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.  

Here is my sgminer-sph.conf:

Code:
{
    "pools": [
        {
   "poolname" : "P2Pool",
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://cryptohasher.net:7903",
   "user": "",
   "pass": ""
        },

        {
   "poolname" : "P2Pool (backup)",
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://66.211.20.245:7903",
   "user": "",
   "pass": ""
        }
    ],
    "auto-fan": true,
    "gpu-fan": "40-100",
    "temp-cutoff": "90",
    "temp-overheat": "85",
    "temp-target": "75",

    "worksize": "256",
    "xintensity": "100",
    "thread-concurrency": "8192",
    "lookup-gap" : "1",
    "expiry" : "1",
    "gpu-threads" : "1",
    "vectors" : "1",
    "shaders" : "2560",
    "gpu-dyninterval" : "7",

    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1",

    "failover-only" : true,
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "no-submit-stale" : true,

    "queue": "0",
    "scan-time" : "1",

    "kernel" : "darkcoin",
    "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"
}

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.

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 ).

People pump BC because of speculation, not because any real value/use, and people keep buying just because they don't want to miss it, just in case.... until dump starts. Once a few big whales dump at once, people will panic, and the coin will recover from some of those panic dumps, until the hype is not enough to keep it up.

Coins without a real reason for existence end up dying, and BC doesn't have any real life feature, just speculation.

Personally I think BC is pumped as a laundry for hacked BTCs.

Cryptsy top 9 volume:

BC/BTC    BlackCoin    5558 BTC   
DOGE/BTC    Dogecoin    713 BTC   
LTC/BTC    LiteCoin    417 BTC   
ZET/BTC    ZetaCoin    312 BTC
VTC/BTC    VertCoin    118 BTC   
AUR/BTC    AuroraCoin    106 BTC   
ZEIT/LTC    ZeitCoin    45 BTC
DRK/BTC    DarkCoin    41.4 BTC
NXT/BTC    Nxt    36.3 BTC

Yeah, sure 5558 BTC, >10 times the BTC/LTC volume. Ok. Someone had a couple thousands BTCs around and said yeah let's throw them on blackcoin...

My guess is that most of these BTCs of the last few days (let's call him primary buyer) are probably "problematic" to cash out for the "owner" and is thus pumping or even trying to buy an altcoin... but not any altcoin: BC which is also prone to 51% monopoly advantage for the owner (!) - lol. But it would be somewhat irrational if the 51% controller undermined the network as he would lose himself through a blow to the currency's reliability. Unless he doesn't care.

The buying pattern is irrational with no serious periods of adjustments to buy back more for cheaper by panicking "oh it's gonna fall soon" guys...  and I kind of remember our own pump to 0.008 that exhibited similar irrational behavior, and it had ...330 stolen BTCs. You just don't spend thousands of BTCs like no tomorrow if you've earned them with mining, trading, investing etc or if you bought them with fiat, knowing full well that you are creating a bubble that you will be unable to dump to other parties. It's a sure loss (unless you know the future and it's ...BLACK Tongue)

Isn't the pure POS faster? It's basically very energy efficient while being very fast and secure. Immune to 51% attacks etc. Or am I wrong? I don't mean that the current valuation is justified, simply that it's not a bad coin at all imo.

The whole issue about being faster is being taken away by payment processors. That is where the main sticking point is.

They are now starting to process customer payments instantly. The waiting time becomes a back-end issue. So speed is not really that attractive.

Bitcoin's main problem is scale. It will soon reach capacity and miners will be able to charge a sliding fee scale to process transactions quicker than others. Like charging for internet bandwidth to get your video content into homes at peak times.

I think a multipool that auto-sells for DRK would be perfect, it'd save me a job anyway Tongue. And it would do wonders for the price I'm sure, which right now is just too stable for my liking (which isn't a bad thing though!)
+1 talking of that for so long now. where are all the pool devs??? $$$

Could it be ChaosITec secret project?  Wink

I would bet 1drk for that Wink


Paging Chaositec! I really want to know how it works for POW though, because for DRK it's weird, if people mine the multipool instead of the actual DRK pools, hashrate goes down and reward goes up... which means DRK becomes the most profitable to mine again or something... where's the balance?

Multipool floated a few pages back.


1. DarkGravityWave release
2. Mutlipool which pays out in Darkcoin
3. Come out of DarkSend beta
4. Hackfest to try and break Darksend (zerocash will probably lead the charge)
5. Dark Wallet to confirm they are officially giving up
6. GMaxwell to acknowledge DarkSend is looking pretty close to e-cash vs. Bitcoin
7. Satoshi to move some $100m of coins through DarkSend, maybe just $1 would do it
8. Media to go to town on rights and wrongs of DarkCoin, privacy, e-cash, etc.

Hello all
I really like darkcoin, so I am looking the best settings for my mining rigs.
Anyone got good settings for r9 270 and r9 280x ?
Kind Regards
novymivo

My 11 r9 270's get about 1.18Mh/s @45-50C with this conf on sgminer-sph with BAMT 1.6:
Code:
{
    "pools": [
        
        }
    ],
    "auto-fan": true,
    "gpu-fan": "40-70",
    "temp-cutoff": "85",
    "temp-overheat": "80",
    "temp-target": "75",

    "gpu-engine": "975",
    "gpu-memclock": "1250",

    "worksize": "256",
    "intensity": "13",
    "thread-concurrency": "6336",
    "gpu-threads": "2",
    "gpu-powertune": "20",
    "lookup-gap": "2",

    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1",

    "failover-only" : true,
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "no-submit-stale" : true,

    "queue": "0",

    "kernel" : "darkcoin",
    "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"
}

I can up the core to 1030 but I prefer zero worry, cool temps, low fanspeed, and 100% stability.

For a 280 up the TC to 8191/2/3 and whatever clock speeds you're happy with.

Good luck!

Thx for feedback but i got already :
r9 270 - 1300-1350 khash
r9 280x- 2200-2300 khash
And still looking for better settings, anyone ??
??
thx
Haven't been able to get over 13xx kH/ps with my 270's no matter what I've tried. Then again, I haven't bothered messing with the voltages, I've heard of people increasing the voltage cap in the bios and OC'ing them quite a bit. You'd need good cooling though.
Hello
I didn't change the voltages at all Smiley
My setting are :
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k darkcoin -o XXXX -u XXXX -p XXXX --thread-concurrency 8193 -I 19 -g 2
core clock -1110-1120
mem clock -1000 ( energy saving) Wink
I know some people getting around ~1500 khash from r9 270, just looking for better settings.

Is there any way to figure out a multipool for POW coins?

I was thinking the same.  After seeing what the blackcoin multipool has done to the value and interest in BC.  It has adds so much buying pressure it bumps the value so much.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work for DRK or POW coins.  There are multipools for BTC, which is POW.

It just mines other coins, and sells them, and buys up all the DRK.  Easy.

It would actually make perfect sense for DRK, as it's so bloody hard to mine right now, people could multipool mine it, and get a bunch of coins.  It would buy up all the cheapest DRK coins, time and time again, bumping the price.

Now who's smart. Go make a DRK multipool! haha.

The Future Of Work
Is Darksenda Dark-only feature, or It can be integrated in others coins ?
What I read, is the darksend will be open source, so may Darkcoin will not profit of the improvement if another coins copy it ? no ? Sad

No worry, they can't clone eduffield  Wink He is not open source

I just totally love this comment!  LOL  Perfect Aleix!

Also, it's not so easy to integrate into another coin.  Easiest thing to do is to clone it outright when it's finished, but then if you have a developer that doesn't know how to fix possible issues, your coin is sunk.  So this won't necessarily be easy to clone and keep alive either  Wink
