You are mining at 233khash? Come on dude.

I have successfully mined Emerald solo and was hoping DRK was something of similar difficulty that I could try, I know I would be against pools as is the case with any coin but is there something that makes DRK harder to mine than similar difficulty coins?

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

Diff is way to high to solomine.

My wallet is still not syncing... Should I add some nodes? My darkcoin.conf:

DarkCoin is still pretty new, and it hasn't been spamming everywhere with fake hype like the pump & dump copycoins do. It'll get onto the larger exchanges soon enough. In the meantime, enjoy the cheaper price.

maybe if you have millions to spend on equipment, but doubtful. You would have to compete with pools otherwise your work would constantly be invalidated. You could have solo mined when the coin first came out but those days are gone.

Thank you for that, sorry for the newbie questions, only started looking into this a week ago. Still haven't found confirmation of being able to mine DRK solo though, is it possible or not?

I just remembered my name is "bigc" so I guess i can't make fun of him ;(

you're good.

By the way I am hashing at about 298 kh/s

Just goes to show you where their minds at. And Cryptsy is ran by an egomaniac of average size who calls himself "BigVern" and has his own face as the main picture for the exchange. No thanks.

works well.

What speed are you hashing at?

It boggles my mind that none of the bigger exchanges have any interest in this coin. I mean, they have no problem with infinite amounts of copycoins, but when it actually appears something out of the ordinary, they let 2 minor exchanges take the profit..
Ah well, I have no problem if C-CEX outgrows cryptsy anyways.

Oh yea, don't use that. Use this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sph-sgminer-multi-coin-multi-algorithm-gpu-miner-added-marucoin-475795

All I get from mining that with sgminer is "Stratum from (null) requested work restart" every 2 seconds or so, is this normal?

Yes that does make sense but it works for me since I used to have 7950 together with other 280x.

Anyway that doesn't help.

For future reference you don't need to use , to seperate values in an arguement when all those values are the same. So -I 20,20,20 is the same as -I 20.

show your command
