Summer is coming!  and and along with it, the heat of our machines will make it intolerable! All that bright sunshine will bring out the beast in anyone! Anyway, with the new season of Game of Thrones upon us, maybe we can start a fun meme thread. And while I'm at it, I'd like to introduce anyone who might be interested to our coin, Darkcoin. Evan Duffield, our developer, has created a truly unique coin. Starting off with the X-11 algorithm. He didn't know it at the time, but it turns out that hashing X-11 runs 30-40 percent cooler than script, and almost 3X as fast (that's important to know when you look at difficulty as it isn't as bad as it seems) So if the anonymity feature of Darksend from the wallet doesn't interest you.... If the very quick to respond Dark-Gravity-Wave (replacement for KGW) doesn't interest you.... If the ASIC resistance and fact that CPU mining is still viable despite having GPU miners as well doesn't interest you... And finally, if having an amazing developer with a ton of things up his sleeve and open to ideas isn't of interest to you... Maybe having your computers running 30 - 40% cooler will!?!?!?!?! Come check us out, we'd love to have you over! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0 |

Yes indeed, people will wait for Zerocoin if they want a coin with superior anonymity. This thread should be moved to Altcoins subforum, right ? |

Some report 30 to 50% lower temps with Darkcoin mining, check the main thread. You can ask there for the screenshots too.   |

Mining scrypt currency:  Mining DarkCoin:  What is more interesting is not the GPU temperature.. what really fell down were the VRM temperatures.. they went from 85-88C to about 54-55C.. This amazed me when I saw it first.. Pictures not showing up, and how 'bout a meme with that? LOL It's supposed to be a fun thread  |

You seem to like them though, since you post on every thread about Darkcoin.  |

Some countries have such crap summers that you might be glad of the heat from your computer. However, I can see this being a good selling point in countries where you can fry eggs on car bonnets in the summer.

That describes us! LOL, I just said "summer is coming to my daughter, and she groaned, LOL. Our house has no insulation, best we can get is shade but often it's better to get outside shade in 110 degrees, yuck! I hate summer! |

I found I got more sleep in a tent rather than in a house in those kind of temperatures! The bricks absorb the heat during the day, then release it at night, so it's like putting a heater on in your bedroom when it's 100 degrees. |

i havnt found a downside to darkcoin yet. you can get mad hashrates with overclocking your gpu because it runs so cool! takes a higher overclock why would you mine scrypt when you can mine x11 and have all the benefits of scrypt but without the heat, noise and electricity bill. darkcoin FTW |
