best bubble captions will be edited in

Come June 1st we will be raising the tax rate on digital currencies to a maximum of 75%, applied retroactively, of course. As a result, an anonymous, "Darkcoin" seems to be gaining market share and the consensus seems to be that each "coin" will be worth more than $9 by the end of May. Help your fellow Americans by buying as soon as possible so we can eventually tax your profits and spread the wealth to those folks struggling at the moment in the pharmaceutical, finance, defence and security industries and perhaps to even create some more jobs in the public sector. If you buy now, you'll only pay about $1.60!

edit: added a couple more struggling industries

oops 

The bubble wasn't big enough for all that......made it shorter:

still looking for a short bubble caption

@Coins101...  Tooting my own horn... I still think mine was the funniest!! Did you miss it, or didnt like it ? yeah.. too big for a bubble...

All is fair in cryptos and comedy...

@janos666

 I'm not fueling a war, I love debate!

 Is Bitcoin the best and most technologically advanced coin? Is it the MOST used coin?

 While I trust your technical reasoning, you cannot deny real life implications. In real life, X11 kicks Scrypts ass in every aspect.
 ASIC resistance is another subject. Scrypt lost its train, X11 is just starting the trip.

 Computation aside, long live X11 and my active miner through summer, and prolonged life, less noise, less electrical cost.
 This may change in the future, but being the future, is only conjecture.

 Le fact du jour

 X11 marinated with DRK = more profit, less headache, win win win.

Well, raise the bounty for yourself. I added 50 DRK as a start and invited everyone to help out with this bounty.

Edit: Or better, name the price and we see if the community is willing to pay for it. I am.

In support of the Darkcoin community we're going to add 2 bounties to the list:

250DRK - A patch for NOMP
250DRK - A patch for P2Pool

To get the bounty you must provide the code and prove it works on testnet (Testnet currently is post-fork)

[splawik21]

Since I've started mining DRK I sleep very well and feel better in every meaning of this word.

I still have some issues around abandonment and some minor "daddy" issues, but other than that, I feel as though my life has turned a similar corner.

Yea me too. Complaints from the gf about noise and heat in the house are at an all-time low.

+1  Surely someone smart can step up and claim these juicy $500 bounties.

Yea, Darkcoin's x11 algo is the best.

[blajde]

Wow ! This coin is amazing and the X11 is even better ... Now i have cooler gpu and no problems ! Thank to devs

You do realize that cooler GPU means it's less effective to mine with a GPU and thus we practically waste our hardware resources, right...?

We have our relatively expensive hardware (with it's own price amortization over time) which is partially idle during X11 mining.

Of course, it's absolutely not a problem in practice if GPUs are still better than anything else available and every GPU miners have a very similar speed penalty (nobody can utilize the full raw power of his/her GPU better than others). But it's technically still inefficiency which is never good, only neutral at best.

So, instead of a feature, it's more like a bug which doesn't need to be fixed. It's not an improvement but a neutral thing with a possibility to become a negative thing.

Wow I'm amazed at this pure nonsense.

1 - Less GPU intensive != less effective
2 - Less GPU intensive = lower energy consumption, that's a better energy efficiency
3 - Less GPU intensive = "our relatively expensive hardware", like you said, lasts longer

You spend less on your electricity bill and you can keep your hardware longer, even resell it at a good price. What are you complaining about ?

 Haters gonna hate.

 X11 different perspective. Summertime heat not an issue. Less electric consumed. Less noise. Rig works 24/7 for weeks without a hick-up, prolonged lifespan etc.

 Winter. a Truly excellent virtually silent heater, that makes a profit.

 Ineffective? Inefficient? Neither. DRK get sent and get received without issue, 2.5 minutes flat. 100% effective and efficient.

 Optimised is the word you're looking for.

He's not a hater guys, relax. He just says that, obviously, if the GPU was processing full time it would not be consuming half the energy. CPUs for example don't have this less-heat-issue-at-full-load so, apparently, it's not the algo itself, but rather the GPU implementation of the algo.

Could it be improved? Perhaps, but then we'd all consume more energy. So as far as noone has a much better GPU miner we are all better off. The problems start with FPGAs and ASICs when the pressure for more optimized GPU miners will mount.

We'll have to see what nvidia can do with cuda too... perhaps cuda might be better suited to x11 than amd/opencl.

Yeah but he has to understand that when he says certain stuff he also indirectly says other stuff. His fundamental logic was flawed which we addressed. Some hubris was detected aswell.

Along the road there is this statement that he claimed that people believe without knowing anything about - neither question or care to look up.

Forgive me???

I simply stated a fact and a handful of stupid people instantly started a nonsense holly war to get me crossed.

If we are honest with each other, then I can say some people wrote some genuinely stupid things while trying to argue with my statement.
I decided to let it flow through and don't even try to wage a war against half of the forum. Partly because you can't win against stupidity and mainly because I didn't intend to undermine the DarkCoin topic with a pointless discussion.


But this post again... I can't help myself, I need to react.



My fundamental logic is straight.
These AMD GPUs which most of us are using for altcoin mining are very good in certain parallelized computation tasks but badly suck in some other tasks.

Scrypt is better suited for these GPUs than X11. Scrypt mining utilizes more raw power than X11 mining. Hence it's more effective to mine Scrypt with them. This is a pure fact.
These GPUs still hate context switching and hard to fully utilize with certain kind of tasks. Ask AMD if you don't believe me.
-> This has nothing to do with profitability. I never implied that!!! That's a completely different story.


I also clearly stated in my original post that this does not mean anything what you later tried to accuse me with.
That was all you. It all came from your mouths, not mine. And it was all stupid.


And I am still the clown here, re-accused with hubris.
You are just plain stupid. End of story. I don't know why I even.... Ok, I will finish this here...

the only flame fueling is the raging one inside you mate. Your logic != facts for starters. Learn some about perspectives and then get some outside your hubris world. Maybe you will learn to appreciate things more if you face them with a more positive approach. Calling people trolls and stupid doesn't rise your credibility. You still haven't given any facts for starters and "I didn't intend to undermine the DarkCoin topic with a pointless discussion." Well, you were the one starting it so I no, I don't follow your logic. Efficient means more than the one thing you see. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean other people are stupid, eeh?

Doge has their own nascar now fuuu.

Guys we need to sponsor something big

Doge's Nascar race did nothing to help the price..

If you want to advertising in that category(expensive), then having billboards for Darkcoin in Times Square would be great.

That looks perfect, especially since most people use phones and/or google, that should gauge their interest to find out what Darkcoin is after seeing that billboard. NYC alone has 9million people, with Manhattan/Times Square being the busiest area.

[fearcoka]

that billboard would be perfect!

A ton of tourists mostly. As well as the people who work in the area. Also a ton of theater goers.  If you live in New York, you tend to stay far away from times square. (Disclaimer: Long time resident) Most immediate impact would be the media hoping all over it. This sort of happened with this Venmo ad they had running in the subway. It was a picture of a guy with VENMO and a small blurb.

It turned into a miserable fail, however, the media was all over it. The media also jumped all over the joey harrington ad in times square(former football player promoted by Oregon? for the Heisman trophy). I think this is the most logical next step, get the media horny.

If drk supporters could hold instead of trying to dump to buy cheaper...that would be great. The price would mature much faster.

I like the idea of sponsoring a UFC fighter where Joe Rogan is announcing because Joe Rogan loves bitcoin and will talk about Darkcoin during the fight.
