Should update the original post mentioning moolah. Darkcoin is accepted there. It is primarily a store front for people, and you can pay in whatever coin you like (that is accepted) and moolah transfers it for the merchant. They will also have a fiat/DRK exchange. That is big news imo.
Also, I have a question, what are the biggest pools for DRK?

EDIT: I have removed the bit where I say Hirocoin is conventional compared to Darkcoin. I hope this improves the situation for you.
Oh, I don't think you have to worry about us dear

BTW, the DarkCoin clone, Hirocoin...... a lot of people over there are excited by the fact that it uses X11, and its low power usage.
Clearly a big selling point over here also, but they seem to be doing a good job at marketing the X11. I see X11 written around the place a lot more than here. Just a thought
... As it seems that X11 is getting a decent amount of attention now.

... As it seems that X11 is getting a decent amount of attention now.I'm the developer of Hirocoin and I want to help position X11 as the next home of GPU miners. I remember what the GPU miners moving from SHA-256 to Scrypt did for Scrypt based coins like Litecoin. There will come a point where Scrypt ASICs are common and GPU miners will need to move on. Making X11 the standard to move to will be huge news for Darkcoin and Hirocoin. Plus it will bring better tools for our coins.
By the way, Hirocoin is more of a Litecoin clone that uses X11. Darkcoin offers anonymity and unique difficulty handling where Hirocoin is your conventional offering but done well. Check GitHub for the thorough work that went into it.
Launching Hirocoin helps solidify X11 place in crypto. If Darkcoin is the sole user of X11 it will not get the tractions it needs. Darkcoin is successful and I plan to make Hirocoin successful to, this will bring more attention to X11 and more coins using this solution. Now is the time to push Evan's X11 to secure long term success for Darkcoin.
I don't understand why X-11 has to be "solidified"?

guys can i mine cpu and gpu on the same pc??? have 280x gigabyte and i5 ..
is it profitable to mine with cpu???
thnx
is it profitable to mine with cpu???
thnx
Yes, I mine with my 2* HD7950 and i7-4820K (487 kh/s).
For the CPU check : http://wiki.darkcoin.fr/index.php?title=Installer_Minage_CPU_Windows
I was trying to mine with my cpu as well as gpu but as soon as I started my cpu my miner crashed so I tryed another coin with only cpu but still crashed would this be something to do with my drivers
Sounds more like something went wrong with compiling the code, or more likely, choosing the wrong version? cpuminer1.2c and cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes are the choices, and the later one is optimized for whatever avx-aes is, lol.

interesting project
I do not know if it is planned but a distributed/decentralized marketplace on top of the protocol would be a killer app
+1I do not know if it is planned but a distributed/decentralized marketplace on top of the protocol would be a killer app
...and then we will not have to put our trust in exchanges, and pay for their lack of security measures as we had with c-cex and poloniex.
This would have to be a huge group effort with other coins, or perhaps a whole new wallet type that people 'mine' for fees, but yes, a wonderful idea and definitely asked before. If Evan comes out with a list of future things to work on, and it's missing, it needs to be brought back up
I just started a thread on the subject at the darkcointalk forum:
https://www.darkcointalk.org/threads/list-of-future-development-ideas.89/
Please add any other ideas or comment

its funny how people that learned about bitcoin last 3 months keep talking about the price every single day. Why do you expect to get rich in a day, week or month?
Right now this coin is innovative, with probably a brilliant and dedicated dev but has nothing to offer except speculation since YOU CANT BUY ANYTHING WITH IT RIGHT NOW
How do you expect it to gain value without services, goods etc accepting it?
And because people believe in it they just keep it and dont even trade at exchanges. So with such small volume there is no gain of course even at exchanges...
I sold my Darkcoins in order to buy cheaper, which i did, and people here started talking about dumping. Its not dumping to trade the coin! its how trading goes. I gained 10% only with 2 trades that people considered dumping...
You should make services and companies accept it. Send emails. Even with dogecoin you can buy many things. With darkcoin right now you cant. And probably you wont until darksend is open source.
tl;dr: Make services, sites, companies, exchanges accept Darkcoin and it will flourish. Sell stuff for Darkcoins.Make people accept donations in Darkcoin. Trade Darkcoins on exchanges. Or just keep posting about price droping. The coin is good. Except if dev totally fails, which can happen of course, i trully believe it can reach easily 10m marketcap when a few sites starting accepting it as payment.

Yes these are valid points to consider. But, instead of sitting back and waiting for merchants to accept Darkcoin we should bring Darkcoin to them. We can do this very easily if someone has experience coding and is willing to put in a little work.
1. We can create a wordpress Darkcoin plugin for Woocommerce or Commerce Wordpress themed checkouts. (Similar to what Bitcoin has). If this existed it would drive a lot of merchants to use Darkcoin.
2. We can create a stand-alone API payment plugin for standard merchant sites that do not use Wordpress or Woocommerce.
Does anyone have experience doing this kind of stuff that would want to take this on? Maybe there can be a bounty set for this by the person who controls the promotion fund.

We are doing serious business here. Evan & co are creating a long term viable anon currency.
Most of us are not interested in short term speculation issues
Exactly, and the low prices are really good for the coin, because as people find out about it, it is far from too late to "get in on it" as long as your interests are to see it to success and not to pump and dump. I guess nobody here has been successful at manipulating this coin, though lord knows people have tried! To the moon! LOL. We just sit here going, yup, ok, go back to your Legos dear

darkcoin price chart is going down steadily to oblivion. this coin is not only bad for miners ( low profitability) its also horrible for investors.

what is even MORE retarded is its 400+ difficulty.

Difficulty compared to scrypt is around 130, price is rather stable compared to any other altcoin especially looking at those useless clones and premined shitcoins
It's funny how people forget that the primary goal is to create a currency, which is much better when it is stable.... Would you want to pay 1 BTC for a cup of coffee at Starbucks today?
Also, someone slap me if I'm way off base here, but if the difficulty keeps going up, doesn't that imply that more people are mining it, increasing the net hash rate? That hardly sounds like spiraling into oblivion.
You are correct sir.

LOL, then why are you here?
The difference in price has pretty much flat-lined for a long time, not dropped, not pumped, and I think that represents how stable this community is and the coin will be, even when the price starts to rise.

Ah yes, I love the taste of bitter miner-dumper tears. If you can't mine AND dump this coin for profit, then there is a God.
March 19, 2014, 10:30:41 AM
B) Email coinwarz to add Darkcoin with the profit formula or to do it automatically as a rough estimation of scrypt hashrate times three, without adding the X11 formula. Now, this could be good for coin exposure (as it is usually near max profitability) but there is a drawback: Attracting miners & dumpers.
No thanks
Let us mine while we still get lots of DRK

Profitability in what sense ? Mine and dump ?
No thanks ! I invest for middle-and long-term, I believe in DRK and don't care the slightest for its value right now as I anticipate its long-term value.
Hehe, kindly that remembers me of the very beginnings of bitcoin, there where two groups, those who mine-dumped and those who mine & hold no matter what.
I think thats perfectly fine as we need coins distributed cheaply.
True and thanks to that I was able to buy some more.

Two ideas:
A) Implement an agenda / tracker of minor issues that need fixing or enhancements that we want to see.
For example:
1. Change x-coin tray icon to darkcoin
2. Change block explorer logo
3. Change block explorer mention of XCO
4. Make a nice looking splash screen for the wallet (bounty?)
5. Fix the cpu miner links in the official website (1.2c is linked as AES/AVX) - proper links can be found in http://wiki.darkcoin.fr/index.php?title=Installer_Minage_CPU_Windows
etc, etc. And have it in some type of public document that can be tracked for outstanding issues so that some minor things can be ironed out.
