Greetings, first post, new(ish) to Magi, but not new to the Crypto scene. I've been following this coin in the shadows, and pumping in some hash power (60-80khash) mainly prior to the fork, which thanks to this rise in price, made a few bucks on the chain prior to the fork. Just set my wallet machine 2 hours ahead, and pumped some hash into it, lots of orphans/boos, but some actually did go through, though it is not like I'm sitting pretty like the old timers, I got like 10 XMG (yeah I know ballin out of control here), but still managed to gain something (considering I had nothing to begin with 3 weeks ago). Right now the network might as well be a turtle in a shell (and ROFL for whomever wrote "you could throw a unicorn at it, and out would come dust"). I know there isn't even a point of throwing anything larger than a Pi 3 @ 10khash at it. As for what I've been (cpu) mining instead, that has been very yum
Ultimately, for everyone who is complaining about the "whales", there is a solution... generate more transactions on the network, e.g. integrate it into more systems, that will cause the required network hashes to increase, thus increasing payout (at least from my understanding of how the Magi PoW algorithm works), or wait for them to (hopefully sooner than later) re-target a different coin. Someone should go make a Crypto Puppies game powered on Magi or something
