Is it because of GPU miners or just because the price of DRK got to new heights in the exchanges?
The chicken or the egg?

we are growing, come and help mine darkcoin, and get a chance of winning the lottery pool.
once a week 50% of the fees, plus ive added a 100 drk on top, will be drawn,
to one lucky winner... is it your turn next?
Witdrawal fee: 0.0
Please spread your hashing power, we dont want 1 pool to have >50%

The new Windows CPU miner that elmad created doesn't seem to have increased my hash rate. I just copied the bat file I was using on the old one. Does something else need to be added?
check the .exe names -
the original was minerd.exe
There are 3 new executables, check the readme to determine which one you need to use (based on your processor)
OK, try this link - https://mega.co.nz/#!pBZzQAII!yuvzhcnx3ezLre9fek_G67D0_IyiNqIbEHKY4cKdovA
That's reposted from elmad's post. There are three executables in there. The readme explains which one is compiled for which CPU type you have. you will need to change your .bat file to use the correct executable (change the name from minerd to minerd-xxxx-xxx)
You might also find this helpful if you aren't sure which instruction set(s) your CPU has available:

I need to replace the old minerd in my digital ocean droplet.
Anyone knows the suitable exe for their ubuntu 13-04 droplets? AES-NI generic perhaps?
I beleive AES-NI stuff will not work in digital ocean, because their VMs does not support this. BTW, you can use 13.10 there.
And a noob question... which is the easiest way to upload local files to a droplet? do I need to setup a FTP server?
No, just use scp command (in linux):
$ scp /my/loca/file root@

Has anyone got sgminer working with a 68xx or 6990? Myself and a few others I've talked to by PM have tried for hours getting it to work with no luck... Really annoying not being able to mine one of the most promising coins in a long time! All I get is:
------------------------------------------------------------------
[08:36:44] Started sgminer 4.0.0
[08:37:32] Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
[08:37:32] Error compiling program for search.
Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Creating kernel search failed!
[08:37:32] Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
[08:37:32] Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.
[08:37:32] Try restarting sgminer.
Press enter to continue:
------------------------------------------------------------------
The new CPU miner is great though, getting ~100 kHash/s @ 3570k

Linux Version has EVEN more HASH !!! 
Just leaving my feedback for elmad's latest cpuminer: impressive.
The minerd-corei7-avx executable boosted my Xeon E3 performance almost 250%. This single-handedly took each core thread from 22 KH/s to 55 KH/s. In practical terms, in spite of the big difficulty rise, I'm still mining and getting a few coins a day.
Also, seconding the idea to enable more community features at darkcoin.io. A forum (easy setup, smf type) and a wiki would be very good.

It works well on my Win8 laptop with i5 Haswell processor, but minerd-bdver1.exe (?) fails to start on AMD Athlon 6x under Win7Entp.

I want to put your attention to small easy-to-fix flaw with a wallet - a yellow icon in Windows tray is for Xcoin.

Im sure it will continue on its amazing progress.

Difficulty is skyrocketing!
http://coinz.co.vu/diff/?drk
Is it because of GPU miners or just because the price of DRK got to new heights in the exchanges?
Are there that many GPU miners yet?
Anyway, the trend is impressive!

- 84 Million Coins Max
- Block reward halves every year
Does the difficulty changes affect the number of max coins and block halving? How many coins are to be realistically expected?

Hi everyone, I'm still trying to get this amazon instance to work. I can't get the sgminer to run because it says it needs opencl sdk to work. when I try to install opencl sdk, it says it needs opencl sdk for cpu, and I can't find that download. I've been at this for 5 hours now, and don't want to go to bed because then I have to let this server go, can't have it running all night and not producing 
Wasted enough money on it already
Help is very much appreciated!
My error message, caught on a fast print screen, is:
Started sgminer 4.0.0
Error -1001: clGetPlatformsIDs failed ,no OpenCL SDK installed?>
clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
Alll devices disabled, cannot mine
I did install the drivers that Amazon said to install, 320.59-grid-desktop-win8-win7-winserv2008r2-winserv2012-64bit-international
Is it possible to make this work? Please put me out of my misery!!

I know of someone who got them to work and the hashrate was worse than average CPU.

Getting a ton of trojan alerts on both CPU and GPU miner from the first page on VirusTotal.com
Can you confirm that's it's false alarms? (usually only 1 or 2, but this time more than 20 on both)

I get virus alert with virtually all mining software. It's because it's often used in trojans (e.g. botnets). Nothing to worry about in general.

Have you got Amazon instance with GPUs?
Edit: Ah, yes, I see now they got ones. Thought they had only CPU clouds.

Yah but I dumped it. I couldn't make it work, and I need to go to bed
I just finished making sure all is ok with the others, and am going to catch some zzzzzs Gnight ya'all
