I have i5 3550 not overclocked and get 288 khash/s

Yeah I may setup my CPU to mine DRK then as I only get like 30kh/s for Vertcoin.

Sorry, what's FPGA?

FPGA is running X11

I gave up on cloud mining a couple of months ago.  It was way too expensive.  I highly suggest not doing that, but rather buying the coin on an exchange instead.  But from home, it's still good to go

I don't know what you'll get on your i7, a hell of a lot more than I'm getting for sure, LOL. I have Pentium core2 duos and get about 20-25 kh/s on each core???

That's ok I could still mine Vertcoin with my 780Ti then. What kind of hash rates do you see with CPUs, for example I have an overclocked i7-4770K at 4.8GHz

what kind of hash rates do you get with this CPU cloud mining? Can this be setup on a Windows machine and is it only run on the CPU?

Unfortunately we don't have a Nvidia miner   We have several AMD miners though, check out the first post links Also, the cpu miner is very viable still, you can use them side by side.

 

Oh taaay ....

What miner software do I need for NVida and AMD, also what algorithm does DRK use. Right now I dabble with Vertcoin on Scrypt-N and get about 900 kh/s. How does that equate on DRK mining, ie coins per day at current diff?

Try following this guide for cloud mining, as well as mining with your PC: http://www.darkproxy.net/darkcoin-cpu-cloud-mining-guide.php

  

Of course ! Welcome!  Mine with p2pool, you can choose some nodes there http://drk.poolhash.org/

Hi guys, noob here:( Sorry for the dumb question but is DRK still minable? I am interested in dabbling with it and am not sure where the best place to start is.

Thanks,
Griff

I'm not really super smart and sadly I have some time constraints at present. I'm not that good of a coder either and mostly do networking stuff. I am making progress on some dark mining protocols off the existing P2pool software, but I couldn't take on a bounty for that deadline or even help with it at the moment due to having some other obligations.  

That'll be nice because my free amazon will eventually run out and I'll be looking for an alternative at that point   I've had it a while....

Totally get where you're coming from, don't get me wrong, but "let's hope it's not an achilles heel" are the words on the dying breath of every doomed security scheme since...forever.

I haven't looked into getting a MN running yet because the 14th was a ways off, but I think I'll get a few going this weekend.  In doing so I'll see if I can compile some good sources outside of Amazon and preferably outside the US and put a list here and on darkcointalk.

I guess that depends if your a business or a hobbyist ?  

Again, a secondary static IP address, encrypted DNS, VPN (optional) and I reckon your set - If you decide that running a Darkcoin master node is right for you as an individual.

- People get paranoid about running Tor relays, for example, I've run one from my 'home' network 24/7 for around 2 years without having any issues whatsoever.

The thing about 'anonymity' projects is that any log keeping actually makes you more liable to revealing those logs. Not keeping any logs and having no knowledge of any processed transactions or data is probably beneficial, perhaps over storage of the Bitcoin blockchain, for example. This is obviously dependent on your jurisdiction.

I'll be running Peerblock and/or Peer Guardian with some free and paid lists from iblocklist.com - in an effort to prevent my relay / node from being used by any 'bad' actors.

At last you can present that you are running your node in the interest of internet privacy and anonymity, as oppose to supporting any criminal activity and in fact put measures in place to prevent such activities, where possible.

Darkcoin is potentially the 'anonymous' eCash that Bitcoin claimed to be. In fact, using cash is still potentially more 'anonymous' than using Darkcoin!

I've committed cash to Amazon, so unfortunately, I won't be changing.  For better or for worse, I'm stuck

I don't see why you can't be just as safe if you set it up correctly, firewall it etc... and still use a remote wallet.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I've been trying to keep up with this thread but it's proven quite hard given the speed at which new replies are posted .
