me too. I think this is a big start for the industry i'll support magi all the way

Thanks ... and thanks! A whole hour? Fantastic mate

Thank you so much. That package took weeks to put together and test and it should work first time. If it doesn't, I want to know why. Simply dismissing it the way you have helps nobody. What exactly were the problems you had with it? If you just download the package, unzip it and run automine.bat without any tinkering whatsoever, what happens? What exactly is the machine environment you are attempting to run it on? You need a minimum of Windows 7 SP1 to use the 64 bit minerd. Anything less than that and you must use the 32 bit minerd, or the miner built into the XMG wallet.

Incidentally, why would having to install yet another bit of software and going through the learning curve with it be of any benefit to a noob? I don't get it.

Spexx, well done, great job. I let my miner run an hour with your worker data.

Hey there, I worked on Simplicity-MYR and just switched my CPU miners to this coin (still GPU & ASIC mining MYR)

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in me writing it to work with this coin? It'd be a minor rewrite and make it much more noob friendly.

Granted I would need some other dev's to work with me but we could make it work here too.

The new 64bit miner that just came out is a giant clusterfuck and couldn't make it work. This would be much more simple. All you guys need is electrum or for the wallet to export the wallet address in plaintext somewhere as well as p2pool or a pool that is happy taking wallet addresses as the user name.

Believe me, I've tried It is really clunky and I have had no end of problems with it. I just can't seem to get a 64 bit version of mingw to play ball with me. I am even having trouble with the 32 bit version this time but will get there eventually. Please let me know when I can run up the testnet wallet again without interfering with anything you are doing at the moment. My new version of minerd for the new algo gives a hashrate around 31 percent of the hashrate obtainable with the current algo, but otherwise has much the same properties and still runs best if started with multiple instances as opposed to multiple threads. It is about 51 percent faster than the miner built into the wallet.

Hollowframe good to hear, thanks
Indeed, there are many developments in progress.
But in promotion and marketing, there are many things in progress.
If the XMG community has good ideas let's hear it here.
The more people thinking the better the ideas
Spexx you've done good business once again. 

I support this coin. so much development going on. this is by far maybe on my top 5 list of coins!

This is very nice, Spexx. I made a link in the OP. Another option of compiling on windows is using mingw if you'd like to try that out too.

p.s., writing & testing the difficulty adjustment algorithm, plan to release more info regarding mainnet hardfork tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Software release for 64-bit Windows

Finally here! This is the latest "generic" version of minerd.exe compiled with the latest version of the Cygwin compiler, plus a bunch of Windows batch files to help you get it running perfectly in double-quick time. Essentially, to get started with XMG on 64-bit Windows, you only have to download the wallet and this package, run my Setup.bat and it will do everything else for you. You do not have to edit any configuration files (e.g. magi.conf) or create any batch files. All you have to do is answer the questions about how you want it to run in your particular circumstances.

It has never been easier to get up and running with a cryptocoin on Windows!

When you have run the Setup.bat, starting the miner is simply a matter of running XMGminer.bat, which includes a miner monitor program, or running Myminer.bat which just starts the miner. If you want to test it before running Setup.bat just run automine.bat and it will connect to my accounts on the pools to show you what hashrate you can expect. Mining a bit of XMG on my behalf while you are testing is your "thank you" to me for creating this software for you - not too much to ask is it?

The Setup.bat supports solo mining with a wallet on the same computer, solo mining with a wallet on another computer, pool mining and twin pool mining. It supports single or multiple workers on the pool(s) and will spread the load across two pools. It also supports automatic failover in the event of a pool going offline. You can choose to have the output from each miner process displayed in its own window, or have a single window for the output from all miner processes. The only proviso is that your login name must be the same on both pools and the worker name(s) must also be the same and have the same password throughout. Multiple workers must have the same name but numbered consecutively e.g. Worker0, Worker1, Worker2 etc, (which is exactly how I have my pool accounts configured) - one worker for each CPU core on your computer. The batch files act as a "wrapper" for the minerd.exe to start multiple instances of minerd.exe, rather than starting a single instance of minerd.exe with multiple threads. This is the most efficient way of doing things. The software supports up to 32 CPU cores on a single computer.

Note: This minerd.exe is for the current live m7m algorithm, not the new algorithm which will come into effect shortly (currently on testnet). There will be a similar release with an updated minerd.exe to support the new algorithm available on the same links nearer the time of the live changeover.

The .rar package is on the same link as found in the OP:-

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hiadf8o5u7bsit7/XMGpoolminerWin64.rar?dl=0

I have also created a Windows self-extracting .exe (default target folder is C:/XMGminer):-

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dw7yjssjrrqp0m1/XMGpoolminerWin64.exe?dl=0

There is a read.me file included in the package with a little more information. Please report your experiences with this software, good, bad or indifferent. Any problems, just post here and I will try my best to help you out.

Happy hashing

UPDATE

Latest minerd now included in the package. Please see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9395268. This new minerd was compiled with a build of MSYS/Mingw64 which was put together especially for the task of compiling this one program. I am very pleased with the results. If you can compile a Windows 64 bit minerd.exe for XMG which will:-

A) run on any CPU that supports 64 bit Windows and
B) works perfectly with multiple threads and
C) works perfectly with the wallet and
D) works perfectly with stratum pools Suprnova and Noncepool and
E) gives a consistently higher hashrate than this one then

I will:-

A) eat my hat and
B) pay a bounty of at least 100 XMG to you. More if you can make me very impressed indeed.

This will be won by the first person to do so, provided that the software is made available to the community openly and for free with no license restrictions whatsoever. To qualify, the software must be complied from the source at https://github.com/noncepool/m7magi-cpuminer-v2.

This offer will stand open for as long as the current XMG hashing algorithm (v2) remains live.

If the source code is updated at any time from now, then I reserve the right to demand that you will have to compete against a newer minerd compiled by me with the same compiler as my current minerd. I think that is a fair point.

All decisions will be made by me and will be final, but fair.

Now there is a challenge for you. Go ahead. Make my day.

Happy Hashing

Updated the OP.

Thanks for the article.

Dev please change above
Old thread is not working anymore

Anyone running testnet wallet, please stop it for now; I need to test out the difficulty adjustment in testnet. Thx.

As I had promised.

Wow that was fast. Well done.
If it continues, we will soon have to make a separate thread for the news articles of the Magi.
 
Welcome in the Magi community Hermann1337

Awesome. Do you have a test pool that I can run it on?

You should be able to get about 37 Kh/s with this CPU. Try starting 4 instances of minerd.exe with a single thread - this is more efficient than starting a single instance of minerd.exe with multiple threads. I have something for Windows that does this for you. I might have released it yesterday if I had not been interrupted by a time vampire (!).
