Topic: Auto-switching pool service in MagicPool.org: get the best profitability always - page 4. (Read 5714 times)

G'day
I'm Barry & I don't normally do testimonials but I'm a MagicPool user and since I've had such good service there I've dropped in to give 'em a plug. In truth I registered with this forum for that very purpose 

What can I tell you about them as a recent beta-tester?

Well, important things first, I guess - they pay regularly. More to the point their returns so far have been better than the average observed on PoolPicker and that plus their daily auto-pay of all amounts greater than 0.001BTC is probably sufficient reason for most miners to give them a try.

Major plus for novices getting into scrypt or those thinking of a switch to scrypt-n and/or X11 is that MagicPool has a read-to-rock Linux image you can download and burn to USB/disk to get you up and mining in next-to-no time.

I had been trying various drivers and Linux distributions trying to set up the ultimate mining rig for myself, which is how I came to try MagicOS. There are a couple of things new users should be aware of:

• The developers' first language is Spanish, so naturally the keyboard is set up to facilitate that (easy to change in settings)
• There are a few typos and clumsy syntax reflecting English as a second language so take that into account
• Documentation is incomplete:

• To save killing USB flash drives with repeated write operations the system operates in a RAMDisk
• To change the read-only drive to read/write there is a script, naturally called "rw"
• You will need to run this before you change your passwords, then the homesync script to write changes to the drive
• To return the drive to its normal write-protected state the corresponding script is logically named "ro"
• openssh-server is pre-installed but not xrdp, so if you want to use remote desktop you will need to switch to read/write mode and install it

• There are adequate scripts and desktop links to help you get started in a matter of minutes

It's a reasonably pretty installation but most importantly it works.

What else can I tell you? I fell into the opportunity to beta-test this pool-of-pools simply because I had contact with the developers regarding MagicOS and was pointing one rig at their scrypt mining pool. I'm not a big-time miner by any means, I have 4 rigs with 3 GPUs apiece, all of them now hashing on MagicPool.

What experience do I have to make recommendations? Not a lot. I've tried quite a few pools since the beginning of the year but MagicPool offers the best service, profits and even software that I have found.

Is that enough to recommend them? Probably not. You should really give them a try for yourself and see what you think.

And really, what's it cost to point your rigs there for a day or two?

First review


The OS is just in one single word GREAT.


List of features:

• Based on Ubuntu GNU/Linux free and open software
• Best Catalyst AMD drivers for Radeon 7950 7970 280x 290x 6950 6990
• The best software for mining scrypt: sgminer already configured
• Support of scrypt, scrypt-n and x11!
• Support for GridSeed 3355 in dual mode
• Very easy to use! You will find many icons in the desktop to do all you need to do
• Automatic detection of hardware and configuration (first time it will self-configure and reboot automatically)
• ReadOnly filesystem, so no filesystem problems when power off suddenly
• Of course it does NOT need VGA/DVI connected to the GPU for mine!
• Full filesystem image provided, so it can be directly burned to an USB stick or a hard drive

Requirements:

• A USB stick or hard drive of, at least 8GB
• Your miner must support booting from USB (most of the current motherboards do)

It was litterly, writing it to an usb, boot it up. Click "configure miner" press 3 for X11, press 2 for a 79XX/280(x) preset. And then automaticly opens the config window.Save it, exit and config script does its thing.

I was mining in less then 2 minutes after boot. Never had such an easy setup for X11 mining. OS supports scrypt, scrypt N and X11 (which is the reason i downloaded) i highly recommend the OS. Its base on ubuntu which i'm little used to so it looks good, is lightweight and just works good

so at the end of the day. DOWNLOAD THIS!! Works way better then Bamt/litecoin bamt, PIMP etc. No fancy website but who needs that. Its setup and forget. Now only a option to install P2Pool would be great, But i want p2pool on my windows node running the wallet (darkcoin)

We have launched a new generation scrypt mining service which I would like to present you.

Magicpool.org automatically mines in the most profitable scrypt auto-switching pool.

Our system is constantly collecting information about the profitability of the current most profitable auto-switching altcoin pools.
Then our internal algorithm selects the best combination and point our stratum servers to it.

We run an intermediate service which ensures your workers always mine in the most profitable pools.
In addition, should any of the pools where we are mining fail (due to a DDOS attack or an internal problem),
our system detects it and immediately changes to the next most profitable working pool.
To prevent excessive switching we base our decision on rounds.

Check our profitability in the stats page: http://magicpool.org/stats.php

Our fee is as low as 0.5% during the beta period. If you begin mining with our 0.5% introductory offer then that will always be your base fee.

You can mine directly with your BTC address as username:
stratum+tcp://mine.magicpool.org:7777 -u BTCAddress -p x

For a single workers with more than 10MH/s, we have opened a dedicated stratum server
stratum+tcp://mine.magicpool.org:6666 -u BTCAddress -p x

Find more information and statistics here http://magicpool.org

We are also (as already published in this forum) offering a free operating system for mine: http://magicpool.org/magicos.php

I hope you enjoy it!



EDIT: Add colors and screenshot. Add second stratum server
