If anyone is prepared to explain and setup an Amazon based CPU mining farm for me,
then please let me know. I have an Amazon account and will pay a good bounty in
either BTC or DRK. I'm really keen to learn how to outsource the mining of DRK.

It would be interesting if a Amazon GPU mining farm is working with the darkcoin gpu miner and if it's profitable.

I've been playing with it all night - and I'm a little tired

Yes, I have had no problems getting it to run using Ubuntu 13.10, but I'm working out how to create an image and clone an instance to make the whole thing work faster.

There are a number of setup steps that I wrote some simple scripts for, and cloning would be the next step to make this run even faster. I'd say about 5 minutes per instance setup...

After I was done setting up, I could launch sixty instances within one minute.

we are growing, come and help mine darkcoin, and get a chance of winning the lottery pool.

once a week 50% of the fees, plus ive added a 100 drk on top, will be drawn,
to one lucky winner... is it your turn next?[/center]

Witdrawal fee: 0.0

Please spread your hashing power, we dont want 1 pool to have >50%

Is it normal that Unconfirmed value has not been updated many hours today on http://drk.lotterymining.com ? I am mining on the both official and lotterymining pools with about the same rate, but since this morning my Unconfirmed is 0 (I am sure there should be at least something today) and Confirmed value also has not been changed. Official pool is working fine for me: values are changed constantly. Yesterday lotterymining worked fine.

Same problem for me at drk.lotterymining.com

go into transaction, and check if the block has been confirmed,  seems like ppl do not have the patience to wait for the 120 confirmations before they think there is a problem.....

If there is a problem, start with PMing me, instead of writing in the thread... i dont like bad impressions, when its not because of the pool, or pool owner....

besides, smaller the pool, the longer it might take for a pool to successfully find a block...

if in doubt, look at the statistics, and the finder pages to see when the last block was found

We've been working on Pre-Alpha v2 and I think we're ready! I've worked out every known issue that cropped up during the last testing, so this time we're going to be announcing testing ahead of time to allow more people to try DarkSend out. We'll also have a windows test client handy, as well as the Ubuntu QT test client.

Testing begins tonight at 9PM EST. Come join us in the other thread if you want to help out.

So GPU is possible with amazon EC2 instance on ubuntu???
Can you explain us please.


I've got already 16 instance running cpu with version minerd 1.3 from elmad.
If I can agregate gpu on these 16 should be exelente.

blake.cl is in the kernel folder
either move it to the main folder or put the kernel path to that directory and see if that helps

Thanks for that. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Yes, it was a pathing problem. Fixed now. I was not using the C drive at the time, so my pathnames were long and messy.
To fix it, I eventually went back to basics and let the GPU miner package unzip/extract to its default location on C.
The error still appeared, but it was fairly easy to build up an appropriate path.

In case it might help anyone - I used a "mule" batch file, foo.bat, on the desktop, which eventually worked in this basic form:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx DISPLAY 0
cd C:/darkcoin-sgminer-windows/darkcoin-windows/

sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u blah.blee -p blather

For testing I just keyed "foo" in a command window, after a CD to the desktop where the foo.bat file was (CD users/username/desktop).
That prevented those annoying disappearing test results that can happen if you just run a batch file standalone.

Once the basic version worked, I added some detail to speed it up. For now, I'm using:

-I 14 --thread-concurrency 30592 --auto-fan

(grabbed from my litecoin batch file) and that gets 780 Kh/s at the main darkcoin pool with an R9 290X. I'll try to optimize it Real Soon Now and move the whole thing to another drive again.

Edit: I've been tuning the settings with good results so far. I'm now using

-I 19 --lookup-gap 2 --shaders 2816 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 32765 --auto-fan --temp-hysteresis 5

to get 2.6 Mh/s at the main darkcoin pool with an R9 290X. Still tweaking though.
 


 
  

[Probleminfected]

I dumped all my Litecoins, feathercoins and BTC and sunk it all into DRK!

Now make me rich haha!

[rahrahrah]

Using the Windows sgminer on here, this keeps causing my 7990 to spin up and down. It is also hashing at an average of 2.3MH/s whereas my other 7990s (which are located elsewhere so I can't hear them) are doing 3.4MH/s. Any ideas? All use the same version of Windows and AMD drivers.

Tried lowering the thread concurrency but still the same spin up, spin down of the graphics card (fans). Very weird.

You have to get a GPU instance.

g2.2xlarge     8cpu + 1gpu   
cg1.4xlarge 16cpu + 1gpu

They are usually pretty expensive now $0.50+ which makes them unprofitable at this difficulty.

I believe in Darkcoin a lot, but your behavior is extremely risky for you!

[daddeo]

The new Windows CPU miner that elmad created doesn't seem to have increased my hash rate. I just copied the bat file I was using on the old one. Does something else need to be added?

You have to choose the right .exe. There are 4 or 5 different..
And verify you have aes-ni activatade on your cpu.

Thanks. I'm trying on an old Pentium D 920. It's 64 bit and using the Intel processor utility, I can see that it's sse2 and sse3 capable but aes-ni says no. Is that something I can enable in bios or am I just out of luck?

Use miner ver 1.2c.

I have used 1.2c successfully. Just trying to squeeze every last kh/s from the resources I have available. Thanks for the reply.

[Coin-Moron]

Am unable to run my amd 8350 using the new cpu miner.
Showing some json  and html error.
Can someone?

[Acidyo]

Also, looking for someone who can create a reddit tip bot for darkcoin subreddit, willing to give out a few coins that I have to the one that gets one going.

I'll put 20 DRK towards that bounty.  Why don't you quantify your offer so the programmer knows what they'll get then add mine and whatever anyone else offers.

Cool, I don't have much but willing to put out 10 coins myself. That's a total of 30 for now then.

A reddit tip bot will be a big step for this coin, the subreddit will start seeing more traffic and I will personally start tipping people in and out of the subreddit to get more traffic going.

I was one of the first ones to join r/dogecoin and they created a tipbot on the 2nd day. It really did bring a lot of different people to the coin and the crypto world in general.

Looking for some more donations and someone who is able to create one right now.

I myself don't have the know how, unfortunately.

Ooohhh Thanks,
I'm using c.xclarge and with spoted instance they cost me (les or more) 7 cents/h...
And I was thinking stoping it, for the difficulty, but when I saw the prize rising, I decide to continue mining it ...
I can do it, I'm lovin it... Dark forever...

OK, how did you configure the root image? The one I made fails to load for some reason.

Could we not spam this thread with mining questions please?

solved this issue with "temp-hysteresis" : "5", in my config

Au revoir, Vertcoin

[blacklig]

I pay 0.01 BTC for invitation to http://pool.darkcoin.io/ (if they still accept new users via intitation? )
please PM me.
First one takes it if you have some reliable reputation.. or account maturity.
TY

EDIT: DONE please dont send another PMs.

[klixion]

Au revoir, Vertcoin

I think the vertcoin supporters will conVERT over to dark.
