I've read in several places that Darkcoin uses "X11" as a proof-of-work algorithm. I don't understand if merely mean 11 different hash functions combined, or whether it is it a recognized / defined technology, or something else? I'd love to read more about it and learn. If anyone can reffer me by posting some links or an answer about this, i'd appreciate. thnx.
It's 11 different algorithms that the developer named X-11 hence the original name of this coin, Xcoin. A good cpu computer can still hold it's own in the mining of this coin. Check out the first page, he lists them ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) thnx! I will sound stupid here, but in regards to - "A good cpu computer can still hold it's own in the mining of this coin", i tried mining on my PC, and it said that it does not support 32-bit. Should I just drop the thought as being too under-developed, or is there a workaround? thnx again.

I think I love hardware as much as any guy, LOL Maybe I'll be able to buy some with my dark someday ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

If your hardware can do 64 bit, you could duel boot into Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) and mine from there? But really, on slightly older machines, I'd say maybe just buying some coin would be your best bet, always knowing it could be a failed coin, and you could lose your money! only use your disposable income! I mean, I'm mining with my cheaper ATI 5XXX series graphics card and free, single gpu amazon e2 LOL, I get VERY little coin, not even 1 a day now. I doubt it's worth the electricity I'm throwing at it, but my computer is on anyway and I use it at he same time it's mining, so might as well, eh?

just to share with you guys. darkcoin is my only friend right now.
1) had shitty lucky with Vertcoin getting stuck in cryptsy during the epic rise - ended up losing about 6 BTCs... 2) stuck in cryptsy long enough that I couldn't go back to dogecoin (which i originally sold to get into vertcoin) 3) tonight talked to my parents about my fiancee and i planning a wedding (against their wishes) - didn't go well, banished from family pretty much. 4) no one to drink with tonight after this epic failnight.
only thing i have hope for is darkcoin, which i am mining slowly with 280x (since last week). hope it pays for the wedding so i'll have less to worry about.
darkcoin for my dark times. it's 4AM and im just reloading cryptsy over and over in a zombie state hoping it'll take off sometime.
darkcoin is in its infancy, with time it will be on the top 5

Lets come back down to reality for a second. Zerocoin is around the corner, which doesn't suffer from the issue of being able to track amounts using coinjoin which is what Darkcoin is using. So that already means there is going to be a superior anonymous coin out there. It also doesn't suffer from the issue of having to have 2 or more transactions occur at the same time for a darksend transaction to go through(otherwise there will be delays).

But the amount an individual sends and receives can still be tracked.

Yes, but there is more to it than that, only I can't explain it. You should join the testing, it's always open to anyone. And my dreams are a bit tongue in cheek, having fun ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I really don't know exactly how it all works, but it seems to work in testing and fast! I'm wondering if mined coins are included? There doesn't seem to be any delay in the combining of the amounts before they go out again.

I still think darkcoin is undervalued when compared to the competition. For example: Worldcoin, Feathercoin, Megacoin , Infinitecoin, quark, novacoin are all in front of darkcoin which i don't see why they should be.
