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

[salinas]

hey guys,

considering launch. I am still keeping an eye on the clock on page one of this announcement. In light of what has been posted on Twitter and Facebook recently, that countdown might be accurate.


I'm fairly new to the forum. Having just written that:

3 hours left and no working windows miner / wallet...  

[Aladin London]

Can anyone tell me what page the eta is on?

[Amph]

still no gpu miner for this? or i'm missing something in the OP?

[RedZeppelin]

3 hours left and no working windows miner / wallet...  

Dev said yesterday he would postpone until there is a windows miner..

[RedZeppelin]

still no gpu miner for this? or i'm missing something in the OP?

GPU/FPGA supposed to be resistant coin, CPU only it seems at least at the moment.

[salinas]

i thought not providing / not beeing able to supply a gpu miner was intended. maybe I misunderstood ...


however. isn't the cpu miner provided on page 32 working?

[ocminer]

I don't see anything (really) special about the algo - its almost the same from Cryptonite.

I'll add a pool too later after some testing, a GPU Miner should not be a big problem for my understanding

[mightname]

Where can I buy some XMG?  Are there exchanges for XMG?

[Sellman]

well, is miner and wallet for win ready or no?

[A guide for VPS mining]

Setting Amazon AWS up is not that much different from VPS. Here is a reference; notice this is for GPU spot instance (http://aloysius.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/is-mining-litecoins-on-aws-ec2-profitable-part-2-gpu-mining/)

A conversation about setting up wallet & cpuminer:

http://cryptomagic.com/files/misc/all-about-aws.txt

1) Sign up for an account.
If you like, use my referral link, and support this project too.  

https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0881d086fee6

Input a name for the vps, Select Size (all types work), Select image: Debian 7.0 x64; all others default, then click Create Droplet.

2) You will receive an email about login info, typically

Code:

ssh root@IP

to login the system

3) Once you login, copy and paste following commands (magi is username, use any else you like)

Code:

adduser magi

follow instructions

Code:

/usr/sbin/visudo

to edit the section:

## User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
magi   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

3) exit and ssh again with

Code:

ssh magi@IP

4) Upgrade and install packages:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libminiupnpc-dev git
sudo apt-get install gfortran 
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

5) this is needed if you choose the minimum size during VPS creation

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

6) run magi wallet

Code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/magi-project/magi
cd magi/src
make -f makefile.unix

Create a conf file which should be in the folder: ~/.magi (magi is the user we created)

Code:

cd ~/.magi
emacs magi.conf

emacs is text edit tool, use any you like. save the following content:

daemon=1
server=1
rpcport=18232
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass

Code:

cd ~/magi/src
./magi &

The last command runs the daemon.

7) compile cpuminer

Code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/magi-project/magi-minerd
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" ./configure
make

Edit magi-minerd.sh in case you need to change something, and "--threads 1" to change the number of threads

Code:

./magi-minerd.sh

to run the miner.

If I set up a Digital Ocean VPS using these settings and run the miner will it start mining when the timer hits 0?  Also what should I do in regards to the threads? I am planing on renting a 12 core server for as long as I can afford.

[popcorn75]

how hard will the windows miner be to set up?

No, the wallet source / compiled wallets will not be made available until the timer hits zero.  So You will need to follow this process AFTER they are released (check github now and you'll see the source in those instructions is not available)

As for threads, start with 12 and see how you go.  If you're just using a single machine like this you should be fine with 12. 

[Sellman]

well, is miner and wallet for win ready or no?

news???

[lama82]

Just hang on. DEV will give launch time!

[TorinT]

Should we mine with wallet again in the beginning?

[aloney]

Dev is still sleeping!

[Sellman]

Dev is still sleeping!

!!!!! KMON I WANT TO KNOW IF WALLET AND MINER FOR WIN READY AND WHERE I DOWNLOAD!!!!!!

[lama82]

Iam trying to contact the dev.
I'll let you know if it worked

[cakir]

25 minutes left, is windows miners ready yet?
