Don't expect DRK wealth ;) It took MangledBlue about two weeks ( and that was real lucky!) to get paid that block in July. The point here is that if everybody spared a bit of CPU time for solo mining (especially seeing that the functionality is already built in!) then we would see greater...

For reference -1 will use 100% of your spare CPU load. When I run it with 1 or 2 it uses about 14% to 25% CPU load on my PC. Will obviously vary according to your PC or Mac

Because that block was paid on 12th July. No, any CPU can do it. The focus should not be on earning coins. CPU mining does very occasionally pay (I believe that it took two weeks for that payment to happen) but the focus shouldn't be on making money but sparing a little CPU time for network...

Prove it! :cool: Seriously...doesnt this simple "opt in" improve hash distribution?

To be clear...it is very unlikely to earn you any coins. You'd have to be real lucky. It just seems like madness not to give walllet users the option.

Already hidden inside out QT wallets is an old remnant from the early days of Bitcoin and Litecoin (given that Darkcoin is a fork from Litecoin). With the simple console command "setgenerate true n" a wallet can solo CPU mine at a rate set by the value n...

Hence why we should do what MangledBlue is proposing...ultimate accessibility!

69KHps is not much but multiply it by a few thousand geographically diverse nodes....

I agree. eduffield Is this a feature that would improve hash distribution? This is not a suggestion that "setgenerate true x" will mine many (if any) coins, but a voluntary way that people can contribute with the small chance they will get a nice 4.8DRK surprise. From the testing i have...

I'd like to hear some dev team responses to some of the ideas we have come up with. I still want to see the golden three happen while Evan works on the masternode changes and IP Obsufucawhatever thing though 1) Enforce 2) Market 3) Distribute/improve mining conditions.

So MangledBlue's idea to put a tick box in the next version of the QT to enable "setgenererate true n" is something worth pursuing? That would distribute hugely. And every now and then, you might get a handful of coins out of it :)

That, Sir (I assume Sir from your avatar), makes sense.

If you're not using the CPU at 100% util you aren't wasting power. Maybe thats a feature that could be considered for a future daemon though. I've been doing some benchmarking on a C3.XLarge and CPU mining is affecting the performance of the darkcoind instances on there quite badly. AWS is...

This is revolutionary speak right here! This would essentially create a masternode server arms race. I don't like the idea one bit. I understand the ideology but not the practicality. Why not have both? Anybody can CPU or GPU(with the correct server) mine on their masternodes right now...

One way or another I can't see a future without mining of some sort. Whether that be people donating idle CPU time or professional mining operations and any combination thereof. It just doesn't seem right that the masternodes should be able to generate the coins for which they facilitate anon...

Just my three duffs: 1) Enforce masternode payments to look after the masternode owners. Until RC5, some of us were running at a loss due to the awful payment variance. 2) Invest more time into attracting new investment and publicity. We need adoption. Small steps... 3) Look into...

And what if that removes too many coins from the marketplace?

If anybody is in doubt, why not look at their bill from last month and run it through the calculator to see what it would cost on a T2.medium?

To put it another way, $55 is somewhat lost in my total monthly AWS bill. I've got a lot going on at the moment :D

Probably, yes! It is quite hard for me to be exact about data usage as I have lots going on in AWS. I wish I could be definitive but I can't be any more definitive than telling you the few facts that I know and pointing you towards the AWS calculator.
