.

Donated 200 to the faucet. Tx cc3b953157e22bbb058cc3e690af46f287907494c6779ad0f1276ffe7b79d74a
Hope this will help a bit

I Agree that if active members gave a small amount that would be great.

[joelao95]

so kind of you, ex33s. 

[jpx3m]

true. and will be sending some more as we go along the way (surely will be for a very long time with the support and promotion XMG is getting)

though i am really relatively new to the cryptocurrency scene. the staking status is my wallet changes from 2 days to 1 day.

what happens when that timer reaches 0? that is different from the PoM campaign right?

Great to have a new member interested in our community and coin.

Yes, PoM is for actively mining with your CPU. If you're actively mining, put your name on the list

No need to donate too much of your coins to this faucet, it's not for development purposes (I'm sure Joe will be able to setup one). It's intention is to make XMG more popular, so if each community member just give some coins, it would be great.

Regarding your question of the timer, that's a question Joe will have to reply to.

thanks for the information. yes, as long as my pc is on, the miner runs in the background. even added the wallet and the miner to the startup so even if my folks are using the computer it is still mining.

[joelao95]

was updating OP the merchant section and came across evilmuffinman's store accepting XMG. Nice stuffs there if any one is interested to that:

Oh yes

I have the miner started at boot time using a Scheduled Task under Windows. No icons, shortcuts, registry entries or windows visible anywhere and running at low priority, you wouldn't even know it was there unless you see it in Task Manager. You don't even have to log onto the machine. Sorted. Just make sure that your anti-virus program(s) have an exception defined for the minerd.exe as they tend to complain otherwise

NEW SOFTWARE RELEASES FOR WINDOWS

All versions

I have patched two of my batch file "wrappers" for the minerd (XMGminer.bat and failover.bat) to eliminate some bugs found when running on Windows XP and "Home" editions of Windows. I have also eliminated a potential infinite loop when there is an error condition with the minerd. You do not have to download the whole package to update these two files because I have made them available as an update package:-

.rar https://www.dropbox.com/s/qver1u3463mdshw/Spexx-batchfile-updates-07Nov2104.rar?dl=0

.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/juemr4unwenh02f/Spexx-batchfile-updates-07Nov2014.zip?dl=0

self-extracting .exe (extracts to C:\XMGminer by default) https://www.dropbox.com/s/hh386zhess07ugs/Spexx-batchfile-updates-07Nov2014.exe?dl=0

Just to remind you that the whole point of my batch files is to start the minerd as multiple instances with single threads, as opposed to a single instance with multiple threads. In testing, I found this regime gave an increase in average hashrate by about 0.5 percent. Not a lot, but measurable. Doing it this way also gives the option of spreading your hashwork (new word there?) between mining pools. In addition, I have built-in automatic mining pool fail-over in the event of a mining pool going offline. See here for details https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.msg9285948#msg9285948

Windows 32 bit

You lucky people! I have a new 32 bit minerd for you which is 7 percent faster than the previous version and also eliminates one DLL file. The updated binaries are available on the usual links:-

.rar https://www.dropbox.com/s/5nikel2wglhpsrk/Spexx-Win32-generic-XMGminerd.rar?dl=0

.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/ti8rnetlqmin4t1/Spexx-Win32-generic-XMGminerd.zip?dl=0

self-extracting .exe (extracts to C:\XMGminer\32bit by default) https://www.dropbox.com/s/z8mjcrxavgnfalu/Spexx-Win32-generic-XMGminerd.exe?dl=0

Happy hashing

@spexx
I spent a lot of time trying to set the right myminer.bat, but whatever I try, it does not connect to the pool. Could you please provide a clear example of what to fill out in what position?
I.e. to login on suprnova I use my emailaddress, not the username. What and where to fill out in the .bat file?

I guess it's a login problem, my guess would be the incorrect setting with Login Name and Worker.

My file looks like this (in case you edit myminer.bat directly)

start "XMG Magi Autominer" automine.bat "POOL LOGIN" "WORKERNAME" "2" "0" "PASSWORD" "stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090" "stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090" "1" "2"

I created 2 workers, worker0 and worker1. This line tells the miner to use POOLLOGINAME.WORKER (i.e. johndoe.worker), 2 worker are present, starting with 0.

The last value after the stratum address should be the number of threats ("2"). But using the setup file is easier.

If that doesn't help, please copy your file and give your information (probably with alias data).

Thank you for helping out. I get stratum authentication failed. This is my bat file:

@echo off
title XMG Magi Monitor
start "XMG Magi Autominer" automine.bat "xmgwes" "worker1" "4" "0" "worker1password" "stratum+tcp://xmg.suprnova.cc:7128" "stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090" "1" "2"
exit

xmgwes is my suprnova account Username

in other .bat files you have  to enter xmgwes.worker1

but here it is split in 2. why?

[djm34]

I think it would be good to rethink a bit PoS, there are too many minted block with practically no value.
I get something like 2 minted block by hours, which is kind of a lot (considering they carry a 0.0something xmg value...)
(and another while I was re-reading what I wrote   )

So my suggestion: decrease the frequency by a factor N (and increase the interest rate by the same N... actually that's bad math... the interest would remain the same, as it is calculated over a period of time)

[salinas]

so lonely mining on suprnova .___.

Lol. Not really though. Noncepool has more than twice the number of workers, but not twice the hashrate. I am rather glad that your considerable hashing power is on Suprnova, because if you switched to Noncepool the situation would be very unbalanced. I split my hashing power 50/50 between the two pools and I would like to see more people doing the same thing to balance things out. This is my miner startup batch file under Windows 7 (64 bit) on a quad-core processor:-

start /low /min /affinity 0x7 minerd --url stratum+tcp::/xmg.suprnova.cc:7127 --user Spexx.Spexx0 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /low /min /affinity 0xb minerd --url stratum+tcp::/xmg.suprnova.cc:7127 --user Spexx.Spexx1 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /low /min /affinity 0xd minerd --url stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090 --user Spexx.Spexx2 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /low /min /affinity 0xe minerd --url stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090 --user Spexx.Spexx3 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet

... which works very nicely. I have a new autostart batch file in development which will do this for you if you have identical account setups on both pools. It works just fine at the moment, but I am going to incorporate automatic pool fail-over too just to see if I can break it Another task is to create a proper Readme file to go with the package before release. Windows users will be overjoyed I'm sure Watch this space ...

Great contributions! Thank you very much!

Edit+add: We need a XMG faucet! As a faucet lover, I would like to drip from one! As a humble contribution I will add 50 XMG to the bounty to build one. (I will surely drip it back say ... in one year) An hourly faucet giving away ~0.1 per drip should sound ok in my opinion.

I would add 100 XMG to a faucet

and u can take that to the bank!

Here's my 100 XMG contribution to the faucet as promised. Tx c6888a1d145069e979cdf07e21984eacaecb06db7a461ffff1cef8c307d9e148

Thank you for helping out. I get stratum authentication failed. This is my bat file:

exit

xmgwes is my suprnova account Username

in other .bat files you have  to enter xmgwes.worker1

but here it is split in 2. why?

You are right, usually you put USERNAME.WORKER in most bat file. But in those cases you use 1 device.

In this case, you're using several cores of your CPU. Each core gets an it's own worker (this way you get more speed).

Step by step:

Log into suprnova pool
Account - Workers
If you want 2 threads, create i.e. worker0 and worker1. Using 4 threads, it would be worker0, worker1, worker2, worker3

Your bat file would be, depending how many threads you use and how many worker you created
start "XMG Magi Autominer" automine.bat "xmgwes" "worker" "4" "0"
xmgwes is pool username, worker the name of the worker without any digits. 4 means 4 threads and 0 means "start counting at 0". The script would start 4 threads:
xmgwes.worker0
xmgwes.worker1
xmgwes.worker2
xmgwes.worker3

Let me know if it works.

I mentioned something similar, too. Will talk about it with the developer, if we can improve the PoS part.

Cool, thank you!!

[jawitech]

Thanks to all who donated, we really appreciate your support.

As the faucet is not under the control of the Magi team, it would be better to donate smaller amounts like 10 coins or so. Joe will set up a dedicated donation address which are for marketing and development purposes. I have some ideas in my mind in regards of marketing, how to use those donations.

Good advice!
