Hi,

I try to register for Free trial azure account.
They ask me my card number?
I have to put one to obtain the free trial??? But didn't use it? Can you confirm about this?

Thanks,

Yes, you do, sorry.

Honest Tim,

You seem to know a lot about Azure.  May I ask, what happens when I run out of money on the free trial? Do they start charging me on my credit card until I cancel? Thank you.
No they wont.

You dont even have to cancel subscription, it ends when you run out of money.

Cool Thanks Crike.

Ok,

I just register... Try to figure how it's working...
I have to create a virtual server? Which is best O/S for running minerd?


On Azure I believe that you can get a linux machine for like half the cost of a Windows box so it will last 2x as long. I'd recommend Ubuntu 12.04

Oh... Yes you are right, if linux cheaper I'll try this thanks.

So I don't understand - I started up a trial of Azure - 20 cores - and my account statement says that I am using about $12/day of the $200 - so at that rate I will get almost 17 days out of the trial - Am I missing something - is it really only going to be good for 4 days and the account page is just not accurate?


I'm doing the same thing, at about $13/day, it looks like. I would think this should last a lot longer than 3 days. I'm not sure why it ran out so fast for the other poster, unless he had a bunch of cores not running longer than that, and it ate up his credit? I'm doing the 8/8/4 cpu setup to get to 20. Is this the best way to go, or should we break it all up into 4s?

Well, believe it or not I havn't finished my trial yet. I watched the youtube vid the guy did about quark mining a couple of times, then did mine. I have configured and deleted 9 machines 3 times now so I sort of have head around it. I am most definately doing 8,8 and 4. With all the things that have gone on recently, GPU mining around the corner (which I won't be able to do) and how awesome this coin is looking I say strike hile the irons hot!

One odd thing I noticed is that in my pools it may say something like my hash should get 25-30 DRK/Day, yet my actual DRK received is much less than that. I am new to this sort of thing, so am I reading that wrong? Although with this recent change, I do see more coins coming in now... so maybe it will catch up somewhat.

Don't worry m$ won't rip you off. Just make sure you cancel at the end.

I'll try.
Another question,sould it's possible to make another free trial with another windows/account and credit card? may be also with other IP?

Yes you are.
It's how long you have / how many cores etc up and running.
Up and running means built / configured, even if they are shut down!!!

The only way to stop the clock is to delete them. I just spent 3/4 hour plus reconfiguring mine.
Remember ONLY deleting can stop the $$$'s from ticking down!

Well mine aren't shutdown - they are running, have been since last week - about 4-5 days I think - hopefully they can make a little DRK now that the diff has dropped!

how many virtual machines and with how many cores?

I'm new to Darkcoin, are these good levels to buy at? What do you guys see this coin heading to within the next couple months? Thanks.

Kind Regards

You have to make that decision, but:

1. Darkcoin is only at 1 working exchange (the other two have to re-implement the new wallet) and it's been going up steady.  Soon, more exchanges will have us, and that means more people will know about us, so I suspect it will go much higher.

2. Darkcoin's developer has a working implementation of true anonymity that just has to have the bugs worked out.  It will be the first and only coin that can do this from the wallet.  Keeping all your transactions private.

3.  Darkcoin is a CPU only coin, and though we just had a scare that someone has implemented a GPU miner for darkcoin, it no longer seems likely.  Someone got ahold of a lot of cores and ran them over the weekend, probably at a university or something??

Darkcoin will eventually have someone implement a GPU miner, we don't know when.  In fact our developer is working on one for the community but hasn't completed it yet. It's hard to do with 11 algorithms.  His goal is to follow the same trajectory Bitcoin took.  First a CPU miner for a while, then a GPU and then, eventually, if popular enough, someone might make ASICs for Darkcoin.  But ASICs are undoubtedly years away.

So what do you think such a coin is worth?   If I had money or other coins, I'd purchase these for sure, but you have to make that decision.

We have everything Vertcoin has PLUS an anonymity feature in Alpha testing.  And I assume you saw what Vertcoin did once people figured out its benefits.

Wow. That is so nice of you.  Would you or anyone else be interested in selling me some (paypal or LTC)?  I'm only holding about 120 darkcoins right now and have used up almost all of my Azure free trial on this.  Stupid me, I let it run while it was on difficulty 90+ since it was a pain to set up for me since I'm new to this and I thought the $200 free trial would last at least a few weeks. It's only been 3 days and I'm almost empty. lol.  I was pushing +1MH/z with Azure (20 core) and my i7 4700.  Also, any tips is appreciated.  I had a late start at darkcoin. Started 3 days ago, but have a feeling this will be the next Vertcoin or better.  XdfWkfeevqRzWn6psNppevgKNDL7LEmuwM   Thank you .
