1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [GPUC] GPU Coin | Block 2600 ETA Sunday 14:00 EST on: March 09, 2014, 07:30:00 AM
If some one have R9 270 OC and want to share settings with me I would be very grateful. I get 153 Kh/s with -I 12, i have to tell that i bought this card 3 days ago and my old PSU push out onlu 350W, these cards need at least 500W maybe this is the problem? the new PSU(850w) arrive these days.Thanks

I run 12 R9 270, they give me stable 220kh/s per card, 2 systems all together pull 2400w, it's ~170W per card

The price goes down because owners of such wallets dump coins at whatever price they can, the market got big enough to get enough BTC.

It's really pretty simple, we're capped at 25DRK per 2.5 minutes, that's 210240*25 per year, so broken down yearly:

Year 1: 5,256,000
Year 2: 2,628,000
Year 3: 1,314,000
etc

So in ten years we'll have maybe 10 million coins in existence. It's a very scarce resource and is designed to gain/keep it's value.  

1 834 654 coins were mined in the first 24hrs (17.4% of all the coins that will be mined)
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin?hi=4200&count=100

And only linux wallet on start, which limited number of miners.

Plus strange block reward bug https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/a5737981616b4f6392d4eb63f89760c3afc64e08

Quote from: buryat

Oh god... just stop, you've lost all credibility

if(nHeight >= 17000 && dDiff > 75) { // GPU/ASIC difficulty calc
            // 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2)
            nSubsidy = (2222222.0 / (pow((dDiff+2600.0)/9.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 25) nSubsidy = 25;
            if (nSubsidy < 5) nSubsidy = 5;
        } else { // CPU mining calc
            nSubsidy = (11111.0 / (pow((dDiff+51.0)/6.0,2.0)));
            if (nSubsidy > 500) nSubsidy = 500;
            if (nSubsidy < 25) nSubsidy = 25;
        }


See that little if subsidy < 5 nsubsidy =5 ? THAT MEANS THE MINIMUM IS 5 , Max is 25.

Now kindly leave. 5 x 24 blocks per hour x 24 hours x 365 days = 1 051 200 , which means even at lowest block reward we'll reach 84 million before bitcoin reaches 21 million.

You don't understand the code, I pointed at the exact line:
Quote
   // Subsidy is cut in half every 210240 blocks, which will occur approximately every year
    nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 210240); // DarkCoin: 210k blocks in 1 year

You do realize that there are about 80 million coins still to be mined, right?  It will take awhile, but eventually things will even out.

It'll never reach 80 millions

Shouldn't it be 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, 1.5625 etc?  (/2, then /2, then /2... halving as I understand it means /2)



Yes, I made a mistake.
The corrected table:
YearBlocks a yearMax rewardCoins a yearTotal coins
02102402552560005256000
121024012.526280007884000

92102420.04882812510265.7226610501734.57

Since halving is every year, total amount of coins is limited by 2x of what produced in first year, so it's definitely not 84 millions.

I think at this point people need to stop listening to you, you clearly have no clue. Minimum block reward is not a fraction. It's 5 or 10 coins, don't remember which.

Early adopters were mining with cpu's - new formula was implemented after gpu miner was published as the hashrates were multiplied.
The change you're talking about was the second, the first one here: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/ab58f240aca5b43e22b990c4a872fce4174bcf80

Right now it's already 4th version.

The latest changes (https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/970f9d202aeb90c5d9168736a07c05ed0e2fc448) was made as to prevent a possible attack https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5348513#msg5348513. But it could be prevented by starting more p2pools, and I see the change as an attempt to limit reward to 25, so if the coin lose popularity nobody could get blocks with up to 153 coins.

Please launch DARKERCOIN with 5% premine of 100 billion DarkerCOINS. I want to invest in your IPO!!

You already invested into a coin with dev having 25% of issued coins.

where are you getting this info from

stop spreading fud


If you check the first blocks and how the coins moved after, you'll find wallets where coins were consolidated about the same time, here are some of them:
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/cbyT4TTmzQTstMMQsn4qnuzYv7pToysMxD
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/cmBVfrgkBuagRy8fE9MJHfSMhf3PZgQxMP
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/cfm1sgj5yrPCAKpjFgi7HmzhuDF4SZurSc

The block reward already dropped from 500 to <25 (>20x drop or 4 complete halving), the initial reward formula favored only early adopters that's why (as told in the following comment) it was tweaked a bit the first time https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg4675670#msg4675670.

I consider all the changes to reward formula as a way to keep control over huge portion of coins in one or very few hands. Also controlling the largest pool helps promoting any changes.

Community won't trust a coin that is close-sourced.
Haha right because they will only trust IPOs. My neighbor at work asked me why I was laughing so hard when I read this.

I'm glad that I made you laugh. People also tend to accept manipulations with the reward formula.

Someone please help me run this gpu miner in windows.
Am using r9 280x cards.
I can donate 100 drk's.

https://mega.co.nz/#!skhQFCJZ!Q630CmM-fAyRjh7kQme6ZqE9dPRzfhqfV5zMW1iSJf8
Put your worker user/pass into sgminer.conf and run sgminer.bat

Donate to phm as he is the creator of gpu miner.

can someone give the code for r9280x windows sgminer???

Here's what I'm using for r9 290:

Do i have to save this one as a batch file and run?
Thanks

Save it as sgminer.conf and run sgminer.exe --conf <path_to_the_config>, later you can create a .bat file and put it into shell:startup

There's an app CGWatcher that monitor the miner and restart the process when it's necessary — http://manotechnology.blogspot.com/p/cgwatcher.html
