pool.darkcoin.io seems to be down

Pool will be down for a few minutes, load was high and we are moving it to a much bigger server.

Besides we had > 80% of the network hash, so it would be good to have some people move to other pools too.

I've forgot to mention about mobile wallet but DarkSend implementation first...

drk.lotterymining.com is ready for more miners, moved to better setup, and can now handle the load

each week we have a lottery, each day your actively mining equals 1 lottery ticket,

pool fee is 1% - 50% of those are in the lottery pot, plus ive added 100 drk on top, welcome :-)

Mein Furher, status on Dark send? the allies are rallying over Berlin.

I pointed my GPU to your pool, seems to be getting the full hashrate so far. Will report if I see any issues but hopefully we'll find some blocks.

Looks like hashrate is coming down from the official pool, glad to see the redistribution.

[Lebubar]

Unfortunatly... If the diff still rising (47 now) and the prize don't follow I'll stop mining this coin   

I have only 1 gpu and give me the same hash rate as a i7 with sgminer...

I am minig with 10* 8 cores...

This is quite an ambiguous situation for investors. Should we sell now before GPU miners start to dump their coins and the price will go down? Or should we wait for the announcement of new feature test results when the price will probably increase? Which will come first? Haven't decided yet.

[TanteStefana]

Morning, yah, my hash rate is only about 160 k/h on my desktop's AMD  5550 and 500 kh/s or so on my 5770.

I don't have high end stuff ;P

I dont get the argument of why people mining with gpus are more likely to sell them than those mining with cpus.

Personally, when I see the hash rate go up, it usually means that it gets harder to mine for everyone.  If only a few people had the GPU miner (which I personally think was the case), then they have an advantage.  This is when it gets easy for some to pump and dump.  When the playing field is evened out, there isn't as much advantage to pump and dump.

I have low end equipment, I'm just keeping up with what I was making before by adding GPU

I have noticed the highest miners have not suddenly increased their capacity, therefore, I suspect they already had Gpu miners working.

This leveled the playing field.

I can't say some fool will dump their coin, but I can say, if they do, and I can, I'm a buying 'em up!

GPU miners have more hash power hence higher chances of finding and solving blocks, thus more coins to toss around. They're also known to be the asic-adjacent miners of asic proof coins.

Hell, take a look at coins like GRID coin or UTC and see what GPU miners are doing to it.

It's a matter of volume. I was mining DRK with CPU, getting some 250-300 KH/s, around 12 DRK a day. Not thinking about selling because I really want to see the concept implemented, but with those rates, at current prices, the profit is small and less tempting to cash out. This perspective changes if you multiply the results by 5-10+ when using a decent GPU. Also the difficulty rises faster and CPU miners are slowly moved out of the picture.

I'm personally a little disappointed since one of the two things that made DRK interesting for me as announced (CPU only) turned out to be false. But I'm not selling and will follow developers work.

The public testing and improvement phase of the DarkSend technology officially begins right now!

I agree. I kind of gave up on mining since the GPU release I noticed the amount of coins I was making drop quite a bit. I loved the fact that it was CPU only, but now it is just one of many GPU coins. But, I'm holding what I have.

They aren't. But GPU mining is generally multiple times more profitable than CPU electricity cost wise. Also it's much easier to build a GPU farm than a CPU farm having an equal hashrate. People who mine with their own PC with a GPU probably will hold but GPU farm owners often take quick profits and sell their mined coins rightaway especially if the coin becomes popular and mining is profitable.

When the playing field is evened out, there isn't as much advantage to pump and dump.

Maybe, but before it evens out we may see a large price drop.

But it's still resistant to multipools which is also a nice feature.

Aha! But maybe there are some of us who just like to be involved in a truly anonymous coin and we won't worry so much about some initial volatility in the coin.

I just want to see this work out into a truly anonymous coin.

That way I can unload all my coinye

It will be the same amount of coins mined every day. The difficulty might be higher and the people getting the coins will not be you and me as before, but the market won't be more flooded as coins/day will stay more or less the same.
However, it can make your already mined coins more worth as now it will probably be priced for the increased hashrate/watt/dollar.

Worst thing that can happen is that factory miners will start mining hard and then drop it leaving us difficulty-locked
