U guys have slack.

I've searched and found the following link setup by lionheart78  

https://coinmagi.slack.com/

Not sure how to join - is it invite only?

Yes, this is the slack for magi. I'll get it into the OP.

111magic, I guess you're the manager, would we need invitation to join? Any guide will be great.

I don't know exactly how Slack is working.
I made you owner also Joe so think you can also work in Slack.
If somebody would like to join Slack send me a pm with your email-address in it so i or Joe can send you a invitation.
If somebody is very good with Slack i can make him admin also.


Thanks Redrover for the good help in the posts above!

So why do we need another media and if so why Slack?

Don't know. Thought we could use the chatbox on thefruitsclan also!   very friendly to use and nice ppl

I'm quite new to this coin, so my opinion is likely to be people of outside.

To promote this coin, there are required some roadmap including infographs and whitepaper.

I see potential of this coin, its pearl in the mud.

FreeBSD: http://coinmagi.org/bin/m-wallet-1.3.1/m-wallet-1.3.1-freebsd.tar.gz

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

Multiple Platforms:

* Starting from v1.3.1, we provide official support of building packages for FreeBSD; both Qt wallet and daemon are available. Supports to other platforms may also occur in future release;
* Struggled with a working Qt wallet for Windows XP (daemon works); this effort is yet to be done. Since Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, I'm considering to drop off the compilation; please let me if one does need a Qt wallet for Windows XP.

Changelog:

v1.3.1
=============
This is a major release designed to improve the overall performance of the wallet. Upgrading to this version is strongly recommended. All parties upgrading from versions prior to v1.3.0 should resynchronize the complete block chain from the beginning.

A copy of block chain available: http://coinmagi.org/bin/block-chain/

- Support of building Qt wallet and daemon on FreeBSD;
- Added "Mint" menu on the Qt wallet;
- Added "About" menu on the Qt wallet;
- Fixed price update for all of OS including Windows;
- Corrected the total amount on the transaction page;
- Overall improvement of the Qt wallet appearance;
- Removed pre-release message from the status bar;
- Redesigned the icon set; new logo available here: http://coinmagi.org/files/logo/v1; previous version: http://coinmagi.org/files/logo/v2;

(January 29, 2017)

This release also contains the prior changes associated with v1.3.0rc1 which wasn't made publicly.

v1.3.0rc1
=============
- 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 adding total balance in "Transactions" page by lightsplasher;
- Merge pull request of version check updates by feldenthorne; fixed automatic version check including test/rc versions.

(June 22, 2016)

Notes:

* Since v1.3.1 migrates to leveldb for block index storing, for upgrading from a version before v1.3 should reset the local block-chain;
* For users on Windows, we provide a convenient way to use an installer for upgrading wallet and migrating to the latest block chain; this is strongly recommended;
* Additional note to the stake splitting & combing for information; 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.*/

nStakeCombineThreshold along with nStakeSplitThreshold should be utilized for best results. The optimum threshold is neither a random number nor as large as possible; it's in accordance with the magi's PoS (mPoS) protocol.  

Upgrading procedure:

- In general:
1) Backup wallet.dat;
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 file;
4) Put all of the contents under the folder m-blockchain into Magi or .magi;
5) Launch the new wallet.

- Windows:  
1) Backup wallet.dat;
2) Launch the installer;
3) Choose the option you want to migrate the block-chain; the installer will always move the original Magi folder to something like Magi-BACKUP-*;
4) Follow on-screen prompts to install.

(One can also use the installer to update/switch block-chain data. We will update the block-chain from time to time)

If you run into issues with the binaries / installer, let me know ASAP. I'll try to solve the issues in a timely manner.

Finally, please help to spread the words. We need have all of the services, mining pools and exchanges to switch to v1.3.1. Also, I recommend updating logo to v2 (http://coinmagi.org/files/logo/v2).

Nice to see again an altcoin which is actually worth again the effort of mining. Keep going the good work

@starmman, we can talk about roadmap now; in what form you'd do a roadmap?

Nice updated, waiting for next jump

Rooooooaaad Maaaaaap!!!

Rooooooaaad Maaaaaap!!!

Looks like its coming amigo.
Joe Thanks for the great wallet release. Well done!!

@starmman, we can talk about roadmap now; in what form you'd do a roadmap?

Hi Joe,

Great stuff

I think best thing to do is get a few bullet points about the next plans for the coin push them into a visualisation and push them into an OP.
Then we could also to show where we have come from to show that we are not at the start of the development
After that we could elaborate on the bullet points a little more
 
Do you agree that this is a good approach?

Think a roadmap is great for fundamental analysis and should give investors some reasons to (or not to - if they disagree with the roadmap) invest in the coins .

I'll drop my details across to 111magic for slack - think its an easier platform to communicate in real time.

I've got a bit of a full-on weekend coming (both my and my wife's birthday) up so might take a few days before I can dedicate some serious time,

Rooooooaaad Maaaaaap!!!

The road map, a good way to predict market movement. But it also creates certain obligations for developers, because we know that people do not like to wait.

Hello, do someone knows where to find magi coin calculator? i try to find one but cant find any, but if someone can tell me how much profit for 250 kH that will be enough for me, either way thanks for your help guys

[Redrover]

Thanks for the new wallet Joe, looks great and seems to be running quicker than the old version.

Hello, do someone knows where to find magi coin calculator? i try to find one but cant find any, but if someone can tell me how much profit for 250 kH that will be enough for me, either way thanks for your help guys

open up your wallet, then go to help and open the debug window. After that, go to console and put it getminingbykhps <your hashrate here> so in your case getminingbykhps 250
You'll have to take the number it gives you and the current market price and figure from there.
Lets say the console shows you earn 15 magi a day, you would do this math 15*.00003150*977.952 (total coins)*(price XMG-BTC)*(price BTC-USD), so in that example you would make about 46 cents a day.
I hope that all makes sense!

Oops, fixed now; pls try the setup, let me know if it works.

I rebuilt the source using the master branch on git.  The wallet looks pretty cool so far - nice job!  It seems to be using Berkeley DB again for me as reported on the about page:

Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April  9, 2010)

Network connections are a 50 and the wallet is synching the block chain again after running previously with v1.3.0rc1.  I'm just wondering if I should be doing something different to build so that the LevelDB is used again, or if this okay?

Great stuff, its always exciting to see a new wallet version =) - Not sure how I missed that post this morning! The forum is very active again these days... I'll install the new version when I get back to my wallet.
