[CPU miner and windows how-to]The latest version of cpuminer is here:https://github.com/magi-project/magi-minerdThe following guide is for compiling though cygwin in windows. testz did the standalone windows compilation before, I will ask him again for help. 1) Compile cpuminer in cygwin Download setup-x86_64.exe (or setup-x86_32.exe) from the first page of https://www.cygwin.com, and then install it; installation asks for installing packages, be sure following are checked: devel/git
devel/gcc-g++
devel/gcc-fortran
libs/libcurl-devel
devel/automake
devel/make
net/openssl-devel
math/libgmp-devel
editors/nano 2) Open up Cygwin64 Terminal, issue following commands git clone https://github.com/magi-project/magi-minerd
cd magi-minerd
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" ./configure
make 3) Mining The compiled minerd lies in C:\cygwin64\home\USER\magi-minerd; Cygwin is a unix environment, so you have run the miner through console. Under magi-minerd folder: Edit and save it; magi-minerd.sh is a file coming with the git source. Issue If you cannot run it, That's it! I'm running this on Mac OS, I get this with the ./configure: ./configure: line 5937: syntax error near unexpected token `,' ./configure: line 5937: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,' make: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. |

Dev, this thread has become extremely difficult to follow for those not savvy with this tech and all the tests everyone has been running.
Would really appreciate clear instructions on what to download and how to mine when this is ready to launch!
Looks like the launch is scheduled to go off in about 45 minutes, when will be the swap for our old coins? I think I heard it would not be for some time so I assume we just hold our separate wallet for the old MagiCoins we have until the swap day?
Thanks!
I will compile info and put at the top of the OP. We now postpone the swap, will give details after this launch. |

I'm running this on Mac OS, I get this with the ./configure:
./configure: line 5937: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 5937: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,'
make: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Srry, I have no idea of Mac at this time, maybe you can have virtualbox. And don't worry mining right now, block rewarding is very low at the beginning. |

make sure to mointor your CPU temperature with a prog like Core Temp 1.0
if you run max cores, cpu gets really hot very fast and that could lead to defects easily

what's the difference using the wallet to mine, or minerd.exe?
When i start the wallet with gen=1 cpu is used almost 100 %.
Why should i then use minerd.exe?
Do I need to set gen=0 when using minerd.exe?
Or is minerd.exe to use with a pool? (what i normally do!)
Thanks for all the answers.

Ok, Windows wallet and miner are working just fine on the testnet.
