Am I too late to start mining Darkcoin?
Not too late, The price of Darkcoin would have much room for improvement in a period of time, Good luck to you. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

A few all-around "optimizations": First post: (additions/alterations) 1) DarkSend progress report (V5) 2) The new block explorer 3) Change of description for 1.2c / SSE2 miner (the link is for 1.2c binary) 4) Extra link for version 1.3 AVX/AES binary (it can be found here) http://download.darkcoin.fr/darkCoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes-windows-binaries.zip5) GPU miner link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0+ 6) Release date should return to a more normal font size (since it's not a pre-ann) and be something like "Released on x date / 0 premine". If emphasis on the premine aspect is needed, it's not necessary to capitalize the release (which is already past). --- Darkcoin explorer: + Darkcoin explorer should write DRK instead of XCO + Darkcoin explorer should feature the new coin design --- Source code for wallet: + https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/blob/master/src/qt/res/icons/toolbar.png should be changed with new coin design --- Website: - Change description of 1.3 AVX/AES miner to 1.2 SSE2 miner (as the link points to 1.2) - Add 1.3 miner binary - Add sources for 1.3 miner - Add sources for the GPU miner: https://github.com/prettyhatemachine/sph-sgminer- Change link of darkcoin sgminer as it is the first incarnation and should be slower than the second one - Change font of Darkcoin on the top (too fat - problematic aesthetics), then a snapshot of the website can be taken and replace the thread logo on the first post as well with a more pleasing version. Release information should also be toned town as it's two months back, not a pre-ann. (links for miners are collected here: http://wiki.darkcoin.fr/index.php?title=Installer_Minage_CPU_Windows )

certainly a stupid question, sorry for that. I can mine on pool with no issue. I try now to put some of my miner on p2pool, different one for test. But i cant mine on p2pool. i try with all same setting. I just change ./sgminer -k darkcoin -o http://IP-OF-THE-P2POOL:7903 -u MY-KEY -p x what do i miss ? Try this ./sgminer -k darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://IP-OF-THE-P2POOL:7903 -u wallet_address -p x

I cant explaine why, but i canl mine on Pp2pool.
you have R:100.0%, its normal ?
I didn't use other option, so I think R:100.0% is normal behaviour. With my config, I got under 2% R. --worksize 256 \ --thread-concurrency 8192 \ --gpu-threads 2 \ --gpu-engine 1040 \ --gpu-memclock 1500 \ --gpu-platform 0 \ --temp-target 75 \ --temp-cutoff 90 \ --shaders 2048 \ --lookup-gap 2 \ --intensity 13 \ --log 1 \ --queue 0 \ --auto-fan \ --worktime

It should be for the pool.

There's certainly increasingly fertile ground for DRK marketing as the block chain's privacy becomes a bigger part of the crypto conversation. Bitcoin thought leader and security expert Andreas Antonopoulos got some of the strongest applause at this week's Coin Summit for his excellent, thoughtful, almost profound remarks about privacy and democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rEtrIjzsceM#t=1018He talks about developing solutions, but doesn't mention Darkcoin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rEtrIjzsceM#t=1452When Darksend is ready, DRK should be showcased at summits like this - people are either already (or soon will be) looking for the turnkey solution it offers.

Briefly attacked and InternetApe fixed it. Seems to be humming along now. Showing lower hashrate is my fault. It should be jumped up to normal hashrate, but I used wrong code. if official == None or ( official / float(official_prev) * 100 > 250 or official / float(official_prev) * 100 < 20 ): official = official_prev
I have chaged it to 1200. Also graph is corrected. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FWggFpeS.png&t=665&c=6EK-jZftBTCwog)

Indeed! Each darksend adds more and more uncertainity as to the actual money paths. It seems that two mixings will be better than one, especially if the mixing node selection maximized uncertainity, eg. converge each nodes in/out to overall average. This would eliminate most of the knapsack attacks. What do you think about being able to specify additional anonymity by requesting additional stages of mixing. The tradeoff is transaction cost/time vs anonymity level. This would eliminate most timing attacks. James Great idea. Actually, injecting an element of randomness in pooling finalisation time would make it really difficult for timing attacks. It'd be cool to have an option in the client to go "pitch dark" or something, where the transaction goes through multiple pooling steps with random pooling times. Although I'm not sure how multiple pooling steps would work in a decentralised implementation.

BorisTheSpider, hope this helps Hello everyone, I'm trying to understand this stratum exploit better, and something is confusing me. The lowest difficulty is defined by the biggest target. So if we look at the nBits of the genesis block, we then convert to hex (from the compact representation) to get the diff 1 targets. In BTC, genesis.nBits = 0x1d00ffff; https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty suggests we convert to a hex representation like: so the hex target is 0x00ffff * 2**(8*(0x1d - 3)) or 0000 0000 ffff 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Which matches https://github.com/Crypto-Expert/stratum-mining/blob/master/lib/template_registry.py where for sha256 diff1 = 0x00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Now looking at a scrypt coin, eg LTC: 0x1e0ffff0 is the genesis block nbits so the hex target is 0x0ffff0 * 2**(8*(0x1e - 3)) or 0000 0fff f000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Which doesn't match stratum-mining if settings.COINDAEMON_ALGO == 'scrypt' or 'scrypt-jane': diff1 = 0x0000ffff00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ie. the stratum-mining code has 4 leading zeros in the 64 byte hex representation of the target, wheras I get 5 leading zeros when doing the conversion from the compact to the full hex representation of the max difficulty. I'm sure stratum-mining must be correct - where am I going wrong? Quote from pooler Hi,
The definition of difficulty in Litecoin is exactly the same as in Bitcoin, that is, it uses the minimum difficulty of Bitcoin, not of Litecoin. Litecoin's minimum difficulty is just that, and plays no role in difficulty/target conversions. That is one important thing to understand.
Then, there is the fact that (for historical reasons which still upset me to this day, basically boiling down to cgminer not supporting non-integer difficulties back in the day) in the Stratum protocol understood by LTC miners the difficulty is multiplied by a factor of 65536 (2^16). So when in sgminer you read diff 65536, that is actually diff 1. This should answer your question.
Cheers, pooler

He seems to be a very thoughtful big-picture thinker. Key quote from the Andreas video about how, outside the US, this issue can literally be a matter of life and death: "While we're trying to appease regulators in the US and give them identity tracking and full transparency of individual actions, regulators in Egypt are using that to drag people out of their homes and torture them - as they are doing in dozens of other countries around the world. We need to be more aware that this is the global environment we live in. Individual privacy means freedom of association and expression. It's a cherished right - one we have to absolutely defend. We have to do it for the places where owning currency and using it as an empowering tool as an individual *gets you killed*." This is about a lot more than masking Magic the Gathering online trading card purchases. Potential market for this is massively global.

That's why this coin will skyrocket once the DarkSend is implemented - real use for masses, not only trading/investment. Major players are stocking up for the last week, both on the official twitter (we're talking several accounts with total tens of thousands of followers) as well as in the private groups. Messages are " undervalued", " great future", " one to stay when the dust settles".
