Aw heck, I misspelled Clyde!  Oh well they're only cows....right?  LOL

Spoetnik, I really don't think this coin is profitable to mine if you want immediate rewards.  I think the reason so many people are mining, which is terrific, is because they believe the coin will be very valuable once DarkSend is completed, and many of us are excited to see what Evan comes up with next.  We see a lot of future development in this coin happening, Evan has dedicated himself to it, and we've seen how fast he can come up with solutions.  The beta versions of DarkSend are working really well, but he wants to improve it, make it better, so it's taking longer than it absolutely had to I'm sure, but then again, I know he's making it really awesome.

So that's probably the reason people are mining it even so the prices aren't reflecting the difficulty. I absolutely love the idea of having my wallet be as private as possible.  Personal finances are something that I feel we have a right to keep private.

Gosh, see? we're still missing the Gpu miner links on the front page, the guys are so busy!  But there is a link to mining hardware for Darkcoin, which is all about Gpu's so it isn't hare to figure out there must be a GPU miner for the coin.  In fact, people ask about it all the time, and they get a link pretty fast usually.  I'll ask Ape again to put it on page one...

Oh one more thing, a page or so back, eduffield (Evan) said they'd start posting announcements on our forum;

https://www.darkcointalk.org/forums/official-developer-thread.15/

And they've begun to do so!  I think we're slowly trying to migrate to that forum 

I just got my kill-a-watt that I ordered to play with. I plugged my rig into it, turned it on, and let it idle at the desktop for a while. The idle wattage was bouncing between 105 and 120 watts. I then started up the cpu miner, on an i5 4670k @ 4.5 GHz, and it ran at 182 watts. I then fired up sgminer on my 270x's, an asus dc2-270x and a sapphire dual-x or something like that, and it only went up to 330 watts. That seems a little too good to be true doesn't it? Only 148 watts to run two 270x's? I then ran a scrypt coin just to see what wattage it would pull and it went up to 490. I just wanted to say, X11 is great   I'm using even less energy than I thought! Though I have a feeling I'm not using the meter right for some reason  

hmm its working ok i guess but Vertcoin is 2x + more profitable to mine even while using more hardware on Dark coin for me. (what i was mining already)
and that ain't good because over time VTC has been dropping more and more getting harder to mine etc and yet it's far more profitable.
I based that on calculations with a 7950 gpu and a haswell 4770k cpu on Dark coin vs a 7950 and an nvidia 550ti on Vertcoin.
and based on pool estimates with both running similar pool code that i have found to be very accurate at guessing earnings on VTC
I think darkcoin is getting hammered.. a lot of miners mining

KnC Titan might end up being 300 Mh/s to 375 Mh/s. Scrypt is so screwed.

And on the bright side....Darkcoin is the new home for ex-scrypt miners 

Thanks for posting that link by the way i am curious how profitable this is many other coins are getting slaughtered.
so i don't have too much to mine with but do i mine Dollhairs or Flappy coin ? or lol
And like i have said millions of times when a coin goes on all the exchanges it's too late to complain to stop it and i consider it fair game..
how different this coin is debatable i think and i have watched scammmy shit go down with gpu miners at launch endlessly.
regardless it's here and it sure as hell is not as bad as most coins out there i gotta give em that lol

I still think the name is good but for the general public nope.. it should have had a name that is geared towards the mom and pops out there to accept it as a currency.
I can't see Grandma getting into using a coin called Darkcoin or VirusDollar or SatanBucks or MaskedIntruderCoin lol

I still find it sleazy this has been paraded around as a CPU ONLY coin with no gpu miners on page one but cpu miners linked and that CPU coins list i mentioned etc.

I am not a programmer, but I believe nHeight is block number, Diff is the difficulty, 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2) this is the calculation with x= difficulty, that sets the payout and that's about all I can say, LOL

And I believe nSubsidy is the amount paid out for the block.

So I believe this is the section of code that calculates payout amounts

while understanding the code, can someone please explain what is this...

   int64 nSubsidy = 0;
    if(nHeight >= 5465) {
        if((nHeight >= 17000 && dDiff > 75) || nHeight >= 24000) { // GPU/ASIC difficulty calc
            // 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2)
            nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 25;
            if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5;
        } else { // CPU mining calc
            nSubsidy = (11111.0 / (pow((dDiff+51.0)/6.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
            if (nSubsidy < 25) nSubsidy = 25;
        }
    } else {
        nSubsidy = (1111.0 / (pow((dDiff+1.0),2.0)));
        if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
        if (nSubsidy < 1) nSubsidy = 1;
    }

& how does it work.

Darkie, Darky, Darkens, Darkduffie

The network hash rate is like wow 

I love the name Sarah, I approve   

A lot of that is already written about at the other forum, http://www.darkcointalk.org   It's growing with quite a few tutorials.  we might need to make a separate section just for tutorials perhaps

Satoshi Litoshi and now how about...

Duffie?

Using the significant of DARK in italian language I would rather say: SCUROSHI

Like it?? Donate. Appreciate it

A Saroshi! I like it 

Couldn't agree more. Technology and innovation has made our world smaller and done away with so many barriers. We here could be playing an ever so small role in making the world better by offering a superior aternative to fiat. But this alt world seems plagued by swindlers and opportunists. I'm hoping beyond hope that Darkcoin can break through, not just as an investment but for a better way of commerce. Kind of idealistic I know. But I try to keep it to a minimum.

The alt world is a veritable minefield. Every week is a new controversy over some theft or scam. Can we set up an official place where new alt investors can come to get legit help. Kind of the ABC's of what to do to get started safely and securely. One stop shopping for all potential Darkcoin needs. How to mine. Where to trade. Updates on exchanges that are not safe. Everything about wallets. How to keep your DRK stored safely. At present it's so scattered. And if it was also translated in several languages. Well organized and easy to navigate. If this could happen I would want to help make it reality. And it would reduce the barriers to entry for thousands who are skeptical of dipping into an unknown.

I apologize if this is already been talked about, if it has I am unaware. This is IMO far more pressing than any marketing. It's a service that the non cryptocurrency world is desperately needing. And Darkcoin could accomplish it and enter the mainstream as a positive leader and not just for nefarious underground technogeeks.

I use this XFX 280X, 1.9 ~ 2.0MH/s
