Also, there was a way to "bounce" the difficulty in KGW by blasting it with hash power, then dropping off suddenly. DGW uses a pendulum/wave-like algorithm to oscillate the difficulty in a given range without the massive swings that can happen with KGW.

Things should be all fixed now... I somehow started running a 32 bit version of Ubuntu, and that's where the error was.

Update: a bug has been found in the DGW code, and it can cause orphan blocks... Even is working on it right now - I've switched the server back to the older machine which doesn't appear to be affected. Mining continues at stratum+tcp://darkcoin.kicks-ass.net:7903

LOL... I couldn't sleep... I changed it over already :) Enjoy the speed of a Xeon instead of an i5 :)

No worries... I'm running the replacement node right now (although it isn't reachable) so that it will be a quick transition. You won't lose anything if you want to start mining again. I won't make the switch for until 1200 EST tomorrow.

I'm going to take the pool down for a few minutes on Saturday to transition to a more robust server. Is there a time that works best for you? I anticipate a very fast transition, so you might not notice anything more than a single stratum interrupt, but you never know.

Alas, is it any better to hand it over to a corporation? ICANN did a pretty good job keeping the lights on - and I hope the plan is to hand it over to a non-profit. Can you imagine Time Warner running the internet here? And you are right about the current administration. :( For all the hype...

I mine a bit on lotterymining as well - I've never won the lottery, but it's a cool idea.

email coming your way

But with a catchy name like that, what could go wrong? o_O I usually put cyanogenmod on my phone... Funny, I got lazy with my current phone, I guess.

Here's what I mean about the increasing shares: You can see how your reward is increasing with the amount of time you spend in the pool in the second chart.

Yes, it's because P2Pool basically builds a faster blockchain then tries to see if one of the blocks "solves" the next block in the real blockchain. This is probably a really over-simplified explanation. I'm guessing you are putting about 14MH into it? You should see your rewards increasing...

Ah, AO... That was a fun, if slightly odd, game.... Is it still running?

There were some ideas thrown around about possibly being able to send either DRK or BTC form the wallet... a sort of self-fulfilling exchange. It would be interesting to see how that worked. It would be decentralized in a real way... It might also be complete chaos, but :)

You are right... It's not deleted, tho... Just not searchable online. As long as I (or someone ) periodically updates it, it will stay alive until we can reinforce it with some more respectable references.

Here is what I got back from wikipedia. I"m not surprised... we really don't have many sources outside our own community. This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's...

I wonder who is behind this, and what sort of fees... It wouldn't surprise me if the Emiratis are actually funding this. Let's pray for success here, because then it can become a proof of concept. It makes sense that bitcoin would be the first coin, as it is the biggest.

Mintpal seems nice... I'm glad I pulled 99% of my coins from poloniex to cryptsy before the poloniex hack...

I've looked into it, too... It seems like most of the wallets use a "lite" version that doesn't actually track the blockchain itself, but synchronizes with ... something else. Coinbase obviously synchs with the coinbase wallet... I think there are about 20 different wallets in the play store but...

Hmmm... that might be a really interesting experiment. Imagine a country that actually switched to bitcoin. It would save the government a ton of money ... they would no longer have to print money, track it, bank it...
