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

[overttherainbow]

Is there a HF due for XMG shortly do you guys know?

The roadmap is very vague

Magi lowest volume on bittrex.

Volume is still pretty low - I wonder what we can do to get some interest back

I think redoing some of wording in the readmes and FAQs could help. A lot of the information I found was written towards the more technical individual and even I had some issues figuring it all out. Bitcoin has become this insanely technical behemoth that is all but inapproachable to average people, at least from the mining aspect of it. Maybe making Magi a bit more "least common denominator" friendly we could bring some more people on board, if not in mining, at least general interest from people looking to diversify their altcoin portfolios.

I don't really have any power to do any of this, and I am still a newbie, but it is just a thought.

Newbie here too...

Their is a few things that could use a bit of "idiot's guide to..." Like how to stake. The info is here in bits and bobs, but don't think their is a single location with a "How to Stake (and keep staking)" step by step guide.
Did talk through someone on a Facebook forum on how to set up staking (After working it out for myself!)...

I just started mining Magi (well mining in general) last month, and it's a bit of a trudge going through the forums and older posts to get info.

Is their a community wiki or something like that people can add useful information to that's easily searchable? That might be a good start if it does not exist at present.

Not yet! I need to get a good supply first, lol. Im barely to 100XMG

I was noticing on Bittrex right now that some heavy hitters are throwing XMG around, Im seeing bids and asks for 15000-32000XMG

Thanks for the suggestions guys - It may be possible to get some sticky FAQ's on the subreddit once we have some people with moderator status on the forum - I'll ask Joe today

Lets see if we can make magi the most newbie friendly coin out there =D

111magic, do you have a reddit account?

I'm pretty bad on there too, but starting to get the hang of things - I'm just thinking to ask Joe to make you a moderator/admin on there too if you are intersted. Its up from 60 to 127 users in about 2-3 weeks.

Ok. But if you are starting to get the hang of things there you would a much better admin/moderator! 😉

I already asked Joe to make me a mod - but always think its good to get a few more people involved - don't want to be a single point of failure =)

Error loading block database.

On Windows 7 64bit.

Never ever was it this way. Tried a lot many times, but just couldn't manage to launch the Magi Client. Possible errors?

Might be antivirus blocks it. I also use windows 64 without issue

I never AntiVirus.
Also, it was perfect until the penultimate restart and since then it has never loader the Magi Client. Just aborts in the middle of 'Loading Block Index...' Activity.

Can anyone help?

I don't have the latest backup as well.
I think, I might have to REDOWNLOAD the block data all over again, just worried as I don't have the latest back up.

Hmm are all items still in the folder were you add Magi?
And also in Magi  %appdata% folder?
Maybe you only need a new wallet.exe file
Do you use winzip or winrar? If yes check there and only use the .exe file

Yes. None of the stuff was ever moved during/before/after the operation, at all. It is where it was already.
The %appdata% folder is not my default Magi Data Folder.
I used the WinRar extraction protocol to UnRar all the Wallet Stuff, the last time 1.4.4.1 was released.

Can you find the wallet.exe still in winrar? If yes only add that file on your computer. And launch the wallet with that one. It might help. Don't remove anything without backup!

I will do as you say, once I reach home.
Thank You for the guidance.

I tried redownloading the 1.4.4.1 for Windows. Copied and Pasted the exe at that same folder where the shortcut targets to, already. No help.

Thats strange. Are you sure no antivirus programm is blocking the .exe file?

I was noticing on Bittrex right now that some heavy hitters are throwing XMG around, Im seeing bids and asks for 15000-32000XMG

Eh I almost have 13 coins myself, haven't tried that hard.
my one setup shows that I could get about 28ish coins a day but that could be wrong.

Here is the debug log of my last attempt few minutes ago to launch the latest m wallet.

Looks like there is a Read Error, but I don't know why. I can easily access the folders and files via command line, as well as, Windows Explorer. Nor it is a hidden path (just in case, if hidden path is a problem).
I have also tried copying a new fresh 1.4.4.1 and launching the exe, but it just fails.

Please help me out, I am missing out on staking (though a tiny bit).

[jbkel3496]

  I have been trying to stake for a few days now with no luck. I have sent coins back and forth to myself a few times. Yes some of my coins are old but I have sent over 200 back and forth. Please help?

Do you have PoS set to active in the conf file?

I wish there was a way to buy XMG directly from other XMG miners/supporters and cut out all the middle men/bittrex/etc. If only for the time being, which would help make it more profitable for buyers. Right now, 4-4.50 of each 20.00 investment goes to Bittrex/Coinbase in fees.

Hello, do we have official social media hashtags to use in promotion?

Right off hand, I am not sure. There might be existing services that might work if users somehow standardized the method. I know with online retailers like eBay, you need to be selling a physical item before it is allowed. So you could sell some thing with how ever much XMG attached, but that doesn't protect you from scammers. Im not sure what would be the best way to have ease of use, cutting out the middle man, and providing buyer/seller security. Most existing product selling sites would work, but they don't have that built in protection, plus many don't even allow crypto in the first place. Basically, you need a site like coinbase where the purchase goes directly to the owner of the coins, not the exchange. I just don't think XMG has the following to make something like that effective, plus if the people doing the matching of buyer to seller, without a fee, how do they keep everything running ... it's all problematic.

Too bad there wasn't some online escrow service people could use, then just a forum like this where buyers and sellers posted their needs would be all that is needed. Then when a deal is made, the buyer sends to escrow USD, and the seller sends XMG. Once XMG is received, the buyer releases the money to the seller. Im sure there are tons of ways to game that system as well, but maybe someone else can look at it and turn it into some feasible.
