Guys what are the hash rates with an R9 290? I am getting about 2.5Mh per card but not sure if this is good or not.
Thanks

IMO BlackCoin could be serious threat to DarkCoin. As a community we should take it seriously:
1. If BC implement DarkSend, DRK could be doomed
2. BC multipool is going to use X11 (this is already happening, it is just a matter of days)
3. I think that more "average Joe" kind of people will consider DarkCoin just a copy of BC because they will firstly hear about blackcoin, which is a big hype nowdays, and they have great marketing(Apple is big copy-cat, but people find it innovative ).

Pumps (and dumps) happen in altcoin-land all the time. Stop panicking. And if BC tried to mine DRK, they wouldn't impact price much. The more hashes they contribute, the fewer total coins there will be per day.
+1
Epic pump... make no mistakes, epic dump will follow. There is nothing special warranting that price. Auroracoin anyone?
Pumpers have been slowly buying @ 500-1000 satoshi, then Twitter campaign for a couple weeks and careful buy support to pump slowly.
Only question, is it still a greed phase, or delusion:
Result: With careful sales pumpers can get 50-100 times return.
It's not all bad if the new floor ends up higher than before, just a lot of suckers loosing by buying at high prices and holding.
Looks like blackcoin is following the chart.
Its going down to affordable levels for those that missed out last time
And you have to remember darkcoin has a face, real person behind it...

There is a lot of crap being posted about BC here and I want to clarify. Its not being pumped on specualtion its being pumped because the multipool dumps crapcoins and buys blackcoin.
5000 BTC per day mining from the BC multipool? No. At best close to 1% of that. So >99% of the pump volume is unaccounted for.

Because they're not?
I love Darksend but you have to realize it will be replaced once someone starts a zero knowledge proof coin.
While I've been working on DarkSend I've been thinking about this alot. You know what the problem is with a zero knowledge proof? There's a secret key that will be attacked by governments and it will eventually be cracked. That will make every transaction that ever happened in that blockchain cleartext and allow every future transaction to also be viewed as cleartext. I'm going to venture to say the government is working on quantum computers and such crypto can be solved with shor's algorithm. When they do, they're not going to tell anyone. So it's a giant honeypot.
DarkSend is immune to such attacks, all involved crypto functions could be cracked and the mixing is still done off blockchain by the masternodes. Off blockchain means that the information is lost and that's the only way to secure it, you can't do it with cryptography.
I like this.
Wow Great!!!

You're going to trust your *money* to experimental research-level cryptography? There's a reason Nakamoto only used old well-vetted crypto in the BTC protocol. Oh, and to initiate the zero-knowledge accumulator, an RSA key has to be generated that we all need to trust is simply thrown away by the creator. Knowledge of the key allows manipulation of the currency. I love anonymity, but zero-knowledge crypto is an academic novelty, not a solution.

Why my GPU was always overheating when I mining? 
The key is to have an open case with a fan blowing inside. Risers also help a lot..

Overheating when mining Darkcoin? Do you have terrible airflow?

Hi All,
First post and apologies if this has already been covered. I was hoping someone could help me get to a good config for mining darkcoin.
I currently have a HIS R9 280X IceQ X2 and a Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X running on BAMT 1.6 using sgminer-sph 4.1.0. The cards combined are hashing at best at 3.2MHS and undervolted to 1.100 does this sound about right?
If anyone can advise whether I could get a better hash rate on these cards and whether they have undervolted the cards I would appreciate it.
Mark

I have two R9 280x's running in my rig @ 4.6mh (2.3mh/per card). I undervolted my cards for scrypt but it wasn't necessary for X11 for me at least, the power savings was in the 40% range already.

EDIT: One other thing, my cards never get above 60C and fans run at 40% (1900rpm).
Thanks very much for those settings now hashing away nicely at 4.6mhs. Its appreciated, let me know your wallet address I'll send some coin over.
No problem at all, no coins needed. If anything, direct them to the Darkcoin bounties that LimLims has put together: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5780031
Have you got settings for r9 270 ??

Why is no one talking about the fact the CPU miners posted on the front page are riddled with malware???
They're not. Some wallets can have malware in them, but almost all wallets will come up as having malware in them with certain online virus scanners. Malwarebytes, one of the most respected malware detection programs, marks wallets as PUPs which means potentially unwanted programs.
Everything Tante said applies to miners as well
They are always flagged as malware, even though they are not. To add on to this: the reason cpu miners are sometimes classed as malware is because botnets often install them onto unsuspecting computers in order to allow them to mine cryptocurrencies.

Site seems back up.
Sorry for the hassle. I was paying for two seperate servers. I moved the server to the more powerful one and am getting rid of the other. The host provider told me it would be seamless with no down time.

4.) We have something very special coming up in May that is nothing less than epic. We are keeping it a secret until the day of the event because we will be the first cyrpto-currency in history to do what we are planning to do. By the end of May everyone; including the supporters of BTC will look at this community in awe.
I really hope the surprise involves festive party hats...
This sounds interesting, but there is so little substance. It's hard to care when they don't really tell you anything other than "Watch this space".
I don't think BC is an enemy, tho. I think they are just another competing concept. At least they (as opposed to some other alts) have some interesting ideas (POS vs POW). It will be interesting to see how it all works out.
Maybe a piñata?

mannie, With multi pool, as I understand it, they direct the pool toward the coin that is currently making more money. I don't want to deal with other coins so much, especially if it's going to take me away from supporting Darkcoin. However, if the multipool turns all coins into the coin you want, in my case dark, then I might be persuaded to do it, LOL.
I just realized tomorrow is April 15th, doesn't look like Bitcoin died yet??

There is a lot of crap being posted about BC here and I want to clarify. Its not being pumped on specualtion its being pumped because the multipool dumps crapcoins and buys blackcoin. Blackcoin is not minable and thus they are proving that POS > POW. Its just that simple. Its not specualtion its fact. POS cant be forked with 51% attack or selfish miner since the stakeholders are the ones who confirm tx. So its just better. Bitcoin will die once the computers can 51% attack it and that is a very real problem. Darkcoin is amazing. It really is. I have been in it for a very long time. I was one of the earliest buyers. But Darkcoins time has not come yet. Also, its only going to be popular with a niche crowd. I love Darksend but you have to realize it will be replaced once someone starts a zero knowledge proof coin. So yeah... I believe in both. But its time for the multipool in BC to shine. And fast confirmation time IS better. I am writing software for Bitcoin that will do contracts and the annoying part is, I can not do decentralized exchanges in a speedy maner in Bitcoin. On Blackcoin I can. Even DRK is faster. So really Bitcoin will get bottlenecked and Blackcoin is playing this market like it should. A battle ground.
Thats just my opinion. Im not here for FUD. I am a holder of DRK too. I love DRK. I want it to succeed. My message to the DEVs is get your rear in gear and get Darksend out of beta before its too late.

That's ok, if you feel good about it, that's great. I'm not up on Blackcoin, I read about it, and wasn't interested. So I can only go by how I feel when I did check them out. In the end, nobody knows until they actually show something.
