Why don't you fork and make it merge mineable with DRK? Instead of the other way around, you were proposing on your own forum. Who in the world wants to mine one shitcoin and get more of some other even more worthless shitcoin on top for free. If HIRO would be a by-product of DRK mining it would give it a nice lift for sure.

Think twice. It not in their interest to attack bitcoin. Millions worth of hashpower they own, they will do everything to protect against 51% attack. Why are you affraid? 45% and rising. If it forks, price will drop like a turd, no doubt about that. It would be in anybodies interest who is short the market. And I'm not afraid, I'm actually looking forward to it.

True that. Also whoever posted that comment in the article was spot on. Sure, was it you writing that piece for the underprivileged? Couldn't get much cheaper. But I'm stopping now, its pretty pointless beating on a dead horse.

noble if you're having an asic problem.. the easiest way to combat this is to change the algorithm.. perhaps to the grostl algorithm. i think now all of us realize that asics dont pump the price.. investors do. and the less coins they have to face on the market each day the easier it is to pump the price. but with growing asic power i can tell u.. asics are not interested in anything else atm but dumping to regain their investment in said asic.
i have supported noble from the very beginning in the sidelines. and still support it as i can. anything i recommend is for what i believe, the best for the coin.
noble should consider adding pos, oir some form of anonimity code no matter how meagre... or both. these are features that are in demand and proven with small pos interests like 1-3% generate a larger interest in holding the coins from both a miner and investor/trader perspective.
i see no problem with changing algorithms as we move along to asic resistant ones.. each time the asics follow us.. we can implement the latest algorithm to which they cant yet use.. but they will always eventually catchup and be able to use that algorithm. crypto just like all other technology must travel with the wind. and not resist it's change or advancement.
Yeah, rah rah rah, bla bla bla, Noble could, Noble should, Noble would. What happens? Nothing..... ASICS? Who in the world needs ASICS to challenge this piece of shit? Every other hobby miner could fork you any day twice now.

Stop fantasizing and complaining about ooh the bad mojo, do something for real. Cheap talk won't fix it. This coin is dead for now. You failed at each and every challenge. How about some market making activity, theres nothing bad about it. And the market doesn't care wether you like it and if it fits your narrow moral understanding of how things should be. You were trying to sell camel shit on a camel market. You've been fighting windmills, and you lost. You've ended up being a waste of energy for me and a lot of other people. Just another bunch of crazy, delusional losers who collected time and money from their deplorable followers.

Thats a very nice facetted discussion on reddit. I personally believe they already control more than 51%. The implications of a double spend are minor, just to distract. Such a stunt, such a FUD situation would create a win win short selling opportunity for which big player? The leverage would be stellar, they could multiply their holdings in a couple of hours.

Um, it's currently between 39-42% on ghash...you may want to update your post.
Is it better now?

anyone here experience same problem ?
No, but I think there may be something much more sinister behind all the "being hacked" stories. I think they have been short selling against their customers and got squeezed. Just a gut feeling, though. Yes, I agree that being hacked IS something that an exchange cannot afford. They MUST take every single measure to be protected. Still, it's possible to happen for it's a business risk. Now the difference is: a good, serious exchange will never have this business risk affect it's clients lest loosing reputation. In the maket, no reputation means no deals. Well this is some FUD, isn't it? Go spread it, like they spread their FUD about DRK.

I don't have any temp or fan readings after running the pmupdate and pimpupdate scripts for PIMP. Has anyone run into this issue? It worked at first but after a restart I've lost temps and fan readings.
I can confirm it's using the new SGMINER from lasybear. I've tried re-running the script to reinstall it but nothing.
Thats probably due to a re-initialisation of your X11 system (the display server, not the algo). Replace the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf with one of the backups in that directory (like xorg.conf.fglrx-0) and reboot.

And shouldn't that be the general option, for everybody? There is nothing bad about it. It's actually the market which came first in history.

Until proof of even FPGAs are posted, ASIC = Pulled out of Obama's ass vaporware and not A real NSA product.
Proof of FPGA is not required, we know that FPGA can do it if someone programs them to. However their acceleration factor is not that big and it's highly unlikely to find thousands of them. ASIC = I don't know. But even at a 500x acceleration factor compared to a GPU (say a 3 MHs GPU / 1.5 GHs ASIC) it'd take HUNDREDS of them to pull stuff like 800-900 gigahash. FPGAs even more so because their acceleration is much closer to GPUs. I saw the link the guy gave as "x11 fpga program" which was bullshit, but hashpower is hashpower and it was tremendous. The main propagandist behind that campaign is cryptohunter who has been pushing this in order to discourage Darkcoin miners since it claims ASIC resistance. If ASICs existed you mean to say they were tested on the crapcoin first and never on DRK ?
If I were the NSA I'd make sure to have hardware ASICs for every single algorithm out there. If I want to break a wallet, or control a crypto network, I won't do it with GPUs. The budget for acquiring such equipment is pretty low for their standards. They could control 51% of bitcoin right now if they spent something like 100-200mn in ASIC for SHA256 and destroy bitcoin. Even 1 bn budget for ASIC hardware is peanuts compared to protecting the hegemony of the dollar. I believe they have the theoretical possibility of overriding every single POW network out there with 51% but a POS coin would remain resilient from a POW attack as it works through POS staking. So they would have a mess at their hand with an anonymous coin that remains resilient. So their hardware would be useless for 51% override. But it wouldn't be useless in the coin generation phase (POW). That's where I suspect they put their hardware on and started mining with that insane hashrate to get a 51% stake and control the future of the coin. If they didn't manage that, they'll manage it through buying a few more to get there. The absence of that hashrate from every other x11 coin is a huge indicator. The fact that, suddenly, 900gh of x11 hashpower appeared out of nowhere just to mine XC, doesn't "just" happen. Alex, it is very likely a bug with the network hashrate reports or a bug somwehere in general. I just don't buy x11 ASICs out of the blue, it takes a sustantially long development lifecycle to come up with these, and that to by NSA to break into a crap coin. The absence from every other x11 coin pretty much is a convincing proof of the lack of x11 ASICs. I think you might be on the right track. They have this kind of gear at hand, would run ccminer then, may be a bit modified

Very impressive how it kept up after this clusterfuck. Thanks a lot to the plunge protection team. Demand is strong. More trading against fiat will be the real booster.

Hee hee hee, you're a funny, silly man. I doubt you believe that and are probably buying up a ton of DRK at these low prices You're funny. I mean you can't really believe MNO has anything to offer, that's beyond silly! No, its not out yet. It would take less than 5 minutes to make it. I'm rather pissed, what is this shit?
And as it seems the shit FORKED AGAIN.
I know, but it's maintained by a volunteer. It's a holiday today, one where most people get together with family for a bbq, etc... and it's likely everyone is off doing stuff today. Bad timing really I'm so sorry! If I had a mac and could do this, I'd do it to keep everything up to date, but I can't Why isn't the Mac project forked on github?

Is it an up to date version? Since it's 1 week old and with all that happened I have doubts ^^ this is not a new version! i dont think that it is ok to use this after the fork So is there an updated (9.4.8 or 10.8. version for OSX ? No, its not out yet. It would take less than 5 minutes to make it. I'm rather pissed, what is this shit? And as it seems the shit FORKED AGAIN.

Yeah thanks, but do you think this is the right workflow? You're pissing off of a lot of people here, I' sure I'm not the only one. As much as I'm a DRK fanboy, this fork was quite a fuckup. About time to introduce some notification method which could even prevent a wallet from launching. Yeah I agree it needs an update notification and would be great if the mac wallet could be updated faster. However I understand this will probably be sorted out down the line. Why don't you put a proper fork on git for the Mac project, so people could build it on their own?
