Doesn't wikipedia usually consider altcoin articles insignificant and delete them?

Neither this or the suggestion of --no-adl worked for me... still same errors and then shuts down.  Has anyone else had this problem and got it working for the gpuminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5219985

Thanks

We should STOP NEW PEOPLE FROM MiniNg this coin ANYMORE. Hash RATE too high now, reward too low for us old timer to mine

We need to keep dark coin at low profit .

Someone just dumped 4000 DRK at .0014.

Except that payouts decrease with increased interest/hashing anyway.  Because of the reduced payouts based on difficulty an individual's rewards is order of 1/(hashing power)^2 instead of just 1/(hashing power).  This give an even more unfair advantage to early adopters than normal, and is going to lead to massive dumping.  I really recommend fixing this aspect of the coin.

prob that ur not using a .bat or that you should place the darkcoin-sgminer folder in the root level of your C drive

see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5209581

OK what does this error from SGminer mean

line 79: catastrophic error cannot open source file Blake.cl

Yep, I was just checking first if the lottery pool was working correctly, since it does have quite a bit of invalids. And if GPUs make CPU mining (or cloudmining) not worth doing anymore. I didn't start cloudmining that long ago, but difficulty has about tripled from when I started (maybe 1-2 weeks ago).  I have about three days left on my Azure, so suppose I'll leave it pointed at the lottery pool and hope they find something eventually. I just noticed that the past day or two that the pool hasn't found much, and that the hash rates on the main pool went up a ton (due to GPU mining).

I plan to just hold onto my coins and see how they do. Again, it's found money for me, and actually quite nice, as up until now I was just playing with freebie giveaways and such. Maybe in a year, my 110 or so coins may be worth a decent amount.

IMO the #1 thing that darkcoin requires is a good and objective wikipedia entry, thus people can google darkcoin and find all about it right there. Right now google throws much irrelevant crap when one writes darkcoin (this can be different depending your area, browser history etc) and that can be rectified by a wiki entry that will be the #1 result (after the page is created and indexed).

As I said earlier the best way to promote something is to let others discover it instead of promoting it to them (which creates the reverse psychological effect of "they are trying to scam me") but in our time this means they have to google it. And googling darkcoin is problematic without a wiki entry.

Well if the pool is not finding blocks, how are you going to get paid? It's simple really.

The hashrate has gone up since 20-25 days ago due to

a) cpu miner 1.20c
b) increased interest / miners
c) many azure instances going online
d) cpu miner 1.30
e) increased interest / more miners / more cpu farms
f) development of sgminer for GPUs
g) spike of interest due to coinmarketcap.com listing that made quite a few people aware of what's going on over here
h) arrival of significant GPU hashpower (and some CPU power) after (g)

(in that order).

The payouts are normally much reduced for everyone involved which means that people will appreciate more what 1 DRK actually means since it is mined with difficulty.

Difficulty in producing the coin = you value it more = you hesitate to dump it for cheap = prices soar.

CPUs are still in the game, although GPUs now represent a large percentage of the net's hashrate.

9pm Eastern Wednesday, Thats tomorrow Feb,22nd.

18 seems to be the sweet spot for my 270's. when I went higher.. the gpu showed same hash rate.. however the 5sec average plummeted.

the cpu and gpu mining programs are different programs altogether and can be run simultaneously. Just keep in mind the extra draw on the PSU and to account for the sudden CPU heat and power usage.

Intensity creates lag in the card. It's too loaded with work to process and thus is very slow to interact with the network. Even if you saw a drop of, say 0.5 MHs or 1 MHs you'd still be more efficient than losing 30% in rejects.

When you see something like:

[23:57:50] Stratum from (null) detected new block
[23:57:53] Rejected e9000000 Diff 0/0 GPU 0 etc etc,

...that 3 second difference between the detection of the block and the rejection is too large because the card was too busy processing to take note. It must be within the same second - at most within one second. Otherwise not only are shares rejected, but the card is processing outdated crap because it hasn't taken the signal to change workload to another block.

Most people use the highest intensity possible to maximize hashrate but that's the wrong approach. The faster a coin produces blocks (say 30secs / 60secs etc) the bigger the problem. If the card takes, say, 2 seconds to be alerted that it has to change its processing to something else, that's eons of time of wasted processing power that are not gained by a +1-2% of increased intensity.

For my 5830/6850 the ideal is i18 for scrypt litecoin (2.5m block generation) and i17 for 60sec-30sec scrypt coins like DOGE. Otherwise I'm losing too much processing power in workload that is not really relevant, plus I have stales. The ultimate measure of success is how much accepted difficulty per hour one has. The more the better. KH/s are kind of secondary.

well, when it comes to pools, its all got something to do with luck,

right now lotterymining is in a bad streak, small pool vs overall network hashrate equals smaller chance of success per valid block

I have some newbie mining questions.

I started with cryptos about a month or so ago, and tried some cloud mining recently (my PC is way too wimpy to mine with) and tried the Azure trial/CPU mining with darkcoin. The last couple of days it's slowed down, a lot... and I see in the lottery pool a block hasn't been found in a long time now.

Anyway, is this because of the GPU miner? Has it basically destroyed CPU mining on this coin completely? Or is the lottery pool messed up?

My Azure trial is winding down (maybe a couple of days left, if I stretch it out), so just wonder if I should point it at something else before it conks out completely. On the plus side, I did get in some mining between the whale and before GPU mining took off, so mined about 110 coins out of it, for free, so I can't really complain.

Thanks man . . Started mining using both in windows . . i dont find much fluctuations in the hash rate of the gpu's.

How is CoinJoin going?

Dark is awesome.  I am seeing more are more innovative coins lately!  NXT, XCP, DARK are top in my book.  Saw a new one called Heavycoin that is doing some interesting things.

Keep up the good work devs!

Could you mold the website to look something like this? http://manofsteel.warnerbros.com/index.html?home
