It was only the wind.

I'm using also RPi 2 for mining with your modded miner + some extraflag for RPi optimization at 4.73k/hash without overclock and 5,25K/hash with RPi2 overclock @ 1 ghz.

All without heatsink.

Regards


Those are some nice results from mining with a Raspberry Pi 2. I also have one, but I'm not very familiar with overclocking it (as I don't know how to do so on the Pi). Even still, that is a very decent hashrate and sometimes I wonder how XMG mining would be when we merge different RPis as a single system (parallel computing). If this could be achieved on multiple RPis, then it would be a totally awesome XMG mining machine!  Cheesy



Yes true.

i'm also modding the code to use the GPU of RPi, but actually i've some synch problem between NEON ASM code an mine thread x CPU.

I hope to solve that...

Well, hop on IRC when you can, I'll be there. The RPi's GPU doesn't support OpenCL, right?

No, openCL not supported @ Moment.

you can try in this way to use the broadcom chip.

If u need OpenCL there's some implementation here http://parallelplusplus.blogspot.it/2015/10/opencl-on-raspberry-pi-2.html but without GPU, only OpenCL on CPU usage.

Regards




OpenCL on the CPU is a waste of time here. Either I finish my mostly done OpenCL M7M implementation and run on AMD, or do an FPGA design for M7M. Probably the former, the latter would be hard.

how much can be price for XMG in 2017-2020  Huh

Magi could reach a good price in the next 2 to 5 years if there is enough demand. By the looks of it, I think that Magi would be worth $0.10 or $1 per coin if it continues bringing new development and growing in community. Remember, the most important thing is not the price but the coin itself (usability, features, etc) Smiley

It seems that I am fianlly able to get over my personal stuffs, and to get the magi stuffs on the track in the following periods (estimate to be weeks or maybe months). It was tough and this happened back to February of this year. I won't be too honest to talk about what happened, but you know that is something like a life change. I still have to finalize my stuffs and then a concrete plan about magi.

A rough plan, 1) the first thing I believe to look at that is very urgent is the PoW mining we talked; I might be able to look into the things in the middle of Dec. or during the Christmas: basically summarize the PoW / PoS discussion, a plan as to what I am going to do, and pushing actual works out (in Jan. or most likely Feb.). The progress will depend on my timing in real job. I am not saying I do have the solutions as to what happened, but I do have energies to push out solutions, and believe the coin deserves such efforts; 2) I like and would like to push the magi-pi project; 3) We have to push XMG towards sort of business and make it appear to be a role that it should be. I am not guaranteeing what I will be done; I felt this is the turning point of my own situation and thus the above updates.

Thanks to all for your patience and efforts by far.


Glad you are back Joe and ready to push Magi forward to new heights. It is nice to see new stuff happen in the Magi community. It is always active and very friendly. A Coin Magi wallet for the Raspberry Pi would be something great to have. Happy Thanksgiving by the way!  Cheesy

An RPi XMG wallet? There's a TON of work that needs to be done on the XMG wallet before that even begins to make sense. It's based on older coin code, and it SERIOUSLY shows it in that it maxes out a core for quite a while on startup, and uses quite a bit of memory by itself. I'm fairly sure that if you tried to load magid on a Pi or a Pi2, it would get OOM killed unless you had swap space to supplement the small RAM capacity - and even then, you'd have to wait a week for it to finish starting up.

Wolf0 which version of wallet give you that problem? with or without Qt?

i've wallet running on RPi 2 Kernel 3.x in less than 2 min ( if synched ).

There are also some extra stuff to do on RPi 2 and i'm currently modding miner for that but it's really slow because i've nit much time.

If needed i can give you some info for build it on RPi 2, because my site shutdown some days ago.

Regards

I have an ARM board, but it's not an RPi2. Anyways, do you use swap on that? And I'm amazingly surprised if it starts in less than 2min if synced.

Yes i've enabled swap but only for the Qt version.

I've also checked on other board, but RPi 2 give me the best results.

I'm waiting banana pi m3, when arrive, i can check also this one.

I'm using also RPi 2 for mining with your modded miner + some extraflag for RPi optimization at 4.73k/hash without overclock and 5,25K/hash with RPi2 overclock @ 1 ghz.

Of course PoS mining is hashing with SHA256 - but you're not doing it constantly. Secondly, the wallet mining is slower mostly because the code is old - isn't it still the original M7M implementation?

EDIT: Also, SHA256 is probably wasting so much time because you're probably using a slow one-way implementation of it - if you're hashing, you can probably use SSE/AVX to parallelize the different iterations.

These are all where we can put optimizations on. Tongue

Nice words Abiky, thanks.
Joe to save time, if we know the things that needed to fix/change in the wallet to get it work faster there are others who can help you with the improvements.
(Like Wolf) Also would like to see a button: start/stop mining in the wallet. Very easy for newbies to mine Magi.
Welcome back Joe!
I agree with that, and will talk to people, or any ones who are interested to the development, we can communicate to each other. We had feldenthorne and lightsplasher contributions to the current source repo; people interested to improvements are always welcome.

Mining in the wallet is inefficient but I'd think about it.


Mining in the wallet is just fine, you've just got to fix the code.

It will work but it may be less meaningful at the final people will realize. The wallet mining would be less efficient primarily because of cpu consumption by wallet and solo mining:

1) With the present network hash, solo mining would be unlikely, unless we enable pool mining by merging m-cpuminer-qt which is quite feasible.

2) Wallet takes up percentages of cpu, particularly PoS mining enabled as well; the hash of PoS or some things else I'd like to look at to make PoS efficient, however, staking more or less takes more cpu% than no staking.

I think a lightweight wallet with mining is better.

If you do it properly, you shouldn't see any difference between in-wallet mining and a standalone miner with the wallet running. It should simply make communication simpler.

EDIT: Further explanation, in case you need it: Most OS schedulers, including the Windows scheduler, schedule threads for execution - they don't really care what process they belong to, the priority matters a lot more. So, obviously you're going to spawn new miner threads inside the wallet process to mine. Assuming the miner code is the same, there's really little to no difference - except that passing info back to the wallet can be done with a pointer - dropping the overhead of JSON-RPC.

Talking about PoS taking up CPU time is irrelevant because the person would be mining and staking on the same system regardless - whether the wallet is in the miner or not, if there's a performance hit, it's going to happen. But I doubt there will be with staking - especially if the hashing code is done correctly.

The mining is actually working already by issuing setgenerate true, solo mining. I'd like get pool mining enabled as well. If you are saying little / no difference in performance, I doubt it. PoS mining is hashing with SHA256 which does affect.

why solo mining would be unlikely?

I guess this statement is bit harsh; the situation will be the higher the network hash, the more time solo mining finding a block.
