Hi all, I managed to set up minerd to CPU to mine for DRK, but is is a waste of time (5 hours and nothing), so I bought a graphics card to up my hash rate, but I seem to be having issues?

cgminer doesn't seem to be detecting my card?

I'm running linux mint 32bit, my graphics card is an GeForce GT 610.

How do I set up AMD-APP-SDK for my card?

Is there a really good "noob" friendly guide to setting up my graphics card to mine on linux? (I love linux, but it can be a pain in the ass installing software).

Many thanks in advance for any info to help a noob miner out

I know that it spilts each transaction up into certain decimals. But the amount an individual sends and receives can still be tracked.

Yes, but there is more to it than that, only I can't explain it. You should join the testing, it's always open to anyone. And my dreams are a bit tongue in cheek, having fun

I really don't know exactly how it all works, but it seems to work in testing and fast! I'm wondering if mined coins are included? There doesn't seem to be any delay in the combining of the amounts before they go out again.

I still think darkcoin is undervalued when compared to the competition.

For example: Worldcoin, Feathercoin, Megacoin , Infinitecoin, quark, novacoin are all in front of darkcoin which i don't see why they should be.

It is just down to relative maturity.

DRK is very young and has a number of phases to go through before it reaches comparable status.

I've read in several places that Darkcoin uses "X11" as a proof-of-work algorithm.
I don't understand if merely mean 11 different hash functions combined, or whether it is it a recognized / defined technology, or something else?
I'd love to read more about it and learn. If anyone can reffer me by posting some links or an answer about this, i'd appreciate. thnx.

It's 11 different algorithms that the developer named X-11 hence the original name of this coin, Xcoin. A good cpu computer can still hold it's own in the mining of this coin. Check out the first page, he lists them

So if I understand correctly, in a simple words- darkcoin hashes a so-called 'Merkle Tree' [i understood this from elsewhere] with 11 different hashes, one after the other?
If so, can you please throw in some logic/arguments why this is better than suppose having a merkle-tree of same hash function x11?
I'm sorry if you are pulling hair due to my lack of basics understanding, but I do want to learn in order to be in a position to promote and write about this for the avg. joe.
tnkx.

The @ss in me needs to correct you though, LOL, it's 0.0016 DRK/kh/day. Remember my formula? Your hash = not nearly enough? Your estimate is much closer to enough Tongue

Ha, oops, you're right. Meant to write 1.6 DRK / Mh / day.

Is there any mining calculator for darkcoin?

I wish we could be on coinwarz but they only have scrypt and sha-256

But though I don't know of a calculator, I can offer you this formula:

Your hash rate = not enough coins Cheesy

It's pretty much true for everyone Grin

This formula working for you?
Grin

Not really, it just shows me that I'm turning into an @ss which means it's time for bed, LOL Waiting for my graphics driver to install on my laptop, and it's taking forever!

TanteStefana, you make this thread so much more enjoyable to read. Cheesy

@avanda, I don't know of a mining calculator, but the official pool gives this payout estimation at the current difficulty:

kh/s: 50,499
drk/day: 81.416

You can extrapolate from there. Around 1.6 DRK / kh / day.

Thanks, I like the people on this thread too

The @ss in me needs to correct you though, LOL, it's 0.0016 DRK/kh/day. Remember my formula? Your hash = not nearly enough? Your estimate is much closer to enough Tongue

Thank you for fixing that, it was REALLY buggin me and I thought I was doing the math wrong for a second too, which was buggin me even more lol

So profitability seems to be less than 70% of multipools
I don't understand that actual price then Sad

I use the following method as my rough estimation:

Unconfirmed coins in the pool (=which is usually the past 5 hours of mining) X 4.8 (to make it 24 hours) = the number of coins per day based on the past 5 hours.

If you find it works for you, great. I think it works for me pretty ok.

Btw, TanteStefana,

I fixed the estimates, they should reflect a more real estimate on the new server :-)

awesome

I started up my Ubuntu again, but I'm still the smallest miner Sad

P2P The Planet!

Question in regards to zerocoin:

Also about the bloated block chain question, it would depend also on what block time they use. For example, 2.5 min block time will bloat the blockchain more than a 10min block time. If zerocoin use a longer block time, then this bloating issue won't even be much of an issue.

i bought it with darkcoins :-)

Awesome, good times!

I'm seriously hoping for a new roof on the house, LOL

My plan is sell some at $200 and fix the roof
Sell at $1200 and add to retirement fund, LOL. but lets face it, if it goes that high, could I get myself to sell? I'm not that strong or wise... Roll Eyes

dream on

without dreams, your nothing, at least she has dreams....

Lets come back down to reality for a second.

Zerocoin is around the corner, which doesn't suffer from the issue of being able to track amounts using coinjoin which is what Darkcoin is using. So that already means there is going to be a superior anonymous coin out there.

It also doesn't suffer from the issue of having to have 2 or more transactions occur at the same time for a darksend transaction to go through.

if you would at least try to read what this coin does, we wouldnt be having this conversation, yes, it does use elements from coinjoin, but there are several things included, that has nothing to do with coinjoin, go a few pages back, TanteStefana reposted a brief that eduffield wrote, read that, then we can continue..

besides, zerocoin, really needs to get shaped up, or else you will end with a VERY bloated chain

I know that it spilts each transaction up into certain decimals. But the amount an individual sends and receives can still be tracked.

you have to remember that he is working on each step, on step at a time
and from what i can remember, he is dead set on making it truly anon, so of course he knows about the posibility to track the split up amounts, so you can bet your coins on, he also has solutions for that either, now, or soon after.

Zerocoin is also a good contender for being a truly anon coin, but as i stated before, it still bloats the coin chain, so they have to find solutions for their problems as well, and besides no one isnt truly i the knowledge IF zerocoin will stay anon. or if their will be some attacks possible on that coin, since its a new mathematically proof. that, only time will tell.

the thing is people are still talking about zerocoin in theory. i've seen talk about zerocoin for awhile now. thing is...darkcoin exists and has been actively tested and is ready to roll out. zerocoin does not exist and is ready to be talked about some more :/
