Seems odd. Their stratum mining blocks, but database is not accounting the blocks.
Hope they will resolve, they have quite some catching up to do.

Indeed, market stuck on 6200 - 6300 range... not really moving.
BTC price is quite high, perhaps people holding on until BTC price drops.

I'll give them until Saturday, then move pools if its still not working - not earning much through mining these days

Magi price seems really stable these last few days =)

minerclaim is having issues

xmgpool brief Maintenance
Sep-28-2017 10:00 UTC           6:00 EDT

Should be a short maintenance. The pool will auto-start after the reboot. Just tested the auto-start script while the reward is almost zero now.

Also I just temporarily lower luckypool.ml fee to 0.5% till this weekend. Most of the users in xmgpool are copied to luckypool. You can use the same worker to connect to the luckypool. But you need to login to make sure everything is correct. That's one option for xmgpool user during the short maintenance.

Welcome to  luckypool.ml and enjoy 0.5% fee till this weekend!  

I had the antivirus warning come up for the magi wallet, but windows defender being the crap program that it is shows absolutely no reference to the wallet.

but now its coming up with this app cant run on your PC as if the magi wallet is some 1000 year old app thats just not compatible?

Any work around that doesnt involved copying my wallet.dat to another machine and waiting 3 days for it to sync up again


*** EDIT *** found the fix myself

- added an exception to windows defender for m-wallet.exe
- deleted the 1.4.4.1 folder
- unzipped the folder back to the same spot

oddly enough defender doesnt remove it, just seems to block it so if you add the file exception, delete the file then put it back again your wallet works again

Antivirus definition updates from many a/v vendors today are flagging several wallets and miners as trojans or malware and all sorts of different names - technically this is correct and always has been because this code "can" be used maliciously but for those of us who have been doing this for a while, we call it a false flag detection.  

We (I) could be wrong and there could be some nasty code there that we've missed but as of now I don't see that happening.  Unfortunately, the bright bold warning from many a/v programs is enough to deter the majority of users and rightfully so.

The IRC code in many wallets does introduce vulnerabilities to the system and can be used maliciously, I believe this was a tool for discovering nodes, peers, and IP's - the problem with that is that it works both ways and you are no longer incognito because your IP is also discoverable.  It's more complicated than that but that is enough to be flagged right there.

Some coin devs have been making wallets without the IRC code in order to not get flagged by a/v software as being malicious, maybe Joe can create a separate wallet for us without that code?  I'm not a dev so I have no idea what is involved in this but I have seen other devs do this in a matter of a day or two and going forward I think this would be a smart move - security and safety first!

In the meantime, I'm using the wallet without issue but I do not allow it to run 24/7.

well thats what the dashboard is showing

The hash of the network is not that high ... from what the pool shows. He used to be like that. But the reward went straight down.
Although I understand the dependence of the hash network and the rewards that it is embedded in an algorithm

As a conclusion, I understand that what we see now is the consequences of the actions of strong miners?

There are people with huge hashrates increasing net hashrate resulting to lower mining amounts. What they get is 90% x 0.5 = Nothing!
They don't understand (yet) that if they lower their hashrate by 95% they will get more... and the rest hashrate can be re-directed mining a different coin.
