HA!HA!HA!HA!

Good luck with that....
They are closing down operations.

Just go through the unlock procedures. I did it last night, just confirm your details that are on file and hey presto-chango! the account is unlocked

I just needed to dust a few 0.0000001's of crap-coins that have been hanging around in my wallet for years.

Anyone seeing problems with peers in the wallet?

Just noticed today I'm only getting connected to a single peer (joe's main one)

Before you ask, Yes I've got listen=1 in my conf and been getting peers in the past. Wink

It might be my system, it's been acting odd lately, so I'm going to a wipe and reinstall of Linux later today or tomorrow.
My connection has dropped a few times today as well.

I'm connected to 7 peers, which still isn't massive - total network height is 289180, so I'm pretty sure I'm not on a forked chain

You could always add some more 1.4.6.2 nodes using the following link

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xmg/#!network

I had the same issue when I was running 1.4.6.1

Thanks

Think it was just my connection playing up. I restarted everything and left it for a few hours before starting the wallet.

I've now got 114 connections.


Can you tell me how have 114 connections? 

by having "listen=1" in the "magi.conf" file and a good connection Wink

But I've disabled it at the moment due to the Idiot attacking the chain.

With Listen=0 your wallet will only get info from specified nodes. I'm only using Joe's node to try and stay off a split.

Looking for the answer.   
 What is the "listen=" command in the Magi config?  When set to "listen=o" I have 2 may 3 active connections to the Magi network in my wallet.  When changed to "listen=1", I have 10-13 active connections.  I saw it mentioned her to have it set to 0.  What is the correct answer, what does the command do?  Thanks in advance

listen=  is used to allow or restrict which other nodes in the network your wallet can connect to.

With "listen=0" you will only connect and listen to any node specified in your magi.conf file

At the moment most people have "listen=0" and only a single "connect" entry of "connect=104.128.225.215"
This address is the "master" node (master in this case being Joe's the Developers node) their wallets will only send/receive block information from that single node.

The problems this past 10 days or so was due to a split in the blockchain and so having a single node for everyone to connect to helped get everyone back on the correct chain.

Personally I think the only way to discourage the "High Mhash" whales is to have a Net hash limit at which rewards are fixed at zero.

This could be based on the average number of miners divided by net hash (If it goes over this then rewards are zero.)
then the decrease in rewards at ether side of the "sweet spot" can be modified so that it's not so harsh, as any whales would make the network hit the Zero limit quickly. 

Or have a hard-coded rate limit fixed into the system.

Why does reward have to proportionate to hash power? E.g. have it more of a "Lottery" with Miners than "who solves this mathematical problem first". This way there is incentive to use the "lightest" or most "power efficient" devices, while still keeping to the (at least I thought) goal of "everyone being equal".  This may kill pools, but IMO they aren't helping the distribution of the Magi network, just consolidating it into various entities.

Wouldn't it be nice if a Pi 0 could "mine" (and get a reward)? For $20 I can make one that is solar powered, network connected, and a battery backup.

Maybe make block time / rewards equal to the number of nodes supporting the network? The more nodes, the higher the rewards across the network?

I tried with a Pi Zero (had to use Raspbian). Was doing about 0.5 khases/second. Not worth it.
i was getting 0.72 per RpiZero Wink
4 of them running did give a nice 2.8Khash/s

Hi

Tried one of those pool mining sites last year and got around 0.02 But my system was very underpowered (nvidia ION) and I gave up.

I've now got a OK pc for mining and I went back to that site and started mining again.

I forgot what program I used to generate my wallet and can't find any wallet programs listed in any of my backups! (might have been a java based wallet program!)

I realised this just as i sent the 0.02 BTC's to that wallet

So is the 0.02 bitcoins basically lost?
