Hi.

0) Go to https://dtc.graymines.net

1) Download miner (v10).

2) Inside config.txt:

platform = "nvidia";

# Change example address to your DTC address below
address = "DLRyru81Fx3rtnbKWZNMzGx9dRTRT3TQwf";

3) delete kernel.bin

4) run miner

5) Have fun.

Steps above work for my Windows 10 + GTX 1080.

I want to mine some data. What can use when I have nvidia card? Can you point me to some guide (on windows?)

OK, finally C-CEX accepted Datacoin for voting but it is not yet appearing on the voting list.  I suppose it will follow in a day or two.  The initial problem was that another coin (DivotyCoin) created in 2017 had chosen the same symbol (DTC).  So I submitted Datacoin as DTCN.  I don't think this DivotyCoin will get anywhere, so hopefully if we get into C-CEX first we can reclaim the symbol.  If I remember correctly, we were listed on C-CEX in the early days but we lost the listing when our developer disappeared.  I will follow up to see if it is possible to reclaim the old listing.

I did register on Nova, and there are no other coins with the same name or symbol.  But they demand 0.16BTC just for getting onto the voting list.  The community will have to cough up that money.  For now I think we have to watch what happens on BTCPOP.  If we are successful there we can swop the Datacoins we mined to pay for the listings on other exchanges.  The first to target would be C-CEX, Nova and Cryptopia.  All you need with these exchanges is money.

Thank you very much for the suggestions so far.  Please keep them coming - I am especially interested in Chinese and Indian exchanges.

So your only hope is nova,
https://novaexchange.com/addcoin/

They eliminate free votes too... Cost about 0.3-0.5 BTC with npoints to be listed in. If btc would be 1K$ it would be that bad, but now it's some money.
But it's expanding, has more vol than a few months ago. Still small exchange, but at least quite honest.

C-CEX requires the community to vote with Bitcoin:

Rules: You can vote for adding coin to our exchange here by depositing BTC to it's address. We are adding 1 winner coin each 14 days. All BTC votes are taking into account after 1 confirmation and rechecked at the moment of voting round finish. BTC sent to voting address are non-refundable. Coin dev must provide block explorer, website or forum thread with wallet links including source code link (github preferrable). Please, make sure coin is compatible with our existing interfaces.

Currently the highest vote is for Krypstal at 3.001BTC.  So to add Datacoin we will have to vote at least 3.002BTC.

I tried to suggest Datacoin for voting but it does not seem to be on the list.

Okay, I just tested v10 miner with my GTX 1080.
It works great, just delete kernel.bin to be recreated, it gives 200-210 CPD.

Thanks Graham.  Much appreciated.  I also get quite a good impression about the operator (Casimir).  Seems like quite a hard-nosed guy.  I suppose you have to be hard-nosed if you are in the loans business. 

C-cex and free votes (but you must have more people on community to upvotes it).

I cannot register on Nova.  For the last 3 days or so registration has been disabled.

Registration on Cryptopia will effectively cost 2-3 Bitcoin.  We need to buy 1 200 000 of their "DOTS".   I want to see if we can get a free registration before we go for that kind of money.

Once we are registered I will go for a modest media campaign on Cryptocoinnews, Cointelegraph, The Merkle etc.  Hopefully that will attract more exchanges to us, rather than we having to pursue them.   

Good find ... (I think)

The side-channel analysis is quite favourable. I'm comfortable with the non-nonsense stance - a Marshall Islands reg, no pretentiously misleading bogus T&C's. Reading between the lines, the most prolific blogger seems to be the manager. Maturity is evidenced in the writing style and approach. Capability is evidenced by the content, I find myself professionally interested in the (albeit under-powered) attempt to use textual analysis to beef up the p2p loan risk assessment.

I shall register, see how we get on.

Cheers

Graham

Can't you get on nova/cryptopia ? Just not yobit, this scam exchange is so bad.

It looks like the environment at BTCPOP Exchange (https://btcpop.co) is favourable for the listing of new coins. 

I posted on the Coin Suggestions page.  https://btcpop.co/forum/viewthread.php?id=1618
The moderator seems quite active, so please add your voice on the thread in favor of Datacoin.  Also answer any questions or gripes they may have.

If anybody has had any experience with this site please share it.

Thank you.

Target is as before, 10.
Shares paid are 7,8,9,10+
As mining establishes and number of shares on confirmed blocks will count and payout per share of 7,8,9 will auto adjust.
In free time I'll try to make more dynamic system, based on current diff, not hardcoded as it is now.
It is old project, I'll need to look deep into it :-)

It works as before, just what is the Target now? Is it still 9?

I had some time yesterday, so it should.
I don't have any running AMD rig, so I can't test it right now, testers are more than welcome :-)
Payouts should be made after full confirmation - 3200.

Is the pool working now?

I'll start my old pool in 1-2 days I hope :-)

Dear ------------------,



In order to have a coin considered for listing the coin developer will have to complete their Poloniex account profile fully and have it verified before we can consider the listing.



Sincerely,

Poloniex Support Team

Is there any pool? I have solo mined for a few days.

Hello Datacoin Community!
I just recently stumbled on your project, which looks really interesting and was abandonded (same way like we experianced with Slimcoin, where I'm personally involved).
And we also have now same contributor (I would say developer, but Graham always say he is 'contributor', I think it's a big modesty from him),

I came here with maybe strange and crazy idea, but nonetheless, I thought, that I should say it here. What about merging our 2 projects into 1. I know that's a lot of work to do, we have different codebases, based on different coins (our on Peercoin, yours on Primecoin), different goals and aims, but together we could do a lot of more. We could also burn Datacoin and Slimcoin , and swap it to a new token (but more as a continuation of Slim, because we have support of an exchange, and some volume on it), or just create a new fork of it, (still old holders of Slimcoin and Datacoin should be rewarded proportionally) and let both still co-exist, but personally I would prefer, to burn (and reedem appropriate % to both projects, because supplies and market cap of both are quite different), but both of these approaches, would inherit great advantages of these 2 projects - Proof-of-Burn consensus and 128kb tx rich information and other tweaks, which could enable truly decentralized web come true. SlimData
I know it's some daydreaming (or might be a night for now), but I had this beautiful dream in front of my eyes today . Tell me what do you think (if you don't like it bash me straight, don't sugarcoat it).

Edit: can someone point me to valid miner with newest repo? There was quite a few, and I don't know which is good (for Windows), also http://datacoininfo.org/, has not working link to miners.
Is miner in the client optimized or there are other better optimized? Which fork of client I should be running? foo1inge or other/s?

Edit2: someone just have took oportunity to change ticker name to DATA
https://blog.streamr.com/2017/08/announcing-the-streamr-datacoin-ico/

Edit3: if idea with SlimData won't work (would be burned  ), is someone interested trading Slimcoins for Datacoins? PM me.
