I have some newbie mining questions.

I started with cryptos about a month or so ago, and tried some cloud mining recently (my PC is way too wimpy to mine with) and tried the Azure trial/CPU mining with darkcoin. The last couple of days it's slowed down, a lot... and I see in the lottery pool a block hasn't been found in a long time now.

Anyway, is this because of the GPU miner? Has it basically destroyed CPU mining on this coin completely? Or is the lottery pool messed up?

Well if the pool is not finding blocks, how are you going to get paid? It's simple really.

The hashrate has gone up since 20-25 days ago due to

a) cpu miner 1.20c
b) increased interest / miners
c) many azure instances going online
d) cpu miner 1.30
e) increased interest / more miners / more cpu farms
f) development of sgminer for GPUs
g) spike of interest due to coinmarketcap.com listing that made quite a few people aware of what's going on over here
h) arrival of significant GPU hashpower (and some CPU power) after (g)

(in that order).

The payouts are normally much reduced for everyone involved which means that people will appreciate more what 1 DRK actually means since it is mined with difficulty.

Difficulty in producing the coin = you value it more = you hesitate to dump it for cheap = prices soar.

CPUs are still in the game, although GPUs now represent a large percentage of the net's hashrate.

Hey guys... And Dev team.

I want to help out in terms of popularity an SEO - Social Network Links, Backlinking and all that I have experience in this field.

I also have a huge email list in the IM niche and starting new campaigns on Bitcoins and most importantly DARKCoins.


That being said, www.drkcoin.com is part of this project. It is not complete nor is it a competition.

It is a portal to the main website. I also touched up the logo a bit.

I am not here for copyright or any trademark abuse. I am a fan of this coin, I hold many and I want it to succeed.

I am open to ideas and suggestions but before I put real work into this I want to know if its okay with the dev team.

 

Cheers,

Ty.

IMO the #1 thing that darkcoin requires is a good and objective wikipedia entry, thus people can google darkcoin and find all about it right there. Right now google throws much irrelevant crap when one writes darkcoin (this can be different depending your area, browser history etc) and that can be rectified by a wiki entry that will be the #1 result (after the page is created and indexed).

As I said earlier the best way to promote something is to let others discover it instead of promoting it to them (which creates the reverse psychological effect of "they are trying to scam me") but in our time this means they have to google it. And googling darkcoin is problematic without a wiki entry.

Yep, I was just checking first if the lottery pool was working correctly, since it does have quite a bit of invalids. And if GPUs make CPU mining (or cloudmining) not worth doing anymore. I didn't start cloudmining that long ago, but difficulty has about tripled from when I started (maybe 1-2 weeks ago).  I have about three days left on my Azure, so suppose I'll leave it pointed at the lottery pool and hope they find something eventually. I just noticed that the past day or two that the pool hasn't found much, and that the hash rates on the main pool went up a ton (due to GPU mining).

I plan to just hold onto my coins and see how they do. Again, it's found money for me, and actually quite nice, as up until now I was just playing with freebie giveaways and such. Maybe in a year, my 110 or so coins may be worth a decent amount.

OK what does this error from SGminer mean

line 79: catastrophic error cannot open source file Blake.cl

prob that ur not using a .bat or that you should place the darkcoin-sgminer folder in the root level of your C drive

Except that payouts decrease with increased interest/hashing anyway.  Because of the reduced payouts based on difficulty an individual's rewards is order of 1/(hashing power)^2 instead of just 1/(hashing power).  This give an even more unfair advantage to early adopters than normal, and is going to lead to massive dumping.  I really recommend fixing this aspect of the coin.

Someone just dumped 4000 DRK at .0014.

[tabnk]

We should STOP NEW PEOPLE FROM MiniNg this coin ANYMORE. Hash RATE too high now, reward too low for us old timer to mine

We need to keep dark coin at low profit .

[jajunk77]

Are u running Catalyst 13.12 or later?

Uninstall driver (using CCC uninstaller) and install driver from 13.11 beta95

http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_13_11_beta_9_5_driver_download,2.html

Yes, I believe one is 13.15 and one is 13.13.  I will give that a try.  Though I thought I read on here someone else suggested to get the latest BETA and try that.  Thanks for the help and link.

Same thing happened to me, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5209581#msg5209581

It will work

Neither this or the suggestion of --no-adl worked for me... still same errors and then shuts down.  Has anyone else had this problem and got it working for the gpuminer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5219985#msg5219985

Doesn't wikipedia usually consider altcoin articles insignificant and delete them?

problem is, those using gpu miner on lotterymining are setting their intensity way to high, so sgminer is sending out a ton of invalid shares to the pool

Do they? Hmmm... That's a problem then. I do see however that they have listed various coins that are near the top of coinmarketcap like ripple, lite, peer, name, doge, prime and master.

edit: They also mention zero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerocoin and ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinye

Just noticed the sell book is very light up until .0024 over at Polo, wondering it we'll see a quick run up again soon.

What's up with drk.smalltimeminer.com?

Goddamn pool has a lot of my DRK.

[eduffield]

What's up with drk.smalltimeminer.com?

Goddamn pool has a lot of my DRK.

That's Bigal's pool. I sent him a message earlier and haven't heard anything back, plus ALL of his ~15 pools are down. I'm not sure what's going on

I had an answer from him, he said 'All the pools are down right now due to repeated ddos attacks, no estimation when they might be back up, could be several days'

[mannie]

Here is an interesting article about why Amazon will eventually accept Bitcoin and a para from another article about the price impact of such a boost in demand. If DRK becomes popular among people concerned about privacy, thanks to its fundamentally new anonymous coin mixing, major retailers would have to accept it to. Reason enough to be bullish about DarkCoin, I think.


http://www.thestreet.com/story/12317595/1/why-amazon-will-eventually-take-bitcoin-or-something-like-it.html


An anonymous viral e-mail circulating among bitcoin watchers and partisans lays out a few simple hypothetical usage and adoption scenarios, and their consequences for bitcoin's price. If Amazon.com (AMZN) adopted bitcoin for all payments, its volume of $38 billion, divided by a supply of (at the time of the email's writing) about 7 million bitcoin, would make each bitcoin worth $5,400. If $300 billion in international remittance was conducted in bitcoin, that volume alone would push the price to $42,000. Adding these, along with online poker and gas station transactions, would lead to a total transaction volume of $602 billion -- and a bitcoin, even at today's expanded supply of 12 million coins, worth $50,000.

[TanteStefana]

I just sent 30 payments from 4 clients through DarkSend in a row without a single error and it went swimmingly    It's starting to look pretty solid! Anyone around today that wants to help me do some closed testing possibly before the big test tomorrow night?

* We need Ubuntu x64 and Windows users

Where is the testing thread?  I have Ubuntu 64, want to help???
