Wha....?

Oh, it's not that, but every junky alt coin out there has it's town crier trying to manipulate the coin's price for the moment, and it just seems to cheapen the work that went into this coin.  Though we're really happy to have your enthusiasm  Nobody serious here is looking for a quick buck but want to see this coin actually achieve that golden pedestal of real usability by a significant proportion of the population.

Hope you stick around though, we do need enthusiasm and we do try to make people aware that we exist, just in a more business like fashion

I'm the same way.  It hurts for me to go on social sites, but I'm also doing my part on reddit

try lowering intensity, that helped me (you're talking about the number changing/flashing really fast on the left, right?)  well, also see my other post above ^

We're not even a blip on the radar yet, but I think that's good.  It's funny eduffield said he wanted to have the same kind of growth Bitcoin had, and though it's expedited, it's really amazing how closely we're following their footprints.  On an expedited timeline, yes, but similar growth pattern.

Close enough to be the same problem.  Try lowering your intensity.  On this algorithm, you don't want intensity as high as you can get it, you need to experiment to see the best spot.  The pool is helpful that way, because it will not only show you % rejected, but also actual hash rate (what they're really getting from you vs. the wallet)

You too, get in line!!!  (need an evil grin smily so bad!!

You too, eizh, the paddle is hard and ready!!! 

Honest Tim, if I could spank you right now, I would!!!! 

I just recognized his name, he comes every once in a while begging....

Not again, I need a head-banging on wall smilie! 

You can turn cash into bitcoin at http://www.coinbase.com then transfer that to any of the exchanges for dark.  I'm below 1 coin a day now, but still mining   Hoping to buy tomorrow!

That's really cool!  Big, but cool, LOL 

nope, I'm glad it is profitable.  I got the idea that other coins were doing a lot better?  I have such small "rigs", can't even call them that, LOL, but I get about 1 coin a day with them, so I'm cool too.

Then I'm just as confused about the hit and runs, unless it's just a whale coming in to rape the coin at low difficulty, driving the difficulty straight up, then leaving 'cause they can't rape it like they thought (KGW)?

Try without a config file, it isn't necessary unless you solo or p2pool mine.  If it still doesn't sync, then add the nodes at the beginning of this thread. 

I think (efnet) #darkcoin belongs to the pool bigc represents, but that's not a bad thing!  Looks  like they have a lot of support!

I think it's because people come in, try to mine, find it's not profitable and leave again.  At current rates, mining is not profitable, not even close.  But if you believe the coin will be useful and well accepted in the future, you don't mind mining it at current rates.

Most of the people here that "believe" in this coin, and I'm one, don't want it hyped but would rather see it increase in value naturally.  However, that'll be a pipe's dream, LOL.  Cryptos are a rollercoaster ride no matter what!

Still get the same number of coins paid out over a period of time.  When we hit a block, you get more coins at once.  It's a great pool, seriously!

I think the problem with this is that the wallet that initiates the transaction is the one that has to do the work (break up the payment and throw it into the pool, the client just retrieves what it's owed.  Although the initiating client could foreseeably put it's amounts into several pools, but that requires a larger network of transactions happening.  Right now, not that many people are trading coins at any one time.

Well, on the other hand, having been hit and survived, they may become stronger.  Certainly they've fixed their loopholes!  I just hope all exchanges remain open so that everyone can be on guard when something new happens, and fix any similar loops.
