Hello guys,
I have been following Magi coins for past couple of months & purchased some during last dumping.
Now I want to start mining as well on my available total 52 cores (4x 4670, 2x 4790k, 1x 4770k & 1x 5280k).
I have tested few miners during this weekend & it seems that Spexx's miner works better for all my systems.
However I have few questions, I am sure they have already been answered previously somewhere in this thread & I also tried to read few random pages (specially after spexx's release of miners) but I couldn't find the proper answer so I guess, it would be best to get them with your help.
Here are few things wroth noting regarding my setup,
* I am also mining burstcoin on all of the above 8 systems
* I am using
http://magi.nonce-pool.com/ for mining Magi coin
* I am using Spexx's Miner For Noncepool:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rjy33xqqqgbs2pp/NoncepoolWin.exeNow my questions are,
01. I am getting "Stratum requested work restart" frequently is it normal or abnormal ?
02. I have noticed major fluctuation in my earning during last couple of days, all I know is this coin's algo is dependent on Net Hash rate, so is it good to mine on 2 pools simultaneously & spread your hashes over 2 pools instead of mining on single pool if your hash rate is over 500 KH/s ? Does this affect your total coin earning ?
03. Is it worth mining solo with slightly over 600 KH/s ? if yes, is it possible to solo mine to single wallet/address from multiple systems ?
Thanks in advance & hats off to you Spexx for such a hard & fine work, never seen this much perfect miner for any other coin.
Hi Mafostedu and welcome to this Magical community
1) The messages about "Stratum requested work restart" are normal. You will see that every time that a block has been solved and work moves onto the next block.
2) The block reward system means that daily income can be highly variable. This page
here gives an excellent illustration of the dependence on total hashrate. Personally, I do think that spreading the hashpower across multiple pools is a good idea, but not primarily for the purposes of maximizing income. Over the longer term, no single pool is any "luckier" than another and incomes will be roughly equal. However, if you are mining on every pool, then no matter which pool mines the block, you will get a share of it. Spreading the hashpower is also beneficial to the community in general, while also being a good idea from the point of view of fault-tolerance i.e. when/if a pool goes offline for whatever reason. My full Autominer package includes options for automatically spreading the hashpower and pool failover and supports up to eight pools (we currently have six to choose from), so you might like to have a look at that rather than using the software packages for individual pools.
3) Solo mining is a lonely affair and you can wait a very long time to mine a single block even if you have a very high hashrate. It is a matter of personal choice, but it is rather more satisfying to see the steady drip-drip-drip coming from pool mining imho. Having said that, there was one memorable occasion when I was testing the 32 bit miner and it "accidentally" solo-mined a block with a miniscule hashrate. It is certainly possible to mine from several machines pointing at a single wallet on another machine - my Autominer includes support for this mode. The only limitation is that they must all be connected on a local network.
Thank you for your kind words regarding the software. That makes my work all worthwhile
