Since http://pool.darkcoin.io/ is down, I started mining p2p at http://112.175.123.82:8372/static/

Is there a way to see your stats, like http://max.1gh.com/ ?

Also, how long does it take for the wallet to sync the first time? I've read in this thread that I don't have to add nodes in darkcoin.conf, is that correct?

Cheers!

I'm getting error showing blake.cl

Any ideas?

Hello All,

I am VERY glad to have joined this community, and i hope I will not get on anyone's nerves with newbie questions or suggestions.
I am a technology analyst (aka- economist) and while I understand barely half of what you guys are talking about regarding mining hardware, efficiency and optimization, I hope to contribute my 2cents in ideas and in observation on key elements (that's basically the only two things that Analysts are claimed to be worthwhile at).

building a network effect on non-techies:
===============================
I have been into cryptos for a long while and I have lately felt that all my friends who are not techies want to get into cryptos, but do not have the minimum understanding (in spite of all the material out there). They have all heard about bitcoin; they have all heard about gox collapsing and coins being stolen at exchanges... and they come to me asking how to start.
Normally, i tell them to open an account at btc-e, buy btc and transfer it because if they start by downloading a -qt wallet and have to wait for 24hours until it synchronizes, and then learn how to open it, or encrypt it, etc. they simply abandon any interest in getting into the game.

Last night, I downloaded and installed darkcoin-qt because I decided darkcoin is in line with everything I believe in crypto (open source, no pre-mine, no billion coins, difficultly adjustment, darksend/anonymity, etc.).
It them struck me that within minutes, the wallet was synchronized and ready to go...
 
I know this sounds trivial because it is a new coin... but it's also a huge advantage.
I've been playing around with the idea of social network effect as means for bringing more people into the game.
From my perspective, we are in 1990 in terms of internet adoption, with merely 2 million crypto users, just as it was 2 million internet users in the 1990, aka - really early in the game.
I know that until now there were bonuses and bounties given to users, but I'm thinking about making a "trusted social pool", like a pyramid scheme, only there is no "reward", only giving.

Yesterday, I bought a handful of DRK, and I am responsible for some of the rise in price.
Suppose I put 1,000 drk into such pool, and invited 10 people that are trusted by the community or myself, each gets 100 drk and is required to open 10 wallets to 10 people he/she trusts and transfer 10 drk each. each of them will them be required to open 10 wallets and transfer 1 drk to each. and so forth.

Within the third interaction, we reach 1,000 users... and thus the word spreads.

I know this probably sounds naive, but if we had a structured system to verify that the users who get the coins really open new accounts for new people, that could be great. If there is no such system, then social ties/trust is a way to go.
Having coins transfered within minutes, and darkcoin-qt installed and synchronized in minutes is a great advantage that will evaporate over time. Why not be the first coin to tun this disadvantage into an advantage?

I agree with doge thing. I showed this dark coin logo to my friends who doesn't know anything about darkcoin, and they asked me if it is a doge coin logo. Original darkcoin on the first page of this thread looks much more authentic with two stripes inside letter "D"

Ok, after doing a bit more research there seems to be no information on which port to use to solo mine DRK so I am guessing it is not possible, could someone confirm/deny this please?

Where is NEW CPU miner for Windows users???

Barely mined 0.1 of one coin with both of my CPUs

right now im willing to pay 10% more for your DKC if you rent any room at any given time at my Hotel, im a verified Paypal and Booking.com Hotel owner and can prove my authentice to any of you by photos/mails/etc... feel free and confortable to ask and request my authentice at any time! good trade and to the moon!

will pay $1.25 per DKC or BTC0.0022 per DKC i will convert my price for DKC.

80+ DRK.. It is difficult to MINE now. Buy is cheaper than MINE

Wow! can't wait to try this coin!

I think it should be a bit dark-gold, not posh and shining, but like a common real coin.

with a single r9 280x you're looking at somewhere AROUND 8 a day

Thank-you for the testing and for sharing your results.

I'm seeing almost the exact same hash rate from my 7950s while mining DRK, and while anecdotally I know they're running way cooler, I don't have a Kill-A-Watt to test the power draw. Taking your idle draw into account, it seems that each 7950 draws roughly 100W extra mining DRK versus 265W mining LTC. Saving 165W per card shaves an awful lot off the electric bill when they're going full throttle 24/7

how many DRK is everyone holding.. I got 110

Connected to p2pool --> http://112.175.123.82:8372/static/

now all i get are these msg from the miner:
Pool 0 difficulty changed to 0.XX
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart


What should I do??

Cool thanks!

Like how much darkcoin per day with that 2Mh/s?

Is there any calculator site available?

That's awesome!  Best I've seen so far by a long way.  Nice and solid looking.  I'd be curious to see a 'gold' version where the silver was gold instead.

What config do you use for darkcoin?

Gpu Miner: 4x Msi gaming Oc 1120/1500 ^^! 630W, 60°c for 4 gpu, 8 072kh/s
               3x Msi gaming 0C 1120/1500 ^^! 58°c for 3 gpu, 5 200kh/s

Something like this would be cool: http://www.photonics.com/images/Web/Articles/2008/12/1/Fig_2_Dark_Field_lighting.jpg
