Please turn your monitor upside down cause it seems you are utterly wrong.

https://www.coaex.com/shop/gold-bars/1-gram-gold-bars-igr-999-9-fine/

Considering you assume "Gold is Gold", we are selling around 25% cheaper than Bitgild (Please do include shipping costs, as well). No EU/US gold bullion dealer can beat our prices.



Very well then, trial order placed. Smiley

Collecting some opinions from the altcoin communities..

What do you think about a DRK exchange where you can buy/sell "digital gold/silver" with DRK (other cryptocoins will be considered, as well), similar as in Bullion Bitcoin & Provident Metals' Elemental Vault but with the most competitive pricing and lowest fees?

Information:

http://www.blog.providentmetals.com/gold-and-silver-bullion-investing/elemetal-vault-secure-trading-and-vault-storage.htm

Please leave your feedback by contacting us publicly or privately. Thanks in advance.

"digital gold/silver" - ahahahahaha

I can already buy physical gold/silver etc. with DRK.  Tongue

Yes, Coaex is the second merchant accepting DRK for physical Gold/Silver after Amagi Metals.
In 2014, DRK became the most preferred coin in our store, fyi.

Your prices are not the best, bitgild is far cheaper.

Wow, took awhile to figure out how to mine but I'm finally mining @ 900 Kh/s. Any estimates on how long it'll take for me to find a block?

Expected blocks per day (over time) = (your hashrate divided by the total) * 1440

In your case, (0.9/3000)*1440 = 0.432 blocks a day averaged over time. Expect to find one every 2-3 days in other words.

CAN YOU PLEASE KEEP YOUR PET (doitASAP) ON A LEASH?


THIS TROLL IS FILLING UP HIS POST COUNT BASHING EVERY OTHER COIN OUT THERE - PLEASE KEEP IT WELL FED AND ON A LEASH, YOU DON'T WANT IT OUT THERE CAUSING TROUBLE AND BRINGING BAD KARMA BAD TO SPREADCOIN

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.



A brief scan through his/her posts doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary for this place...  certainly nothing worthy of you coming in here all CAPS blazing...  Cheesy

If (s)he or anyone else was spamming 'SPR to the moon' or some shit in other threads I'd agree with you and ask them to stop, we can do without such muppets though I suspect anyone doing that would almost certainly not be a genuine SRP supporter.

Since you're here though, welcome, have a read, and please consider investing in a little bit of Spread, I think it has a great future.  Smiley

I still do not see all these coins "locked" (temporarily, not locked at all, I know I know...) as a good thing, on the contrary. What's the point of a currency if it does not circulate was and still is my dilemma.

What do you think the value of Darkcoin would be without Masternodes?

Integer units in circulation is a meaningless metric, we have a decimal point and eight decimal places.

Circulation among the general population is the goal, and that is entirely independent of and unaffected by coins being 'locked' in Masternodes.

I promised to zip it about my dilemmas "until..." Smiley -- and yes, I do get the real purpose of MN (I own one as a small token of support) and I was never told as many times as here how stupid I was  Grin (given my dilemmas as meaningless metric) but I keep my right to be concerned.

And zipped about it. I just provided the community with a bit of statistics asked Smiley

Often when I address a post, the target audience for my wisdom is not limited to the person I am quoting, it is for the benefit and edification of all. Grin

So, no offence intended. Smiley

Was trying to compile the linux nvidia miner, for a 750ti (compute 3 or 3.5)
I'm getting:

Is there a way to not compile for 5.0 ?

Thanks! That fixed it, this should be stickied.
I'm getting 794273 khash/s using the GPU miner, I assume this is invalid due to how high it is?


I just checked here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus  - and your 750Ti should be compute 5.0... Huh

Only, it wouldn't be enough because your customers wouldn't be doing the same - they'd just be sending you money through the usual route, unmixed. So if I was one of your competitors and wanted to investigate your finances I'd have quite a few options.

I wonder how many people are already profiling targets by crypto injection mapping? BTC dust as financial radar...  Grin

Ok, here is a question for techies :
When you look at Block pages of different pools (http://darkcoin.miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks, https://www2.coinmine.pl/drk/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks), you can see that the block reward ("amount") is between 3 and 4, depending of difficulty.
But if you do yourself the math with the formula 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2) given by DRK staff, you find that the block reward is near 5 or over, with the same difficulty.

My question is simple : why ?

The block reward is split, miners get 65% and Masternodes 35% currently. The formula gives you the total, the pools are probably giving you the miner cut.
933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SPR] SpreadCoin | True Decentralization (No Pools) on: January 01, 2015, 12:31:57 PM
I've been pondering Spreadcoin and what it would take for it to become a top 5 coin.  Probably the most important factor is massive adoption.  Coming back to that in a second, we see a lot of people not wanting to point their CPU to Spreadcoin because the hash would be so low that it would take XX days to find a block.  I understand their lack of desire.  People like instant and constant gratification, not gratification every 37 days.  And yet, due to the nature of SPR, we need every little bit of hash possible to help avoid large farms taking over.  How can we solve this and see massive adoption?

Would it be possible for the following:

When masternodes are implemented, found blocks have the following distribution:

1.  xx% to miners who find the block
2.  xx% to masternode owners
3.  xx% to masternodes which are then automatically distributed evenly to all miners, irrespective of hash rate.  So that miner with 25kh on their old laptop sees some SPR trickle in on a regular basis so it's worth it to them to help secure the network.  And thus, more people take part in mining SPR and adoption/distribution becomes vastly wider.

All 3 of my old laptops gathering dust would be brought out of the closet if something like this were implemented.

Coins are "Spread" to a much wider audience and the hash rate would explode.

For #3 to be implemented, either the network (the miners) or the masternodes would need to keep a record of who's mining during each block. If they are doing that, they might as well keep a record of how much hash they have too, and pay miners proportionally. So you could continue to have the security benefits of solo mining, but miners would also enjoy the benefits of steady income a la pools. But without the pools. Smiley

This would need some serious reworking of the whole system though.



Your proposal would probably be simpler to implement - the code already exists to pay the masternodes x%, Mr Spread would just need to add some code to take a portion of the MN split and have the MNs push it out to all miners connected at the time. eg. Winning MN that block gets say 60% of the block reward, then sends half of it to all connected miners.

So everyone gets something, but bigger miners are still in with a chance of getting the 40% solo block reward. (Percentages are examples only.)

But I am speculating well above my technical pay grade again... Grin

another even simpler solution is to use pseudonymous email system to send the recipient the payment, and they can broadcast it themselves. in my view bitcoin needs a store & forward distributed/redundant/reliable privacy preserving message bus.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=431756.new

couldn't have said it any better myself.

I was just thinking along these lines when I read Adam Back's comments.  Grin

A side chain maintained by Masternodes that costs clients a nominal sum to write to, with the information pushed to the recipient client(s) when they connect... would seem to fit the bill. Basically a pay-as-you-go distributed database "store & forward distributed/redundant/reliable privacy preserving message bus"

Cool, airball wins.  Congratulations.

Here's how we'll work it.

1.  If you want your 6.66 SPR, PM me.
2.  I will edit in the usernames I pay into this post.

Rules:

A.  You MUST have already posted in this thread.
B.  You MUST have 25 or more posts on Bitcointalk.org
C.  If you have a ton of SPR already and ask for 6.66 more, you agree that karma will result in you getting hit by a bus.

List of people I have paid:

Keep your puny number of the beast.

Outed as bus-fearing SPR whale.  Cheesy

...and according to Adam Beck, one of the people who came up with the notion, they suck:

"The problem is identified in the article: to receive you have to scan the entire block chain and trial decrypt each one. The solution hint is actually worse than not using stealth addresses (shard or prefix index etc) - because that allows a passive adversary to use that hint to eliminate from the already weak network flow analysis..."

I have just emailed "coinwarz.com" asking them to add SPR.

If the rest of us could do the same, they may take us on.

Code:
Good morning/afternoon.

Spreadcoin has been around since July 2014.
The coin is a solo mining coin ONLY, no pools!

I would love to see the only non pooled mined coin on your website, I'm sure it will bring allot of users to your site, and the same for the spreadcoin community.

Spreadcoin is growing, has a 2.5GH hashrate (SOLO), and the dev is looking to add darkcoins darksend and masternodes this month.

Very promising coin, please check it out

http://spreadcoin.net/

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715435.0

Thank you very much, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask me.

SPR sitting at the top of their mining profitability charts would certainly be a boost. Smiley
