btw Spexx, how about affinity when there is 4 cores but 8 threads? How to assign?
Also how you find this 0x7 0xb.. etc.. I am using bin to hex converter to determine that but i am not getting those..
For example what affinity on your 4 cores is 0x7 ?

Here is my startup batch file on four cores for your guidance:-

@echo off
start /min /low /affinity 0x7 minerd --url stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090 --user Spexx.Spexx2 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /min /low /affinity 0xb minerd --url stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090 --user Spexx.Spexx3 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /min /low /affinity 0xd minerd --url stratum+tcp://xmg.suprnova.cc:7127 --user Spexx.Spexx --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
start /min /low /affinity 0xe minerd --url stratum+tcp://xmg.suprnova.cc:7127 --user Spexx.Spexx1 --pass stratocaster --threads 1 --quiet
exit

... well this is the simple version anyways. I am working on another version which incorporates automatic fail-over in the event of a pool going off the air. It's a mess at the moment and not fit for human consumption

I think you have it surrounded there. Yes - use a single batch file to start minerd eight times and specify the number of threads to 1 on each command line or it will default to the number of cores you have. Personally, I split the miners between suprnova pool and noncepool and have a unique worker name/password for each instance of minerd.exe because I found that I could wring the very last bit of extra hashing/efficiency out of it that way - the icing on the cake so to speak. I have a good feeling that you know what I am on about here - well I hope so anyway 'cos I need to lie down now. Let me know how you get on.

Yes... Spexx already maded for you. Just instead "etc" put your pool, user and pass.

Seems to be talking about are mined.There is no market information?

Am I correct in my thought that this can all be ran with a single batch file?

Ha, I think I will join you in a drink here shortly myself:-)

Got the miner downloaded and unzipped, but am a bit unsure how to "start multiple instances of minerd.exe" with the lines you gave me. 

I assume part of what you are saying would be to leave out the following from the command line..............

minerd.exe -o stratum+tcp://xmg.suprnova.cc:7127 -u -p -t

Cool. We should be able to get you around 77 Kh/s from that CPU. Get my generic version of minerd.exe (plus the required DLLs) from here:-

This is a beta release for testing and the readme file needs updating. To get the best out of this you have to ignore the advice to start the miner with the number of threads equal to the number of cores you have. Instead, you need to start multiple instances of minerd.exe with a single thread as follows for eight cores:-

start /min /low /affinity 0x7 minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xb minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xd minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xe minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0x70 minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xb0 minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xd0 minerd etc --threads 1
start /min /low /affinity 0xe0 minerd etc --threads 1

Hope you followed that. The idea is to force each instance of minerd.exe to use a subset of three cores and spread the load between them. Doing it this way appears to be more efficient than running a single instance of minerd.exe with multiple threads no matter whose version you use. Trust me on this If you didn't quite get that it is probably because I have been drinking. Get back to me if so and I will have another go at explaining it. I might have sobered up a bit by then

Thank you both for your replies!

Am good on the Windows specs.

Sorry I should have mentioned the CPU, it is and AMD FX 8150 (8 core).

I have been benchmarking/peeking/poking/tuning ALL the various versions of minerd.exe for this coin and some of the results are surprising. Which CPU do you have? That info is critical. My generic version of minerd.exe for Windows is pretty good as it happens, but needs to be set up just right to get the best out of it. You need a minimum of Windows 7 SP1 64 bit for best results.

Depends on your CPU. Some members provided optimized versions for certain cpus. What CPU do you want to use?

Thanks for the warm words
here is my XMG addy 96v3H8THvaibBrMezgoZJSNUacxXin1LD1  , tips appreciated. And thank you for all those who tipped me:)

Great recommendation, we need to all work on it together

Which Windows CPU miner is best to use?  Was gonna setup the free VPS mining but looking at things I think I would prefer to just mine with my own CPU, MUCH higher hashrate.

Very well done Remember to put your XMG coin address as a signature to your posts. That will make it easy for people to send you tips.

We do not have any other forum, but i have started new tread here as well, check above

i have fixed my post on that forum in more simple way. and i will post on our facebook group as well

This was a good idea in general concept, but can you please get threads going in external forums that aren't low on traffic?

This would be worth while... places with no traffic won't do magi any good.

Also the forum tags are still in the thread, they need to be removed from the OP

And here is a tread on lithaunian forum. it's dead a bit, but hope it will expand in the future no traffic there, but anyway all new comers can read about Coin of Magi

Good job! Magi XMG can use all the help to reach more people in
