how do I get a wallet and mine, someone pm me if you can help me I will donate thanks

[Sigi]

Here's the new version of coin visuals. Opinions and suggestions are welcome, and I also wouldn't mind if something dark crawls into my wallet, so donations are welcome as well.

If you have like 5-10 different images, with lights, without lights, different angles, lighter, darker, more metallic, less metallic, slightly colored, more this or more that, then upload the different variations so that we can have a "menu"...

This one, I think, has too much light.

NEW VERSION CPU MINER, ABOUT 10% IMPROVEMENT*

https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

I improved the cpu miner for another 10% and updated the project on github. I tried different processors and I've seen an improvement from 8% to 11%.
Remember, this version works only for processor that support the AES-NI instruction set.

Here the list of Intel processors supporting it:
http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?AESTech=true

And for AMD, the series:
Bulldozer-based, Piledriver-based and Jaguar-based.



Let me know what is your improvement with your cpu. Binaries for Windows version will come (some tip can accellerate the process )



*Donations are very appreciated

Just sent a donation.

Is anyone else not being able to connect to http://pool.darkcoin.io/ ?

I had 47 coins there

Elmad,
Unfortunatlyt for the EC2 with ubuntu didn't imporoved :
I go from ~ 375 Kh/s (your first version 1.3)
to down 315 Kh/s (your new version 1.3)

It's the official pool so no need to panic. They are going up and down today (as far as the site is concerned).

edit: It's up now.

okay, thanks, was worried for a bit.

Don't worry. Goxilla comes when you least expect her.

make sure you have all the requirements, something like this on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo git clone https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

cd darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes

sudo chmod +x autogen.sh

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

sudo make

[elmad]

Elmad,
Unfortunatlyt for the EC2 with ubuntu didn't imporoved :
I go from ~ 375 Kh/s (your first version 1.3)
to down 315 Kh/s (your new version 1.3)

What says "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ?

Could you try to compile with "-march=core-avx-i" or "-march=corei7-avx" instead than "-march=native"?

[tabnk]

Thank, it work. I'm think my lib is not up to date

Is there still no profitability calculator that will show what your expected earnings are per day yet?

[elmad]

Please after install say to me what improvement you have and what cpu use.

[tabnk]

NEW CPU MINER Performance dropped.

Oh damn. Could you add please at these messages what cpu u use?

[HammerHedd]

Do we have an Official "Darkcoin accepted here" banner? If not we may need one soon, Please post imgur links here or the DRK subreddit!

Great job! I like the way you lightened the coin a bit as well.

[TanteStefana]

Well, my coinbase bitcoins finally cleared.  When I bought the bitcoins, I could have bought 185 darkcoins with them.  Today, I bought 34.

Isn't there a way  where you can buy when you want to buy, directly from your checking or something?  It jus sucks to have to wait an entire week for your coin!  (bad luck it being a holiday weekend)

[eduffield]

I must say I started mining this coin yesterday and everything runs 50% plus cooler. I need to get my killawatt out and see the draw compared to a normal scrypt coin. So far I love it!

Thanks Devs

I also put few of my card to mine this coin and it's true that cards run a lot cooler.
Please post results from that killawatt reader.

Ok here are the results. This miner is a 4x270

Normal Coin: 887 - 892
Darkcoin: 550-552

That's a huge difference on my power bill

Yep.  Mining scrypt my rig pulls 1150W doing 2.1Mh/s.  On darkcoin it uses 650W doing 6.2Mh/s.

As someone else has pointed out earlier though, this reduced power consumption could simply be because there's way more code optimisation to be done yet and the GPUs are only doing 50% of what is possible.  I can make my GPUs run cooler mining scrypt coins too (and more efficiently) if I want to.

Here's another point of view...  assuming that we can't push any more performance out of the GPUs while mining darkcoin, it could be argued that it is less efficient because you need to purchase 2 cards to do the work that 1 card should be capable of, in terms of raw computing power.

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.
