BITCOIN @ MTGOX is US$ 90 per BTC. There are few potential alt-coin that can over take BTC. Hopefully, DRK is one of it !!!!!!!!! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Hey guys what kind of hashrate should I be getting on DRK with 2 mh/s scrypt?
5-6mh/s Yes with 4mh/s scrypt I am getting 11.5mh/s DRK.

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"? Here the cat cpuinfo : ubuntu@ip-172-31-11-52:~/v2$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 62 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2651 v2 @ 1.80GHz stepping : 4 microcode : 0x415 cpu MHz : 1800.055 cache size : 30720 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 8 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 apicid : 1 initial apicid : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 13 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr pae cx8 sep cmov pat clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht syscall nx lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes f16c rdrand hypervisor lahf_lm arat epb pln pts dtherm fsgsbase erms bogomips : 3600.11 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 46 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: I'll try the "-march=core-avx-i" or "-march=corei7-avx" and told you the result in a moment.

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)
There's an instant buy option on Coinbase, you need to add your credit card and there's a limit how much you can buy per day.

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.
Not really. In darkcoin one of your cards equals one of another's person cards. Everyone is equal but burns less. In scrypt if you went to reduce performance + watt consumption you would be disadvantaged versus the performance of others. Here everyone is running at what the gpu miner can currently give as max speed. 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.
Bitcoin uses less ram and for that reason is actually slightly harsher on the GPU itself. A plain cgminer 3.7.2 with cgminer --benchmark ...will show SHA256 hashing speeds/temps. In general more ram use = more time for the GPU to breathe and wait for new processing load (and of course that degrades performance).

Anyone else here getting the feeling the price of Darkcoin is about to explode?
Normally I don't make posts like this, but I'm feeling a breakout tonight. I'm liking what I see in the charts.

Send BTC from your wallet to https://poloniex.com/exchange/btc_drk , goes super quick buy (bit slow that page) send back to DRK wallet and all happy ! did it a bunch of times and all good and save…>>

Hmm can you explain... Crystal ball? The video with 96 views 2 hours ago? Ilumination? The successfull test of DarkSend yesterday? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

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 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) 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. Yet another point of view: Because of the variations in the algorithms, there might be more CPU involvement, and the GPU will never reach "peak efficiency" because it is being re-tasked to run a different algorithm, which will take some number of cycles away from raw computer cycles, or at least running them differently... [Disclaimer: It's quite possible I'm completely off base here]

We're also the only crypto in the top 20 not on any major exchange. Neither coinedup. btc38, cryptsy or bter. This is the calm before the storm.

Oohhhh nice nice.... Do you think that trading with crypto follow the same rules than forex? But don't worry I think like you, DRK will go up but tonight? I'm not sure... EDIT : @Sigi. I love the blue one... E-X-E-L-E-N-T

This is the only coin that will obfuscate the transactions from the wallet. No third party that has to be trusted with your information to obfuscate it for you (mixing services) such as fedoracoin. It's an actual coin, not a coin as a way to turn other coin's transactions into obfuscated transactions like zerocoin, which hasn't had an established coin implement their technology yet, and I don't think they're ready to do so yet anyway. DarkCoin has an untrusted solution, that means you don't have to trust any entity. No one can cheat. It works the same and as part of the blockchain. That is why Darkcoin is above the rest and will remain so even when the source is opened. It isn't so easily implemented into an existing coin, though it can be in time, so it means a lot being the originator and the first.
