Funny that you would say that...it was my first thoughts as well!  Using that ideology...group and myself are putting together the capital to start a small alt currency exchange with that exact thought process!  Being in Canada...I think it would be great that you could go to a brick and mortar office and meet the people that handle your exchanges & money...I think that is super important.  You can keep your financial affairs private...but those that handle your funds should always be accessable.... I have the beginings of a great team already that have done several banking institutional sites with ISO 9362 standards.  Missing is someone/peeps to create a great front end and logistics for the actual exchange.  Any thoughts on how this could be looked at would be great.

Your best bet for getting an exchange up & running quickly/cheaply would be to fork buttercoin:

https://github.com/buttercoin/buttercoin

It's an open-source crypto exchange.

The Future Of Work
elmad's new cpu miner yielded significant improvements.

Here are some stats for those interested:

CPU: i7-4770 (stock)
Hash rate: 570 KH/s
Power draw: 80 watts (~87% efficient PSU)

GPU: R9 290 (Elpida, 1000/1500/20%, no undervolt)
Hash rate: 2250 KH/s
Power draw: 188 watts (~87% efficient PSU)

The GPU miner does seem to be far more cpu intensive, though.  Giving it one thread while CPU mining doesn't seem to be enough, which is not something that's ever happened with other algorithms (which usually only use between 5-15% of one thread).

Everything goes by so fast, I can't remember what elmad did?  In what way did he change darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3?

Oh yah, he optimized it for Nvidia and some newer? AMD's Smiley  No workie on my gpu's, LOL

I'll be speaking at the Cryptocurrency Convention on Apr 9th in NewYork, detailing how DarkSend works and promoting DarkCoin. If anyone will be in NewYork at that time I'd love to meet you!

*My details should be up on the site soon
Is that wise? Considering you are making something that can have some serious implications in the real world.
I'm just making the technology. Me nor InternetApe support any illegal use of this technology (drug sites, darknet, etc). It's more about the privacy of the blockchain, it was made to be way too open and I can solve that.
It's kind of the same thing as us building and selling guns. Someone could buy one to defend their house or someone could buy it to do terrible things.

DarkSend is not a crime.  Cool

I can see the propaganda posters now.

Do you know what your children are browsing online? No?

Do you know what your children are buying online and with what? No?

Do you know who your children are buying things from? No?

All answers lead to Darkness. All questions start with DARK SEND

Has science gone too far? Is nothing sacred anymore? Is your privacy worth funding evil?

+1 and he should be proud of what he created.  It is apparent that he created it in good faith, and backs it up with his name.  Just another reason I have faith in this coin.

After hearing about that Maxcoin, I looked up about the guy, and he has total diarrhea of the mouth.  He says the stupidest things, most uncouth things.  He also let some university students slap his name on something that's worthless.  I think he is just an egotist, nothing more.

This is nothing like our Eduffield

Ok, I know I'm a fangirl.... er, fanhag, but hopefully my age and experience gives me some intuition, LOL  Grin

Guys/Gals,
This what I get when I run the debug command for sgminer. Can anyone tell me what I can try to get sgminer working. I hate to keep asking rookie questions but I really like where this coin is going and besides, I guess this is how you learn. Smiley Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

....


Hey. Error 11 is very broad but I see you are running a 5000 series Radeon card and most people had the same issue. I managed to fix it on a machine running a 5970 and another running two 5770s

The issue is mainly in your settings, primarily thread concurrency causing the display drivers to fail launching.

1. Use something like this for your .bat
Quote
sgminer --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u accountname.worker -p password -I 17 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 3200

I've found on both types of 5xxx cards if I try bumping thread concurrency any higher you will get Error 11, same with turning down worksize. I'm working on a fix for this now but in the mean time that should do it.

2. If the above fails, get the latest Beta display driver (14.1) from AMD from their website (and use the same settings)

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That should get you up and running for now, it worked for 2 of my machines and a few others on this board. Let me know if you have any more problems.
I've tried changing the thread-concurrency to 3200 and tried adding the --no-adl and it still didn't work. I have the latest driver as well. Honestly though, I've tried so many different combinations of things now, I'm not sure if I tried those both in the same .bat file. I'll give it another go. Thanks for the response. I haven't created a .conf file yet but seems as if creating the right .bat file first should at least get me started. Once I settle on some settings, then I can create a .conf
Been fiddling with settings all day and still getting:
Code:
 Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
 Error compiling program for search.
Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Creating kernel search failed!
 Failed to init GPU thread 2, disabling device 2

I am using a config file. My GPUs are the following: ASUS 6990, HIS 5770 and driver version is 13.251.0.0
I just tried the latest beta display driver with no changes in my situation.

I've been following Syth's posts and their replies with interest because I've had a similar problem with the windows GPU miner (the CPU miner has been fine for me). I've tried the various suggestions as they've been offered, but no luck yet.

My error 11 gives a detailed message "cannot open source file blake.cl" that I have not seen mentioned elsewhere. I don't recognize the filename.

Oh, the graphics card I'm using is an R9 290X. I always get the same error message, regardless of drivers and changes to arguments - thread-concurrency and so forth.

Thanks for any suggestions - and perhaps something here will help Syth also.

Dude, what rig are you running?! I can't come close to that.

I'll probably tell it in a few weeks and we'll all have a huge laugh. That's all I can say.
Didn't posted to brag, but need more people to reduce round times.

LOL, hopefully.  Well, I dunno, I think this one is special.  I read up on stuff every night before bed, and look especially for negative reports on crypto currencies and I have a good feeling here.  I do look at other coins, and most of them I don't like at all.  Nxt, Frei (with demurrage?)  No thanks.  I don't trust the first and don't like artificial manipulation of the second.  I like a free market.  These may be new concepts and it's good that lots of things are being tried, but it's manipulation that we're trying to get away from in our country currencies. 

So I'll stay here Smiley

I think the reason I like DRK is that the dev (and community) seems more thoughtful than hype- or mine-and-dump-minded. I'd like to see cryptocurrencies really succeed. I think (hope) that out of the pile of currencies with more or less similar setups, one will pull all the best features together and really bring this into the mainstream. And not just for speculation, but actually as a currency!

I get the same feeling here - this might just be the coin to do it!

Are there any other cpu coins I can temporarily mine and then turn right around to sell for more dark coin?

That's exactly what I should do, but I can't find any that I'd make more off of than drk and it would require me to pull my resources to another, so... nope, not that I know of  Undecided

I have the beginings of a great team already that have done several banking institutional sites with ISO 9362 standards.  Missing is someone/peeps to create a great front end and logistics for the actual exchange.  Any thoughts on how this could be looked at would be great.

Hire Eduffield, LOL  You might be the First Bank of Bitcoin (or Darkcoin)  How very cool!  Good luck on that, we need such institutions, badly!

I just found this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-cpu-friendly-altcoins-379601

its amazing with all these alt coins, that we stumble upon one, that seems like its not drawing that much attention, but you get a good feel, because of several things, first off, there is no premine... so you think to yourself, well, this is a dev that doesnt want to just dump it, when he can get a good price for it, second thing, ohh.. look, he is using his normal user name, not some name like *coin or what not... later on, the dev starts asking to buy coins, now you know, he has great plans for it, and is putting his money where his mouth is :-)

exactly, plus he gave a lot in the beginning to people who helped out, compiled windows, improved stuff, etc... then started buying, 'cause I suspect he looked at what he had and thought, oh crap, I need more! LOL
