Thank you!
waiting now for network syncing.
Testnet address:
mtdPqzvMdxMxZAy9FYN26HjjBvUiYbYLAx
Looking forward to try this.
There's only 11 blocks mined on testnet, shouldn't take long. Sure you turned on testnet and added the node? |

Testing commences at 7PM EST tonight, come join us!The public testing and improvement phase of the DarkSend technology officially begins right now  .Add these lines to your configuration: addnode=54.80.16.112
testnet=1
debug=1 This is alpha software, expect bugs and other problems. Just report the bugs you find and we’ll take care of them. You can begin by reading the instructions below, there’s a bit of a learning curve because this works very differently from the way normal transactions work. DarkSend uses a pool of transactions, currently POOL_MAX_TRANSACTIONS is set to 3. This means it will wait for 3 transactions before “darksending” them. Being that you can only send 1 transaction through the pool at a time, you will need to wait for someone else on the network to send another darksend transaction. If you don't want to wait, you can send multiple darksend transactions with multiple clients. There are 3 new commands that are added to the API. To test these features from the QT client, open the debug console: - darksend Xaddress amount : Add transaction to the darksend pool. This returns the current sessionID
- getpoolinfo pool_no: Show pools current status
- getdarksendtxid sessionID: After a DarkSend round completes this will return the TxID
2= accepting inputs, 3 = accepting outputs, 4=signing, 5=transmission
{
"state" : 2,
"session_id": 1005,
"pooled_inputs" : 0,
"pooled_outputs" : 0,
"pooled_signatures" : 0,
"my_transactions" : 0
}
Known issues: - Sent inputs go into unconfirmed: The input value - the value you sent will appear as “unconfirmed” until the next block is mined. Just ignore it

If you really want to see GPU resistant, see XPM and QRK algo, cause they require decision making so a practical GPU miner is not possible.
ASIC is always possible unless the algo is an x86 instruction set.
I'm not really against ASICs in the long run, I'm just hoping it takes at least five years for Darkcoin. They'll have to implement the 11 algorithms, which according to my understanding of electrical engineering (minimal), would be really difficult. |

I'm glad the miner works for you, hopefully I'll get paid for the bounty soon. For everyone playing with command line options here are the settings I use for R9 290: -I 18 -g 4 -w 128. I have not tested it on NVidia yet, will do that today, but do not expect wonders. If there are any serious bugs you can report them on eduffield's github.
Expressions of gratitude for the miner shall go this way: XjzvkWNMu5MNk1gNVykJ6CK1u3pAm47oha
I just sent you a payment for 3404.99, thanks! d98183197bcc047b80a2c0624e0164d868292d4e197362b36570388ddc09e5c8-000 |

DarkCoin will die the same way as Bitcoin died when ASIC miners for btc were released.
I don't understand this comment. The developer designed Darkcoin to follow the same path as Bitcoin. he knew it was only a matter of time before a GPU came out. An ASIC on the other hand will take years, unless this coin becomes amazingly popular, maybe only a couple of years? But anyway, Bitcoin is far from dead, I don't know what you mean? And this coin's uniqueness comes from the obfuscation of the transactions, so nobody can look into your checking account like they can with Bitcoin and most other coins, and this is done right from the wallet. Yeah, when ASICs came out the price of bitcoin went from 50 to 1200 |

Whoever is editing the title, ASIC Resistant is a pretty big selling point IMO.

Phm gave us his GPU miner code, and I merged in his changes into my project at https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer
I got it to compile and it seems to work for me, although I have a terrible GPU so I'm not positive.
Try to compile it and let me know if it works so I can pay the man.
Thanks!

We're happy to announce the DarkSend closed alpha is ready, we're just putting some finishing touches on it and we'll launch sometime this weekend. We're really excited to show this off to everyone!

Being that the GPU's are joining the game we wanted to redefine the difficulty/reward curve to be the same as it was in the prior phase of mining. This involves a fork to apply a new rewards curve to above a difficulty of 75, and scales at a rate similar to the growth rate seen in other GPU coins. The new formula for GPUs is 2222222/(((x+2600)/9)^2) with a block reward max of 25 and a minimum of 5. This will provide a very interesting incentive for GPUs to jump on earlier while the rewards are high, and it will ensure that the CPU miners coins remain valuable for the foreseeable future, while making this coin a more scarce and a limited resource. 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;
}Anyone using a windows wallet should update: http://darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt.exeTo recompile from source, download from here: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin Thanks PS. thanks to Kaene for helping out with the new formula! How do you determine if it is a GPU? Assuming same as last time, pools will update and Mac users just need to wait for Mac wallet? The GPUs are basically six times faster, so when our difficulty starts moving that's how the algorithm knows. I inquired about the mac wallet, I'll post it when it's updated. So basically once the difficulty goes above 75, CPU mining is dead. Yeah, that tends to happen when GPUs come in. |

}Anyone using a windows wallet should update: http[Suspicious link removed] To recompile from source, download from here: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin Thanks PS. thanks to Kaene for helping out with the new formula! Which block will the change take effect on? It takes effect when we hit 75 difficulty, so whenever the GPU miner comes out Does the block reward calc re-adjust to moores if diff drops below 75? Once we move to GPUs we'll never be below a diff of 75 again, but if we do fall below that for some reason it will use the old equation which is fine. |

Just to let everyone know we're up to 3000DRK for the GPU bounty to try and get phm to release his source code. It would be helpful if other people could donate also to even the playing field again :
XcVWt1B4EwxRgHXDnJyxGDwhEDDwfWvKpY
Thanks for your support!
ps, this bounty is extended to anyone who can get a GPU miner up and running with a reasonable amount of efficiency .
Here's my partially working GPU miner: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer
phm has claimed the bounty (I just don't want other people wasting their time when he has something that works). He says he's making a few modifications and he'll release in a couple days. I'm perfectly fine with some other guy taking the money if his miner does a better job than my current 2 MH/s for single R9 290. Let the best code win. Damn! Really? Don't release it yet. Let me buy a mining rig first. Give me 1 1/2 weeks. phm backed out from proving he had the code, so I'm reopening the bounty. First one to open source something that works well wins. |
