Calling all miners and pool owners:

Dev has depleted the first round of donations with the recent development of DGC.  As many of you have noticed, Dev hard work is showing through the steady rise in DGC exchange price.  There are still a lot of work to be done.  As such, I am asking the community to chip in and donate what you can.  I am calling BigVern and BitJohn over at Cryptsy to support DGC as well because the success of DGC can only mean volumes for you guys.  

I will donate 500 DGC to get things going and from now and tomorrow, I will match any donations up to 100 DGC.  You can see the first round donations on the wiki site.  Let's make Round 2 a much bigger number...

Thank you for your support.

Some notes on your double-spend/51% worries:

1. The only thing that's possible is that a person with 51% can un-spend their own transactions. So that limits them to money in their wallet.
2. That is only possible if they can generate more blocks than the rest of the network.
3. Having 51% of the blocks only increases probability, and does not introduce any new certainty. It's possible to double spend even if you only have 1% of the network but got really lucky and generated more blocks than the network.
4. It's more profitable to mine digitalcoin with 51% of power than it is to try and destroy it. In fact, there would be no reason for someone to attempt such a thing, and if they did, it's very unlikely to succeed.
5. Transactions require an exchange of private keys between two parties. So really the only way to double spend is to control a whole sub-network or broadcast transactions to all network. In your subnetwork, not even one computer is allowed to be outside your control. The problem is, as soon as any outside client connects to your sub-network, they will have consensus data from other peers and re-download the whole blockchain.

So you can see how difficult that concept is to apply. Also, I am considering an update to the system where nodes that detect bad blocks communicate it directly with the rest of the network just to add an additional layer of security.

I can confirm this! Payouts right on TARGET! Keep up!

BTW why did you delay DGC pool, I was forced to use P2P pools to earn some penny..

btw, hash estimate is about double what I'm actually running.  I know it's just eye-candy, though.

i will definitely donate some just like i did for WDC developers. btw network is really healthy, i'm getting results matching profit calculators for my pool. way better than wdc was. i do now regret not starting a DGC pool when it was just released

Have any pools looked at implementing voluntary donations to the digitalcoin development foundation? The best way to move this community forward is working together.

Fair enough, the pool is solving ~10-11 blocks per hour now vs. the ~2-4 it was doing during your mining period.  Though I'm more concerned about your missing shares than overall coins at this point, as that'd point to different problems.  I can't find them at this point, and haven't heard of any other complaints, but will dig a bit more when I have time.  Can send you a few DGC to compensate if you'd like.  

If you happen to be willing to throw a bit of hashpower back on the pool to see how it goes with our current success, let me know the results.  If not, understandable.

Regarding stratum vs. getwork, stratum is much more efficient all around.  Where the shares that went missing on the site, or reported by your client?

the payouts were a common problem for wdc network at all, since it was generating much less blocks than expected with a given hash rate.
but sure, drop in to the dgc pool. that one seems to squeeze enough blocks off the network.

@Erundook, I never had a problem with stratum on your pools. They are working flawlessly!
But for the WDC pool I had some problems with much less payout than it should have been!
Neverteless I will try DGC Pool now...

my total hashrate is about 5mh.  I use cg through gui miner.  and i use the basic setup.  I have 7950's and i run them at thread concurrency 24000, 20 intensity.  I think GUI miner takes care of the rest.  I use the same setup solo mining as I do through pools.  But in pools i get like i said about 10x more blocks found then I do solo.  i'd rather do solo because i'm pretty sure looking through my numbers over the past week I'd be getting much more in terms of a payout.  Seems that through pools i'm a big block producers and others are leeching basically. 

For all miners and pool owners:  the words of the day

"Spread the Hash, it does the network good"

i'm sorry to say, but stratum is way more reliable than pushpool's longpoll protocol. if one gets worse results, i guess that's a misconfiguration either at miner or a pool's side. i'm running stratum at my pools 24x7 and didnt get any crash yet.

Can someone help me with solo mining.  I do everything that the first page of this thread says to do.  I use cgminer through gui miner and I'm hashing away.  But here is my issue.  When I do pool mining i get about 10x more blocks found then I do through solo mining.  I get about a 3:10 ratio of accepts to stales while solo mining.  Can someone help?  Am i doing something wrong or is there something I need to do in addition to what the first page says?  I just don't get it.  

What is your total hash rate?
If you are using CGminer, what is your configuration?
