maybe you can choose currency from: www.cpu-coin.com contained all cpu mining tutorials. Hey, the site lists X11 as CPU coins, but X11 is minable with GPU, wondering  X11 is not to bad on a good CPU, nothing like the gap other algos have in comparison to GPU vs CPU. A high end CPU was equivalent to a mid range GPU (in my case 7850). So if you have the CPU already why not mine with it. Not a bad idea to have a bad ass CPU ready for a new algo that is CPU only in the beginning... like X11 was with dark. Makes even more sense if its gonna be your daily driver. |

Not allot of good CPU coins. Monero favors the AMD it seems (like the only plus for AMD cpu's), have you considered i74930? 6c/12t does pretty well when you have something good to throw at.

OK, everyone. The option to join porn.com with Wankcoins is now live. Be gentle.  This is what I'll coin (hehe) a soft launch. Assuming things don't go to hell, the option will spread to many more sites next week. You don't think the market can assign a higher value to the coin than 10 cents per WKC? .. market already had a value on the coin almost double that if I am not mistaken. Completely Retarded... stable value was about 8k satosh each, which is less than 10cent  stable? A brand new alt that is on 1 thinly traded exchange should know nothing of stability. I don't see the point in trying to peg the exchange rate, unless your totally happy with 10c per coin on what you have already mined (cough cough). |

I have one... its rough..I don't care much about the cosmetics though. I intended on welding steal plate all over it and making it my mad max apocalypse vehicle..
A lady pulled out in front of me in 2010 and I hit her. When looking for comps for insurance (they totaled it for bumper and fender wrinkle) i realized they were increasingly hard to find.
Been sitting in my driveway for a few years now .. I probably won't get back to it for many years. If somebody Realy wanted it I would entertain it .. otherwise I would keep it and not actively look to sell. PM me if interested, Chicago area (probably not but I have seen this post so many times now....)

It was a completely fair launch, the difficulty was low and the reward was high, a lot of users were able to solo mine HASH. Our p2pool was also at 330+ MH/s for the first 48 hours of the coin..So basically for the ones that were here on launch will benefit for supporting the coins early moments.
That's a fair comment, although not one that I agree with. E.g. I don't agree with the statement that "a lot of users were able to solo mine HASH", but apart from a few comments from people that were continually getting blocks that were quickly orphaned, I don't have any evidence to back that up. But I don't see any sense in debating these points. I just wanted people who are thinking of mining or investing in HASH to be aware of the large number of HASH that were mined in the first few hours compared to the time since then. Seems to be the norm now, controlled variables form a dev with a huge advantage. When it is launched, how much notice given, miners available, wallets available (what platform), pools available, rescheduled launches...ect ect. There is only one reason to stack currency issuing in the first few hours when you control all the cards. Instamine. The race is over before anyone knew there was a race. To many people enabling this behavior. |

Bump. Still deciding whether I want to ship these out or not. Leaning towards no, but I can be swayed if someone can tell me the right way to pack computer components, or if I can find the right way myself. In the meantime, prices dropped on the 7970s.
I ship stuff all the time, I hate hassle and just use the USPS flat rate boxes. Video cards and motherboards I have been shipping in medium flat rate (rectangle not square) boxes with anti stat bags around the devices taped shut then bubble wrap. I break down the box and include it along with accessories. larger items like your PSU may fit in a large flat rate and your options open up as long as you or your buyer don't care about maintaining the original packaging. For the smaller items like CPUs / memory/ media , If they fit in a small flat rate box with bubble wrap its good otherwise a medium square and bubble/paper/peanuts. I just keep a bunch of the flat rate boxes on hand (all sizes) since they are free from the post office and they are ready to go. No need to deal with people asking for shipping quotes all over the county... just print a label tape it to the box then check the box for a pick up outside your door or put in the mailbox or drop it off. This is just how I do it, I have gotten good feedback on my packaging on ebay and I make it so simple that I get crap out of my house quickly... (might pay more for the flat rate but the low hassle means I will actually sell stuff) I PM'd you a few days ago, I am interested in the CPU and possibly the PSU. |

The job interview analogy is a sales pitch. You don't need to be so desperate to sell yourself when you got the goods and nobody else does. Seems like we already went over that. Sales pitches are for shitcoins
No, just trying to use an analogy to display that I'm not having the argument you're pretending to have with me... But that's too many times you've gone your own way instead of paying attention. Is there a point to the argument you're having with yourself? Will you every notice or acknowledge the rather different topic I've presented instead of your own made-up angry bit? I do like your point of dark being avoiding the criminals in high places though, I can see that applying. And the monopoly market-share point is also valid. Not what I was focusing on... But still valid points. I woke up with a boner this morning. A valid point as well, but not related... I just don't care that much about this conversation anymore... I've said what I wanted to say (with little interest from anyone), and you're talking about something else... I'm tired. Buying some more DRK once my BTC confirms, then going to bed. You continue to say and reference how bad the name is and invoke RapeYourDaughterCoin on different posts and how the anonymous features should not be showcased. Most everything I said was about the relevance of the name to adoption and criminal perception even if you couldn't follow. gday... You lie. I believe anonymity should be showcased. But in a way that demonstrates that it's not any more anonymous than cash, because that it the point being failed in propaganda already. The bottom line is that the word 'dark' does not mean what you're pretending it means. You and I understand the meaning you're using, but the rest of the world already sees it as CrimeCoin and using the word Dark only solidifies it as such. You're subscribing tot he idea that all attention is good attention, but you're wrong."Just as anonymous as the cash that has existed for centuries." is the idea you're claiming, but you're advertising "Money for Crime!" instead. It seems like an attention-geting scheme, but not a good one. If I want to draw attention to myself or my product, in this case, a cryptocoin, I don't walk up to a cop and shout "hey look at me, free methamphetamine for everybody!" I'm not suggesting a new name at this point. It's already been changed. I'm saying that this name is a dead albatross and effort will need to be made to explain what Dark means in the context WE want it to be seen, not the way the pre-existing shadow has already been cast. If you don't make that effort, then it will be, by default, seen in the light already cast on all cryptocurrencies; as CrimeCoin and ScamCoin and RapeTYourDaughterCoin and MtGoxFuckedUsAllCoin. If you want to use the word Dark in a completely different way than most people use it, then you'r going to have to say something about it in an infographic, like the one a few pages back that fails to do so... Emphasize it's anonymity through parallels with things already viewed as benign, not by making it sound like a bad thing. I don't buy hand lotion that advertises it's uncanny ability to strip flesh from bone. Neither would you... The Media and Politicians are taking the "If you have nothing to hide, then you don't care if we're spying on you" approach. You need to counter that, not make it worse. You Lie.. I clearly stated and made many paragraphs (waste of time) about how the utility of the coin was what is important and the branding was irrelevant if this was the only coin that provided the features (you later related this back to the irrelevance of your erection). The first post you responded to you even bolded where I said " The name is irrelevant" & " I could give 2 shits about branding and market cap" " I think dark is perfect.. not that I really care.". Your the one not paying attention, you just want to spew the same thing over and over as if everyone is to stupid to understand your wisdom... Blah blah blah stupid masses. I could take the time to show you how not showcasing (hint..#1syn Advertise) the anonymous (hint dark) features is exactly what your position is and the reason to not call it something like dark. This would be a waste of time also since your real position is: But this messenger knows what he is talking about.
Should have stopped right there, as name calling and attitude was inevitable. A wise person would take my presence in this thread as an indicator that DarkCoin is a good idea that stands out among all other AltCoins.
You can't force people to be smart. I've tried... I'm getting a DeJa Vu feeling... :-p
I woke up with a boner this morning. A valid point as well, but not related...
And numerous other posts of general jackassery Darkmail / Darknet / Darkwallet / darkweb /ect ect ect (PR 2/24/2014) Black Phone from Silent Circle & Geeksphone. Phone targeted as a privacy/security minded platform http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/blackphone-launches-at-mobile-world-congress-2014-246857881.html(PR 2/26/2014) Black Smartphone from Boeing. A secure phone platform targeted at government http://www.boeing.com/boeing/defense-space/ic/black/index.pageWithin 2 days of each other same similar black (syn dark) branding and same purpose, coincidence? Been here with btc probably before you and this is also the first alt I am really interested in since name coin. No need to turn the tread into a personal trading blog and masturbation posts. Intelligent arguments won't fix a shitty attitude & personality. done ignore |

I'm not putting anyone in a position to defend RapeYourDaughterCoin. I'm making an analogy. Straw man, dead.
I'm not calling you wrong. I'm saying that ignoring reality does not change reality.
There exists a stigma. It's a fact. You've 'embraced' it, but who else will? You're essentially saying "Yes, we mean to be the CrimeCoin for which BitCoin only managed to be a half-measure." When you could be saying "It's no more criminal than cash."
You and I both know that there is no difference. Functionally, they do the same thing regardless of the propaganda or marketing. But propaganda and marketing do affect the weak minds of the general population. They already view BitCoin as CrimeCoin because they are weak-minded, so coming out and calling yourself WayMoreCrimeCoin isn't helpful. I'm not saying the sky will fall as a result, just that it isn't helping... I could wet my pants in a job interview, and it might not ruin my chances if everyone else does worse, but it isn't going to help me... I could just NOT wet my pants, how's that? Just like I can NOT stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork. I can also NOT name my altcoin in such a way as to make people even more stupidly wary of something they're already stupidly wary about... You can't force people to be smart. I've tried...
It's a moot point because changing the name at this point is silly. I still like ChameleonCoin tho...
Personally, I love Crime, and I'd love CrimeCoin. Crime is just the act of taking back human rights stolen by government. I'm proud of Crime. Crime is good. But, how many people understand that and agree with me? Maybe I should get an "I Love Crime" t-shirt...
The reality is that anonymous transactions is the point of this coin. What other selling point does it have.. X11? so implement another hash function then we got X12 no big deal..diffrent algos are common now. I don't get the mentality, why is somebody going to use this over bitcoin. If one of these "weak minded" people ask what makes DarkCoin better you will come back to darksend (darkness). The job interview analogy is a sales pitch. You don't need to be so desperate to sell yourself when you got the goods and nobody else does. Seems like we already went over that. Sales pitches are for shitcoins. If you build it they will come. Being ahead of the curve for BTC/precious metals adoption I see being early on the true reason for something like dark the same way. After 5 years continuous snooping revaluations people can feel very different about Drk/privacy just like how 10 years ago nobody was talking about the Fed or at least as mainstream of a topic. Look at "Darkmail" and "blackphone".. dark and black can come to mean security in the lawless world we are living in. Essentially turning the used only for criminals mentality your talking about to the protection from the criminals (inside and outside the governments). BTW I support re-branding to RYDC or RYDZ.. just kidding I think dark is perfect.. not that I really care. |

BitCoin was adopted because it was a new technology with a use. DarkCoin is not new. It's jsut another cryptocurrency in the minds of the masses, if they even manage to hear about it. And said masses already view BitCoin as CrimCoin. DarkCoin only names itself worse... I don't give a shit what it's called, either. I don't give a shit about marketing, either. I DO give a shit about the success of a damn good idea, and naming it RapeYourDaughterCoin doesn't help it succeed.
Let me say it another way... I don't care if a guy has tattoos and piercings all over his face, if he does a damn good job, I'm giving him a raise. But, how many people like me do you think there are? How many job interviews will he be thrown out of before he finds me and I hire him?
There is a pall cast whether you like it or not. Anything cryptocurrency is already thought of as CrimeCoin. That's reality. Ignoring reality does not result in success. Naming it in a way that amplifies this already existing shadow doesn't help it succeed. That's just how it is.
I'm nobody's boss here, I could barely make the stuff work and am considered an asshole just because I'm not king high nerd. But this messenger knows what he is talking about. Ignoring reality will hurt your coin. If I invented RapeYourDaughterCoin and it did everything exactly the way BitCoin does, a perfect clone, and BitCoin never existed... How well do you think that would have gone? And that's in a vaccuum... You're not operating in a vacuum, a shadow is already cast, RapeYourDaughterCoin would do even worse today than it would have as the groundbreaking leader.
No, the name won't make it succeed. But, it can make it fail.
Ah yes... put somebody in a position where they have to defend something as ridiculous as "RapeYourDoughterCoin" coin ... nice tactic. I will re-brand it to (RYDC) Your saying Bitcoin (BTC) was successful because it was new technology , I said because it solved double spend problem so we agree . You say dark coin is not new . If DRK (let' substitute RYDC) implements anonymous features first in the next few days that no other coin has in the most efficient way then you are incorrect. If RYDC was the only coin that was truly anonymous then yes I would use RYDC and so would you. You would use it because you are the type of person who can see past tattoos and piercings and value it based on what it is instead of an irrelevant name. If the decision comes down to conducting my illegal raw milk commerce in RYDC's or potentially getting tracked down I will use RYDC's. People seem to think that using the coin in the way it is being designed (and arguably intended) is somehow wrong and we should pretend that it is not really the reason why this coin was created. I say embrace it. Without dark send nobody would care. The real reason people are complaining (probably earlier adopters) is because they see this as an investment instead of a currency. If I am going to trade my raw milk or illegal honey for DRK/RYDC do you think I care what the USD value is if I am converting or trading? Just like BTC If you are earning and spending coins tied back to a more stable value like USD (*relatively) then it does not affect you much. However it seems most people are not here for free market currency but more for get rich quick. Government is going to drive adoption of something like this because of making everything over regulated and illegal (as I was referencing with milk and honey that non "criminals" can understand). "Dark" in the parlance of our time is about being hidden and anonymous and it is a positive thing not a negative. It's not just about heroin and kidiporn eventually most of us will have a use for something like DRK/RYDC because we will all be made into criminals. I can see it now kids speak easy lemonade stands because they have been shut down by bureaucrats and badge thugs and are accepting DRK and RYDC's. What did RYDC's stand for I forgot... Kind of like how googole/google became a verb. |

Bitcoin's success is due to the fact that the name does NOT hint at how it may be used
No.. It was successful because it solved the double spend problem. The name was completely irrelevant in comparison... If you don't agree with me on that then it is pointless. Shitcoins need to worry about branding because that's all they have. Is this a shitcoin? Is it more like doge or bitcoin? Like how I quoted only the relevant sentence and aborted all the rest? ...oddly ironic Respecting peoples time and not always re quoting paragraphs and paragraphs of crap is indeed nice editing more people should do it. |

DarkCoin is what bitcoin should have been. Some might call it "Bitcoin 2.0" but would do better by saying:
"DarkCoin is digital cash."
+1 But that's why I think its better to call it D-coin or something else (not related to dark) New people will think that darkcoin is related to illegal things and thats not the intention, idea of it. Maybe it will scare/put off (I don't know the right word) some people...No? . blah blah blah |

I tend to agree with this. The name itself will be the reason darkcoin is never widely accepted by, er, "normal" people (also can't think of the right word sorry). It doesn't matter how great it is, give it a shady or evil sounding name and it's doomed.
Not that I condone criminal activity, but to be honest, that is how bitcoins gained some traction. I don't think any rational person will see the name darkcoin and say, oh, I can't use that, as it's an evil coin used for bad things. If so, they wouldn't use bitcoins or any currency either. It's not like someone made a coin called devilcoin (although give them time, they are sort of running out of names).... Bitcoin - litecoin - darkcoin ... has a nice ring to it, and perhaps darkcoin becomes the copper to litecoin's silver. Although litecoin isn't doing particularly well either lately. Actually, I see Darkcoin becoming MySpace's FaceBook! I'm not thinking small I think a fork of dark will be more successful because of how it was launched. More like litecoin to tenebrix. |

It doesn't matter how great it is, give it a shady or evil sounding name and it's doomed. The name is irrelevant, Bitcoin was not adopted because its name but more so because of libertarian values and adopters/enthusiasts being aware of what is going on the economy/banking. If dark can provide anonymous "dark" transactions it could be called purple unicorn coins for all I care.. Dark is good branding for people in the know ie tor darknet stuff. If joe blow isn't aware of what dark means he will soon enough.. with every Snowden leak or bullshit passed law/corrupt lawless judge's decision is making people more aware. It is like built in marketing because we all know what governments agenda is just like how cypress bumped up bitcoin. I could give 2 shits about branding and market cap. Freedom is where it's at, make a coin that facilitates free commerce even silk road style commerce that bypasses bullshit laws and market cap & awareness will take care of itself. Makes me wonder why people are here promoting an anonymous coin if they care about mainstream perceptions.. perhaps cat coin is the better choice for them. Agreed! Why the hell would average joe be interrested in this coin already? There is already bitcoin for your every day needs if you dont care too much about being anonymous. I like the sound of "purple unicorn"-coin though. The dogecoin of the the black market. So lsd, much wow! While I agree completely that the name is irrelevant when considering the technological and political advances, I don't think you can rule out the importance of a good name, branding, and marketing. Most startups fail because of distribution issues rather than technology issues. The more engineering-minded tend to place all the importance on technology, that this product will sell itself. Very few products actually succeed in selling themselves. If you look at Dogecoin, you can see the power of great marketing and branding. The technology is completely worthless and the coin will no doubt fail long term, but without widespread awareness of a brand name/coin, the coin will also invariably fail long term. Look at the viral success of Apple products(I know another touchy subject for bitcoin enthusiasts atm). With Apple, a business model of function following form created the largest company in the world. I'm not saying in order to succeed Darkcoin has to focus primarily on branding, but it has to be a high priority for the best chances of widespread adoption. Doge is popular because there is a shit tone of them and it is a novelty and everyone can feel like a "winner" because they have some. long term it is a different kind of joke. Branding is important if your trying to trick the masses that don't know any better, like having a relevant seeming statement like "silver to bitcoins gold" to newcomers that are here for profit motive only and don't really have a clue. "think different" yeah cause apple people are totally about individuality.. people who fall for branding are so funny. |

Let the tech speak for itself. The statement "silver to bitcoin's gold" is a marketing gimmick and a complete joke. It has nothing to do with what ltc offers other than total supply but that is not really relevant because BTC divisibility (physical item comparison is irrelevant) and flood of scrypt coins. |

Can anyone make a decentralized drug market please? Silkroad is fucked. I can sell over there ..
(potato's)
I missed this boat completly , started mining today , 50 coin per day *.*.
This coin can shoot up to 100m marketcap if it has a good running drugmarket. Silkroad is fucked.
The solution is decentralized anonymous market.. so you don't have idiots taking a huge cut loosing coins and general jackassery. It will happen... it has too. |
