Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | Anonymous (alpha) | KGW | No Premine

I must say I started mining this coin yesterday and everything runs 50% plus cooler. I need to get my killawatt out and see the draw compared to a normal scrypt coin. So far I love it!

Thanks Devs

I also put few of my card to mine this coin and it's true that cards run a lot cooler.
Please post results from that killawatt reader.

Ok here are the results. This miner is a 4x270

Normal Coin: 887 - 892
Darkcoin: 550-552

If someone has better setting for the r9 270 let me know

thanks

That's a huge difference on my power bill

That's a big difference. What intensity are you using and how much coin per day per card does it generate?

I 18
Threads 15232

I am currently pulling in about 4.5-5 coins per card a day.

I think I'll get less than 4.5DRK per 270x, but they are still running hot, almost 80C. That's with 1.2Mh/s on each card.

Can you write your settings gpu/mem for 270x , also intensity and lookup-gap in bat file?

Here are my settings in the bat file

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u worker.b4 -p x --no-submit-stale -I 19 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 16000 --lookup-gap 0 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1450 --gpu-powertune 2 --gpu-fan 80

My temps are at 53-57 and each card gets 1.214Mh/s

They are the r9 290X. I also have the r9 290 gigabytes in my others miners and they are also running much cooler.

Overall this is good news for me anyway, as of right now I am saving close to $3 a day in power.
