Darkcoin actually has proof of concept of true anonymity, from the wallet, and will be integrated into the current wallet in a week or so (after making sure it's stable).  It is worthy of note, and that's not to mention the 11 algorithms that make up the proof of work.  Very difficult to translate to GPU's let alone ASICs  It'll be a cpu miner for the foreseeable future.  This is important because it makes the coin and it's rewards attainable by all, therefore more people will mine it, and therefore it becomes more difficult to attain >50% share of the hashing power.  It also has a flexible unique difficulty level, so it remains a viable place to mine, without giving away the coin.

Frankly, this coin is the best put together coin that I've seen so far, but I'll admit, I don't know it all

I'm sorry to say that win 32 is unlikely to get support because cpu miners running 32 bit are horribly slow.  They do fine with graphics processing units though, but this coin is designed to be difficult to translate to other processors so that something like asic units don't take over.  With specialized equipment that can hash out coins at such supersonic rates, the systems, such as bitcoins, have consequently gotten into the hands of fewer and fewer people.  Bitcoin can probably handle that, but it would make a quick death for a new coin starting out as a single entity could gain more than 50% of the hash rate, allowing them to insert false info into the system. 

You could easily get around this by installing a 64 bit version of linux (preferably Ubuntu), duel booting your system, or resorrecting an old machine for new work.?  Anyway, sorry about that :-(

I get so busy, and have missed a lot!  Congrats on getting on an exchange!  And it's so exciting that we're getting so close to having a fully functional anonymous wallet soon!  Well done!

another +1 for DRK (Darkcoin)

it's my windows 7 desktop that crashed.  Still running diagnostics, bunch of pci's in device mngr that are unknown.  Weird, no system backups survived??  I'll get it running again, just want to do step by step to be sure all is ok.  It wasn't malware at least none was found, it was me running too much on the poor thing at once, LOL.

AAAHHHH!  I KNEW there was a trick, LOL.  I'm really late to this game, a total newb, so had no idea, LOL.  Thanks for cluing me in

I did now, opened an account, got a worker up, then tried to start, but then it didn't work, LOL, then I read notice was for the future   I put myself back up on the old one then now I have to make a worker with the same name as old worker

What a day, my power supply burned out last night and I had to wait and beg hubby to buy me a new one (and thankfully the salesman talked him into getting me a nice corsair so hopefully it'll last a while??  dunno??  Anyway, i burn them out far too often.  In the mean time, my desktop crashed, LOL.  Internet is still not working and I'm not exactly sure what happened.... still working on it, but at least my Ubuntu is up and running again

Thanks CHAOSiTEC  

oh, and one more question, because I'm curious, not accusatory or anything like that, LOL.  I'm curious about hardware.  I haven't been mining perfectly this whole time but I have been mining since the start and have about 600 Xcoin.... er... darkcoin, LOL.  I see some people have 50,000!  What kind of cpu could they be using to get so many?  I just have regular duel core phenoms, so I know I'm a lightweight, but which processors do that kind of heavy lifting? (not that I could afford to get one, LOL)

Perfect!  thanks!

Now I've got a question, not specific to this version of miner

I've always gotten very few accepted (112 kh/s) and until I get an accepted, I look like I'm off line at my pool.  Is this normal?

She's ALIVE!

I don't know what I was doing wrong, but as I suspected, some good rest and I was finally able to compile, LOL

On another note, the windows 7 binary miner ig0tik3d posted doesn't work on my system either (win 7)   Does the one on the front page still work?  It's still called Xcoin (which might get confusing for newcomers?

Thank you dear, I already have that installed.  I'm going to try again later, I'm afraid I'm too tired right now.  Thanks for helping, hopefully my miner will be working until I can update??  

I know I'm being really stupid, but when doing the sudo apt-get install autotools-dev  libcurl-dev automake, I get:


me@me-Ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install autotools-dev libcurl-dev automake

Sorry for being a blockhead!

Would you be so kind to explain step by step how to compile?  I am on 64bit ubuntu and am getting no such file when I do ./configure etc...  I used $ sudo git clone https://github.com/ig0tik3d/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.2 to download.  To tell you the truth, I don't know what the difference is in the different commands, LOL.  Thanks for any help!

Wow, I missed a lot!

I liked X11, but understand the problem, though if you add coin to the end, you don't get the Linux stuff...

Darkcoin is good too, glad no annonecoin because there already is one.  They use the invisible internet i2p and tor to hide their transactions.  I'd love it for eduiffield to give us a pros/cons between our Darkcoin vs this system?  Certainly, I like a less restrictive number of coins to make them more usable (anoncoin has very few coins total)

I don't have time to compile a new miner, is it necessary?  Will you keep the old pool address going a while, CHAOSiTEC?

LOL, oops, I'm slow  LOL

Congratulations, blacksuit!!!!

a week or so ago, I updated my Ubuntu to the latest, then set up mining and my other stuff, but it was unstable and finally crashed!  LOL.  So the last two days I've been doing a fresh install then reinstalling all my programs, ugh!  Finally got it running (cross my fingers) smoothly!

So anyone know how hard it is to get on coinwarz?  LOL, I like to see the charts and see how difficult, etc... the coins are currently to mine!

Well, today is the big LOTTERY at http://xco.lotterymining.com!  You need to be actively mining to participate, so make sure you are!  The  money is rolling in steady now too!  The jackpot is over 112 XCO

BTW, I'm just a client who wants to see our pool grow, nothing more!

Wow, it's that open eh?

Still, this example implies that one could still link up the amounts of the transactions to find the end users.  How unique are transaction amounts, and how hard would it be to hide that level?  Is there a breaking up of the payment so that the amounts are harder to compare or something?  Or am I missing something due to the simplification of the explanation?  

At the xcoin explorer site http://explorer.xcoin.co/block/00000000068ff1c40a8cc39b920bc49fcf841fd131805558450efaf8072f5b9c, I can understand this one transaction, I think?  A block was found, created a payout of 122 coins to address 1, which paid out to two other accounts, presumably a pool minus fees?  Is that what I'm seeing?

Now on your sample explorer, it is indeed more complex looking to me.  But I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, LOL.  Could you explain a bit more what is happening?  Thanks!

That's so cool you got it working, but could you explain to those of us that aren't knowledgeable what it all means please?  I understand how it's supposed to work, I just don't understand how to read the chart,   

I also feel that if you were to explain it, there would be great interest from the public!  Thanks!

Thank you for the tip, eduffield !

Anyone looking for a pool, come over to http://xco.lotterymining.com !  We're a small pool, and I would like to see it grow for two reasons.  First, to have a more steady income, and second, to make Xcoins well diversified to avoid the pitfalls of having one group getting close to the 50% mark, destabilizing the currency's integrity.

Don't forget, There is a 20 XCO reward for the first (20? I think) people to join and mine for at least a week!  Plus, a lottery drawing every week of which an extra 100 XCO has been donated for the first 4(If I remember correctly) weeks!  First drawing will be January 28th, but you have to be actively mining to play!  Also, remember 50% of the fees go toward the lottery and are paid out to the lucky winner each week.  So come join the fun, and build up our pool!!!

Also, remember;  a smaller pool gives larger rewards, but less frequently.  It all adds up to the same thing, but we'd like to grow so that we get rewarded more often.  Please check us out  (BTW, it's not my pool, I'm just in it )

LOL, thanks   I really don't need to be bribed 'cause I actually like the plan for this coin.  I'm trying my hand at remaking the logo (actually, I like the coin, and am only trying to make it look more realistic, and then I'm going to try my hand at animating it, but I'm not fast at this stuff and have kids, etc... LOL... so may not get it done in time, but will try.

Done!  Happy for a tip   XkGF4JLWG3Jfksyy1hz289vuAQmzeRHjqq
