Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin (DarkSend) | No Premine | Runs 30% cooler than scryp
3) To echo other people. 30% cooler and more energy efficient that mining scrypt is a huge bonus also. More eco friendly, and saves miners money! I know I sure appreciate only pulling 500W at the wall, rather than 800-1000w I was pulling before.
Thanks again for your work! I'll send some coins your way.
It's more than that !!!!!!!
I'm runing 2 rigs with a total of 9 x R9 280X, it was pulling 2420W on SCRYPT mining.
Now it's only pulling 1180W and it's runnings 2 times cooler : so 50% economised !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it depends on how well your rig was optimized for scrypt mining before you switched to Dark. My three cards were pulling about 1000W at the walling mining scrypt out of the box, but then I used custom firmware, and undervolted my cards, this brought it down to about 800W, and cooler..... (Dark for me is 480W-510W)
BUT if you're using stock firmware, I would agree with 50% also!
Plus seeing a higher hashrate at 50% less power usage is always fun!
