Ok, so it would appear I didn't have AUTOMAKE installed. I installed it, ran the same command and stuff seems to be working.  

Clearly there's another step as I can't seem to be able to "run" minerd? I assume that I've now configured and/or created the relevant files for the software to work on my platform, however it now needs to be "installed" or similar.

Again, any assistance would be appreciated.

A little bit OT, but: Question about pool softwares.

Maybe this is a little silly, but I just had a look at the 'transactions' tab at LuckyPool (a MPOS pool.) There are lots of individual transactions. Credit, Fee, Donation for each found block. This is just silly! Why would anyone write a pooling program with so many transaction? Why would a pooling program not simply log in the DB the credit for found block and then deal with fees+donations when the miner pulls their rewards from the pool hot-wallet? Seems like a lot of overhead in terms of network transactions (wow!) and processing power. Do all pool softwares behave like this, or just MPOS?

make sure you are in the directory where you compiled the software. './m-minerd --help' or './m-minerd --benchmark'

Basically, './m-minerd <list_of_arguments>'

alternatively you could 'sudo make install' and that will move the binary to /usr/bin/m-minerd and it will always be available just by 'm-minerd' so you don't need to enter any path statements when you run it.

Thanks for the prompt response. I believe that I am attempting to run the software from the correct location. However I suspect I have the syntax incorrect:

Any other instructions needed for the 'sudo make install' instructions? Do I just use this from within the same file structure?

I'd recon early tomorrow AM...
but, who knows ;-) It's a magical magicoin

Almost there!!... 1606895

[starcrys]

Erm...Can anyone help me on enabling staking? I've put "staking=1" and "posii=1" (with out the " ") in the magi.conf but the wallet still shows not staking (only those 2 commands were input)... Can someone help me on where I've gone wrong? Thanks.

Have you specifically unlocked your wallet for staking?

magid walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD 9999999 true

[webby619]

Two quick questions

Does the m-block-chain.zip need to be downloaded and unzipped in some Magi folder for the wallet to work properly? And what folder should that be placed in on Windows?

I've earned some mining and it has yet to show up in my wallet.

[buckonz]

Anyone else using BULL MINING as their pool?

I have finally got my Odroid up and running and it appears to be trucking along ok for the the little ARM processor that it has.

However all of a sudden, it will drop out with things like this:

[2018-01-06 15:25:48] Stratum connection failed: Connection timed out after 30000 milliseconds
[2018-01-06 15:25:48] ...retry after 30 seconds
[2018-01-06 15:26:48] Stratum connection failed: Connection timed out after 30001 milliseconds

and

[2018-01-06 15:36:19] Stratum connection timed out
[2018-01-06 15:36:19] Stratum connection interrupted

Is this normal and just par of the course?

[orcan1ce]

Is there anything we need to do after the hardfork?

Yup, I have unlocked the wallet through the client by inputting the passphase. The command "magid walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD 9999999 true" doesn't seem to be working when I put it in the conf file. It's still showing up as not staking. Do I have to input all the other stuff like rpcuser, rpcpassword, rpcport, server, listen, rpcallowip, addnode?

[Foo_Plinger]

Did you check the magi.conf at %appdata%\magi

What I provided was a command line, not a configuration option.  I'm running the Magi Daemon.

Before I ran this command, using 'magid getinfo'...

"paytxfee" : 0.00010000,
"unlocked_until" : 0,
"errors" : ""

...and after running the command:

"paytxfee" : 0.00010000,
"unlocked_until" : 1525207002,
"errors" : ""

Update your wallet, and make sure your miner(s) are configured properly. Otherwise, you're good to go!

You can use it from there. but you might need to use the full path if you are going to use it in scripts:
~/m-cpuminer-v2/m-minerd <arguments>

I ended up using the 'sudo make install' so now I can essentially run it from anywhere. I managed to get it going. However as I mentioned in a recent post, it struggles to maintain a connection to the BULL MINING pool.

That's either your network connection (not the miner), the pool, or some router in the middle. Try a different pool to see if you get the same results.

Have you specifically unlocked your wallet for staking?

magid walletpassphrase YOUR_PASSWORD 9999999 true

Is this a necessary step beyond getting the icon lit up in the Wallet GUI?

If you have the little miner tools lit up, you're minting. If you're in gui and the tools are not lit up, you can use the Mint menu. Else that cli command, above, will work.

We are there, getting rejected blocks still though....
