thank you again.

i added the" pause".
the note pad still flashes on the screen for about a half second. not long enough to read.
the directions did not say anything about a pool. how do i incorporate this?
 
Well let's try to sum up:
1 - Open notepad and paste
minerd-corei7-avx.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://144.132.128.29:7903 -u XrDx5xXQpzFExZuVZaG3ogtM83poV9x4gM -p x --quiet
pause
The stratum+tcp//144.132.128.29:7903 refers to an IP address, which one? Or are you mining solo?

2 - Save the txt file in the minerd folder as "thenameyouwant.bat"

3 - Double click on the .bat file

4 - Report any error, if any
 
minerd-corei7-avx.exe -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://144.132.128.29:7903 -u XrDx5xXQpzFExZuVZaG3ogtM83poV9x4gM -p x pause
 
No you are not solo, I can't open the link but I guess you are on a P2P pool.
Try to remove the --quiet instruction from the bat file
 
Hi guys i am new to DarkCoin and i am trying to set it up.My .bat file is:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -c config.conf
My .conf file is:
Code:
{
"pools" : [
    {
        "url" : "stratum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333",
        "user" : "fileto.xxxx",
        "pass" : "password"
    }
]

I started mining but i noticed very LOW "WU" i was mining litecoin before and i knew it had to be as much as possible? Is this wrong? Here is screenshot:

and in the tutorial i saw that there is a way to send mined coins directly to the wallet? How that happpens? In your example i saw that you put your address in the -u(username field), if i put it there in the .conf file would it work?and for the password? which password,for the worker or for login to the pool? Oh,and when my mine DarkCoins get confirmed? I have around 0.3 now and they are all Uncofrimed.
Thanks and sorry for the LONG post.

The Work Utility is quite different from scrypt coins. You get 1 work utility every 76.1 mhash/s, so take your average speed and divide it by 71.6, you will see that 0.034 is correct.
You can send coins to your wallet if you mine on a p2p pool, where user is your wallet address. The password depends on the pool you've chosen, if you are registered then you have to set-up a worker (at least it's the way of working on the official pool).

For unconfirmed coins wait 24 hours, if they have not been confirmed yet, write a post to the pool administrator.

good to know about WU. cheers
 
so i followed what you said .. it works fine as of now .. but in the part where the 'u' and 'p' need to come while editing the code and making a bat file ... do i need to out something there or just leave it as U and P ??

also , ive been mining for about 24hrs now ( both CPU and GPU ) with total hash rate of almost 550 and i don't see anything in my wallet :'( Whats wrong ?
 
and which pool shall I join .. this is related to 'worker' concept right or what ?

more details on this U and P thing please ? :)
 
Im a total noob to mining so im going to try using this guide on my GTX 780 Ti and seeing what happens :) Thanks in advance haha.
