Well, my coinbase bitcoins finally cleared. When I bought the bitcoins, I could have bought 185 darkcoins with them. Today, I bought 34.
Isn't there a way where you can buy when you want to buy, directly from your checking or something? It jus sucks to have to wait an entire week for your coin! (bad luck it being a holiday weekend)
There's an instant buy option on Coinbase, you need to add your credit card and there's a limit how much you can buy per day.Isn't there a way where you can buy when you want to buy, directly from your checking or something?

Send BTC from your wallet to https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_drk , goes super quick
buy (bit slow that page)
send back to DRK wallet and all happy !
did it a bunch of times and all good and save…>>

Anyone else here getting the feeling the price of Darkcoin is about to explode?
Normally I don't make posts like this, but I'm feeling a breakout tonight. I'm liking what I see in the charts.

so whats different about this coin, if you can tell me I will buy 100 of them now

Here's another point of view... assuming that we can't push any more performance out of the GPUs while mining darkcoin, it could be argued that it is less efficient because you need to purchase 2 cards to do the work that 1 card should be capable of, in terms of raw computing power.
Not really. In darkcoin one of your cards equals one of another's person cards. Everyone is equal but burns less. In scrypt if you went to reduce performance + watt consumption you would be disadvantaged versus the performance of others. Here everyone is running at what the gpu miner can currently give as max speed.

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.
Bitcoin uses less ram and for that reason is actually slightly harsher on the GPU itself. A plain cgminer 3.7.2 with
cgminer --benchmark
...will show SHA256 hashing speeds/temps. In general more ram use = more time for the GPU to breathe and wait for new processing load (and of course that degrades performance).

If that actually happened I will run naked outside covered in whip cream.
BITCOIN @ MTGOX is US$ 90 per BTC.
There are few potential alt-coin that can over take BTC.
Hopefully, DRK is one of it !!!!!!!!!

Unfortunatlyt for the EC2 with ubuntu didn't imporoved :
I go from ~ 375 Kh/s (your first version 1.3)
to down 315 Kh/s (your new version 1.3)
What says "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ?
Could you try to compile with "-march=core-avx-i" or "-march=corei7-avx" instead than "-march=native"?

Hey guys what kind of hashrate should I be getting on DRK with 2 mh/s scrypt?
5-6mh/s
Yes with 4mh/s scrypt I am getting 11.5mh/s DRK.

I must say I started mining this coin yesterday and everything runs 50% plus cooler. I need to get my killawatt out and see the draw compared to a normal scrypt coin. So far I love it!
Thanks Devs
Thanks Devs
I also put few of my card to mine this coin and it's true that cards run a lot cooler.
Please post results from that killawatt reader.
Ok here are the results. This miner is a 4x270
Normal Coin: 887 - 892
Darkcoin: 550-552
That's a huge difference on my power bill
Yep. Mining scrypt my rig pulls 1150W doing 2.1Mh/s. On darkcoin it uses 650W doing 6.2Mh/s.
As someone else has pointed out earlier though, this reduced power consumption could simply be because there's way more code optimisation to be done yet and the GPUs are only doing 50% of what is possible. I can make my GPUs run cooler mining scrypt coins too (and more efficiently) if I want to.
Here's another point of view... assuming that we can't push any more performance out of the GPUs while mining darkcoin, it could be argued that it is less efficient because you need to purchase 2 cards to do the work that 1 card should be capable of, in terms of raw computing power.

Do we have an Official "Darkcoin accepted here" banner? If not we may need one soon, Please post imgur links here or the DRK subreddit!
Great job! I like the way you lightened the coin a bit as well.

Please after install say to me what improvement you have and what cpu use.

Is there still no profitability calculator that will show what your expected earnings are per day yet?

Thank, it work. I'm think my lib is not up to date 
make sure you have all the requirements, something like this on Ubuntu:
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
sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"
sudo make
compile with ERROR.
make[2]: *** [minerd-hash.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes'
make: *** [all] Error 2
https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes
I improved the cpu miner for another 10% and updated the project on github. I tried different processors and I've seen an improvement from 8% to 11%.
Remember, this version works only for processor that support the AES-NI instruction set.
Here the list of Intel processors supporting it:
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?AESTech=true
And for AMD, the series:
Bulldozer-based, Piledriver-based and Jaguar-based.
Let me know what is your improvement with your cpu. Binaries for Windows version will come (some tip can accellerate the process
)
*Donations are very appreciated
