TreasureQuarry's reliable server is based in Dallas, Texas in the USA.
It's quick and east to start mining at TreasureQuarry's Digitalcoin pool. There's no need to "sign up" as your earnings go straight to your wallet.
Just use the following settings for your miner:
Mining address (url) (remember to include the port number after the colon)
http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810
Username:
A unique address from your Digitalcoin wallet on your computer, for example my mining address that I use on this pool is DCa5N2VGwBHS3LGA8Zy3VSwMHkYW7ucgwb (don't use this particular address otherwise your earnings will go to me). Please do not use an exchange address or online wallet address.
Password
Anything you like - this is unimportant with P2Pool
Therefore, using with pooler's cpu miner (source code available from https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer), as an example, use:
minerd -o http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810 -u YOURDIGITALCOINADDRESSHERE -p x
Choosing your psuedo-share difficulty
To get a good representation of your hashrate on the pool's graphs, and also to possibly reduce your DOA rate, adding the following to the end of your digitalcoin address (including the + sign) is likely to help. Just find your nearest hashrate from the table below:
Hash Rate
(KHash/s) Difficulty
5 +0.00000582
10 +0.00001164
50 +0.00005821
100 +0.00011641
250 +0.00029103
500 +0.00058207
750 +0.00087310
1000 +0.00116414
2000 +0.00232828
4000 +0.00465656
8000 +0.00931312
For example if you 're mining at 40 KHash/s, use:
minerd -o http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810 -u YOURDIGITALCOINADDRESSHERE+0.00005821 -p x
This will make your miner report when it finds "pseudo-shares" of a certain difficulty (you'll still need to find real shares for payments to start). Once you do find a true share, payments will start going straight to your wallet as soon as the p2pool finds blocks. Due to the way p2pool's PPLNS (pay per last N shares) works, the payments may seem to start slow but will then build up to reach a peak and reasonably steady rate.
You can view statistics at http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810/static/ , and graphs at http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810/static/graphs.html . Your own graph will show on the graphs page under the heading of your digitalcoin address.
Pool fee is just 1% which you can confirm at any time at http://digitalcoin.treasurequarry.com:8810/fee
If you've got any questions, please feel free to ask at http://digitalcoin.co/forums/index.php/topic,775.0.html which I'll be using as the official suport thread for the Digitalcoin pool.
Happy mining
