Hi

I would like to mine this coin, but I cant get it to work... Undecided

I downloaded the wallet.
I downloaded the minerd.exe file
I made a worker on http://pool.darkcoin.io
I changed the a.bat file to minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u workerusername -p password
with my worker id and password.
It wont work, and I get this message...
What am i doing wrong?

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

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.

Don't hurry it. It needs to be bulletproof. Better take your time than have a catastrophic flaw discovered down the road. If you can get some really good code reviewer or hacker to check it for potential vulnerabilities, all the better.

The Future Of Work

Problem is that they're so busy trying to get those features implemented. On the other hand, it gives us a little more time to mine before everyone descends on the coin, Lol Lips sealed

Is there a white paper somewhere on the approach being used for anonymity?

I would've appreciated this when I was first scoping out the coin. The website is very sparse, and it's always hard to tell a generic clone from a coin that's adding genuinely valuable features. Given that DarkCoin seems to be doing the latter, it really should be selling those features prominently on the website with at least a bit of detail so it doesn't sound like empty claims.

i totally agree … >>

could some people recommend one pool which is more suitble for a few computers?

THKS.

Lotterycoin mining is fun, there is a lottery each week. see the first post/first day. Also Smalltime needs more people. It's best to spread the hash around1

Is it based on the same fundamentals as Zerocoin or something else?

(given it's a hard problem, I for one won't believe in it until enough 3rd parties have confirmed the foundations are sound)

AFAIK most/all pools will let you create multiple workers, so you could assign each of your mining CPUs to its own pool worker.

Whether a GPU miner is released is a moot point, since we can be 100% sure it WILL be released by someone if it's feasible/profitable.

As to whether it's a good thing: If you hold DRK right now, you want a GPU miner to be released, simply because it will drastically increase the uptake of the coin, which will get it on more exchanges and drive up the price of DRK. The best us CPU miners can hope for is for GPU miners to embrace the coin AND for cpu mining remain viable, which might be possible depending on the hashrate a GPU miner gets.

Hey everyone. I have a newbie mining question. I've been mining on the official pool for about 5 days now. I was just checking out the other pools. I looked in the pool and noticed that the coins earned at my current hashrate is almost double of what I have been earning on the official pool. Why is that? Are the estimates wrong? If it's correct, please explain so I can understand why and I'll jump ship. Don't want to cut myself short. lol. Thanks.

Its based on several things, but you cannot rely 100% on the estimated DRK per day amounts.

Since we have added the Gravity Pool, if suddenly some big miners join it will reset the difficulty to compensate for that so they cant rape the coin.

It will also depend on the number of miners and the total hash rate.

Its also a bit related to luck, one pool MIGHT find more blocks than another and will get more coins.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks. That does help. I did find it funny that my estimated DRK does fluctuate quite a bit. I'll just stay where I'm at. 500+ miners can't all be wrong. lol. Thanks again.

great to hear! If you need testers I would love to be involved. I'm sure others here as well would help out. Amazing work from you guys!

Hey eduffield (sorry if I'm spelling wrong going off memory). I'm tinkering with your sg miner trying to see if I can contribute to this. I'm away from home and thus toying around on a windows machine. I made a few changes but I can't compile it, I'm getting undefined reference to "sleep" errors. If memory serves me right you can't use sleep() in windows. It happens trying to compile the original files you posted. Have you attempted to build it in windows?

Do you know a workaround for this?

edit: compiling in MinGW, I'm not familiar with any others.

I tried to compile it tonight and got the same error. This helped me:

https://github.com/Niek/sgminer/commit/4e7c8a067223bb6b49791bf0ded1e3588623c44e
#define sleep(x) Sleep(1000 * x)

Leave it to windows to make it capital and use their own time.

Thank you, problem solved with one line.

Selling Point = CPU MINING ONLY.

Everyone have a reasonable CPU but not all have HIGH END GPU.

QUARK MINER will move to DRK after QRK reach no profitablity.
