I just made an account on Bitfinex, want to learn the trading features (stop loss, trailing stop, etc.) and move my DRK once Mintpal re-opens.
Everyone should follow so we have a more active market there!

my only problem with that rocket ship is that it should be pointed east at a 45 degree angle for the gravity burn to get into orbit or it will loose all its delta V and just fall back to earth.
Maybe i play to much Kerbal Space Program though

nope, this ship is designed to fly far beyond the moon, it can start from 720 different angles, capt'n evan doesn't care about delta V, he use his own delta D to escape gravity
You are the man! I look forward to your future work! BTW, would you be good at logo design? We may need one to represent Darksend.... It would have to be scalable, to fit in small places, as well as large.
Could we have a logo like this:
A rectangular shiny gold and gold veined frame with the inside of the frame a glossy sparkly deep black with the logo written in white shiny mother of pearl and simple font letters. This would be a logo to challenge banks and existing financial institutions.
We probably don't need a logo for different features although it also probably wouldn't hurt to have different ones (same essentials)with different themes.
What we want to do for branding is do like Coca-Cola and focus on the brand recognition, that will become a moat.
I believe Raze created the current logo and much respect to him for that. Good job Raze.
Now because we are all part of creation and change is a part of creation, I challenge Raze and others to create a logo like the one described above. Do you think it would look good too? Would it look bad?
I ask Raze, and others, to never be content with the absence or lack of change and to decide which visualization they feel (we can't think this out, only feel) our brand recognition should be. People have been asking for marketing experts to help out…

Can we just switch the exchange from mintpal to bitfinex? Lets create there more volume and get some pro exchanges which at least do the annuncement before closing exchange for some days....

BItcoin 4-hour MACD just crossed to the upside on BTCe and is approaching crossover at Stamp.
Looks like the market stared down the abyss and decided to leave it for another day. We were only $9 away from last year's all time high - perfect technicals which may indicate a long term trend reversal.
Meanwhile, top trending Bitcointalk threads are discussing Darkcoin's propsects at overcoming Litecoin...battlestations.

I don't understand this 6h long almost no trade period in this 12h chart. Did the Bitstamp market really reduced to one whale? And when he/she goes to sleep, the entire market goes to standstill? lol
There were 5mil sell wall at $300 i gues it took 12 hours to demolish it. I saw 1mil was gone in 2 hours.

I am in talks with Evan about this issue and others, him or I will post more when it's all hashed out....hey, I never asked before, where in Canada are you from?

Okay, several people in this thread asked me to do power tests, and I finally got around to it. Unlike my first Kill-A-Watt, this one hasn't melted... yet. I used a slightly older version, cause I'm in the middle of a rewrite for one hash.
For the people who just don't give a fuck about the details and want the results, here: 12.84% more power for 34.34% more hash overall. You can stop reading now.
For the rest of you, the system has a 270X, 280X, 290X, and 7950, all at stock voltages. All power draw measurements were done at the wall.
Power draw at idle - that is, after I booted it and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes - is 123W.
Running the stock SGMiner 5 from GitHub (commit e481d67e59ad60edc69c026617219f8fae9d6c6e), the hashrate over all cards used was 16.60MH/s while pulling 740W from the wall.
Using the exact same miner code, cloned to a different folder to prevent mistakes, with my OpenCL, the hashrate was 22.30MH/s, using 835W in the process.
The configuration used for both tests follows - the GPUs, in order, are 270X, 290X, 7950, and 280X.
xintensity 128,64,128,128
worksize 64
engine clock 1155,1050,1155,1155
memclock 1500,1600,1500,1600
powertune 20,50,20,50
gpu-threads 2
gpu-fan 80
In closing, I'm glad people kept asking for this, because sitting down and measuring the average increase over most relevant AMD GPUs (Pitcairn, Tahiti, and Hawaii), has been slightly disappointing. My earlier estimates were based off of the hashrate of Hawaii (my 290X) only - seeing this average increase motivates me to do more of the time-consuming, difficult, aggressive optimizations rather than looking for more low-hanging fruit. Power use was also slightly higher than I expected - while I anticipated maybe 8% - 9%, it's actually nearly 13%. While that doesn't make the speed increase not worth it - nowhere near - it still could use some more experimentation and work.
