So, I attempted to mine Darkcoin with my CPU and joined a pool. I think have an Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1603, and it worked. I also attempted to use my GPU (AMD FirePro) and will be upgrading to the Nvidia GTX 660. see below So would this be profitable? Thx!

EDIT: Here are my real specs. Currently using ATI FirePro V (FireGL V), upgrading to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. Processor is Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5-1620 0 at 3.60 GHz.

If you started within the first 45 to 60 days when the coin started, you would have made a good profit margin. Mining now with gpu and/or cpu would be barely breaking even or at a lose, even with a Nvidia GTX 750ti/970/980 GPU.

Honestly I don't think you will even make 1 cent mining with that CPU.

Even with GPU mining DRK is not profitable.
