But these coins are not profitable. That's the main issue why I went back to mining regular scrypt.

It is very profitable. Especially where electricity is expensive such as Australia where it's 0.26 per kilowatt hour.


Really? What miner are you using? I get about 3800 KH/s with X11 and this is at 300 watts. If I were to mine DRK today at 10 cents per per MW/hr I would LOSE 41 cents. Scrypt is more profitiable in every instance that I have tried. Please show me the numbers, because if you are using the same sgminer that 99% of us are you are likely not paying attention to the numbers. I just cannot see how X11 has gone this far with so little recognition of this problem.

Here let me make it easy for you. How much hashing power do you have and what is the killowatts reading at the wall? I will show you right here if your claim is true or not.

2880 with scrypt, 1200w from wall
12400 with x11 , 600w from wall

have fun

the old miner just went public Smiley
you can find it here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhfbr8xh6zw0gi0/AABpOqIB8QvMfCnpV_2MPLoia/x11-sgminer-win-x86_64-build1.zip

you can get 3.5mh on 280X with the right conf Wink

still far away from the private one


Has anyone tested this file?

any suggestion on settings for r9 270 msi smos/bamt?

I am stuck at 1320ish, I have heard people getting up to 1360kh

I am wondering what effect xintensity, rawintensity and thread concurrency actually have on the hashrates. My baseline hashrate according to google search for my r9 270x is around 1350. I got mine bumped up to 1420 running stable and can push it up to 1475 or so. What I am curious about is what multiple of our shader should be used for x11

Would someone mind posting an example bat file for sgminer for mining Darkcoin?  I'm thinking of puchasing a few 280x GPUs.  Thanks.   Smiley
the 280x bat looks like: sgminer -k darkcoin -o x -u x -p x -g 1 -w 256 -I 13 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8191 --shaders 2048
280x~2.15-2.2mh/s

DASH is the future of crypto payments!
great X11, great darkcoin!

Mining DARKCOIN is like a BIG piece of ICE for me, on this summer comming in ITALY !!!

sorry to say this guys but x11 is just groestl + quark it does 3 times better on gpu than on cpu (as groestl standolone does too) but considering cost and power it's pretty good ... just not the breakthrough it is hyped to be.
Could you expand on this? Is there a way for 'equal effort = equal reward' across the algorithms? Maybe it is just hype if this is not a real solution

All this means is that the X11 miner is poorly coded and not taking full advantage of the GPU.

Not necessarily. There are different components (producing different amounts of heat) in a video card that can or can not be used in a miner of certain algorithm(s).

All the claims of a secret super-optimized X11 miner out there but absolutely zero proof. Not even a screenshot (easily faked of course, but still not even that). How bout we show some real evidence, or even better the actual miner. I'll happily throw some bitcoin your way, and I'm sure others would as well...except I don't think it actually exists   Roll Eyes

yeah i just got it and i am getting around 5mh with my old 7950

Could you please tell us more about this miner? Thanks a lot in advance.

hehe  you are right Wink around 3 times more efficient i can see 6.23mh per 280X
checkout the deep web

Could you share it? i tried to find anything like that, but i probably used not as deep web as you did

He's just trolling.

nahuh I got nearly 6mh per 280x here Tongue you gotta use some crazyass tor search Wink


but sersly x11 is like how bitcoin was this time last year, kinda exciting, no body knows whos doing what where how whyyy?!

Shed a little more light on this my friend?

i am pretty sure after more search that there is a better miner than the private one i have
some people are getting some crazy shit hash 1.5GH to 2GH but don't know with what hardware they are doing it (ASICS perhaps?)
these mining world is plenty of assholes and scammers .... i continue to mine x11 till my miner goes public
