Title: Trying to mine Darkcoin with 7850 and 6950, best settings?
Post by: googlemaster1 on November 15, 2014, 08:09:22 AM
I've been searching for these cards specs on Darkcoin but its been so long since i've mined Darkcoin (it was a hot summer) but now my desktop is back in action ready to mine.  Can someone help me out?

I'm using my SGMiner from May: sgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.simpledrk.com:3353 -u Address -p x -w 128 -I 13 -k darkcoin


Is there a better more targeted approach?  Is there a more effecient miner out now?

Dude, I've been so damn busy lately, I just don't have the time to research it.  Its seriously because my girlfriend is cold and i told her i can just fire up a few GPU's in the bedroom at night, but I figure if I'm going to support the Darkcoin network, I outta do it right.  Thanks for the info though!

Well shit, if that's your main reason, you should be mining scrypt!  Might I suggest (since it's kinda for your girlfriend and all)   Dobbscoin! The ONLY Crypto-Currency accepted on the Pleasure Saucers of the X-ists!  I just gotta say, nothing says SLACK like warming yourself with the cheery glow of a GPU or two.  "Bob" Approves!
