CPU DRK mining question:

I'm using the fantastic darkCoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes-windows-binaries, with these settings:

Code:

minerd-corei7-avx -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://drk.lotterymining.com:4444 -u username -p password -t 8 -q

My proc: Intel Core i7-3770K, 3.50 GHz

I've been consistently getting 490+ khash/s with those settings, which I think is pretty great, but I'm not sure what others are getting with the same or similar proc.

I've been consistently getting lines like this:

Code:

[2014-02-21 22:01:06] accepted: 43/43 (100.00%), 490.02 khash/s (yay!!!)

But as of this morning and after about 50/50, I've been getting lines like this:

Code:

[2014-02-21 22:22:17] accepted: 77/78 (98.72%), 486.72 khash/s (yay!!!)

Concerning that percentage, 1) what does it mean exactly, and 2) why all of a sudden (after about 2 weeks worth of mining) am I getting less than 100%?

Thanks in advance for helping me with my n00b question! 

I'm also mining on a 3770K and getting more or less the same performance. If your percentage is less than 100% that means you've submitted a stale share(s) ("boooo" instead of "yay!!!"). In your case 1 stale share, hence the 77/78 instead of 78/78. Not anything to worry about unless the percentage drops significantly.

Hi again!

I would just like to say thanks for your support!

and you can keep supporting by donating here if you like the work done;  XbjwNHRzWRstKcKvnxu3ezceqV9jz6xH9w

Thanks against! We believe in Darkcoin!

[illodin]

Would it be possible to update the OP to contain the link for windows binary of the fastest and latest cpu miner? Just wary of downloading anything from random links.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1

If you click the link of the source code, in the page on github, click on Releases, and you'll find the binaries.

Ok found it, thanks! Figured it had only sources as the OP refers to it as "Source"

NET HASH 7.20GH

Nice coin better comunity

Too bad one user alone is putting out 3GH. almost getting half of all daily production =\

310 000 khash on the official pool is 0.3 Ghash, not 3.

https://www2.coinmine.pl/drk/index.php - 3246.95 MH/s (over 3GH/s).

Yeah that's not what he said though. He said one user is putting out that much, confusing it with the top miner on pool.darkcoin.io .

But he said "almost getting half of all daily production =\" which implies that he was talking about a pool.

Yes you are correct, error on my end. Long long day, was looking at other pools that count mh/s and brain farted. Dark goes by kh/s. he's putting out 300mhash

My 3770k does about the same.

And as raze said, one stale share is nothing to worry about. It's consistently stale shares that indicate a problem. A share can go "stale" if your pool issues you a hash to solve, then someone finds the block before your computed hash is submitted. this can also happen if there is some sort of network delay as well.

Im running BAMT linux to mine, im an absolute linux n00b. Could someone help me get started pool mining DRK with this setup???

I'm not sure if anyone else has worked on this but I've created a draft media release about DarkCoin and the testing. I think it's important to get the word out now that DarkSend is in development and then follow up with another release once DarkSend is active.

I'm not the most tech savvy person so would appreciate some help if I've got anything wrong but it may be better for it to be in layman's language considering the readers will largely be non tech media (and consumers of media)!

I think it needs a quote from the Dev so I've added space in there for that. Someone also needs to be the media contact (also Dev?).

Also, it would be good to start a mailing list of media (reporters who are currently covering Bitcoin and others) to send these releases to. Maybe someone could start a spreadsheet on Google docs or something?

Here is the draft release:

It looks pretty good, mannie... I would change " a rival of Bitcoin" to "a Bitcoin alternative" but that's just me. Good work!

Hey guys, made this in a couple hours. Could use some constructive criticism. Let me know what you think. http://Http://youtu.be/ehTwOVKd4m4

I don't know if I was supposed to laugh but I did. Take out the bane quotes. Take out the Deshi Basara chant.

Dang. honestly, my favorite part.
Going to just stick to my day job.

It looks great... all we need now is a stock symbol at the bottom, and we'll totally look corporate.

If anything the video with its minimal production values and perceived cheesiness (by a majority of people who are spoiled with insane Hollywood type crap) could be a funny thing. It's not really good or bad, so why not perceive it as good in some grand scheme.

Anyway serious advice for those of you trading on Poloniex/etc., don't try to make this into a pump and dump thing. Like I feel like if someone sells on that current 5BTC buy order at 0.0019, then, if the buyer (new darkcoin holder) is dubious, they will later wait for someone to put up a 5+BTC order at 0.0021 for example, for simple gains. I'd try to keep a good number of Darkcoins, for the definite future this coin can hold. But this advice (of mine) isn't against making a little BTC profit as well. Just would seem annoying if large buys and sells by the same person are seen by them as the only purpose of / what can currently be done this coin, instead of seeing the entire future and all possibilities.

I've been trading there a lot in the past few days since I find it incredibly relaxing, great website. I try to keep in mind that people want to get in, and give them a few coins to make them feel like they're at least getting something. In case they feel the need to cancel and buy higher, they will have gotten still a few coins at their original price. I think that lets the most all-around good flow of feeling occur, making sure less bad tracks are had. "At least someone was kind enough to give me a few coins at this rate. But I need to buy higher now." This also lets me profit a little bit, while at the same time reducing my coin count, and making me less likely to dump so much at some very higher rate. (Even at really high rates, I find it much more peaceful to continue selling at smaller intervals; and always of course keeping an amount set aside for when actual [useful] applications for trading goods/whatever with this coin become a reality.)

Imanaged to install the Darkcoin miner under BAMT (thanks for all the help)

Now, one little bug remained:
None of the parameters I listed in my cgminer.conf are taken into account, except for the pool (I know it because I started mining).
My mem-clock, gpu-clock, gpu-fan, are ignored.

It's a huge problem because of my gpu-fan are so low by default and my card went up to 90° in a minute.

root@bamt-miner:/home/user# vi /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf

I just noticed that my Intensity is read as well, so may be it's juste everything connected to my Gpu that is not taken into account

backup us.litecoinpool.org will not work.


FAN ? probably amd adl library missing ?
