It's been a minute since I last checked in.. Last time I was here the hard fork madness had just blown over. Glad to see things are back to normal with magi and the community is as friendly as ever.
I have 2 questions as they go with magi.
First is to do with mining. I usually mine XMR on my CPUs, but I try to throw any extra CPU power I have at magi, less for rewards and more for support of the project/network. That said, I'm interested if anyone has come up with a way of "estimating" profit over a longer period of time. I know there is the command in the wallet to get the current estimate based of reward, etc., but I'm interested in predicting over a long period of time. Is there somewhere where I could get data over the last month or so for reward per block, and from that derive what my earnings could have been over say the last month for "x" hashrate? Or some other method? Is there another calculator I'm unaware of? Realistically it seems that one only needs a data table of the changes in hashrate, and reward, and can then apply the methods for calculating reward to each of these instances across a period of time to recieve an average, but I could be mistaken! If I'm wrong or overthinking this someone please let me know.
Second, I know there has been plenty of use/talk of XMG with the Raspberry pi. Has anyone ever tried these on other SoC? Specifically interested in Orange Pi, although experience with others would be interesting and helpful. If it matters and people that have worked with magi on the Rpi feel like helping I can dig up information as it pertains to the orange pi as needed. Thinking about maybe setting up a little miner/node, think it might be an interesting project for a boring winter weekend.
All that out of the way I really am glad to see magi is growing and doing well, especially in value. Crazy to think about where XMG was this time last year and compare to now. Is there anything else major that I've missed since the forking fiasco? I'll be sure to go back and read through the thread in the next week or so, but just as a quick and dirty recent history?
