Awareness of this coin still seems low - is there a good post for why DGC is better than WDC that I can refer others too? Smiley

It does not exist. DGC is merely a clone of WDC. The only differences are the block reward and the block time.

DGC had a much cleaner release with gradually escalating rewards.  WDC was a surprise release (couple hours of notice) with full reward starting at block 1

Just goes to show how much you know about WDC. It was announced 4 days prior to release. ALL of the successful coins have had a full reward at the first block.

It was announced well prior to release but the release window, 4 hours, was way too wide

Just goes to show how much you know about WDC. It was announced 4 days prior to release. And to top that off, DGC was announced on the same day that WDC launched. I don't know if this was just coincidence or planned but it's water under the bridge now. ALL of the successful coins have had a full reward at the first block.

I wish coinchoose would fix the profitability. Ppl are switching because thry think its 250 more profitable and it could end up killing the coin near term just like all the rest when difficulty goes go 50% profitable

It's actually a clone of LTC if you examine the source, with several parameter changes for the better.

Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 3.5 * 24 * 60 * 60; // Litecoin: 3.5 days
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 2.5 * 60; // Litecoin: 2.5 minutes
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;

Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 0.35 *24 * 60 * 60;	// Worldcoin: 0.35 day
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 15; // Worldcoin: 15 sec
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;

Code:
static const int64 nTargetTimespan =  6 * 60 * 3 * 20; // digitalcoin: 6 hours
static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 1 * 20; // digitalcoin: 20 seconds
static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing;

The DGC block reward is far more practical at 20, WDC produces way too many coins per hour which makes it cheap.

The only thing I would like to see changed in DGC is the number of confirmations increased from 4 to 10, with a 20sec block rate this is no big deal, but it would inspire confidence in people that understand the probability of a double spend attack.

Love it when my pool, with less than 5% of the network hash rate, solves two consecutive blocks!

I've been mining on erundook's pool for the past 7 days, averaging 2800Kh/s with average daily payout around 550 coins. I'm located in Australia so my latency (~350ms) isn't great.

what is the best p2pool right now paying instantly? like to try mining digitalcoin Smiley

All p2pools should pay out instantly. Try to find one close to you with good efficiency %.

Bringing up another p2pool on the East Coast of America.

This one is on the West Coast: dgc.xpool.net:8810

Not quite true, you make take several hours to find a share before you are even eligible for a payout, and then the pool has to find a block, unlike say a PPS pool which will simply credit your account the instant a block is found. DGC needs a PPS pool or two.

Yup, I agree. Was just thinking about how on PushPools your coin accumulate in your account (on the pool) and then you have to cash out usually with fee's attached. People seem to like PushPools for some reason though...perhaps it's the web interface. I do like that. BigVern's pools were my goto before I discovered P2Pools. I miss the web interface of Pushpools and the sorta competitive nature between miners it presented (at least in my perspective). The information it gives miners is easier to follow than p2pools.

East coast server just waiting for the wallet to download....should I bring up a EU server? I'm just bringing these up to test combined hashing between p2pools. Don't know if they will be permanent yet.

It's real hard to resist mining DGC with this profitability level so I quit mining BTC/LTC for a while and tried again DGC. Yes, I know, I'm stupid...

Same dissapointing results as before: net income is FAR, FAR AWAY from what has to be. I'm in BigVern pool and is giving me 0.16 DGC/block (0.16 DGC every 3 or 4 minutes) with my 5 MH/seg miner when it should be giving me 1 DGC or more per block (more than 20 coins per hour). A f*cking joke.  Embarrassed
Perhaps the pools are struggling with the hash rate?

I am on bigvern's too and it seems to be working for me.

What I found works best is if I use the cgminer --load-balance options with two pools, then if something is a bit funny with one, it will put most of the effort into the other one.

Taxi, try fenican's P2pool.

Is it normal for shares to drop, drastically, when swapping to mine on a p2p pool? I've not tried it before, so it's still a new experience to me.

I'm using their suggested cgminer string, from their site:
usage: cgminer --scrypt -o http://p2pool-dgc.com:9500 -u YOURDGCADDRESS+0.0025 -p x --queue 0 (and a bunch of other stuff for my 7970s)

I understand the +0.0025 states some sort of local difficulty?

Why would you get 1 DGC per block on BigVern's pool with 5 MH/s? The pool hashrate is over 600MH/s and the block reward is 20. With 5MH/s, you should be getting .166 per block.

Sure, but it is showing only 15/20 valid blocks per hour (instead of 50/60 blocks per hour) so numbers do not add up.

Thanks, I'm gonna try that pool.

great p2p with low doa

30+hours uptime with no problems so far  Grin

.....
and the price @ cryptsy skyrocket !!!!

Been happy on this pool for the last 20 hours. Hopefully my payout will keep climbing to around 3.5 DGC, unless traffic increases.

baritus, why not use irc...? there's already a channel on freenode with a couple people in it. #digitalcoin

crazy action on cryptsy, up to .0007, and it's been top on coinchoose.com for the past 24 hours Shocked  even if this jawn get's the dump treatment there's gonna be a lot of people waiting to grab more cheap coins. i've got my buy orders in!
