I have been dabbling in crypto-mining over the last year, so imagine my my excitement when all of a sudden i start my miner up to solo mine, and
BAMM
I solve a block then another and befor I know it Im solving left and right. I was jumping out of my seat fricking excited is how excited I was. This slowly turned to puzzled then curious, finally to worried. As i said ive been around for alittle bit so I knew that I wasnt that lucky and my hash rate isn't really anything to write home to momma about, so I figured I was on the wrong chain. At this point my worry became some thing else call it what you will, At this point my wallet said I had about 1200 dollars worth of xmg in it so I backing up and checking and guarding. Moree importantly i was wishing and praying that what i was afraid of wasnt going to happen. And of course it did because it anyone wants a sure bet they should bet on the fact that no matter what i try I will always join at the wrong time or pick the wrong horse to bet on. So as I updated my wallet and saw the enevitability that my 5000 xmg became .98 uncomfirmed , I was to say the least verbally upset enough to make the dogs hide under the table. I wanted peoples heads, I wanted a line to the president and I wanted most of all my funds back. THen I get on bitcoin Talk and I see that the devs from Magi coin had the nerve to post
Magi community & friends,
For those who had lost in the past days because of forks on mining or balance, Magi will make out a compensationprogram.
The process will be:
1) Make own claims to Magi
(for example, by sending PM to us) and propose the amount of your loss, along with your main XMG & BTC addresses
2)Magi will collect all the information and come up with a total affordable number for compensation, each one will take a proportional portion. Does not mean 100% but Magi will do whatever they can.
3) This might not be a simple job and will not be finished soon. Magi will need to check the claims. Be smart and add as much info you have like screenshots or other info.
4) Because Magi will do this as goodwill to the awesome Magi community it will keep the right to reject claims if abuse like fake claims might be there. Be fair with this.
5) You can send your PM directly to Joelao95 or me.
Add Claim in the message subject.
6) The total fund for this will be supported by our Magi team. Personal i think its a very nice gesture!
Special thanks during this periode for Joe. Well done!
Last remark:
Send in your claim before 31 august 2017!
Good luck to all!
This post can be adjust by Magi team if i forgot something.

Well all I can say to that is Awesome of you all to make a commitment like that to your community, And though I am disheartened it is not by you or your team its just the way things roll. But I do want to thank you, because this gesture means a lot since it restores my faith in people to do what is right when it would be just as easy to do the opposite and be able to walk away with maybe a few dirty looks but not really be blamed. You have made the right choice and I will also Im not going to turn in a claim what happened happened it wasn't your fault. Thank you for giving me a coin I can stand with, well at least once i get some coins mined or saved up I will stand with you. But I think you all are going to be successful and be here awhile so i have time even if it takes me a year thanks again.
