And now, how about collecting a good hefty bounty for a working effective GPU miner? I'd put down up to 1000 DRK - not much but if many people donate it'll build up.

If more people are interested I could work on GPU miner for a bounty. I already have something more or less working (pools are accepting shares, also solo-mined one block this night with it), but it's still very slow (nearly 2 MH/s on Radeon R9 290). Unfortunately I can't promise it will get much faster, still working on possible optimizations.

FYI

I'll put up 1000DRK, but I want the code you have now, to prove that it is getting at least what you say.

I'll match his 1000DRK

I can definitely make a GPU miner (how fast it will be is another question, but based on the algorithms in hand, they all parallelize pretty well, so I expect it to be reasonably fast).

But a few people offering 1000DRK isn't enough incentive. It's not the money (if it was, I'd make one for myself), I just need some more detail. Have you already got someone working on a GPU miner, for instance? I don't want to put 10 hours into this only to find that you've had someone else do it.

I've been working on this one, I'm not sure it works. https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin-sgminer

Looks like you've prepped cgminer for the new X11 kernel, am I right? I'll send a PM to phm and see where he's at with it

Ps, As for naming things, I think I'm going with DarkSend. It works well in all of the different ways it needs to "Darkcoin with DarkSend", "./darkcoind darksend Xaddr 10", "Just darksend the money", "The darksend is still pending", "To see the status of the DarkSend Pool, just type getpoolinfo", and all of the classes will sound cool (DarkSend, DarkSendPool, DarkSendInfo).

I think DarkSend is the best of the bunch, but my only comment would be to avoid having CamelCase on it, when "Darkcoin" doesn't have. The problem is then that Darksend could be read as "Darks end". Ideally, there would be one that works without CamelCase without this confusion.

Anyone working on coinmarketcap or did we decide to wait for anonymity? In my calculations drk should be somewhere around 20.

My miner is based on this sgminer, I just tweaked it a little and added OpenCL X11 kernel that is currently missing in eduffield's code.

Me and Ape spent the last couple nights defeating various bugs with the implementation. We're making huge progress to a closed alpha, there's a couple more things I want to work out, then we should be able to release something (maybe this weekend if we're lucky?  )

Wow! Amazing dude! Real close to breaking the crypto barrier so many have tried. DarkSend is sweet!

Ah, I didn't realize you based your code off mine. Can you push me the changes at least to get it working for the benefit of everyone?

One coin(BTC) to rule them all,

One coin to premine them;

One coin to bring them all,

And in the darkness bind them.

I'm trying to compile and run cpuminer in Ubuntu, and I >think< it's failing to run because I don' t have the X11 algorithm in the git pull. Everything else seems to work, but when I include "-a X11" in the command line, it tells me to type --help. If I leave the -a flag out, it connects fine via stratum, but of course all my hashes are rejected.

Where can I get it? And what do I need to do to compile and run it in Ubuntu?

Make sure you are using the miner from the web site. darkcoin.io. There is a link to the correct source there.

Can someone please explain the differences between Darkcoin and Anoncoin?

Anon coin is only for the tor network. Darkcoin should be anonymous on the internet full stop ('period' for my american friends)

Fedora coin with 1st mixing coins is more anonymous now...
What about DRK and botnets ? Can Dark be taken by botnet ?
If DRK devs will do their job coin will explode.

Sorry for the newbishness of this post -

I only see the source for the linux wallet there. Should I simply be using the wallet (-gen) to mine? I was actually trying to mine via a pool, so I was compiling the pooler cpuminer. Should I be doing something with the Qt source?

At some point of time definitely, but not yet.

Thanks! You rock, and I love this coin, BTW.

I'm not a coder, but I'd like to help out in any way I can.

You really want to update it to https://github.com/ig0tik3d/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.2c as it's even faster and better.  Please update the first page here as well

join Lotterypool or smalltimeminer (links on first page) so that we spread the hash around, much healthier for the coin and for all of us!

My furher, how is the anonimity module coming along? We are gaining a bit of traction. The Russians are getting antsy on the Eastern front.

Me and Ape spent the last couple nights defeating various bugs with the implementation. We're making huge progress to a closed alpha, there's a couple more things I want to work out, then we should be able to release something (maybe this weekend if we're lucky?  )

Great to hear it! You guys are awesome, and this coin has some great hope with devs and people you you guys!

I have a Windows computer with i7 / Nvidia GPU, and also a mining rig with three powerful AMD Radeons which are itching to mine Dark coin.  If you need a alpha / beta tester I'm happy to be a help out!

And Dark send sounds good to me! Keep it simple, Dark everything lol

Hey guys,

I'm been mining Darkcoin since the start, love the coin, and my little collection of it lol.

I've read that some people have had problems updating their client / QT / wallet.  I just wanted to ask a few questions to make sure I do things right!

I updated on the day that blockchain was updated, so I'm not sure if I'm on the old or the new client...

It says DarkCoin Version: v0.8.8.0-g6d45d9b-beta
Client name: Satoshi

{
"version" : 80800,
"protocolversion" : 70002,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"blocks" : 16266,
"timeoffset" : -1,
"connections" : 7,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 44.69112782,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1391193115,
"keypoolsize" : 100,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00001000,
"unlocked_until" : 0,
"errors" : ""
}

Is this the new version / correct chain etc?

Thanks so much guys, and to the dev, and everyone in this community!
