i need darkcoin GPU SOLO Mining Guide. i am already mining on pool, i got receved some coins in my windows wallet, but i am also receving some minor values in drk cons in my wallet. Now i want to try solo mining, i can not figuire out how to do this. Anyone can help with step by step guide ? How to use those below ? addnode=54.80.16.112
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37 I can't help you with a guide for doing it, but I will suggest that it's not going to be fruitful. At all. Unless you have a warehouse full of video cards all to yourself and hashpower exceeding 5% of total network... The closest thing to solo mining you can do at this point is to use P2pool. You can join one or you can set one up for yourself. those addnodes are ip addresses that are known to be online most of the time and you can add them to your darkcoin.conf file in your darkcoin folder (not where the wallet.exe resides) by making a darkcoin.conf file (in text doc, make sure you save as 'other'. It sometimes helps downloading the blockchain and gives you more active connections  |

I know I already asked this before but I didn't have a chance to investigate further. I am trying to get my old wallet (xcoin) to sync so I can transfer my balance to new DarkCoin wallet
all you *should* have to do is drop your old wallet.dat file into the new Darkcoin wallet's .darkcoin folder (normally hidden in /home file in Ubuntu) or it's the darkcoin folder in /User/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/darkcoin in windows Vista, 7 and 8 *remove the old (newer) wallet.dat file first, don't merge. Just in case.* If that doesn't work, something might be wrong with your old xcoin wallet.dat (which should be completely interchangeable with a darkcoind wallet.dat) |

DRK > C-cex.com > BTC > DRKSND > BTC > Gyft > Strip Club > Wine.com EDIT: To health and DRK wealth  Lol I like this. Now I want a shot glass with DRK on it haha. Maybe a shot of black Sambuca? haha   Prost! A business did post in this thread to let us know he was accepting dark payments and the business decorates glasses, so you CAN get a glass like that! I just didn't save the link. Can anyone help here? |

Awesome, hope it works for me  |

my blockchain sync stucks on block 46226, what to do?
have the new wallet, also deleted the files in app data but that didn't work
You're probably on windows 7 and don't actually have the latest wallet (last 2 days?) |

This is going to keep being a problem for Darkcoin and represents a massive roadblock for Darkcoin going mainstream until the Dev just goes ahead and fixes it.
Look, Evan said this coin is now set in stone. Nothing is going to change except features of the coin. There will be no airdrop, a very stupid suggestion that would kill darkcoin. I suggest in big letters, there be a link to the "story of darkcoin, please read before investing" If you don't like it, don't invest. Not only is there NO way this can be "fixed" it arguably was a good thing for coin distribution. |

So janos666 can we do this? I am willing to advance 25DRK so you know you are not wasting your time?
I asked for the specifics because I wasn't sure if you want a simple masternode guide (how to install and set up a wallet daemon as a masternode on an already working system) or an all-around guide starting from scratch to a mid/high level security server. I already set up my masternode, so it wouldn't be hard to play it over and document the steps with screenshots. But I would never call myself an IT, let alone an IT security expert. I trust in my own security measures as much that I risk my own coins, but no way that I would risk other's, so I am not your guy. And I don't think my own habits are optimal for most of the people who need a guide. I would still do this for 50 DRK though, if I felt I have the required skill set. (It also benefits the whole community, the DRK reward is just a little extra.) But I do not. But I think he wants instructions that include how to DDOS proof and set up firewalls and any other safety that is prudent That's why I said I am not "the guy". My own node is secure in a way that you can't steal my coins without physically breaking into my house and find the wallet password (hint: it's not in the fridge). And I run a custom OpenWRT firmware on my router which acts as a hardware firewall and a weak DDoS countermeasure. And I followed the Gentoo security handbook during the OS setup. But that's it. I never said you can't hack my server. Well, sounds to me like you know what you're doing, I don't know half of what you said LOL. Maybe you are the guy! |

Yes, but DRK with a 50% instamine is particularly at risk of being labeled a ponzi.
Anyway, I'll stop posting this same shit here, it's not particularly constructive and the thread is bloated enough already.
It can be constructive... If some people are accusing you of having a scamcoin it can heighten your resolve (as a coin dev) to "prove them wrong" by going into high gear and doing your job as a coder in the best way possible. So that's how Evan got a whole new implementation of DarkSend up so fast, LOL. I thought he was taking the weekend off, 'cause he kind of disappeared, but now I know he's workaholic. You do realize he implemented all that stuff he and anonymint came up with a couple of days ago, right? DarkSend has all that foundation in it now. I'm frankly blown away. He must think in code! |

People in general and miners are a different issue. The cryptocommunity is so self-absorbed that it lacks the understanding that cryptos are far broader than their mining. You see people saying "oh, it's over, ASICs came" and what they really mean is that's its over from their own mining perspective even if a coin like Bitcoin goes up a few hundred times in price. It's no wonder why miners are so low in the "food chain" of cryptoland (miners < traders < investors). It's also no wonder why miners lose so many of their BTCs by engaging in scams, pump and dumps etc.
There are coins out there with IPOs / ICOs, serious premines, full premines and PoS. Compared to all these anomalies, an accelerated mining curve is pretty fair - you just have to be there to mine (I wasn't). If i was there, I'd get coins. The premine gives me 0 chance to get coins so it's a wholly different game.
If you aren't there, you can then say "ok I missed the train", you can say "I can buy from those who were in the train for cheap", or you can invest / mine later because you still think there is potential for growth beyond the first days boom. It's like Bitcoin... People were selling for a couple of dollars and thinking they got the best deal of their lives.
As for the fairDRK, in general people aren't kind to shitclones. You either bring something to the table or you are dealt like a shitcoin that you are. And, given that DarkSend is a new feature, I wouldn't like to be hanging from the main devs balls to provide me with a fix if a problem occurs because I've no idea how to fix it on my own. Even quark with the 97-98% early distrib was not "bettered" by one of its multiple clones despite its image being trashed. I think there's a coin called FairQRK or something and others with other names - none of them is doing good really.
When people try to benefit from the work of other people (clone a coin and expect to make money) it imprints in their subconscious that they are useless. The ultimate form of programming is not in computer code but in mind code. The computer code is simply an analogy that will make people realize the mind code (later on).
Coding the mind is a process which is usually performed indirectly, through every action or thought that we make. For example, if I steal something, my subconscious is observing my action and then thinks to itself "since I'm stealing, I'm obviously useless to gain what I want on merit, otherwise why would I steal? By the mere fact that I'm stealing, I accept that I'm useless".
Cheating, stealing, leeching etc etc, all those behaviors self-program one's mind into limitation through subconscious self-suggestions / self-admissions of inadequacy, which are very strong as they are reinforced by one's conscious thoughts and actions. Humanity doesn't even need karma or hell to penalize the "wrongdoers".
Every negative act that one does versus others is an automatic self-programming into limitation. For example if I want to gain something against another by tricking them, then I'm registering a subconscious self-admission that I am useless to excel with my own capabilities without dirty tricks. This self-admission becomes a strong subconscious self-suggestion that then limits my mind's creative capacities. Why would I want to limit myself in this way? People only do it because they are unaware of the hidden cost of their actions and thoughts.
Society will tell us "do whatever you have to, and its ok if you are not get caught" yet the subconscious always monitors everything and makes its conclusions which in turn are programming our capabilities and limitations.
Every time we are "caught" it registers self-limiting admissions that restrict our innate (enormous) capabilities and potential. It says "if I'm stealing / cheating / advancing against others by harming them or ripping them off etc etc, it's obviously because I can't do it on my own capabilities". And this creates a feedback loop where the same behavior is replayed and the same mindset is calcified into further self-limitation, where eventually the mind can only act in a parasitic way, instead of a creative way where it can stand on its own and excel.
When I see a shit-clone, I know what I'm seeing: Some poor guy who wants to get a quick buck by cloning something else and thinking that this is the "way" to go (for his pocket). He doesn't know that at that instant he is also registering his own inadequacy. And that inadequacy will show up later for everyone who'll "trust him" as a coin dev to do things right, when in fact he never had to make anything, or gain experiences through trial and error. This is a huge "no-no" for the backer of a coin, unless the time-span of involvement for the backer is a short one (mine & dump, pump & dump, etc). Long-term however is problematic.
Wow, I never thought of it that way! I mean, I can see one point where you would be wrong, and that is if it were a psychopath. They actually lack a conscience, and are approximately 1% of the population. Only a very few commit big crimes like murder, but that's because they still are interested in self preservation. Most just create havoc on their "friends" (whom they only care about in as much as what they can provide) and family. I've gotten to know 3 of them in my lifetime, and hope to figure it out quickly so as not to get caught up in any again in the future, LOL Otherwise, this is a very interesting thought. |

Well i wish i knew about this coin too! I was too busy mining other coins, but it seems people were complaining about it because the developers dropped the number of coins down to 22 million, making the difficulty higher, i also think there was a bug in the code that was giving a high block reward for the first few blocks before they patched it.
The reduction in coins is caused by a 7% reduction in rewards starting January 2015, it hasn't been "felt" yet. The difficulty climbed because more people started mining it. Stop telling lies dude. The difficulty didn't change much in the first 24 hrs. Later the retarget time was changed from 1 day to 1 hr. Is it me or difficulty is stuck at 1.00 for the last 2 hours? The network is around 100Mh/s, and we are solving blocks faster than every 5 minutes, shouldn't diff be higher?
Yeah, it's been around 12 hours now and difficulty changed only few times. In the code there is: static const int64 nTargetTimespan = 24 * 60 * 60; // Xcoin: 1 day static const int64 nTargetSpacing = 2.5 * 60; // Xcoin: 2.5 minutes static const int64 nInterval = nTargetTimespan / nTargetSpacing; so interval between difficulty changes is 24 * 60 / 2.5 = 576 blocks. For me it looks like the target difficulty adjustment period is 1 day, not 1 hour. You're correct. How am I lying. The person said "developers dropped the number of coins down to 22 million, making the difficulty higher" but that was a recent change, voted on to reduce number of coins and give a set possible number of coins to be minted. That did nothing to the difficulty. And you're quoting something from day two. Boy, that's a strong word, lying, why would you accuse someone of something so strong off the bat. Please read the comment over again and make sure you understand what you're reading before accusing someone of lying. |

Wow. When DRK hits $250, you'll be rich. If you need someone push the wheelbarrow of money around behind you, I'm free that week.
LOL, that would be lovely, but I've yet to have that kind of luck. However, maybe it's been building up for just this moment in time, LOL. Just a couple of questions: 1. Are you cute? 2. Are you at least 60 years old? 3. Are you at least 5'10" 4. Do you have your own place, my hubby is always home, LOL (joking) |

Hehe, i didnt mined fro mday one but could get some coin, also bought for roughly 2 btc. However, i find it sad if something that is really interesting, innovative and wit ha nice community has such flaws. Well we will see how this plays out, but this fade taste stays. I right now try to decide how much time and effort i should put into darkcoin related projects.
Yah, the controversies suck and are really getting annoying, LOL. I don't think in reality it was bad for the coin's economy at all, but all the negativity is certainly not good, unless the hoopla brings more curious eyes to our community and more people join us because of it |

Hirocoin has nice little feature built in its wallet, which tells you that new update is available. Would be great for Darkcoin to have it in near future.
I'm adding it to the list, good one! |

Life isn't freakin fair.
I never grew taller than my sister.
My husband never became a millionaire.
My dad died when I was a girl.
I couldn't get the freakin miner to work on day one.
I had to buy dark to make my goal.
Too freakin bad, I got over it!

It's called a fuck up. Evan fucked up. He didn't realize the damage until a block explorer was created, and by then, he had to decide, restart, when everyone had been mining days already, or just go forward. He would have had a mutiny if he tried to restart, and the coin would have either 1. taken on a life of it's own without Evan, and died or 2. Nobody would come back to mine the second time. So it was full speed ahead. I still maintain that most of those coins were redistributed. Huge numbers of coins were already exchanging hands before an exchange opened up. They've been selling ever since at a low price. It's a better distribution than if only miners had the coins, and wouldn't sell 'em. This is such a dead end point, it's history. No point in crying over it. I've been here since the beginning, but I was such a newb, I couldn't get the mining to work (never mined before) until lotterymining opened up, so I ended up mining about 1400 coins, and I bought the rest. I don't have much money, so buying 600 coins was very hard to do for me as I've been unemployed for quite some time, I just call myself retired. I have bad arthritis so I can't even do a retail job. Still, seriously, almost anyone can buy into darkcoin, it'd cost less than mining by a LOT since less than a month out from it's birth. And the prices have now dropped even more because of our bickering. Any person who thinks Darkcoin has a great future today has no excuse if they look back a year from now and see it's success, and have to say "gee why didn't I buy any dark back then!" The opportunity has been here for 3 months now and continues, with prices super low today. I bought at .0016 and .00146 or so, today it's .00135 I still think I got a deal. |

http://pastebin.com/Lgt8wVX5try this, no idea why but the connect function together with addnode and this list solved any connection probs for me. additionally you can try to change the port with "port=9999" in the conf file, got a vpn that blocks port 9999 by default. Thank you, I'll give that a try once the other thingy finishes, LOL 62.141.39.175 is my node , online 24/7. Thank you, I'll add it Edit, it's the first one on the list, LOL |

I'm going to make a note of those suggestions and do them in the morning  |

Ugh, I'm having the age old syncing problem. my windows 7 wallet is on beta 6 and doing fine. My Ubuntu wallet is on beta 6 and not syncing. I took the same info from my windows wallet and put it in my Ubuntu wallet, so it was then synced up until that point. at this time, it's like an hour behind, doesn't show any errors but does say I have 0 active connections and when I do a "getmininginfo" I'm behind in the block numbers.
I can't figure out why it won't sync when both wallets have the same internet connection, same nodes in their config files and I even brought over the peers.dat file from the functioning wallet.
Is there something wrong with the Ubuntu beta 6 wallet? Has anyone tried it yet? Please let me know, thanks !!
I'm running the ubuntu wallet fine. Trying running it as: ./darkcoind --reindex I have had it freeze up for no discernable reason before and that always fixes it. That data should be the same between the windows and linux version, but computers are weird sometimes and do crazy things. Are you running the Beta 6 with darksend? I assume this takes a while? It's just sitting there |
