[Update] New wallet v1.2.2.1 (not hardfork):

Downloads:

Windows: http://coinmagi.org/files/magi-release/m-wallet-1.2.2.1-win.zip
Linux: http://coinmagi.org/files/magi-release/m-wallet-1.2.2.1-linux.tar.gz
Mac OS X: http://coinmagi.org/files/magi-release/m-wallet-1.2.2.1-macosx.dmg
Source code: https://github.com/magi-project/magi/

Updates:

• Updated checkpoints
• Compilation with Berkeley DB v4.8.30.NC

Starting from v1.2.2.1, we will use Berkeley DB v4.8.30.NC in any future release (http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz). The DB concern was raised by feldenthorne. We will stick to the version 4.8 for compatibility. For this reason, you may need to do setup in case you were running wallet with a higher DB version >4.8:

# Windows: not affected since all prior wallets were built using the same DB version.
# Mac OS: you have to perform DB migration as detailed below.
# Linux: you have to perform DB migration as detailed below.

The Linux wallet now was built statically enclosing most of libraries. The current release was built by Linux Mint, and has been tested under my Xubuntu VB box. Let me know your linux version if it doesn't work for you.

I found one issue when building statical linux wallet that is the Qt font which I haven't managed to embed it statically. You need to set this up manually: 1) create a folder: /usr/local/Qt-5.4.1/lib/fonts; 2) copy a TTF font file into this folder, e.g., DroidSans.ttf as enclosed in the "fonts" folder, or any others you can find elsewhere.

Note to Mac OS compilation: I was only able to build db-4.8.30.NC by applying patch as specified here: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/databases/db48/files/patch-dbinc_atomic.h?rev=104994

DB migration:

If you ran the wallet with a higher DB version, you will have to re-sync the whole blockchain and convert to db4.8 wallet.

1) Make sure to backup wallet.dat. Delete everything (blockchain) except wallet.dat. If you don't want to spend much time to download everything through the wallet, I have uploaded an existing chain here: http://coinmagi.org/files/m-blockchain; download and unpack the files into the magi folder.

2) Rename wallet.dat to, say wallet.dat.db6 (assume your prior db version is 6), and then do the following:

Code:

/opt/local/src/db/db-6.1.19/release/bin/db_dump wallet.dat.db6 | /opt/local/src/db/db-4.8.30.NC/release/bin/db_load wallet.dat

I have two DB installed respectively in /opt/local/src/db/db-6.1.19/release/bin/ and /opt/local/src/db/db-4.8.30.NC/release/bin.

3) Rund Qt wallet.

4) If you have issue with wallet conversion, I could do it for you. Alternatively, simply start over a new wallet (through the new wallet) and transfer coins into it (through the old wallet).

A side note: you are free to use any DB version to build the wallet; it works just fine, though we recommend to use the official wallets which are built with DB4.8.

Let me know any questions you may have.

Nice work , Joe ..as always😊

[feldenthorne]

[...] The DB concern was raised by feldenthorne [...]

The concern was actually raised by Phillc... But I haven't seen him around since I unintentionally chased him out of the community.  

Sad thoughts aside, it's great to hear that the wallets will have consistent BDB versions now. I'll update my sources so the branches with pull requests are even with the official release.

Thanks mate for being around when I'm away, though I seem having minimum time yet at this time.

Thanks, I believe being consistence is the better option.

Awesome Joe! Activity from our great Magi dev is awesome! Thank you!

I just noticed XMG isn't on Poloniex anymore. When did that happen?

Haha yea and it never left! Poloniex did an update lately. And sure XMG will stay there! 

[ElMacho20000]

Nice pictures guys! Lol going to use that hd version in new tweets!

Better change a little bit the pic.
I guess everything from 007 movie is ultra trademarked and people in US or UK are absolutely crazy about that trademark/copyrigth shit

Odd, it wasn't there when I looked earlier... Oh well, probably an error on my part.

Great job Joe.

Is there's a guide to updating the wallet?
It could be useful. If we want magi to be widely accepted it must become extremely easy to use so 1 click updates, guides for everything, etc...
Perhaps someone in the community could write something so Joe doesn't waste time with that.
Cheers

1-click updates? 1-click comprehensive help?

Just translated it to Indonesian, am I the fastest?

Bitcoins look cheap to me today. XMG is going cheap on Bittrex.

Hmmm ....

[Spexx]

Problem with Maxminers XMG pool. Cannot establish a connection to log in to the web site, although the ip address pings just fine. Miners seem to be running ok and I can pull statistics from the pool, so that is a bit of a puzzle

Great, this is why Magi will go to the moon! Let's keep this great community united and see what will happen.

My hash on PoM pool is going up and down of about 90 kH/s...

The figures that come from all the pools can seem a bit random at times. They average-out over time though. It is probably just an effect of short time-period sampling.

Hey guys, I chose Magi as my Coin of the Week to talk about on my last show. It's a show meant for those who may have heard of a coin, but never really looked into it.

You can listen to the episode on the SuperNET Radio soundcloud:

Enjoy! And SNRN operates solely from donations at this point, so if you like the program - you can donate some magi
