I've noticed for pages now that you are frequently taking about SweetSpot, but what is it ? A software that improve mining ? Or something else ?

The Sweet Spot Miner (Official Magi site mirror, out of date) is a program (written in Delphi, I think?) that manages your hashing power (so you don't waste energy mining when the rewards are low). From the link above:

Sweet Spot Magi Miner is able:

• to hide the miner window so it will not waste your taskbar space.
• to hide itself into the system tray while running.
• to start the miner at LOW priority so the miner will not slow down your work.
• to check the current Network Hashrate and control the miner CPU usage targeting the Sweet Spot 22MH/s the Hash Rate you choose.
• to check the current Block Value and control the miner CPU usage targeting 12+XMG/Block the Block Value you choose.

And here's a screenshot of the interface, if you're curious:

This miner looks really interesting ! I think I'll update my Spexx's miner that I have since March  !

This miner looks really interesting ! I think I'll update my Spexx's miner that I have since March  !

I've been using this miner for a while now - its really good. Be sure to experiment with number of threads or processes to find the best setup for your rig. For me, I found threads was better than processes and used double the threads to logical processing cores, but that could be due to my network latency.

I already love it ! But tell me, if I enter that I say that the XMG block reward is at least 10+ XMG, will it mine if the block reward is lower ?

Yes it still mines but at a slower rate to reduce power consumption (and net hash rate if lots of users are mining using Sweet Spot) - it then ramps up the power when you hit the profitable rate.

I have my sweetspot miner set to block value target of 10 xmg with min cpu usage at 10% and max at 30%.  If the block reward is lower it still mines at 10%.  If the block reward is 10 or higher it uses 30%.  I think that there is some wiggle room here because it still uses 30% at 7 XMG reward but if it goes to 3 XMG reward like it is right now it only uses 10%.  I would use more than 30% when it is profitable but I would need to get a watercooler for my AMD FX-8350 8 core so that it doesn't overheat.  The aftermarket fan I currently have just isn't enough cooling.

If the reward goes too low for too long I just turn off the miner.  Someone just threw 40 MH/s at solo mining (I say that because the hash shows up on hash info but doesn't show on any pool on http://poolinfo.coinmagi.org/).  It is not profitable to buy electricity to make 40 MH/s, so that person likely either has free electricity or has some type of miner that is more energy efficient that they are keeping a secret.

Why is this coin special? Its a normal altcoin

Good question! Many things. Read the OP and you find the information about the unique blockreward system, First POS-II, MQW and much more. Any specific questions? You are welcome to ask.

Agree, really unique coin, very fair, with great community and dev team! Read the OP.
Good job guys!!!

[111magic]

Thanks sid7039 for the nice words.

Magi team, dev and community will continue with the great work!

The awesome Magi mining guide for newbies posted here.

That’s great! This would definitely help newbies get into Magi mining and will result in stronger adoption. I remember my first time mining a crypto coin. I didn’t even knew how to set up the miner nor the mining pool. Those were my first steps but eventually I improved my knowledge by joining this community and became a skilled miner. Good job!

Thats right.
The guide is also made in Greek language and will be ready into Spanish soon!

As you all know Magi android app is in progress.
Magi needs a original Magi picture 1024px by 500px for the app.
Maybe somebody can help with that!

What are you looking for ? Do you want a new version of the Magi logo or an totally new picture like goldlabel frequently do ? In the first case I can help, in the second I can't help at all. If you need a totally new picture, ask to goldlabel, he's the pro  !

New version of the Magi logo with the specifications above should do it!

Ok, so maybe I can help you with that. I'll see what I wan do just right now. But also, can you help me ? On the SweetSpot miner, I have to manually enter the stratum and port information of SuchPool. Tell me, is it possible to modify a file somewhere to add it to the list, so I do not have to re-write it when I switch pool ?

[goldlabel]

Or this one, its abit better

Thank you so much ! This is a big help you gave to me   !

Also, this is my image :



Is it what you were looking for ? If you like it, I can add several other words. It is late and I'm tired. I can't search others myself today. Adding colours to the words could be cool.

So if I use this..

"hashrate (kh/s)" : 80.00000000,
    "difficulty" : 1.66700583,
    "difficulty(aver)" : 2.12233496,
    "blockvalue" : 1.61871981,
    "mining (XMG)" : {
        "1 hour" : 0.05114349,
        "1 day" : 1.22744382,
        "1 week" : 8.59210671
..............................

8.59 x 4 = 34.36 XMG...

350 watts running the miner..

here (Quebec canada) according to the kw/h price.. it cost me 18.59CND/month

another calcul..

314CND/BTC
18.59 / 314 = 0.05920382 BTC
current price to buy 0.00004975
0.05920382 / 0.00004975 = 1190.026532.. XMG
minus some fees.. equals to 1187.05146633 XMG!!


SO!.. with 18.59CND/month
mining = 34.36 XMG/month
Buying = 1187.05 XMG/month

I think I'm gonna stop mining and start buying...
anyone want to rent a server dual xeon 8 core 8GB RAM?? could be more profitable for me!!

The ROI in this case is pretty much unimpressive; based on your calculation, XMG price is better to be at 18.59CND / 34.36 =  0.41 USD/XMG, while the current price is far below that, most of miners should give up.   Well the actual situation won't be that straightforward: 1) the mining return is just estimate, you'll get different values at different time; what's need might be put your rig in a pool and estimate how much mined in a day; the longer period the more accurate. I don't have fist-hand experience right now, but was mining in SuchPool with i5 4670, AMD 8350, a dual core and google cloud mining, with total hashrate of about 210 kh/s or so, and nearly 30 XMG in a day. But that's absolutely about few weeks ago. I am not able to fire up the miners right now, so can't tell how much I can get with these; 2) 350 watts running 80 kh/s absolutely no where efficient and should be stopped I believe. My i5 ran with 72 kh/s with far less power than your case. In contrast, the amd cpu runs much higher. I'll get data when back at home.

I just take a look on my transactions on pom m.. during september I made 5x 100xmg.. running about 230khs.. it far to be 1187xmg and I said 18$ for 80khs... so 230khs cost me a lot more then 18$...

I should recheck the consumption maybe its a lil bit less but as I remember it was 350

I checked my rig data, AMD FX 8350 consumes 140W for 55kh/s (8350 ran with 80kh/s or so before, but is low high now after I moved it to another motherboard; the power consumption is surprise to me); i5 4670 is 60W at ~75Kh/s. The total power consumption (miner + power on the machine):

AMD: 210 W - 55kh/s
i5: 125W - 70kh/s

I guess some people optimizing the miner may have better results. I just fired them up at that time to support SuchPool, with about 210kh/s (AMD, i5, google cloud (free, about 60kh/s or so), due core (with 1 thread)) and total power about 400W (AMD is a monster in this case). I am thinking of getting some i5.

Two questions come to me : how do you know the consumption of your CPUs ? And what is this free Google Cloud ? It can be pretty interesting since it's could mine like my CPUs but 24 hours a day and freely  !
