Did someone predict he will end up at the bottom of a barrel, screaming...?

Yes, I just came back to correct myself.
I hate these things in our multi-national world that some nations use decimal comma while the other uses decimal dot but also puts there a comma after 3 digits.
Not that hard to make a mistake every now and then when your are tired.

Ever heard of comments in code?

I am trying to mine this coin ever since sph-sgminer came out with X11 OpenCL GPU mining support. And it proved to be really difficult to do it effectively and reasonably. But I think I am on track now, only small tweaks might come from here.

And now I just realized that my 3x290 + 1x290X rig (used to be one more 290X but that one recently burned out ) takes out 1/15 of the whole network speed.
I guess I could easily mine it directly without the help of a pool (may be I actually will, just because that feels better for me for some reason I can't shape into words). And now I miss my 5. card even more.

Scrypt ASIC is on our doorsteps and Litecoin doesn't wish to adapt (follows BTC which I think is very ironic after it's main feature was to get rid of the BTC ASIC, but now it welcomes it's own ASIC...).
Vertcoin tried but also failed in my eyes (their N factor scaling it still too light, it won't take too much time and effort until a scrypt ASIC will be able to mine that as well).

And even if it will prove to be comparably easy to create an ASIC for X11, there is still something about DarkCoin which I think will make it unique between these third generation (post- SHA2 and Scrypt(N)) coins. Not just DarkSend, or DGW, but the whole feeling around it.

I think this could easily be the next most popular coin in the BTC, LTC/DOGE, DRK/?, VTC/? line in less than a year. So, I think this coin will be the first after BTC which I won't immediately exchange for BTC or EUR but keep (most of it) on a paper wallet.

So, if you are on auto-sell, don't worry about my 1/15 claim of the net speed just now.

The closest thing which comes to my mind is this kernel config:
"Bus Options" \ "PCI Support" \ "PCI Express AMPS Control" \ "Default AMPS Policy" ---> "BIOS Default" / "Performance" / "Powersave"

I keep this at "Performance".
But I don't have this number in my aticonfig --odgc output.

However, this gentoo setup is highly unstable in many ways and levels. I am just trying to make it work because I had to get rid of Xubuntu asap.
For example, I have to run sgminer with --no-adl or I get segmentation fault. It finds 24 ADL devices for 4 physical cards. And my desktop is all black.

aticonfig --adapter=all --odsc=1000,1450

You might need to be root. The clocks are [GPU,VRAM]. You can set unique clocks for every cards (starting from adapter=0).

aticonfig --adapter=all --odcc

This applies the earlier "scratchpad" settings (makes them permanent through reboots).

Use can issue this command to read your actual clocks (and limits + current GPU load percentage which can also be very useful!):

aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc

I have the same problem with my 290(X)s and DarkCoin: unstable hashrate with a dropping average.

I tried to set gpu-threads from 1 to 8 and it's doesn't actually help. The 1s average seems to be significantly higher, but the real average remains the same and WU seems to drop!
Also, starting with 10 threads causes instant system-wide crash (no reboot via ssh, I have to manually flip the power switch in the garage).
And 4 or 2 threads doesn't make any real (measurable/significant) difference compared to 1 (it never did for my 290(X)s with any miner/algo/bios/clocks/etc, may be caused a slightly lower WU).

Setting lookup-gap to 1 from 2 doesn't cause any significant difference (it almost halves my hashrate with scrypt).

Setting thread-concurrency to 0.5x or 2x (the latter requires lookup-gap >=2) of my default 20480 doesn't help either.



By the way. I saw many people using worksize 512 even though it's actually maxed at 256 in every cgminer variants I know.
May be somebody should actually make that usable.
If it's as simple as changing the limit in the source then could you please point to the right file and the line number?

It's indeed very probable that:
- one person have multiple addresses which have >=100 BTC and he still spends his time with faucets to grow those amounts by <0.01 BTC
- several different people have one or more addresses which have >=100 BTC and they still spend their time with faucets to grow those amounts by <0.01 BTC

Ahh. It's pointless for me.
Diff is already way too high for solo mining and for some reason, my cgminer-reorder with keccak/skein/etc doesn't like to connect to stratum pools.

Again...
How do you know it wasn't the woman's idea? May be she kept arguing with her husband until he finally gave in to her and they executed the whole thing together as she planned it.
I don't say this was the case but you can not know. So, why do you act like you know anything for a fact?

Even if the wife knows absolutely nothing about anything, but she intends to spen the money what her husband gave to her, she could probably spend stolen money. Is that OK?


Just to be clear.
I personally doesn't give a f**k about his friends or relatives. I am not even obsessed with Karpeles himself.
I care only about the coins, and even then I am far from being bloody serious (it's not that much). The person(s) behind it doesn't matter.
But I feel like I have to make these arguments when I read your posts: "Leave alone the innocent woman". -> Roll back to the beggining of the post: Who knows if she is in fact innocent? I don't. I have zero facts. Where is your proof? Do you have some kind of facts machine?

Well, the kid certainly is. But why are you so sure about the wife...? She could be involved in many ways at various levels. You don't know. Just like you don't know anything about Karpeles himself either. Or more importantly, the truth about Gox. And that's what makes people frustrated...

Dev, Could you please tell me which Bitcoin wallet code you used (0.8.x or 0.9.x) and what's the name of the default data folder (and *.conf file)?

With Keccak? For those who have some old FPGA from earlier Bitcoin days, yes. For GPU farmers? Nope...
As a GPU guy, I want Scrypt with N>1024 (preferably even higher than Vertcon's) and I also like X11 (even though I still have some minor unresolved problem with it's mining).

By the way, I still have millions of HexCoin, so I am not sure if I need more unsellable meth.

Could you please link the swisscex.com market directly? I am logged in there but I can't find it.

Relax! I don't sell anything I don't own.

Good call.

If you don't wish to wait until the blocks get confirmed, you can just buy my pub+priv pair to the coins and import them like you sweep a cold storage.

stratum+tcp://stratum.crunchharder.net:3020 -> [02:27:16] Pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (unknown reason)
The same thing goes for stratum+tcp://skc.coinmine.pl:6400
It connects to my wallet only (which is the official Win64 binary).

I compiled the latest version from here about an hour before the start:
https://github.com/reorder/cgminer_skein

I am at block 80 right now, didn't find a block since the 65. but I am unable to connect to any pools.
The fist block I found has 62 confirmations.

Indeed.
Either I am really lucky today, or something is wrong. I just found the 65. block. That's 11/67 with ~900Mh/s. I don't think it's normal. It's either luck or forked blockchains!
Last time I found too much blocks, the coin died because practically everybody was on it's own chain...

I just found another one which makes it 10/50
