NET HASH @ 6GH/s. It is amazing !!!  Wink

With pool.darkcoin.io down?

Still? Please use p2p from now on so you aren't at the mercy of these pool operators.

I'm having trouble with every pool, including p2p.  Got 5 pools in my config and can't mine at the rate my miner is capable of. It's locked onto the p2p pool but I get constant "Pool 0 is not providing work fast enough" and fluctuating hash rates averaging a little over half what it should be.  The p2p was down completely for a couple of days and prior to that it did work well for me.  It's back up now but not working like it did before.

I was thinking about this earlier, does anyone know how hot GPUs run mining bitcoin? If that runs cooler I would tend to think the extra power draw and heat is because scrypt pretty much rewrites the entire ram available as fast as possible over and over again, whereas Bitcoin/Darkcoin would only use a small amount of ram.

Curiosity got the better of me... below are some test results for 2 x HD7950.  Power is measured at the wall.  Idle power is 210W.

darkcoin
hashrate: 3.80Mh/s
temps: 52,57
power: 415W

bitcoin
hashrate: 1.21 Gh/s
temps: 69,76
power: 680W

litecoin
hashrate: 1.34Mh/s
temps: 73,81
power: 740W

This may not be a valid comparison because I don't know how to optimize settings for bitcoin.  All I did was fiddle with the intensity setting.  Does 605Mh/s for each HD7950 sound reasonable?
What config do you use for darkcoin?
For HD7950:
"kernel" : "darkcoin",
"gpu-engine" : "1150",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"intensity" : "16"

wow there is a lot of activity in this thread...  I go to sleep and when I wake up there's another 8 pages!

Lim my biggest issue is on my moniter (brighter) settings you can barely read the submit button on the post. My suggestion...keep the top banner as is, but make a shade of blue that contratsts with text more visibly. It's not easy to get this right, and I know for darkcoin you wanna keep the tone, just need to get things more readable is all. Regardless keep up the great work, we are all in this as a team, feedback is important Smiley

You're right, submit page does need work, good points. Smiley

Who just saw the huge dump and sell wall on c-cex. The cunt dumped from 23 down to 198 and put a 17btc sell wall at 20. Very annoying bullshit.

If I had some BTC I should buy the more than I can at 0.002... (now the wall is 12 BTC, I think it's not a problem)

The Future Of Work
Can you explain what to do to install it on bamt/linux?

Oh screwballs, that's for the cpu miner, lOL, hold on, I'll get the right one...

Just a quick cut and paste, on my Ubuntu, this is what I do for the latest version:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo git clone https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

cd darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

sudo chmod +x autogen.sh

sudo ./autogen.sh
Lol, too late Smiley

I was thinking the name was strange but... Smiley

sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

sudo make


And this is how I start it:

sudo ./minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drk.lotterymining.com:4444 -u Me.Worker -p Password


Too late Cheesy

Anyway, I'll do it again if you have the gpu-miner and then do a fresh install:)

I got an error with the apt-get install command: a file not found

I always need to do it as sudo or root, that might be the problem, I left it out in case your system doesn't require it. Oh, and look again, I updated it.  Grin

I apologize, I don't mean to be so harsh.  I understand you're volunteering your time and it really is appreciated.  You've created some beautiful work in this thread.

In short, dark color schemes just don't work for my eyes and the majority of people.  I know you've worked hard on it and the header is gorgeous, but I honestly feel dark color schemes will turn many away Sad

I get where you're coming from and I appreciate the feedback. I have to take everyone's feedback into consideration and it's not uncommon to have at least a fair % of people who aren't pleased with a given design. Having said that, if the theme is just painful to read for a reasonable subset of users, it needs to be changed. I like to do things democratically so maybe we can do up a few prototypes and call a vote if we can't sufficiently improve the existing one.

Best move for the moment would be to remove the subreddit style entirely apart from the logo. Then figure out what to do. Otherwise I suggest a move back to /r/darkcoincrypto for sure.

I'm still having trouble with the wallet on my mac. I'm not trying to mine, just trying to have a wallet so I can store the coins I've purchased but it crashes every time I try to open it.  I did download from the official darkcoin site. Here is the crash report. I'd really like to buy some more DRK but I'm hesitant to do so until I know I have a place to store it off an exchange.

Pre-sale - March 18


I have some concerns about this.

First if this is intedendet to be the official DRK logo: A Logo should always be highly stylized. The more stylised the logo is the more can it be used on all scenarios.
What we got here is a artificial Photo of a coin. It has a texture, lens flare and shadowing on it.
Therefore it is not stylized and will cause problems.

First problem is that it cant be vectorized. This means you will loose detail on small scales as of small "DRK accepted here"-Buttons and will lead in less recognizability. In the need of a big scale the coin gets coarse, because the source texture will lack in detail.
Second problem is you cant use it for any material layer. For example making a real coin out of it. What you basically do is putting a metal texture image on a metal textured real coin. This will result in an ugly coin.
The same goes for the lens flare on the top of the 'D' and all kinds of shadowing in the image.

Dont get me wrong, the Coin is looking cool in the image, you did a good job there. But its hardly usable as a logo or as raw data for further production.

My second concern is the "stabilizer" (I dont know what they are called, but often they are described as making the currency logo "more stable" looking e.g. $€BTC) on the D. It goes down. Down. Why down? Is the implication of this that the currency is going down soon? Better make that thing going up Wink





it's the staircase to hell.. to the darkside.. opposite of lightcoin logo. you think a lot of stuf.. I don't feel that you paid the I have to many opinions fee..

If anyone like me was struggling to figure out solo mining DRK then the following is a rough guide using Windows and sgminer -

Example Darkcoin.conf file for solo -

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=1234
gen=0
server=1
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37

Example settings for sgminer -

sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin -o http://127.0.0.1:1234 -u -p --no-adl -I 11 -g 2 -w 64 --shaders 512

These settings are for my graphics card which is a rubbish ATI Radeon HD7730 - I get on average 250-300 Kh/s with this setup so change the graphics settings on the end to suit your card.

Use https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison if you do not know the settings your card should use.

I apologise if this has already been posted but 193 pages of posts is a lot to check through Smiley. Just trying to help out.

Good lord, our developer shouldn't have to not post in the Reddit for his own coin because it, "Looks terrible".

That reddit literally makes me sick to my stomach to look at, it is that hard on the eyes.

Will whoever is doing the CSS for it PLEASE have a normal Reddit for the main area and just keep the Darkcoin header?  You're driving away so many users in my opinion.  And our own developer.

Agree so hard. There is a thread about it, whoever is in charge made a couple tweaks but it's still horrible. He seems adamant to keep the theme close to what it is, despite many people requesting it is changed. I suggested googling "dark color schemes" for some better ideas, as right now it's really a problem to read for more than a minute or two. As a coder who prefers dark color schemes, I'm positive it could be done better with about 10 minutes of effort. And yet, no response. :/

Can I ask that you please be a bit more constructive, because I've actively addressed people's criticisms, fixed all the glaring RES stylesheet issues, basically done everything people have asked, and received a lot of positive feedback from people who were previously complaining (mostly about RES specific problems that weren't visible on my end at the time, which have since been fixed). If you still have a problem with it, I'm as open to changing things as I've always been. I'm putting my own time into this for the community, after all. You just need to be specific about the problem you're having. It's like filing a bug report -- if you don't give specifics, it's hard for the dev to address the problem.

I'm also a coder who uses dark colour schemes so I know what works for me, but I only have my own eyes to go by, so if the scheme doesn't agree with your eyes I need you to be specific about the what & why.
I apologize, I don't mean to be so harsh.  I understand you're volunteering your time and it really is appreciated.  You've created some beautiful work in this thread.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

Can you explain what to do to install it on bamt/linux?

Oh screwballs, that's for the cpu miner, lOL, hold on, I'll get the right one...  This is for ATI  as I don't know about Nvidia:

First, update your driver to latest stable release
Then download and install the AMD_APP_SDK

Now download the ADL_SDK, hang on to that


do an apt-get update

then   apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

now download the source;

sudo git clone https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer

go into that folder, find the ADl_SDK folder and copy the contents of the ADL_SDK folder you downloaded and unzipped earlier into this folder

cd darkcoin-sgminer

./autoconf -i
   
./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

make


just chnge the "darkcoin-sgminer" and /evan82/darkcoin-sgminer to whatever version you're doing  Hope I covered it correctly, good luck



Left the old info for anyone who might want it. This is for CPUminer

Just a quick cut and paste, on my Ubuntu, this is what I do for the latest version:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

Phm gave us his GPU miner code, and I merged in his changes into my project at https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer

I got it to compile and it seems to work for me, although I have a terrible GPU so I'm not positive.

Try to compile it and let me know if it works so I can pay the man.

Thanks!


Holy crap time to go!  I'll see if I can get this running on my unix / BAMT rig with three Radeon GPUs.  I'll give it a shot, but I might need some step by steps!


It just compiled it, and it looks to be working!

I'm not sure if the feedback im getting from sgminer is correct, but the pool is saying that my working is going at 5,400 kh/s Smiley Thats with two 7950's and one R280.  I'm sure my setting, threads etc are far from optimal.

Thanks to all involed, I'll be sending some coins!

Edit: Yeah, getting about 5.5Mh/s right now with my three cards.  But I noticed I'm only pulling about 450W at the wall, where as I normally pull about 800W, so I'm sure it can go even faster.
Can you explain what to do to install it on bamt/linux?

It's funny actually that we are where we are in terms of market interest with suboptimal logos / pages / wikis /q&a's etc, which do not really "pull" people in. So this means even greater potential as these are sorted out.

Geekiness is prevalent here and that's a good thing really because it indicates that there is a higher priority in the actual job/specs than in aesthetic/cosmetic stuff.

Everything will be improved over time, no need to make the atmosphere heavy. Interestingly it's all the scammers and clone shitcoins who have all the nice sites and resources from day 1. Ah well, since they didn't have to actually put some real work on the actual coin aside from tweaking the block time generation and issued coins, it's only natural to occupy themselves with just the marketing aspect Grin
