One odd thing I noticed is that in my pools it may say something like my hash should get 25-30 DRK/Day, yet my actual DRK received is much less than that. I am new to this sort of thing, so am I reading that wrong? Although with this recent change, I do see more coins coming in now... so maybe it will catch up somewhat.
ha ha! I have just asked all these questions tonight!! go back 3/4 pages back
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5066892#msg5066892The numbers simply being way off is certainly an explanation I considered. I would have thought they wouldn't be quite as off as they are though.
The guide for DRK coin is the easiest way to go for this, and pair it up with Putty, and it's really easy to do. I tried quark/frozen/doge on a different cloud service as a trial, and the payouts were really, really lousy. I just started up Azure/DRK last night, and it does appear to be chugging along somewhat nicely now -- won't get a ton out of it, but for free, why not? I'm curious if there are other freebie cloud services to try. I did try signing up for 2 others (HP, Joyent) ... but had issues with each.
There is also Riecoin coming out tomorrow, which may be good to point some cloudmining at, since it's a cpu coin -- although I am not aware of a guide for it.
