Profitability now in the toilet for DRK.  At almost 400 difficulty, in terms of scrypt, mining DRK right now i should be averaging about 0.088 BTC for ~12 MH/day (35MH for DRK) of power, assuming .002 DRK/BTC rate holds.  This is at least 50% worse than any auto-switching scrypt pool.  Guess I'm pulling up stake here.

Great coin concept though, I enjoyed being part of it for a while! Good work Devs.

I just noticed this also. I went from 82 coins a day to 32 in just one day.

Thank-you for the testing and for sharing your results.

I'm seeing almost the exact same hash rate from my 7950s while mining DRK, and while anecdotally I know they're running way cooler, I don't have a Kill-A-Watt to test the power draw. Taking your idle draw into account, it seems that each 7950 draws roughly 100W extra mining DRK versus 265W mining LTC. Saving 165W per card shaves an awful lot off the electric bill when they're going full throttle 24/7 Smiley

It sure does!  Cheesy


Yea I am in the same boat. My power is a little over half the last testing. This coin is saving me money on my power bill so I am taking that into account when deciding what ti mine. But like you I am all in on my miners.

I was thinking about this earlier, does anyone know how hot GPUs run mining bitcoin? If that runs cooler I would tend to think the extra power draw and heat is because scrypt pretty much rewrites the entire ram available as fast as possible over and over again, whereas Bitcoin/Darkcoin would only use a small amount of ram.

Curiosity got the better of me... below are some test results for 2 x HD7950.  Power is measured at the wall.  Idle power is 210W.

darkcoin
hashrate: 3.80Mh/s
temps: 52,57
power: 415W

bitcoin
hashrate: 1.21 Gh/s
temps: 69,76
power: 680W

litecoin
hashrate: 1.34Mh/s
temps: 73,81
power: 740W

This may not be a valid comparison because I don't know how to optimize settings for bitcoin.  All I did was fiddle with the intensity setting.  Does 605Mh/s for each HD7950 sound reasonable?

Thanks for the info. I am also a little over half the power consumption mining Dark then any other coin. My room is also now bearable to sit in Smiley

Well I am in for some DOGE. Now I am thinking should I do some WDC but there is very little of that going on.

Happy 5GH/s network hash rate day

Cheers to you!

Wil Chuck in 10 ltb for bribe  Grin

If we can get a plan together, talk to the right people etc... I'm in for a few myself on this. I'd consider it money well spent. Especially for Crypsty or Mintpal (where I understand that Wolong and his crew now trade).

I think I would be willing to help out also

I must say I started mining this coin yesterday and everything runs 50% plus cooler. I need to get my killawatt out and see the draw compared to a normal scrypt coin. So far I love it!

Thanks Devs

I also put few of my card to mine this coin and it's true that cards run a lot cooler.
Please post results from that killawatt reader.


Ok here are the results. This miner is a 4x270

Normal Coin: 887 - 892
Darkcoin: 550-552


If someone has better setting for the r9 270 let me know

thanks

That's a huge difference on my power bill Smiley


That's a big difference. What intensity are you using and how much coin per day per card does it generate?

I am currently pulling in about 4.5-5 coins per card a day.

I think I'll get less than 4.5DRK per 270x, but they are still running hot, almost 80C. That's with 1.2Mh/s on each card.

Can you write your settings gpu/mem for 270x , also intensity and  lookup-gap in bat file?


Here are my settings in the bat file

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe  -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u worker.b4 -p x --no-submit-stale -I 19 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 16000 --lookup-gap 0 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1450 --gpu-powertune 2 --gpu-fan 80

My temps are at 53-57 and each card gets 1.214Mh/s

They are the r9 290X. I also have the r9 290 gigabytes in my others miners and they are also running much cooler.

Overall this is good news for me anyway, as of right now I am saving close to $3 a day in power.

Very nice. Finally someone who knows what he is doing. Too many 16 year old kids trying to create logos in here.


Love the look. Keep it up!

New Facebook group has been started...they just accepted me!  Cheesy

https://www.facebook.com/groups/litebar/

I would do this but I despise FB, and only log on about once every couple weeks. Kinda a moot point. Maybe next time I happen to be on it.

What's Facebook?  Cry
