Checked out your timeline. Any ideas on when you're gonna continue development of the other new features?
First new development will be the Magi android app!
Other developments and improvements are in progress. More info about those will follow.

Free VPN?  I just ended my free trial of amazon web services (AWS.amazon.com).  The only thing on it was cpuminer to mine magi.  I posted the instructions to compile for linux somewhere on this thread.  The free micro instance gets about 10 khash/sec.  It isn't really worth it because they have something called cpu credits so after you mine for a few hours and use up your free credits it restricts your cpu usage and the hash falls to 1khash/sec.

I didn't try amazon yet, but with google cloud for some time (guess you used it too?); not with 100% but 80-90% CPU with the miner, which gives me 13-16kh/s (2 cores), I am running 4 instances (actually 55kh/s in total), so far no restriction from google (maybe running 100% CPU usage causes their attention, didn't risk that yet). So far, $187 (17 days used $113) or 43 days free trial remaining, ill stop before credit hits zero.

HP had a similar (to Google) VPS, with 3 monthes of free try. I never tested it so I can't tell you if it's worth something or not but that could be cool if someone could do it  Wink !

Two questions come to me : how do you know the consumption of your CPUs ? And what is this free Google Cloud ? It can be pretty interesting since it's could mine like my CPUs but 24 hours a day and freely  Smiley !

I measured the current passing through the CPU before and after running the miner, say I(be) and I(af), respectively; also I measure the voltage too, which is V(be) and V(af); certainly, V(be) nearly equals V(af) which is about 110V in US. All measurements are done to obtain the RMS value; so

Power(machine) = I(be) x V(be)
Power(machine+miner) = I(af) x V(af)

You can goog search Google cloud (https://cloud.google.com/) and register, with $300 or two month free trial (need a credit card to register payment - no pay actually happens - make sure cancel it before funds is used up or free trial ends)

When I meaned "how do you know the consumption of your CPUs ?" I meaned : physically how ? With a tool, a software ? If you use a software I could post my values here for my two CPUs  Smiley.

I used a multimeter.  Cheesy

p.s., like this one

https://www.google.com/search?q=multimeter&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS571US571&oq=multimeter&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.656j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=multimeter&tbm=shop

I am aware that people use power meter typically, but I like multimeter which is sensitive to me; like one knows what's going on inside a circuit.

Ok ! So that's not tonight that you will know how much an i5-3570k and an i7-4790k consume electricy  Smiley !

Ideally we would all be mining with a Rasberry Pi and no one would be using more than one

We would all use way less energy and get decent rewards with less environmental impact.

It'll be fine with more than one; the point is that everyone is bound to similar machines (or more happy to use that over the other machines). What if power is free, which is very much the tremendous part of the project.

So if I use this..

"hashrate (kh/s)" : 80.00000000,
    "difficulty" : 1.66700583,
    "difficulty(aver)" : 2.12233496,
    "blockvalue" : 1.61871981,
    "mining (XMG)" : {
        "1 hour" : 0.05114349,
        "1 day" : 1.22744382,
        "1 week" : 8.59210671
..............................

8.59 x 4 = 34.36 XMG...

350 watts running the miner..

here (Quebec canada) according to the kw/h price.. it cost me 18.59CND/month

another calcul..

314CND/BTC
18.59 / 314 = 0.05920382 BTC
current price to buy 0.00004975
0.05920382 / 0.00004975 = 1190.026532.. XMG
minus some fees.. equals to 1187.05146633 XMG!!


SO!.. with 18.59CND/month
mining = 34.36 XMG/month
Buying = 1187.05 XMG/month

I think I'm gonna stop mining and start buying...
anyone want to rent a server dual xeon 8 core 8GB RAM?? Tongue could be more profitable for me!!

The ROI in this case is pretty much unimpressive; based on your calculation, XMG price is better to be at 18.59CND / 34.36 =  0.41 USD/XMG, while the current price is far below that, most of miners should give up.  Grin Well the actual situation won't be that straightforward: 1) the mining return is just estimate, you'll get different values at different time; what's need might be put your rig in a pool and estimate how much mined in a day; the longer period the more accurate. I don't have fist-hand experience right now, but was mining in SuchPool with i5 4670, AMD 8350, a dual core and google cloud mining, with total hashrate of about 210 kh/s or so, and nearly 30 XMG in a day. But that's absolutely about few weeks ago. I am not able to fire up the miners right now, so can't tell how much I can get with these; 2) 350 watts running 80 kh/s absolutely no where efficient and should be stopped I believe. My i5 ran with 72 kh/s with far less power than your case. In contrast, the amd cpu runs much higher. I'll get data when back at home.


I just take a look on my transactions on pom m.. during september I made 5x 100xmg.. running about 230khs.. it far to be 1187xmg and I said 18$ for 80khs... so 230khs cost me a lot more then 18$...

I should recheck the consumption maybe its a lil bit less but as I remember it was 350

I checked my rig data, AMD FX 8350 consumes 140W for 55kh/s (8350 ran with 80kh/s or so before, but is low now after I moved it to another motherboard; the power consumption is surprise to me); i5 4670 is 60W at ~75Kh/s. The total power consumption (miner + power on the machine):

AMD: 210 W - 55kh/s
i5: 125W - 70kh/s

I guess some people optimizing the miner may have better results. I just fired them up at that time to support SuchPool, with about 210kh/s (AMD, i5, google cloud (free, about 60kh/s or so), due core (with 1 thread)) and total power about 400W (AMD is a monster in this case). I am thinking of getting some i5.

[edit: pools.ini

Thank you so much ! This is a big help you gave to me  Wink !

Also, this is my image :



Is it what you were looking for ? If you like it, I can add several other words. It is late and I'm tired. I can't search others myself today. Adding colours to the words could be cool.

As you all know Magi android app is in progress.
Magi needs a original Magi picture 1024px by 500px for the app.
Maybe somebody can help with that!


What are you looking for ? Do you want a new version of the Magi logo or an totally new picture like goldlabel frequently do ? In the first case I can help, in the second I can't help at all. If you need a totally new picture, ask to goldlabel, he's the pro  Wink !
New version of the Magi logo with the specifications above should do it!

Ok, so maybe I can help you with that. I'll see what I wan do just right now. But also, can you help me ? On the SweetSpot miner, I have to manually enter the stratum and port information of SuchPool. Tell me, is it possible to modify a file somewhere to add it to the list, so I do not have to re-write it when I switch pool ?
