I decided to celebrate enforcement by chucking some hashing power at the darkcointalk pool.

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.

Those power to hash figures aren't that great, you could do much better with a little underclocking...

How long would it normally take to see 100% at drk.mn?
I guess ~24h since the last incorrect block

I see enforcement is activated. Hardfork that went smoothly ?
With this news and Bitcoin about to blast back through 340 on the way up suddenly yesterday's massive grey cloud seems to be giving way to "hope and reconciliation" as the Pope likes to say. (And as I write this, 969, 25, 11, 103, 203 BTC shots have just pushed the BTC price to 345 on Stamp. Half a million dollars spent on cryptocurrency on a single exchange in the space of 2 and a half minutes folks. Make no mistake - a good portion of that will be spilling over in our direction.
Add to that, DRK about to 7 on Bittrex as far as I can see. Pulling away from the competition - see my and Coins101 posts on the Bitcoin trending threads today which have since been endorsed as the "right answers" by the original poster: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9101363

Anyone else having trouble withdrawing from Xhash?

Bought some DRK today... I think the BTC rally will see some significant investment coming back here..

This is history, after trying to fork since the last few months ... ;o)

Wow, thanks Evan. BTW, how is the network handling it?
Looks like difficulty dropped to 1849, if those whores don't realize for a while, we might all earn a little extra ;P

we are congratulate "darkcoinoboxru" for the last non-masternode block ever.
may you mine in peace for some days till you find out that your blocks will be rejected from now on.
edit: thx evan!
