Yay, @eduffield's DarkGravityWave


graph: http://darkcoin.mine.nu/graph.html

Care to explain the graphs for noobs? (i.e. me)

I have been following the thread for a few days but know very little about mining. I understand that Evan made  changes (or rewrote?) something called KGW and replaced it with DGW (DarkGravityWave) and I can see that the graphs look a little different after it's implementation but what does it all mean?

[tifozi]

I am seeing more and more crypto trolls these days, here and elsewhere. Some are paid lackeys but it is pointless to "market" this to r/bitcoin or any other specific crypto subreddit. There are bitcoin holders (ironically low quantities) who simply hate each and every single coin not named bitcoin due to a variety of reasons. If this coin grows, it will certainly not be impacted by a random troll on reddit so there is no pointing in feeding them either.

They are plots of the difficulty over time. Basically, with KGW there was an exploit that made that crazy top readjustment happen (10k difficulty), which is staggering. When the difficulty jumps like this, the block generation time slows way down. Instead of being every 2.5 minutes, it becomes much higher. This is detrimental to the network because it slows down transactions and confirmations. Evan fixed it. Now that crazy jump won't happen, and it's also smoother over time (compare the two 6 hour charts to see this).

Anyone notice we're on the first page of r/Bitcoin right now?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/

That troll is horrible. Its incredibly annoying that the bitcoin subreddit blindly up votes this. But honestly, the OP of that post is probably intentionally hurting darkcoin and just looked for any reason. I run the @darkcoinnews twitter account and he's spamming his reddit post with fake twitter account everywhere.

How convenient that is now that your interview is out and we're gaining positive attention.

out of several rigs all using the same set-up and configs, this rig is the only one playing up. I'm wonder if I should try a pool server closer to the UK:



Like I said, every now and then there is a bunch of rejects that lead to this rig being banned from drkpool.

I'll fix that, it's a bit sensitive. We had people running scrypt and it was recording all of their shares for 10 minutes before banning them, so I patched the code to be much more quick about it, maybe I overdid it. Thanks

can you give us your exact conf file please.

Thanks for that. I had noticed that the difficulty with KGW was much more block-like but wasn't sure of the significance, or that it could affect me!

LOL, I've just been spending the last almost hour having way too much fun posting on that thread, LOL

[badman74]

How are the 'addnode' s  created?  I don't get that part, LOL   But I do see what you mean above, and understand, just still curious about the other

Can you clarify what you mean?

Oh you know, those addnodes we put in our darkcoin folder?

addnode=54.80.16.112
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37

Where do they come from?  What do they actually do?  Are they running some kind of software?  Are they websites?

heh i dont even have a darkcoin.conf file so no addnodes for me

[Honest Tim]

Yeah I tried! I suppose at least a week before a hard fork is needed beyond this stage of the coin. We were so limber a few weeks ago!

Sounds like a good plan   Lets hope no more security holes happen (though those that happened came from outside YOUR code - my perfect Evan [I'm getting creepy now aren't I?  LOL])  Oh boy, I better rein in my sense of humor....

I was guessing that, but I have refused to watch it, as it's a little too warped for me, and don't know it visually. LOL.  My daughter, unfortunately, never shuts up about the gross movies she likes to watch, so I do have an idea what the plot is.

What's the second picture?  To kill a mocking bird?

[patrolman]

Are any coins lost in the forking?

Please deposit any coins found here: XwKvXfLt71jAC5Skyn39t7ydT9TivVrToa

[TanteStefana]

Are any coins lost in the forking?

Well, unfortunately, some of the pools didn't update in time, so they were mining on the wrong blockchain.  Those coins were "lost" or invalid.

heh i dont even have a darkcoin.conf file so no addnodes for me

I'd just like to know what they are, what they do, who hosts them?  Are these ip's from wallets?  Is that why I'm confused?

Sorry I didn't know what you meant, it seems obvious in hindsight. Right now those are centralized DarkSend master nodes. They are static and never change, pretty much the same as Blockchain.info's CoinJoin mixer. The code Evan is working on will not need those. That's where the hash of the previous block comes in to play.

To summarize: hash(block) -> some kind of mapping -> IP address. Every client will simultaneously run this computation and know that that particular client is the master node. It will be seamless to the end user. You won't have to add any nodes to your config.

Evan(definitely) and InternetApe(assumption) are hosting them.

Looking for a Darkcoin pool where there is someone available to help most of the time? http://www.nimuecrypto.com/mining-pool/
We have started a round of promotional block rewards.

        - First Block: 0.75 DRK - Unclaimed

        -  Second Block: 0.5 DRK - Unclaimed

        -  Third Block: 0.35 DRK - Unclaimed

        -  Fourth Block: 0.25 DRK - Unclaimed


Regular Block reward: 0.2 DRK Per block until we decide to run the promotions again.  Good luck!

•  ZERO FEES, but please consider at least a 0.5% donation to help with electricity and bandwidth costs.
•  VARDIFF is supported with a minimum difficulty of 16 and a target maximum of 1024.
•  PPLNS Payout system (Miners are paid in a lump sum when blocks are found, based on their shares).

I guess I still want to know how they are created/function and presumably what software they run
