I wanted to test the new '60 times faster' bitcoin 0.10.0 wallet against Darkcoins update times, I have created a dimensionless ratio of the amount of seconds of actual 'real time' it takes to update each hour behind of the wallet measured in (seconds)/(hour of update time behind). [kind of like a 'Q' factor to measure quality in physics]
And my weekend benchmark results are averaging out nicely 

Connection speed 100 megabits/second.
Machine 1 : SSD (500 megabytes/s up+down, SATA 3) 4.4 gigahertz i7 4820k, windows 7 64 bit.
Machine 2 : HDD (3 gigabits, SATA 2), 2.4 gigahertz Intel Duo E4600, Windows 7 64 bit.

Machine 1,SSD: Darkcoin (0.11.1.25)   Best update ratio = 1.346 seconds per hour of update
Machine 1,SSD: Bitcoin (0.10.0) =  Best update ratio = 3.304 seconds per hour of update
Darkcoin is 2.4 times quicker than bitcoin

Machine 2,HDD : Darkcoin (0.11.1.25) = Best update ratio = 3.817 seconds per hour of update
Machine 2,HDD : Bitcoin  (0.10.0) = best update ratio = 26.14 seconds per hour of update
Darkcoin is 6.9 times quicker than bitcoin on traditional 3 gig sata hard drives of average cpu spec.

Observations:
The cpu of the HDD machine maxs out at 100% with bitcoin, indexing goes very slow especially on the first run from cold start and gives spurious update times (Darkcoin is totally stable at 40% CPU)
Darkcoin update times were statistically closer together and more stable especially on the HDD.

Conclusions:
a) Fast modern machines and solid state drives work well with the bitcoin faster hop times but older machines do not like it at all, and use too many resources bottle necking the data transfer.
b) Bitcoin blockchain length is too large for older,slower machines (still most of the world, as not everyone's 'old' machine is a 2012 iMac like Gavin Andresens!)

So does Darkcoin now hold the world coin record for update times? The excellent Dev's have nearly broken the 1 second per hour of update barrier 

Ironically Mr Andresen is campaigning to have a larger blockchain!
“The old code would spend about 600ms CPU time per hop propagating blocks with already-seen transactions, this new code will spend under 10ms.”

Thanks, Nocturnaldemon!

Loll

Darkcoin lead the cryptoworld, Every coin use Dark feature ... I feel dark like i have feel bitcoin, with no doubt . Everyone use darkwave to retarget mining difficulty since a long time now,many use x11 ... darksend and instant x will fallow soon,too much innovation here.

who can't buy at 3,50$ because is not enough 'serious' or fall in FUD will buy at 5$,10$,20,50,100...maybe more than 1000$?

lets see how enough serious it is  

I think with network of master nodes, Darkcoin has more advantages over Bitcoin.

Darkcoin is coming, and yeah, it's really "cryptic"!  

Something you won't believe is possible.

And with a current DRK price of $3.40, these 421.27948203 DRK donated thus far are worth $1,432.35 or 57.29% of the monies needed. Good progress. I will add more to what I've donated already, once we reach 80%

4hr MACD flirting with the positive Green candles, First time since 2nd March...

Great article! I so look forward to the future...

Thanks, and it's 2500$ not 3500$.

Get ready!

You should try harder, I can't hear you...

"I'm going to troll their thread and put this"
Tearz wasn't smart, he couldn't resist.
What can I answer him when he insists?
Welcome, my friend, meet ignore list!

 

1) squash some bugs (done)
2) play with troll (done)
3) squash some more bugs (in progress)

 

Bump. This will help our cause considerably. Great material for the DAG and for anyone who would like to explain Darkcoin in a concise way.

Trying to get some #DarkLove for you from the Twittersphere:

How is he gonna accept 'skassuzi', shouldn't have counted.

Awesome!  That's exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks for confirming this, Evan.

For laughs  
Most searched for keywords of cost value per state.

Am confused,do breast lifts come before or after breast implants ? And nose and face lift are adjacent, kinda ironic they're in neighbouring states, there appears to be a connective pattern  

There is some localised dumping going on right now but it's not really impacting on the 4-hour chart. We may at least go stable or see some buying.
