Just to let everyone know we're up to 3000DRK for the GPU bounty to try and get phm to release his source code. It would be helpful if other people could donate also to even the playing field again :

Thanks for your support!

ps, this bounty is extended to anyone who can get a GPU miner up and running with a reasonable amount of efficiency .

Here's my partially working GPU miner: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer

Added Darkcoin to coinz.co.vu

Darkcoin Difficulty Chart

also comes with a volume chart (transaction count minus generation transactions)

Holy fuck that is awesome. Especially seeing the transaction to kimoto gravity well. Thanks for that.

Thanks

Still tweaking things, more coins and charts coming.

Ok, thank you...
What should I buy to have a higher hashrate?
Right now I'm using on old laptop with a Intel I3...

Look into the Microsoft azure free trial. Look up some tutorials, there are many. It'll last about 4 days. Good luck!

A coin creator can, at most, make the life difficult for a gpu chip, asic-designer or quantum-computer designer by selecting (during the coin creation) hashes which are hard to speed up in the aforementioned hardware. But now we are past the coin creation stage, so...

There may be some tiny specific function, that is difficult to calculate on GPU but is not a problem for CPU.

Surely developers know better what they are doing.

I've thought about this extensively in the past and I only thing I could think of was maybe to use the CPU extensions. If you look them up (https://www.google.com/#q=cpu+extensions) there's a bunch to choose from SSE4, Movie encoding/decoding, etc. These happen on die so they'd be way faster on the CPU than calculated manually in the GPU.

However, then we're back to centralization due to super high end hardware.

Thank you for input. I believe there is no such killing difference across different CPUs. Here is the comparison I googled quckly: http://www.roylongbottom.org.uk/cpuspeed.htm#anchorPara06
Not sure that it's what we look for, but seems like the difference is at most 2-3 times which is reasonable.

This at least may give a chance for CPU mining.

Most cost effective would be to rent a few amazon instances. I don't think it makes sense to buy a cpu to mine on. GPU mining will be here soon and cpu cost to hashrate is just too high unless you can use them for other purposes.

And do you think I could find a block if I solo mine?
How lucky do I have to be to find one?

Doubt you would.

I have a similar machine in a pool that hasn't found a block since Feb 1st (and I think difficulty was 1 at the time)

yes, I have a firewall

ok, so can you try with it off?

Ok, I turned off both firewalls (windows and avast) but still the same message...
Any Idea?

You're running the bat file not the exe, right? Its not picking up your parameters.

I feel so stupid...this is my first mining experience...
It's working now... I have 186.41KH/s...not much I believe?

Can I expect some coins with this low Kh/s?

Regards and thanks!!!

Yeah, my guess is between 5 and 10 a day, maybe a little more.

What we see in yourscreen shot is wrong : algoryt:m scrypt and connect to 127.0.0.1 THIS IS WRONG !

We don't see your command in your screenshot.
Just write the commad directly :
minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u Login.Worker -p WorkerPass

hey guys
1. question, is DRK's programming actually finished with "encrypted transactions and anonymous block transactions" ??
sorry for the question, i am not the programmer guy who understands too much of the tech talk, but i read somewhere that this is the plan to do and have for DRK but it is not there yet !
could i get any feedback on this please ?
2. maybe we could split this thread into 2 groups
- DRK mining
- DRK general

Tx

We have NOT pushed the anon transactions out yet, we are working out a few very small bugs, we did a test yesterday and it was working very well. We just want to make sure its 100% before it goes live. We are trying to open an alpha test this weekend on the test network for users for more testing, stay tuned for further info.

If you need any help, I'm in... Do you have any particular hardware of software requirements to test?

If it is stuck at block 15199, you need the new wallet.
