Missed a few posts before.
Firstly, repost the hard fork as already mentioned by jawitech.

I did spend some time and tried to figure out the CPU algo, but all have been done just under the range of my knowledge. People are talent; no one would know the capability other people can do. It's not my intention to hold firmly the CPU algo statement. PTS was arguing only CPU minable, and was awarding how many dollars for a GPU miner? Everyone knows that PTS is minable with GPU now.
Once upon a time, someone was suggesting me that, go for a CPU algo, finish the PoW mining and then going into PoS. That was right likely, but not all to me. Pure PoS is not right way I figured.
Wolf0, you're absolutely right (not the GPU part since not proved yet), that "just because no one bothers to spend the time on it" cause it's unprofitable. Let me extend the statement, the idea of GPU mining is neither profitable for now, nor profitable in the future even when magi gets into top. I encourage people to work on a GPU miner for magi, but surely up to you whenever you see a time coming with profits.
Wondering?... read the OP, or the coinssource article, evok3d did spend a lot time researching and writing before publishing the article:
http://www.coinssource.com/coin-magi-a-cpu-miners-dream-proof-of-mining-pos-ii/I've spent time on this, and the idea behind it worth of a try; I want to say magi is a coin CPU minable "ever".
I almost forgot to post the miner, for some people who may want to run it in computers with limitations, just use the "-e" option.
# m-cpuminer-legacyhttps://github.com/magi-project/m-cpuminer-legacyminerdlegacy -o stratum+tcp://pool_url:pool_port -u pool_user.worker -p password -t thread_numbers -e cpu_efficiency
This is none different from the regular miner, except that an option "
-e cpu_efficiency" is added, where cpu_efficiency is a number between 1 - 100, for example, 50 representing for 50% of CPU usage. A few instances:
-e 75 -->
-e 50 -->
-e 25 -->
-e 1 -->
