I see that jondow's post was removed.

As you might now I worked on magi-retro for more than 100 hours ( you have them in video XD ).
Some of my work has been picked up by jondow by doing some experiments on his own repos.

In addition to that work he is trying to maintain the wallet updated to newer OS such as Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and so on.

Look, given what happened with the xzutils backdoor code I wouldn't download any binary wallet.
I would only build it itself checking what the different new git added commits are doing.

So... I don't advise you to download the binaries but to build them yourself. If builds don't work for you because documentation is not good enough please open an issue.

So this is our software fork of the magi codebase.

I know that jondown tried to apply a commit so that private keys are not controlled by anyone. This is different to the old days where joelao95 was on control of these keys. However he saw some problems with that approach and had to remove it. Hopefully he can reapply that in the future.

I might keep you updated about this non official magi codebase from time to time.

After more than 101 hours of work Magi-Retro project is finally complete.

Magi-Retro project original objective is to recreate the history of Magi coin actual repo but coming from its actual older repo which seems to be peercoin.

Topics:

• Magi history
• Magi based on crypto projects source code
• Random rambles about the project
• About virtual commits
• How to create virtual commits
• How to put all of the commits together
• Advice on resuming Magi development
• Media

It would be nice if you could point any new future developer that wants to resume Magi development to Magi-Retro so that all of this work is worth of it.

Thank you!

Donations are welcome (check on the description of the videos linked on Media section) but do not expect me to rebase MagiCoin onto newest Peercoin codebase in return.

I am forking MagiCoin all the way up from old PeerCoin codebase.

This is a personal project in order to learn what are the differences between PeerCoin, MagiCoin and all of the altcoins from around that time.

The current status (need to be read from right to left) is the following one:


Feel free to watch me crafting many fake/virtual commits and probably some other related Magi development on Youtube:
