The dash in the D could lead to confusion with Dogecoin, which is much larger and has been using it longer. Also, a metallic look is nice during a one-time side-by-side comparison, but for something ubiquitous that you see over and over again, you want something flatter and more cartoony like LTC's logo.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

+1 You raise fair points. IMO we really need a graphic designer who knows their shit to decide on a set of official graphics. Branding & logo design has a lot of intricacies and it's easy to make mistakes if you're not in the biz. Having said that, the crypto world moves fast and it's not unusual to rebrand down the track. Still early days for DarkCoin. I'm not sure the D would be confused for doge given the colouring, but considering the official dodge symbol is Ð, it might be good to avoid making the DRK logo look too similar. |

I was thinking about this earlier, does anyone know how hot GPUs run mining bitcoin? If that runs cooler I would tend to think the extra power draw and heat is because scrypt pretty much rewrites the entire ram available as fast as possible over and over again, whereas Bitcoin/Darkcoin would only use a small amount of ram.
Curiosity got the better of me... below are some test results for 2 x HD7950. Power is measured at the wall. Idle power is 210W. darkcoinhashrate: 3.80Mh/s temps: 52,57 power: 415W bitcoinhashrate: 1.21 Gh/s temps: 69,76 power: 680W litecoinhashrate: 1.34Mh/s temps: 73,81 power: 740W This may not be a valid comparison because I don't know how to optimize settings for bitcoin. All I did was fiddle with the intensity setting. Does 605Mh/s for each HD7950 sound reasonable? What config do you use for darkcoin? |

That's awesome! Best I've seen so far by a long way. Nice and solid looking. I'd be curious to see a 'gold' version where the silver was gold instead. |

What hashrate could I get on a single 280x let say 1050/1500?
bring the engine speed up to 1100! i get 2.2 mhash with it  Cool thanks! Like how much darkcoin per day with that 2Mh/s? Is there any calculator site available? |

NET HASH @ 6GH/s. It is amazing !!!  With pool.darkcoin.io down? Still? Please use p2p from now on so you aren't at the mercy of these pool operators. Connected to p2pool --> http://112.175.123.82:8372/static/now all i get are these msg from the miner: Pool 0 difficulty changed to 0.XX stratum from pool 0 requested work restart What should I do?? |

I'm seeing almost the exact same hash rate from my 7950s while mining DRK, and while anecdotally I know they're running way cooler, I don't have a Kill-A-Watt to test the power draw. Taking your idle draw into account, it seems that each 7950 draws roughly 100W extra mining DRK versus 265W mining LTC. Saving 165W per card shaves an awful lot off the electric bill when they're going full throttle 24/7  |

Ok, after doing a bit more research there seems to be no information on which port to use to solo mine DRK so I am guessing it is not possible, could someone confirm/deny this please?

I agree with doge thing. I showed this dark coin logo to my friends who doesn't know anything about darkcoin, and they asked me if it is a doge coin logo. Original darkcoin on the first page of this thread looks much more authentic with two stripes inside letter "D" |
