The hash of the network is not that high ... from what the pool shows. He used to be like that. But the reward went straight down.
Although I understand the dependence of the hash network and the rewards that it is embedded in an algorithm

As a conclusion, I understand that what we see now is the consequences of the actions of strong miners?

Maybe joe tune up algo now?

Anyway reward now become bigger, and big hashers are ready to get it... ))

Does this mean we are still earning? even the dashboard doesn't update?

[edward0181]

You should ask Pool owner I guess. Email is on their site ;-)

You can better use this one : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/#
Look at : extracted_by.

I had the antivirus warning come up for the magi wallet, but windows defender being the crap program that it is shows absolutely no reference to the wallet.

but now its coming up with this app cant run on your PC as if the magi wallet is some 1000 year old app thats just not compatible?

Any work around that doesnt involved copying my wallet.dat to another machine and waiting 3 days for it to sync up again


*** EDIT *** found the fix myself

- added an exception to windows defender for m-wallet.exe
- deleted the 1.4.4.1 folder
- unzipped the folder back to the same spot

oddly enough defender doesnt remove it, just seems to block it so if you add the file exception, delete the file then put it back again your wallet works again

nearly 300 blocks since minerclaim has hit a block ??

well thats what the dashboard is showing

They had problems on backend - "We are investingating issues in the backend. Your shares and hashrate are safe and we will fix things ASAP. Findblocks disabled, new blocks will currently not show up in the frontend". Currently, mc stat similar with https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/extraction.dws?7.htm

when starting the magi wallet, it uses an online service to check your IP + nationality.
Trojans most likely use the same service and thus this part got added to anti-virus software as being "suspicious".
some anti-virus tools will not take anything else into consideration and will just block the whole thing.

Sadly this is really a trojan

i've tried multiple altcoins forked from similar bitcoin version and they dont express same behaviour in virustotal

did you use the magi wallet that is on the first post? i suggest you download the compiled one from there if you didn't.

edit:
i just checked the sha256 hash of the wallet i use, it's the same as yours. strange.

You mean you don't have that issue deztroyr1?
I don't receive a message from virusscanner.

AV cries about the IP check that is built in. apart of that it works fine. just now i checked for suspicious connections but all seems fine.
dunno what 62.210.131.147:6667 does. other coins connect to this ip as well.

i don't think there's a trojan. obfuscated code might be flipping out virustotal

Thanks for the fast reply. So its all ok. Good thing!

well I've checked a bit deeper now to see what 62.210.131.147:6667 does.
your magi wallet will actually connect to an IRC server and join channels.

Code:

Internet Relay Chat........
    .......    Trailer: End of /WHO list.

some anti-virus software detect an IRC bot. The above code proves that the magi wallet in fact contains an IRC bot. this does not mean that this is dangerous for you. but obviously your computer could be used for automated illegal activities.

someone better come up with a good reason for this IRC bot.

Antivirus definition updates from many a/v vendors today are flagging several wallets and miners as trojans or malware and all sorts of different names - technically this is correct and always has been because this code "can" be used maliciously but for those of us who have been doing this for a while, we call it a false flag detection.  

We (I) could be wrong and there could be some nasty code there that we've missed but as of now I don't see that happening.  Unfortunately, the bright bold warning from many a/v programs is enough to deter the majority of users and rightfully so.

The IRC code in many wallets does introduce vulnerabilities to the system and can be used maliciously, I believe this was a tool for discovering nodes, peers, and IP's - the problem with that is that it works both ways and you are no longer incognito because your IP is also discoverable.  It's more complicated than that but that is enough to be flagged right there.

Some coin devs have been making wallets without the IRC code in order to not get flagged by a/v software as being malicious, maybe Joe can create a separate wallet for us without that code?  I'm not a dev so I have no idea what is involved in this but I have seen other devs do this in a matter of a day or two and going forward I think this would be a smart move - security and safety first!

In the meantime, I'm using the wallet without issue but I do not allow it to run 24/7.

Thanks Virkol for this. It makes it clear now.

xmgpool brief Maintenance
Sep-28-2017 10:00 UTC           6:00 EDT

Should be a short maintenance. The pool will auto-start after the reboot. Just tested the auto-start script while the reward is almost zero now.

Also I just temporarily lower luckypool.ml fee to 0.5% till this weekend. Most of the users in xmgpool are copied to luckypool. You can use the same worker to connect to the luckypool. But you need to login to make sure everything is correct. That's one option for xmgpool user during the short maintenance.

Welcome to  luckypool.ml and enjoy 0.5% fee till this weekend!  

Brief maintenance is done like a charm. No interaction needed for my auto-start script. Thanks for the loyalty in xmgpool！

minerclaim is having issues

[seeksilence]

Both xmgpool and luckypool found some new block after maintenance. So everything works GOOD.

I did a few system tunings in both pools and luckypool is a NOMP pool.

I'll give them until Saturday, then move pools if its still not working - not earning much through mining these days

Magi price seems really stable these last few days =)

Seems odd. Their stratum mining blocks, but database is not accounting the blocks.
Hope they will resolve, they have quite some catching up to do.

Indeed, market stuck on 6200 - 6300 range... not really moving.
BTC price is quite high, perhaps people holding on until BTC price drops.

Iam waiting for a little drop!😉

The performance is better than other small pool. The reason is not just lucky. Server tuned for better performance.
Time to switch some of your hash power to the luckypool.ml .

Not really sure why you need to promote your pool ever page a few times?
Would get a mess on forum if all pools would do same, not?

Yes, but price looks very artificial for now.
