Haha, I'm struggling to keep up with the thread too this week as I'm not in the country. It's great to see so many posts =)

Maybe some one might need it, so i would like to share my solution to startup and hide miner in addition to startup and hide wallet for solo mining, it can also be used to autostart and hide miner while pool mining.

I use this to reload everything after a windows update or restart for whatever reason.
Also it hides the miner so it is only visible in the task manager because i dont want it in in my face, or getting accidently closed while doing other stuff on the device.  
(Do a test run with a normal start of the bat file before using the script to make sure everything is setup right in the miner itself.)

To create the script we first need to show the file name extensions.

On Windows 10
Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
Click Organize.
In the right top corner check show file name extensions.

On Windows 7
Start Windows Explorer, you can do this by opening up any folder.
Click Organize.
Click Folder and search options.
Click the View tab.
Scroll down until you notice Hide extensions for known file types, un-check this line by clicking the check box.

Now we Create [Yourfilename].txt

Copy paste this in your .txt file and eddit the information related to your device without [].
(rename the point \run.bat to the name of the .bat you use to start your miner.)


Safe and exit.
Now rename the file from [Yourfilename].txt to [Yourfilename].vbs

Double klick and open the task Manager, check if your miner is runing with high cpu load. It it dies everything is fine.

To put it into autostart press Windows Key+R and copy paste Copy [Yourfilename].vbs into the folder.
Restart Device and check Task manager for miner process.

For solo mining put a shortcut of m-wallet.exe into the autostart or simply check Start magi on system login in the wallet Configuration tab. You also can hide it into the info tab next to you clock by checking the Option in tue configuration.

Kindly note that this only will work when your miner itself already is set up right.

Wow our Magi thread is very active. I need some reading up. Keep up the good work all!

It all depends on what kind of service you run and how you run it.

Makes sense i have to admit that i didn't considered this.
It for sure can be problematic when a big amount of coins is locked in stake if you have a lot of transactions in and especially out.

Actually, I would say under normal usage there's no reason for it to be disabled. But if you run a service where you have transactions to and from that service. I would actually recommend it. But then we are talking about more special case.

Do you use m-core:1.3.1 ?
If yes you can klick on Mint -> Disable PoS Minting
To turn auto PoS off klick Help -> Edit Magi.conf -> Strg F -> put posii=1 into the search line and set it to 0 in the config file. Save and exit, restart Wallet.

To do it manual at Windows 10 navigate To: My Computer -> type C:\Users\[your windows username]\AppData\Roaming\Magi\magi.conf without [] Choose editor from the app list.
Or just %appdata% navigate to magi and open magi.conf with editor. -> Strg F -> put posii=1 into the search line and set it to 0 in the config file. Save and exit, restart Wallet.

If you set a passphrase and just have your wallet open without unlocking it, PoS is also disabled.

But there is no reason to disable it in my opinion since it does not cause havy load on your system.


 

I don't setting mint (staking) but why my wallet auto staking? how I fix it? thanks for reply

maybe you could try with a service such as dyndns or no-ip to map your dynamic public ip to a domain name with which you could connect to the wallet from outside, but i don't know if putting domain names in config is working.

                                   https://portforward.com/

In my opinion it has to do a lot with the marketing machinery behind those projects, especialy Dash.

But i look postive towards the future, since the new wallet has been released it seems like a lot of people that only followed the Forum are now active (me included)
Also the network seems to get bigger pretty fast at the moment according to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/#!network and the actual average hashrate.

The number of transactions is not optimistic

I dont fear the port forwarding in the router the question is, is it possible to just put the router IP into the magi.conf and use portforwarding to appear with the router ip at the Wallet because if you need to put the real ip of the connecting device into wallet.conf you need a non dynamic adress i guess. Next problem will be to connect to IP6. I will try arround if i find some time to do so.
I wonder how pools connect to their wallet since they probably need to pool all the ips to one that connects to the wallet too.
I still have a verry basic knowledge of this stuff and the most of the time it comes to guessing and trying things out rather than definately knowing how it does work.

Call me optimistic but I can't see why magi won't compete with the monero, dash, and eth of the world.

Thanks for sharing your solution Maybe this will help some ppl with similar issue.
Port-Forwarding is actually quite easy, I guess if you google the model of your router you will find good guides for doing so.

Now Chainz is online. Thanks.

@cryptonit, Many thanks for that.

JFYI informed chainz and they resync explorer now

The exact soulution is what joelao95 posted, the problem was that i have interchanged some of the ips... Still Facepalm.  If you want to set it up within a home or office network you can simply follow that guide, but make sure you dont mess up your ips  . If you want to connect from other locations thru the router you probably need a permanent ip4 adress and some forwarding in the router but i havent played arround with it yet.

Would be good to know what your actual problem was and how you fixed it. In case someone else comes accross the same problem, he would only find "I fixed it" as solution which is absolutely unhelpful in any way.
