I think in his heart he wants to be with xmg, but he needs to tell his brain to switch to xmg

Hi, guys,

I have a very simple feature proposal for the wallet: a version checker.

I've played around with the code for a few days, mostly because I had no idea who Qt worked, and hacked this together (screenshots below). Does anyone else think this sort of feature would be beneficial to the community? I'll clean it up and submit a pull request if Magic or Joe asks, or if there's enough of a positive response from the community.

(For anyone interested, I just added a timer that runs once a day to check a remote file for an update string, then compare that with the internal version in version.h. Plus a QLabel to show the update message. If there's a new update, it tells you what the updated version number is and produces a clickable link to http://coinmagi.org/wallets/.)

If your version is current, you see no change to the interface:


If your wallet is out-of-date, you see a new label and a clickable link:

Good, very nice feature, I'd like to have it in the new wallet release

Nice feature but if I understand correctly, you are checking a version number or something like that on the source code, then directing the user to a web page that may not have the very latest compiled versions available at that time. That would be a problem and might lead to confusion.

It's really great ! I think it's something we should add.

I agree that this would be totally useless if the wallet maintainers were relying on me to update the file on my server when they update the wallets, but I am proposing that they keep a file (version.txt, for example), on the coinmagi.org site somewhere and update it after they have uploaded the new binaries.

All that they need to do is change the string in the source file from the one that points to my server to whatever address they host the version information at on coinmagi.org.

(In other words, my code is a proof-of-concept and it will work for referring people to new versions. I just had to make up a new version number to test with and point to my own server to test it.)

Does that make my intention a little more clear?

Yes I like the idea. But think Joe has to adjust or add something and I don't know if hè has the time for it because of his important trip to the other side of the USA.

Yes, Joe would have to review the code, add it, and rebuild all the wallets for it to be useful. This improvement would just be something to slip into the next overall wallet upgrade, rather than fretting about it now.

I understand that Joe is dealing with whatever personal issues came up for him recently. I'll wait to hear back from him after his business is settled before moving forward with the pull request.

Thank you for that feldenthorne!

Still debating whether or not VPS mining XMG would pay off ..... 5$ / month for a single core...but then again I've only made 3 XMG over the past day running between 2-3 cores off my i5-4670k....

Anyone have recommendations?

Are you in the proof of mining?
Think that might be a good option.

Yes, I'm in the m-hash pool now...but as I don't even know the value of 1XMG, I'm not really sure if it's worth purchasing a VPS to mine with...

I'm still quite new if you couldn't tell

I think it might be good to mine in that one! The Proof of Mining campaign will reward you with some extra XMG.

Does it matter what OS i use on the VPS?  I chose ubuntu 14.04 x64; I'm following this guide:

How much longer until substantially less coins are produced each day?

How much longer until substantially less coins are produced each day?

I think that 25 million is the total supply, see Magi Specs  We are at around 2.24 million now after 2/3 of a year, so it will be a while before we reach this limit.  I'm not exactly sure what happens at the 25 million supply limit; my guess is that the PoW phase is over and the coin continues under PoS only; that is as best as I can remember from postings.

Of course a large miner or two or more can come back on and this would cause the block rewards to drop back down again, however, I don't think that is what you are meaning. 

[Spexx]

How much longer until substantially less coins are produced each day?

The actual amount produced every day is variable and depends very much on the total hashrate. The maximum block reward now is 50, but in ten years time or so it will have reduced to 24, then 0.0001 XMG per block after that at block 5000001.

You can explore this behavior in detail on this excellent web page.
