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

[Spexx]

Having been offline for a time, I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread. Two things to reply to posts on the (current) last page are that:-

1) I will be writing a comprehensive guide for XMG mining on Windows.

2) I will be releasing a new XMG mining suite for Windows in due course and this will include the option to run the miner windowless (along with a desktop icon to stop the windowless miner, which might otherwise be a bit of a problem).

I have just put together a new mining rig. We are talking AMD 9590. The speed of this CPU is staggering. The heat from this CPU is staggering. I have already overclocked it to just over 5200 MHz which gives 122 Kh/s with the XMG miner under Windows 8.1 but I can't maintain a safe core temperature at this speed even with a massive water cooler and fans running max rpm. Anybody got any liquid Nitrogen that I can play with?

This new rig has been named "Wolf" in honor. Thanks man.

It appears the Magi XMG coin is being popular these days:  http://cryptomining-blog.com/4459-are-you-looking-for-a-cpu-crypto-coin-try-coin-magi-xmg/

The article is very nice. Thanks.

On this now

Since we mentioned complex, this seems to be one of the issues that XMG is facing and one of the main problems that are hurting the coin – there is so much information and things happening about the coin all of the time that it is hard to keep a track on all things for a lot of users.

We have to work on this.
There are rewards available for people who can help with making some good guides like easy mining-guides.

Of course, will get the magipay launched first. As I said, there is extra bounties for mining guide video, let's keep the reward for this purpose, while this is not big concern though, I believe people know how to mine by reading the mining section in OP.

Many people cant wait seing the MagiPay in action , we will see XMG exploding very soon..

Remember we also have a nice video contest.

If you sent in a video which satisfies the conditions (read contest text) you will receive 100 XMG.
For clarity, the video must meet the conditions and needs to be taken seriously in order to make a beautiful video for Magi (XMG)
If this is not the case you will not receive the 100 XMG.
This reward will be paid once per person.

Remember to sent in your Magi video and receive 100 XMG. And have a chance to win the 2000 XMG!

Think you are good with making video's.
Show us what you can do!

2000 XMG for best video.
1500 XMG for second best video.
750 XMG for third best video.

Bonus for the best video + 1000 XMG !!!
So now the reward for Best video is 3000 XMG!!

Thanks for that!

I was thinking... about that "wasted pow" power and using hashing for useful purposes.

By using GMP, XMG is possibly positioning itself to be a promoter for performance research which would translate to real world uses. Leaving aside I have been told big number crunching is already possible in Cuda (unclear if also on GPU), how would you react on knowing your fav coin is promoting development of hi-precision libraries?

I am interested to this, while stumbled into good idea to deploy.

What exactly are the performance research you mentioned, and hi-precision libraries?

[Johnson_Hoo]

I think you're in the wrong thread.
XMG had a very good launch

[111magic]

lol I think he meant it well.
But you also because Magi indeed had a good launch!

The end date is the end of 2015 right?

[111magic]

No amigo! When it's time to vote for best video than no other video's can join the contest!
But i will make a post for that later after we receive some more video's!

Just spent several hours to set up a new pool with 1% fee and PROP payout.
Please register at http://104.207.149.217/index.php?page=register

Test script:
./minerd  -a m7mhash -o stratum+tcp://104.207.149.217:3333 -u test.test -p x

See "Help -- Getting Started" for details. Please transfer some hash power to the pool. Also, please note I will disconnect the old free pool in one/two days. Thanks.

Big thanks for Joe's support!

Update: Add a domain for the pool for easy access:   xmgpool.cf

I am interested to this, while stumbled into good idea to deploy.

What exactly are the performance research you mentioned, and hi-precision libraries?

If we look for at how "hash" is computed, we can see many functions mpf_something. Those come from the high-precision library GMP.

Hi-precision is critical to many applications in scientific computing. Google leads to several documents about this. I cannot quite tell if those can work as a drop-in replacement for GMP but it's quite obvious there's a lot of research going into some GMP-like GPU-accelerated processing (mostly cuda, as standard in high performance computing).

So we can say that Magi, by leaving the realm of pure cryptography, is fostering competition in something that has real world value.

[crazyivan]

Is there any kind of profit calculator around to check profitability of CPU mining?

Interesting stuff. There is one drop-in replacement available for GMP to my certain knowledge. This is MPIR and you can bet your life that I have had a good play around with it. I have several versions of minerd.exe compiled with this library and I can tell you that the best of these runs at only 60% of the speed of the minerd.exe compiled with (my customized version of) GMP. After all the effort required to get MPIR compiled and installed, it was a terrible disappointment.

As for a CUDA miner for XMG, well I suspect (no proof whatsoever) that there has been one around for ages now but nobody has published it openly. It must surely be possible, though not necessarily easy.

I have updated the list of mining pools used by my XMG mining software package. If you are already using this software, run C:\XMGminer\Setup.bat and select "Download latest list of XMG Magi mining pools" from the drop-down menu. This will do exactly what it says on the tin. After the download has completed, select "Proceed with setup" from the drop-down menu to enter the required details to get up and running. Remember to register on XMGpool and set up your worker(s) first !!!

See you there

Well, I can sustain your suspect as one of my contacts (who I know works in a company which pays its employees to get multiple degrees) claimed to be able to port everything in "a few days" but also that "our usual contracts are just way more profitable" so hopefully its impact is small.

I have no doubt that someone knowledgeable could do just that. I would be fascinated, from a purely technical point of view you understand , how such a CUDA miner would actually perform. My experiments with compiling the XMG miner included having a go at making something that might just run on a 386/486 similar to the type of (multiple) processor you get on GPU cards and Co-Processor cards. It worked. I described it once on IRC as "runs like a sloth on dope" but if you had hundreds of them it could add up.

Having been offline for a time, I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread. Two things to reply to posts on the (current) last page are that:-

1) I will be writing a comprehensive guide for XMG mining on Windows.

2) I will be releasing a new XMG mining suite for Windows in due course and this will include the option to run the miner windowless (along with a desktop icon to stop the windowless miner, which might otherwise be a bit of a problem).

I have just put together a new mining rig. We are talking AMD 9590. The speed of this CPU is staggering. The heat from this CPU is staggering. I have already overclocked it to just over 5200 MHz which gives 122 Kh/s with the XMG miner under Windows 8.1 but I can't maintain a safe core temperature at this speed even with a massive water cooler and fans running max rpm. Anybody got any liquid Nitrogen that I can play with?

This new rig has been named "Wolf" in honor. Thanks man.

hi spexx  

you dont need nitro you can try this fans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThsuBvPkGcc, and bench on north pole   great performance though.

i overclocked 8320 at 5014/1.58vcore hot as hell on water and one same core always failing after hour of prime blended.

can you send me your hash non overclocked 9590 when you have time.

cheers

I have already considered taking Wolf to work, where we have a dry/chilled room at 3 to 4 degrees C

The Pub just down the road has a nice cold cellar too

I thought about posting a pic of Wolf, but there is nothing to see. It is black. The case is black. The bezel on the DVD/RW is black. The mobo is mostly black. The cooler is black. The graphics card is black. The RAM is black. The PSU is black. All the cables are black. The fans are black. Even the bloody case screws are black. The only things not black are the LEDs. I could install some black-light LEDs instead I had to use a torch for most of the time that I was assembling it and I am not joking either. I could post up a pic of the torch.

Right now I have a problem. The mobo (ASUS Sabretooth 990FX R2.0) has a faulty network interface. I got this mobo cheap in an Amazon Warehouse Deal but it was supposed to be perfect. Only the software CD was missing - not a problem since it can be downloaded. I complained and got a refund of twenty quid - about 20 percent off what I paid. Cool. A network card will cost me six and a half quid delivered and I can use up the one PCI slot which would otherwise go unused forever. This does mean that I have to wait a few days for the card to arrive before unleashing this beast on the mining pools.

I will run a benchmark on stock 4700 MHz (w/o turbo boost) and another on 5000 MHz (equivalent to turbo boost) for comparison. It will run at 5000 all day in a warmish room.
