On a similar note, if running a CPU miner at 75% or more, how dangerous is extended usage? A simpler question would be: how long could I run at 100% before my processor bursts into flames?
And on the topic of XMG itself: how do we achieve our dream of landing on the moon? A space walk, perhaps? Maybe build ourselves an O'Neil cylinder?
There is no chance that the processor will ever burst into flames  With modern CPU thermal limiting, there is virtually no way to fry a CPU other than by dropping it into a frying pan with a little hot oil and seasoning. The most important thing is to keep an eye on CPU temperature and to keep cooling fans and heatsinks free of dust to keep things running sweetly. This is certainly more important during hot weather. The safe operating temperature for CPUs differs from model to model. I am currently working on a CPU temperature limiter for XMG mining on Windows which works in conjunction with my Speed Controller. It is possible to limit the speed of the miner to keep the CPU temperature below a threshold level set by the user. I have this in Alpha testing at the moment. It uses SpeedFan for the temperature sensing. As for landing on the Moon and building O'Neill Cylinders, that is somewhat beyond my abilities right now. Maybe next week eh? |

What is better, having 1 worker with all the hash power or more workers sharing the hashes?
I made some little tests but cannot figure out if it changes something or not (I guess if it does, it's small)
I dont know. I always use one worker. Maybe someone else can give an answer on this. In PoM pool I use only one worker. In other pools I use one worker per CPU. I don't think that there is a difference in hashrate between one and multiple workers - each miner receives different share diff from pool based on his hashrate and submit share rate. Just when you use multiple workers, it's easier to spot a CPU problem, overheat, rig down, etc. |

I wonder...what can be expected XMG value in future (near or long)? I'm aware its almost impossible to predict price in crypto world, but still I'm wondering. Maybe 111magic, Joe can predict something ?  Let's say now 1 XMG = 0,00008 BTC. Is it reasonable to expect that XMG can reach 0,008 some day? |

Maybe 111magic, Joe can predict something ? Let's say now 1 XMG = 0,00008 BTC. Is it reasonable to expect that XMG can reach 0,008 some day? Almost impossible? More like utterly impossible  It makes for an interesting discussion though. Did anybody ever think that the value of a Bitcoin would reach 1000 dollars? Did anybody ever think it would plummet over the next year to under 200 dollars? Ultimately, the price of anything is what somebody is willing to pay for it, should they desire to possess it for whatever reason. While we are comparing the price of XMG against BTC, what will happen if/when BTC becomes old hat and XMG takes over as the "gold standard" cryptocurrency? It is the price of XMG against fiat currencies that we should be comparing. Currently, whenever I wish to calculate the value of my XMG holding in UKP I have to factor-in the value of a Bitcoin against the UKP. One day soon, maybe I will not have to worry about that step. One thing that I do know for sure is that cryptocurrencies and other local currency schemes are here to stay and are the way of the future, here today. One very interesting project going on very near to me is The Brixton Pound. Fascinating stuff and it works really well. |

Ohhhh, talking about wallet, my wallet version is 1.2.1.1, how do i update my wallet? Is there any problem if i make it wrong? lol
Joe mentioned that he has yet to update the binaries on the website from 1.2.1.1 to 1.2.1.2 some time last week. I suspect that's partly due to the personal matters he has had to deal with lately, partly because of the Berkeley Database stuff that I've kept bringing up, and probably for a few other reasons as well. In short, though, he said there were no significant changes between 1.2.1.1 and 1.2.1.2 that require you to update. So it's alright to wait for the next official release, unless you're really itching to have the newest version (which would require you to compile it yourself). Thanks mate |

I guess a stable value for XMG would be something like 0.2 USD, so lets say 10 times what is it now. I don't think it could go up till 1 USD or more for all the reasons we all know (essentially no exponential difficulty) |
