The Mac wallet doesn't seem to work for me. I downloaded it and dragged into applications and double click to open but it immediately quits and says "Darkwallet unexpectedly quit". I try re-opening a few times but get the same message. I'm on Macos 10.6.8. Hope this can be fixed soon!

I add this to my suggestions along with my initial pitchdark. the chain suffix is very recognizable for cryptocurrencies whilst maintaining the darkcoin brand.
Nice... maybe we can also get a mascot-style cloaked guy emerging from the darkness or something...

And now, how about collecting a good hefty bounty for a working effective GPU miner? I'd put down up to 1000 DRK - not much but if many people donate it'll build up.
If more people are interested I could work on GPU miner for a bounty. I already have something more or less working (pools are accepting shares, also solo-mined one block this night with it), but it's still very slow (nearly 2 MH/s on Radeon R9 290). Unfortunately I can't promise it will get much faster, still working on possible optimizations.
I'd been in to donating for that for sure. Have been wondering why that hasn't happened yet. I'll check back in a bit and see what you thinking for a bounty.
OMG That'd be all the coin I have!
One guy already posted early this morning that he has a working gpu miner doing only 2 mh/s but it works!

I hear you mate. The thing is, whilst my virt machines were set up doing NOTHING, I returned overnight to see the credit down a considerable amount of money. I looked up the usage details as you mention and they had somehow figured out that something deserved to be billed. I tried again by shutting down everything, and I was still billed the next night. My advice to anyone right now is to just get em setup and go for NOW.
If you SHUTDOWN the virtual machines from the Azure management portal so the machine status says "Stopped (Deallocated)" you are NOT billed. You don't have to delete the machine. But shutting down from inside the guest OS is not enough. Use the management portal.

Do you guys think that this coin might become a world-wide coin for black market??
In that case, I would definataly invest in it
In that case, I would definataly invest in it
That was not our intention, but It COULD be used for that. We just wanted a coin where it would not be an open checkbook for everyone to see.

Thanks for the info. Any idea how long until Darkcoin anonymity features are up and running? Is there an ETA?
We are very close to putting out a beta for the test network.
It was delayed a little by needing to put in the Gravity Well.
Make sure you follow us on IRC #darkcoin and Twitter: @DarkcoinCrypto

Can someone please explain the differences between Darkcoin and Anoncoin?
Anon coin is only for the tor network. Darkcoin should be anonymous on the internet full stop ('period' for my american friends)
Anoncoin will use I2P and coin mix services to grant anonymous transactions. DarkCoin promise an "encrypted transaction network" and "coinjoin" technology for anonymous blockchain. For me booth approaches are not soo different.
I would suggest that DarkCoin should use the TOR network to hide mining and transactions, since it is more reliable than i2p and much more mature. There is no point in reinventing the wheel, when reliable approaches exist.
IMHO it would be great if the DarkCoin miner and wallet software implements or interacts tightly with TOR. So that each miner and wallet will be part of the TOR network, providing a TOR relay to strength the network and anonymity.
I would suggest that all the cloud miners out there configure their VM's to be TOR relays while mining ... actually thats what i am doing.

The problem with TOR is people relate that with someone doing something illegal. We are not trying to invent a coin for that purpose, we want the average Joe to be able to use it without any or very little tech knowledge.
And IMO if we specifically join the coin with TOR it will put off alot of potential users.

There were issues with the pool.darkcoin.io pool this morning. But we resolved the issues.

Crazy to see people are paying .0005 per drk this early in the game, no way I would yet, I'll mine the shit out of them though
What AlexGR said, it makes sense if you consider the current difficulty and rewards. Purchasing at 0.0004-0.0005 does not differ much from mining results.

Excellent, It works, but now I need to know where to put the -t 8 Cheesy Thank you so much!
You're welcome. The -t 8 switch can go in the end of the command line, after the URL... but if you have an 8 core and want to use them all you don't really need to include that switch, iirc.

Now can anyone help me? I want to do a backup pool in my bat file, but it's looking for the secondpool, and won't connect. Could someone please tell me how this should go?
minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://Pool:Port -u User.Miner1 -p Pass -o stratum+tcp://Pool2:Port2 -u User.Miner2 -p Pass -t 8
minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://Pool:Port -u User.Miner1 -p Pass -o stratum+tcp://Pool2:Port2 -u User.Miner2 -p Pass -t 8
You can try this in your bat file as a failover script, just replace parameters with yours.
Thank you but how would you set the X-11 flag? and would I put all of this for the url? stratum+tcp://drk.lotterymining.com:4444
Simply add the -a X11 flag after every instance of minerd in the script.
And yes, that's the url, including port. The only thing that changes in the template is the protocol, from http to stratum+tcp.
Excellent, It works, but now I need to know where to put the -t 8
Thank you so much!Nevermind, I figured it out

Not crazy at all... it takes around a day to mine just 2 with ~100kh.

@slyA
Hehe looks like we walk along a similar path. I was also struck by frustration when I realized Vertcoin had skyrocketed. Even more since I had seen the thread but discarded it out of lazyness. The dissappointment triggered a new form of energy in me, and thus I found Darkcoin.
Hehe this is still a long shot, but I'm determined to become economically independent!
