playing around a bit with new wallet 1.3 i have to say great job!
this wallet alone justify a marketcap of 200k $ u deliver more than most coins in that area

and i did hear the plans for 1.4 and 1.5 are even more intense improvements

for me a high recommended position in each serious crypto investor portfolio

XMG magi

just the still to high POW coinrollout compared to POS is what slows the raise of this coin

it should be the opposite way around most new coins via POS and some via POW

I understand your concern, and that's mine too. Though I don't think the way we should take that straightforward, there are alternatives to get around.

Please do share any ideas/suggestions for anything else.

[joelao95]

What's the NEXT?

Without having concerns of utilizing my time and worries from some real pains, I would pursue the following plans.

Of course, the past talks should not be in vain. I need to pick up where I left.  

Some quick lookup brings up:

My vision on the future:

# v1.4 or v1.5:

The significantly important step towards this coin's life - making MAGI "m-" (mobile) mineable, or to get rid of big miners (I know some people hate what I said, or believe MAGI is doomed to fail in this line). Basically, a likely success could be achieved by going through all of the followings:

* A very sharp difficulty adjustment algorithm
* PoW algo (I am very skeptical now)
* Bridging the PoW and PoS: mining encouraging phase and aggressive mining phase (TBD).
* Revisiting PoS-II; I'd name the new PoS protocol as "mPoS" (no big change, sort of improvemets). How mPoS is advantageous over the other PoS mechanisms is to be determined.

I need significant amount of time to research the feasibility and implementation. Okay, I am originally a research guy, so I'd push out some writings that will make us clear of what we are doing, fine? in a reasonable way, good enough, anything else? things like that. Frankly, I am still picking up the block chain and in the process of get a real feeling of HOW people believe the block chain thing is something a huge invention. I got to be into it.

# v1.6: Merging on latest bitcoin code base.

# v1.7: Greatly improved GUI interface with MAGI's own features; e.g., the PoW & PoS mining in the same wallet

# v1.8: Standing on the solid implementation of monetary system and staking, I intend to pursue developing blockchain applications; something for reals, and get new techs into the coin or blockchain.

And we'd put into thoughts on what happens and approaches to be taken once PoW is done. Obviously, PoS is the one we have, need something else.

In any cases, right now these are just talk-talk ideas. You should not commit until you see they come to true.

Anyway. Let's see.

Updates (06/22/2016):

New wallet 1.3.0rc1 available:

Download link: http://coinmagi.org/bin/m-wallet-1.3.0rc1/
(I'll fulfill OSX compiling, TBD)

Source: https://github.com/magi-project/magi/tree/1.3.0rc

Block chain: http://coinmagi.org/bin/block-chain/

Release notes: http://coinmagi.org/bin/release-notes.md

Changelog:
# Changed database for storing transaction and block indices from Berkeley DB to LevelDB;
# Enabled block hash storing in storage and loaded directly from disk;
# Fixed "Checkpoint is too old" warning
# PoS stake splitting and combining features, which can be set by stakesplitthreshold=VALUE and stakecombinethreshold VALUE in magi.conf, or by RPC commands: setstakesplitthreshold and setstakecombinethreshold; RPC commands getstakesplitthreshold and getstakecombinethreshold to show their current values;
# Added price information on Qt Overviewpage;
# Qt wallet logo change and GUI improvements;
# Merge pull request of version check updates by feldenthorne; fixed automatic version check including test/rc versions.
# Merge pull request of adding total balance in "Transactions" page by lightsplasher;

Thanks to feldenthorne and lightsplasher for the contributions to the code base and sorry for the long-delayed merge. I am supposed to respond to the pull request significantly fast from now on. If anyone is able to make changes to source, please.

Note 1:
We are changing to leveldb for block index storing. For this purpose, we suggest use of the new wallet in limited occasions. This is the reason of the RC version, though I didn't see any issue in my own side. At this moment, I DON'T recommend using the wallet in your minings, pool server, or exchanges. In my estimate about two weeks long without having any issues coming up, we will roll out a stable release.  

Note 2:
Due to change to leveldb data, you have to get rid of the old version of block data before using the new client. To save the time, I have pulled out an up-to-date block chain which can be downloaded from here: http://coinmagi.org/bin/block-chain/

A concern of stake splitting & combing in original ppc design since it involves security concerns:
https://github.com/magi-project/magi/blob/1.3.0rc/src/wallet.cpp#L1595

Code:

                // The original design prevents stakes having the same parent transaction from combining
                // which somehow reads as encouraging splitting (improve security);
                // This mechanism is to be disabled in Magi since combining won't cause security concern 

                /* Splitting is only enforced at wallet, not by PoS protocol as well as consensus over network.
                 * Original PPCoin design encourages splitting as per "Lower coinstake combine threshold to
                 * improve security", which can be understood by the fact that in general PoS, with a large
                 * number of coins in stake comes greater chance of (PoS) mining blocks. This is not going to 
                 * happen in Magi. Also, hardening nStakeCombineThreshold is impractical since an advanced user 
                 * can easilly make a change to that and rebuild a wallet. The change to nStakeCombineThreshold 
                 * should be available externally, e.g., RPC command, magi.conf configuration file. 
                 ** Magi, for optimum staking, nStakeCombineThreshold should be used in combination with nStakeSplitThreshold.*/

You should use nStakeCombineThreshold along with nStakeSplitThreshold for best results. The optimum threshold is neither a random number nor as large as possible; it should be an appropriate value, say 500 XMG, according to MAGI's PoS protocol.  

Update procedure:
1) Backup wallet.dat to a safe place;
2) Delete everything under the Magi or .magi folder except wallet.dat;
3) Download block chain from here http://coinmagi.org/bin/block-chain/ and unzip the fille;
4) Unzip all of the stuffs under the folder m-blockchain into Magi or .magi;
5) Start up the new wallet.

At the last minute when I compiled the wallet in windows, the price info on the new wallet in Windows seems not working, though it all worked out in my linux machine; we'll fix it in the final version.

I guess this is it.

I'll talk more most likely tomorrow night.

Great to see a brand new release of the RC version of the Magi wallet! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before we could get our hands in a stable version of the wallet. In the meantime, I will test this on my Debian VPS and see if everything works fine. It would be pretty amazing to see the speed increase (which I think it has been implemented in the new release) as it will be a great way to get quick access to the GUI of the wallet. Can't wait for more new and exciting stuff like these! Proof of Interest IV here we come.

great stuff joe
i see u are high motivated

i might be willing power one of the future poi promotion campaigns
if the results of ur work is great as ur plans let me expect  to be

It's kinda heavy to handle. PoI inspired me of a charity channel in the coin.

Speeding was already implemented; took me about half minute to load up the wallet. Let me know after your testing.

I'll get daemons included at the stable release (didn't have enough time to get all things perfectly ready, bit rush); if I have enough time, I like to have some handy features such as block rewards, staking time/weight put under a mint menu too.

Hey I need a bit of help. I have been mining XMG for quite a bit of time and love it... however today that someone put twice 50 xmg in my account and then removed 100 xmg. I can see it from the blockchain but not via my wallet. Do I make sense? I only recently started with crypto and being a novice I am now worried someone may stole my coins? Is it safe to put my wallet address in here for anyone who knows more than me willing to have a look? I have been mining on xmg.maxminers.net

congrats u staked
check ur address in explorer
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/
u will see that transaction flagged as stake
and a little value how much free bonus coins this did create for u

tell us ur wallet address is save
its public anyway and visible in blockchain

[goldlabel]

Works like a charm,

Okay, so I assume it's nothing bad? What is stake? Yes after the transactions I am few fraction of coin higher.

You are right about the stake, I use this one and doesn't show it.

Sorry to be as pain but what is stake?

It really is indeed! The speed is really fast. I have got to the wallet in less than a minute on my Debian VPS. Before running the wallet, I have managed to install LXDE GUI into the VPS. After doing this, I got into the Magi client in no time and I have to say that I am very impressed with the interface, speed and new features. There is a price ticker built right into the wallet to keep track of XMG fiat value (USD) anytime.

Below, you can see the screenshots of the wallet running on Debian VPS:

[th3.r00t]

Hm... Strange thing. On Win64 the new wallet shows only zeros on price ticker...

[cryptonit]

Thanks for new wallet running great can you upload somewhere magi.conf or what I have write inside.

Please have a look at http://coinmagi.org/bin/example-conf/magi.conf, and these two lines:

Code:

# Transaction under stake with a value greater than the threshold is being splitted
stakesplitthreshold=500

# Transactions with values less than the threshold will combine into one
stakecombinethreshold=250

You can check whether settings are set properly by running commands from Console (on Qt wallet):

Code:

getstakesplitthreshold
getstakecombinethreshold

the default values are mixed up and the description is wrong

splittreshhold should be always lower than stakecombinetreshhold


if u have splittreshhold at 100 for example and merge treshhold at 1000

what will happen is coin pile split each stake if its above 100 size

and later on the below 100 size coin piles will merge together towards 1000 or higher

i tested ur wallet and it behave exact as i said

wont split coin pile below splittreshhold size

and merge below splittreshhold size together into a combinestreshholdsize pile
