BTW, it's so irritating!  I earned 0.01 btc not long ago, and I opened my bitcoin wallet (so I can send it to mintpal and buy dark, LOL) and it's been updating from 6 weeks behind for the past hour and a half.  I have a quick connection, but it always takes forever to update the blockchain!  And I can't have it running on my windows box because it just hogs up resources all the time.  I don't see how anyone can use bitcoin, it's a slug and the depth to which it sucks just cant' be expressed!  Over an hour and a half and I'm at 4 weeks behind!  Geepers!

Not only does it take forever, it also uses a hell lot of CPU to do the syncing. (check your task manager)

That's why I never have it running.  What the heck is it with the bitcoin wallet anyway?  What's different about DRK wallet (that it isnt' even noticeable when it's running?)  Anyway, I'm going to bed, it's going to take 5-6 more hours from what I can see, screw that, I'm getting some zzzz's  I bet the price will be up when I am ready to buy, ROFL

Just use MultiBit client 

What's that?  I'm serious when I say I never leave the drk thread, LOL.  I hate it out there, don't even want to know what's going on, thank you, LOL.  I rely on all of you to keep me up to date on important things   (oh, except I usually go vote on coins101's polls, LOL)

Exactly I`ve received a tip recently in btc, used bitcoin-qt OMG! switched to multibit... in seconds was synchronised

[dark-sailor]

Don't panic people I see this with litecoin went all the way down before it shot right back up again. Just whales causing panic to get your coin don't fool for it.

What are you talking about? Litecoin has done nothing but go down and stay down:

Sorry my fault I was in early with litecoinl. It was in October last year

Well, it's been here for quite a while already
https://multibit.org/
https://github.com/jim618/multibit
It's also mentioned here https://darkcointalk.org/threads/call-for-devs-software-adoption.2195/

And DOGE has MultiDoge, btw - was one of the reasons of previous DOGE rise (first scrypt coin to have light wallet - wider adoption)
I wish we had MultiDark someday...
EDIT: Darkcoin has perfect infrastructure (MNs) to keep full blockchain to let users use light clients mostly

[splawik21]

We have good wallet synchro respect the others but multidrk would make it even much faster indeed.

[pbleak]

It is very normal in trading for people to lose lots of money during brief volatile periods. Traders doing this daily will often just accept this and move on. With DRK's stately pace some of you guys would die of a heart attack on the first day  

[pbleak]

Also there has been marketing of DRKcoin. The current situation is surely linked to people just watching to see.

Once we go Bull mode.. No one stops this train...
Hitting 0.01btc again may get us a lot of attention.. With only a bit of buy pressure we gain a lot of value.

Ouch !

I just looked at my bank statements for the last 4 months and Amazon have docked me nearly £150 (about $230) for my masternode server when I thought I was on the "free tier" ?

Moreover the billing history on my Amazon EC2 account totally doesn't correspond to what they've charged to my bank account - the charges are much more.

w.t.f. 's going on ? The chargable's seem to be "0.020 per On Demand Linux t1.micro Instance Hour" which was all on the "free tier" ?

I just feel like shutting down the account because I've got no clue how to tell if the services I'm consuming attract any charge or not.

Can anyone throw any light on this ?

just no fresh money
how could the price rise ...
even if all would hodl the bot would make the price drop
back to 0,0058 ...

I reached out to the official Twitter page of the Snowden website to open up Darkcoin payments :

Lets see if we get response

We need exchanges that start tying altcoin trading to DRK.
We need DRK to become a denominator.
NMC/DRK, LTC/DRK, DOGE/DRK, XMR/DRK, PPC/DRK, etc... no matter what altcoin it is (everybody is welcome), enabling/sharing their liquidity will boost DRK price by a tenfold.

It's the single most important reason why LTC has such an insane volume and still an unreasonably (IMHO) high price.

mintpal, cryptsy etc all have LTC Markets... why don't they have DRK Markets too?

Altought I agree I think this'll come around to needing better adoption and a bit less volatility.
Shapeshift.io just made a great start by adding DRK, DOGE and PPC tho

UPDATE: The marketing firm CEO that followed me yesterday has reached out for me to contact him. His Linked-In account states he is also into startups, so that's pretty exciting. Stay tuned!

Sorry to break up all this price, dumping talk.

We have a lot of very delusional crazies here.

The biggest problem of DRK - and all other altcoins - is the obvious lack of liquidity.
The crazies here brag and moan about the wild swings of the price.
Indeed it only means someone is using the coin.
A single transaction of a couple of 100.000 $ will let the price swing in the means of 30-40%.

This is why your beloved coin, no matter how advanced the software might be, is pretty useless as a currency.
To create a usable financial instrument it is vital to provide liquidity.
If you can't do that, you're practically DOA.
Theres no fix for that, harsh reality sucks.
Neither for DRK, nor for any other altcoin.

The way it is done thru the "markets" is a total failure.
It only ever means that a lot of capital ends up in the wrong pockets, in a total rigged shell game.
And it does nothing to provide liquidity.

I like your sig flipme! I see your a fan of the Dead or at least in the man who wrote some great tunes with Bob Weir. Nice

Nice read. Interview with Evan:

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/darkcoin-2-0-open-source-interview-darkcoins-duffield/

We have some other secret projects we are not ready to reveal yet but we have created a very solid foundation to continue to innovate at a very accelerated pace.

Could be, I suppose, but if it is fake, it's a pretty good fake one. It does sound like something that would be advertised by someone who lacks a clue on details of miners.

Are you saying that any algorithm and combination of algorithms can be parallelized and optimized to use 100% your GPU?

Any? No, of course not. Look at CryptoNight, XMR's PoW, for example. Running that one 100% on any current GPU would be a really neat trick - seeing as memory accesses are going to just kill your GPU usage per thread. Normally, what you do in that circumstance is just run an asston of threads until you're using a decent amount of the compute capabilities... but you can't do that with CN. Why? Because each hash requires 2MiB of scratchpad, you are gonna run outta memory LONG before you run outta compute capability. So, it's a dog on GPUs and is going to be for the forseeable future, I think.

X11? No, you don't have that excuse - not even close. Yes, it uses memory, but the amount is TINY. We're talking MINISCULE levels compared to CN, and as a matter of fact, it can be reduced by (don't quote me, this is a rather rough estimate since I'm not counting bytes) probably half. This means that you're already going to run out of compute capabilities a LONG ASS TIME before you even think you might be low on memory. And even if that weren't the case - several parts of X11 can have their memory usage VASTLY reduced if you're willing to trade memory access for computations. In the current situation (being that compute capability is our bottleneck) that still is sometimes a good idea, but sometimes not. Since a LOT of memory usage and accesses can be removed from the current X11 kernel for almost no hit when it comes to computation, increasing overall speed, that makes it even less likely you'd be limited by memory.

So, no. SOME algorithms are always gonna be dogs on GPUs as far as I can tell - using very little of its power. X11 is not one of them.

By the way, combinations of algorithms are probably gonna be a LOT easier to parallelize. Why? You can do them in any order - so if one hogs memory and the other hogs compute, run them in parallel. Now, before you say I'm retarded and X11 must be done in order (which would be correct, the latter part) - consider that you are doing the same thing over and over. If I run one hash, then start another thread later, I could conceivably, by running two completely different X11 hashes at the same time on the same GPU, work it out so that they aren't synced. What I mean by that is, while thread 0 is running the first, I could have thread 1 running the fifth. By doing this, it could be possible to use more compute, if memory access were a bottleneck. (Again, it isn't.)

You're missing the whole point of distributed mining.

IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER whether you get 2MH or 6MH or 657MH, as long as everyone else is getting about the same.

Total hash is irrelevant, DISTRIBUTION of it matters.
