Am unable to run my amd 8350 using the new cpu miner.
Showing some json  and html error.
Can someone?

I have used 1.2c successfully. Just trying to squeeze every last kh/s from the resources I have available. Thanks for the reply.

I believe in Darkcoin a lot, but your behavior is extremely risky for you!

You have to get a GPU instance.

g2.2xlarge     8cpu + 1gpu   
cg1.4xlarge 16cpu + 1gpu

They are usually pretty expensive now $0.50+ which makes them unprofitable at this difficulty.

Tried lowering the thread concurrency but still the same spin up, spin down of the graphics card (fans). Very weird.

I dumped all my Litecoins, feathercoins and BTC and sunk it all into DRK!

Now make me rich haha!

Yes, it was a pathing problem. Fixed now. I was not using the C drive at the time, so my pathnames were long and messy.
To fix it, I eventually went back to basics and let the GPU miner package unzip/extract to its default location on C.
The error still appeared, but it was fairly easy to build up an appropriate path.

In case it might help anyone - I used a "mule" batch file, foo.bat, on the desktop, which eventually worked in this basic form:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx DISPLAY 0
cd C:/darkcoin-sgminer-windows/darkcoin-windows/

sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u blah.blee -p blather

For testing I just keyed "foo" in a command window, after a CD to the desktop where the foo.bat file was (CD users/username/desktop).
That prevented those annoying disappearing test results that can happen if you just run a batch file standalone.

Once the basic version worked, I added some detail to speed it up. For now, I'm using:

-I 14 --thread-concurrency 30592 --auto-fan

(grabbed from my litecoin batch file) and that gets 780 Kh/s at the main darkcoin pool with an R9 290X. I'll try to optimize it Real Soon Now and move the whole thing to another drive again.

Edit: I've been tuning the settings with good results so far. I'm now using

-I 19 --lookup-gap 2 --shaders 2816 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 32765 --auto-fan --temp-hysteresis 5

to get 2.6 Mh/s at the main darkcoin pool with an R9 290X. Still tweaking though.
 


 
  

Cheers eduffield, keep the good work coming!

So GPU is possible with amazon EC2 instance on ubuntu???
Can you explain us please.


I've got already 16 instance running cpu with version minerd 1.3 from elmad.
If I can agregate gpu on these 16 should be exelente.

We've been working on Pre-Alpha v2 and I think we're ready! I've worked out every known issue that cropped up during the last testing, so this time we're going to be announcing testing ahead of time to allow more people to try DarkSend out. We'll also have a windows test client handy, as well as the Ubuntu QT test client.

Testing begins tonight at 9PM EST. Come join us in the other thread if you want to help out.

go into transaction, and check if the block has been confirmed,  seems like ppl do not have the patience to wait for the 120 confirmations before they think there is a problem.....

If there is a problem, start with PMing me, instead of writing in the thread... i dont like bad impressions, when its not because of the pool, or pool owner....

besides, smaller the pool, the longer it might take for a pool to successfully find a block...

if in doubt, look at the statistics, and the finder pages to see when the last block was found

After I was done setting up, I could launch sixty instances within one minute.

too eager to await block confirmation :-p

I've been playing with it all night - and I'm a little tired

Yes, I have had no problems getting it to run using Ubuntu 13.10, but I'm working out how to create an image and clone an instance to make the whole thing work faster.

There are a number of setup steps that I wrote some simple scripts for, and cloning would be the next step to make this run even faster. I'd say about 5 minutes per instance setup...

Thanks

I am working on it, I hope that soon I'll post some good news.

That pool has closed its signups in order to help spread the network hash.  

Just sign up at one of the other pools:
http://drkpool.com/
https://www2.coinmine.pl/drk/
http://cpu-pool.net/drk/
http://drk.lotterymining.com
http://drk.smalltimeminer.com

Use miner ver 1.2c.

Thanks. I'm trying on an old Pentium D 920. It's 64 bit and using the Intel processor utility, I can see that it's sse2 and sse3 capable but aes-ni says no. Is that something I can enable in bios or am I just out of luck?

Hi,
Just createw an ubuntu. You can use the eduf AMI image called : dark_public_miner in N. Virginia. (spot request) There is a tuto on first page also.
Then create this script : vi inst13.sh
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

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

cd darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

chmod a+x autogen.sh

./autogen.sh

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

make

_____________
chmod u+x inst13.sh
./inst13.sh

That's all folk

Using the Windows sgminer on here, this keeps causing my 7990 to spin up and down. It is also hashing at an average of 2.3MH/s whereas my other 7990s (which are located elsewhere so I can't hear them) are doing 3.4MH/s. Any ideas? All use the same version of Windows and AMD drivers.
