What is better, having 1 worker with all the hash power or more workers sharing the hashes?
I made some little tests but cannot figure out if it changes something or not (I guess if it does, it's small)

I dont know. I always use one worker.
Maybe someone else can give an answer on this.

In PoM pool I use only one worker.
In other pools I use one worker per CPU.

I don't think that there is a difference in hashrate between one and multiple workers - each miner receives different share diff from pool based on his hashrate and submit share rate.
Just when you use multiple workers, it's easier to spot a CPU problem, overheat, rig down, etc.

On a similar note, if running a CPU miner at 75% or more, how dangerous is extended usage? A simpler question would be: how long could I run at 100% before my processor bursts into flames?

And on the topic of XMG itself: how do we achieve our dream of landing on the moon? A space walk, perhaps? Maybe build ourselves an O'Neil cylinder?

There is no chance that the processor will ever burst into flames Wink

With modern CPU thermal limiting, there is virtually no way to fry a CPU other than by dropping it into a frying pan with a little hot oil and seasoning.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on CPU temperature and to keep cooling fans and heatsinks free of dust to keep things running sweetly. This is certainly more important during hot weather.

The safe operating temperature for CPUs differs from model to model.

I am currently working on a CPU temperature limiter for XMG mining on Windows which works in conjunction with my Speed Controller. It is possible to limit the speed of the miner to keep the CPU temperature below a threshold level set by the user. I have this in Alpha testing at the moment. It uses SpeedFan for the temperature sensing.

As for landing on the Moon and building O'Neill Cylinders, that is somewhat beyond my abilities right now. Maybe next week eh? Wink

With your second question; do you mean how we all can build a bigger community for Magi?
Agree with what ELMacho20000 already said.
My personal opinion about this is the way Magi is growing is step by step and that a good sign.
No rush. BTC needed more than two years before getting nice value. If Magi keeps on growing and building new developments (some unique) and our Magical community stays like this (awesome with all the help people give eachother) it will receive a bigger value. Magi has already showed to be a long-term investment. People who like to gain fast money will use other coins for that. We all noticed lots of scamcoins or clones who will always die in the first 6 months. As Joe mentioned before Magi is here to stay and will try to help btc to get more people in the world of digital currency and use it like its meant to be used. I'am very proud of what we all (team and community) achieved already in the past 7 months.
And we will continue!!!

If you have good temp (good cooling system) you can run it 24/7 at 100%.

I pay my living with (boring) numerical stuff.
Two point must be expoited (My 2 cents)

Thermal point of view
I always stay lower than 70% on everyday computer. Of course thermal management is extremely important but I nevertheless prefer not to go beyond that limit with common pc.

Try to take a look at the temp of your cpu (heatsink, northbridge southbridge etc...)

Economical poit of view
Magi is not made for huge miners, is an energy-clever coin. Going full power means paying high bills, better using a smarter way of mining, e.g. SweetSpot

So....who here has a VPS set up for XMG mining?

Cuz I'm stuck in the process following Joe's instructions, not sure if they're outdated (?) here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8800103

I sent Mr. Lao a message, but hopefully others here may be able to help...I'll post where I'm at once someone is ready for a migraine Grin

(I think my swap file is set up, right now I'm trying to learn how to edit fstab properly)

I am no Linux expert, but I am online at least. Joe will be unavailable for a time. Which bit are you stuck on?

Sorry, didn't see your reply until now... But I'm stuck at steps 6 & 7; I'm not sure if I have fstab set up correctly (how do I check? Not sure if the swap line was edited in the correct spot). Step 7 - what directory am I cd'ing into, because after cloning (which I assume worked) I can't cd into the directory of what's required ( m7m...)

Thanks, I'll be able to get on with more detailed info tomorrow... Highly appreciate the help!

Still debating whether or not VPS mining XMG would pay off ..... 5$ / month for a single core...but then again I've only made 3 XMG over the past day running between 2-3 cores off my i5-4670k....

Anyone have recommendations?

If you take a 5$/m vps 1 core.. mining at what?.. around 10kh/s.. lets say 11kh/s... 1 kh/s make around 0.0892 XMG/day (on pom.m-hash) so 0.0892 * 11 = 0.9812XMG/day * 30days = 29.436 XMG

to at the current price high price on bittrex (0.00008350 btc) 29.436XMG = 0.002457906 BTC (btc at 232$ lets say 250$...) 0.002457906 BTC = $0.61 USD...

Can you have a VPS under $0.61/month?? better use your 5$/month and buy 239 XMG each month..
and most of VPS hoster don't accept mining be sure to read the TOS!..

just a my advise..

use the google one , its free for 60 days , its 2 cores so its about 15 khs u have used it before the only thing is you need a credit card on file but after you set it up you can disable biling and it keeps mining for 2 months

Ohhhh, talking about wallet, my wallet version is 1.2.1.1, how do i update my wallet? Is there any problem if i make it wrong? lol

Joe mentioned that he has yet to update the binaries on the website from 1.2.1.1 to 1.2.1.2 some time last week. I suspect that's partly due to the personal matters he has had to deal with lately, partly because of the Berkeley Database stuff that I've kept bringing up, and probably for a few other reasons as well. In short, though, he said there were no significant changes between 1.2.1.1 and 1.2.1.2 that require you to update. So it's alright to wait for the next official release, unless you're really itching to have the newest version (which would require you to compile it yourself).
