Most likely corrupted file on download. Try downloading again.

I updated it just a short time ago and maybe it was in the middle of updating as you were downloading. That would be a problem I'm sure. I just tried it and it worked fine.

Doesn't run at all, Spexx. Here's an imgur link: http://imgur.com/a/Z92Qj

I agree with your bottom line there.

Just as there may be ways of applying technical blocks and traps, checks and balances, so there will ways around them by those willing to cheat the system. I do not care to get into a game of cat-and-mouse over that.

A mining pool trying to apply hashrate limiting in real time will have a hard job of it and the code would inevitably put extra load on the server. Perhaps a type of softer retroactive action would be a possible solution, relatively easy to implement and less hungry on resources.

In real life, we usually fine first-time offenders, apply stiffer penalties for repeat offenders, then if they keep doing it we banish them from society in some way, at least for a time, depending on the scale of the offence.

Applying retroactive "fines" for miners who overstep the mark would be 1) sufficient deterrent 2) compensation for possible loss of income by the pool 3) fair. Getting a 12 hour ban in addition for a repeat offence might be an idea and how about a 72 hour ban for a third offence plus being put on probation for 30 days? Do that again and you are barred for life matey. Something like that anyway.

Got potential?

Food for thought anyway.

OK who wants 50 XMG?

First person to post up their results from my new benchmark program for Windows. Off you go ...

I guess I'm not sure how this would be of help.  Even if a pool has a fixed limit per registered account there would be no way (that I can think of) to make sure that the same person could not just start a new account in another pool or mine solo with an additional process.  At a certain point I think you need to have enough trust in basic human nature to believe that they will restrict their hash rate to what is agreed.

When I was younger I used to worry at first that someone would mess with my motorcycle while it was parked and I would end up crashing in a flaming ball with no brakes or something.  After enough road rash, I learned that you can't let fear and restrictions run the show, it is far better to just let love do the driving and get on the bike and ride (or not).  Lots more fun and bonus, less crashes.    

BTW great icon, love this coin.

No not really.

From the way I understood it, it sounded like it was proposed that the whole network worked like a single pool with even distributions based on identifying unique single computers and a secondary block chain for high hash rate miners.  I felt this had potential but had a hard time figuring out how it would work without issues in security and investment.

The bottom line is that the current way we are doing things seems to me the best approach at this time.

Yes that is quite normal.

If you sent your coins to yourself, then received some more coins say, three days later, the weight would rise to a peak some time around 12 to 15 days later I guess, then start to tail off noticeably after a time.

If there was a greater time between sending your coins to yourself and then receiving some more coins, I would expect to see a "double peak" in the weight over time.

When the weight has tailed right off and you notice that the POS rewards are not coming in very often any more (and the expected time to receive a reward becomes days rather than hours rather than minutes), it is time to send all your coins to yourself again.

Hope this helps

Digithusiast , your game is nice, im playing it for fun, not for reward. I loved this game since i was a boy. No point of hacking something you love

Oh and i want to ask you guys if my stack is normal or not:
This is what i writed down for my weight:
My balance: 189 , all in 1 Address, 150 at same date ( i sent all to my wallet that time ) , another 10XMG and 28 XMG i received later. No spend.
14/Apr: 15:45: 522, expected time: about 1 day
14/Apr: 16:47: 523, expected time: about 1 day
14/Apr: 18:28: 522, expected time: about 1 day
14/Apr: 19:04: 521, expected time: about 22hrs
15/Apr: 8:20: 514, expected time: about 23hrs
It's reducing lol 

You may well be right, but in this instance I need something for Windows

Edit: Just seen your edit. Lol. Good stuff on that link, although the last time I tried SpeedFan it not only did not work, it froze the machine.

Not a good experience

I will have to look into it again. Good tip and you deffo qualify for a bonus there, even though it is not exactly what I was looking for. Send me your XMG wallet address by PM please.

there is 50 XMG in it for you

Oh well, you may want to switch to linux. It has a thermometer accessible through terminal.

In the meantime I made some deeper searches and bingo:

Re: XMG Magi Miner Benchmark utility

Whoa ... stop the bus!

Now I have a version of the Benchmark utility which runs multiple instances of the miner - one for each CPU core present - collects the whole flippin lot of data and gives you a result for that mode - Multiplex mode.

Update package here Now included in package below

Download and run the executable XMG-Bench-Multiplex-Addon-Win.exe
As usual, it is a self-extracting Zip file which extracts to C:\XMGminer by default.
There is no setup procedure, but you need to have installed the main package first.

Main package here

You will find a file called Benchmx.vbs has been created, along with a few others. Make a shortcut to this on your Desktop and you are ready to roll another type of benchmark. Benchsetup.bat now creates two Desktop icons for you.

Interesting results ...

Happy benchmarking

Hey guys can you post data or pm me from txt file you get with spexx bench utility, i will send 5 xmgs to first 50 pms i get, 1 pm per one user i know its not much, i would send more but i dont have that much xmgs right now

cheers m8s 

wow great work, just run it a works like a charm

You are very welcome. Yep you can post that anywhere. FREE software matey

I thought you might be pleased.

OMG i logged in just to say big THANK YOU spexx   can i put this on magi hash thread   with this utility there will be no more fluke data,

i thought of going to sleep, now i need coffee 4 benching

Cheers m8s  
 

Just bought some votes at Cryptsy for xmg did you allready vote on Cryptsy?

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. Waiting for the new POM to start. Better do something constructive.

New Windows Software Release

32 and 64 bit supported.

I was thinking to myself the other day about the need for a reliable, repeatable method for benchmarking the speed of the XMG miner on a Windows PC. I figured that I could publish a list of instructions on how to do it - not rocket science - but thought it would be better to have some software do it for you, so here it is.

Brand spanking new XMG Magi Miner Benchmark utility.

This utility will run a miner in the background for 10 minutes, collect the CPU and hashrate information, then display the results in an information window. It also preserves the results in a text file with the date and time as part of the file name. Provided that the computer is otherwise completely idle, this utility should provide a reliable and repeatable benchmark figure for your computer (in Kh/s) to within about +/- 0.4 percent. Running the benchmark while Windows is booted into Safe Mode will give the most consistent results. The text file output can be copied and pasted into a Forum post or Private Message for example, to allow others to share your results. Hefty - you are gonna love this ...

Get it here

Download the executable file XMG-Bench-Win.exe and run it.
This is a self-extracting Zip file which extracts to folder C:\XMGminer by default.
Once unzipped, run C:\XMGminer\Benchsetup.bat which creates a startup script and desktop icon for you.

The package is designed to live alongside my Autominer software and use the same minerd binaries as your current configuration, but it can also be used standalone. If the minerd binaries are not present in a sub-folder, the Benchsetup.bat will download them for you (subject to the usual warnings about anti-virus software of course).

The behavior of the software is designed to encourage you to leave the damn thing alone while the benchmark is running. You will see what I mean.

What you see is what you get ...

and what you get will depend on the time of day.

Go on now - have a play.

Happy benchmarking

Thank you for the great picture!!

Community remember to vote here https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes
You can use free votes but also cryptsypoint to vote for Magi.
I have a good feeling about Cryptsy but i received a little advice to get more votes there!

Guy`s thx for those xmg`s

Sry it was only a joke.
In the game world when someone lose they always scream HACKS coz most of them cant take the losses

Yes they have the chance to join the second one!
at least I hope that the anonymous donor will help with the fund for that.
But first things first! lets see how the the first one will do!
