Aww yeah, I have my CPU mining at about 500kh/s. I am going to make about 15 cents a day on DRK Don't knock it, I have 2 computers with GPUs running and that's all I get! LOL I might have to hit you!!! LOL |
|

How many threads should I set my minerd at when using my i7-4770K? I might also run it on my old Q6600
I leave one out, so for 2 core, I use 1 and for 4 core, I use 3 I think it helps my gpu miner run better??? |

I got the minerd but when I try to run it I get failed to connect at 127.0.0.1:9332. I have the right address in the a.bat for the pool I am pointing to. for worker username do I put in the name.name I chose?
You want to solo mine ? I was starting via minerd.exe and not the .bat file I think you were confusing the bat file with a conf file. If you use the bat file, it should look something like this:
minerd.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://mining.darkcointalk.org:3333 -u You.YourWorker -p YourWorker'sPass -t3t3 being the number of threads (or cores in use) |

I think it's seriously time to steal my kid's computer, LOL

FPGA is running X11  Sorry, what's FPGA? |

Hi guys, noob here:( Sorry for the dumb question but is DRK still minable? I am interested in dabbling with it and am not sure where the best place to start is.
Thanks,
Griff
Try following this guide for cloud mining, as well as mining with your PC: http://www.darkproxy.net/darkcoin-cpu-cloud-mining-guide.php  what kind of hash rates do you get with this CPU cloud mining? Can this be setup on a Windows machine and is it only run on the CPU? I gave up on cloud mining a couple of months ago. It was way too expensive. I highly suggest not doing that, but rather buying the coin on an exchange instead. But from home, it's still good to go I don't know what you'll get on your i7, a hell of a lot more than I'm getting for sure, LOL. I have Pentium core2 duos and get about 20-25 kh/s on each core??? |

Of course ! Welcome!  Mine with p2pool, you can choose some nodes there http://drk.poolhash.org/ What miner software do I need for NVida and AMD, also what algorithm does DRK use. Right now I dabble with Vertcoin on Scrypt-N and get about 900 kh/s. How does that equate on DRK mining, ie coins per day at current diff? Unfortunately we don't have a Nvidia miner  We have several AMD miners though, check out the first post links Also, the cpu miner is very viable still, you can use them side by side. |

Hey, you're obviously a super smart guy, can't you patch P2pool for us? Please? I'm not really super smart and sadly I have some time constraints at present. I'm not that good of a coder either and mostly do networking stuff. I am making progress on some dark mining protocols off the existing P2pool software, but I couldn't take on a bounty for that deadline or even help with it at the moment due to having some other obligations.  Oh taaay .... |

Totally get where you're coming from, don't get me wrong, but "let's hope it's not an achilles heel" are the words on the dying breath of every flawed security scheme since...forever.
I haven't looked into getting a MN running yet because the 14th was a ways off, but I think I'll get a few going this weekend. In doing so I'll see if I can compile some good sources outside of Amazon and preferably outside the US and put a list here and on darkcointalk.
That'll be nice because my free amazon will eventually run out and I'll be looking for an alternative at that point I've had it a while.... |

Apart from Amazon, who else are masternode ops using? (Pref non US)
Speaking of "apart from Amazon"... I would be interested to know what percentage of the 50-odd masternodes are there right now. It'd be easy for them to shut them all down on a whim. Right now, 30 of 55 are running on Amazon. Hence my desire to run my intended others elsewhere. Most masternodes are there right now because there is a detailed guide with screenshots on how to set it up. If some of the members of the community create additional guides on how to set it up in other places, people will be happy to move them. So if any of you guys could write a guide for some other options, please go ahead and do it. True, but cost is also an issue - an Amazon micro instance is basically free. Chaeplins guide can be followed exactly from the part where you're ssh'ed in to your server, regardless of where it is. In fact that part on is the easiest bit. Don't you have to pay for Amazon bandwidth usage? WHat if the bandwidth usage charges are more than the masternode payments? Yup, you do, and yes, it adds up. My problem is that I really don't want to have to monitor my box at home. Mining has been a total pain and my Ubuntu keeps crashing for some reason. My IP is out so often late at night, screwing everything up. It just isn't worth it. Plus the electricity adds up to more than amazon's prices. I have to be practical. so do a lot of people. So we're going to end up with a bunch of amazons. lets hope it's not an Achilles' heel. I already bought a 3 year package, so I'm hoping it will be useful for that length of time, LOL. You can tell I really believe in the "long term" of this coin  You just have to rent a VPS or a private server and install ubuntu. The steps to setup the masternode are the same, there are cheap monthly subscriptions with hosts providing a DDOS protection. I've committed cash to Amazon, so unfortunately, I won't be changing. For better or for worse, I'm stuck |

Right now, 30 of 55 are running on Amazon. Hence my desire to run my intended others elsewhere. The decentralized solution has become centralized. Well, not really, not practically. First off, Amazon has services in something like 6-8 different locations around the world. Plus, each node is owned by different people, they're in control of them, not Amazon. So it's still decentralized. It's not the same as having a handful of servers serving up something like a blockchain, as in android wallets, or mixing service from one or two servers. I am interested in setting up a masternode on a second computer on my home network. I posted before but didn't get any responses. Is it generally not a wise thing to host one on your home computer? Are most people using hosting services? The nodes should really be spread out across different countries and different services. I was figuring that hosting my own gives me more control over it, but, does it make my network more vulnerable to targeted attack? I would obviously be broadcasting my IP, correct? I don't see why you can't be just as safe if you set it up correctly, firewall it etc... and still use a remote wallet. |

Next time I feel bored or have the inclination to mess with it again, I'll move my server to Argentina or Japan, LOL |

Right now, 30 of 55 are running on Amazon. Hence my desire to run my intended others elsewhere. Amazon is cheap, hence the popularity. If mine were shut down, it wouldn't take long to start them up on my local machines though. I see it as a security issue int that if a weakness is found in Amazon EC2's, then a malicious person could knock us all out at once. But like I said, a lot of us could just fire up our locals then pretty quickly. |

Hey, you're obviously a super smart guy, can't you patch P2pool for us? Please?Please explain what ya'all are talking about to us non-coders??? LOL
This is basically a Darkcoin client "code" that helps it identify other Darkcoin clients. Before it was using Litecoin's which was giving people all those wallet syncing errors because their clients were communicating with Litecoin and others. Evan just flipped the order on all the bytes. It's a bit like using http://0xc0.0x40.0x51.0x6a (Hexadecimal IP) to resolve http://darkproxy.net Whoa, I didn't even know you could do that! TIL. Yeah. Kind of cool isn't it. This is the stuff that gets forgotten about. The following will work as well, although not with all browsers... http://3225440618 - Decimal IP's http://0xc040516a - Hexadecimal IP's http://0xc0.0x40.0x51.0x6a - technically a dotted Hexadecimal IP http://0300.0100.0121.0152 - dotted Octal IP's You can add loads of 0's to dotted Octal IP quads, for example; http://000000300.00000000000100.0000121.0000000152It's also possible to mix and match the correctly ordered quads of dotted hexadecimal and dotted octal IP's http://0300.0x40.0x51.0152 or http://0xc0.0100.0121.0x6aYou can also try adding 'fake' authentication to help bypass web filters etc. For example, http://darkcoinstodamoon@0300.0100.0x51.0x6a - (no I'm not trying to trick you), basically everything before the @ symbol is ignored. ~ Always check that the static IP address has not changed - or you might end up 'pinging' the pentagon or something!
