Unfortunately so does that hashrate, which makes for some wider variances and more reliance on luck especially when mining DRK. ~500Mh/s isn't ideal to mine DRK so sometimes it can take are few rounds during a shift to pull a DRK block. Not so much of a problem with the other coins being mined. But all around, the hashrate went down for a while. SHA coins seem to be getting less and less profitable as well.

More hash, more consistant payouts.

Happy holidays to you and everyone in this forum .. i'm looking forward to 2015

Very professional article and I agree definitely timely  

Providence is with us my friends because we are the very heart of providence itself. Whatever happens one thing is for sure: Darkcoin (D)

Merry christmas to you coins101 and to all! Many cheers as we approach 2015, the year of Darkcoin.

In this time of pleasure with family and friends, I send many thanks and love out to Evan, Holger, Tao, Vertoe, Propulsion, the new developers, the foundation board and members, linguistics team, marketing and business team, everybody! And everyone else that helps make Darkcoin so special!

Together we achieve great things and I can't wait to see what we achieve in 2015! It gives me the greatest honour to be part of this and to say, thank you Darkcoin!

merry Christmas fellow dark bastards (if you celebrate Christmas). May many masternode payments rain down upon you.

A cautionary tale in direct betting:  In what I can only describe as a liquor-fueled attempt at obtaining a masternode, I rolled the dice.  A single roll, masternode or nothing.  50% odds and unsurprisingly, I lost.  left without a single Duff to my name, 500Drks gone.  To those of you who have contemplated the same, I implore you: don't. exit out of your client before taking that shot of whisky and take solace in the fact that you are much smarter than me.  The sting of defeat is far more impactful than the triumph of any attained victory.  Those long hours spent wasting away in overtime, time that could have been better spent with my family, all for naught.  In a moment of rage, I deleted my wallet, swearing off Drk.  I've since vowed to never bet again and will work tirelessly to regain what was lost even if somewhat unattainable.  If anyone is feeling the holiday spirit and would like to throw a few duffs my way, XxHiawGAwtjrY845SUAHXKzFzKH83u5ALU.  Conversely, if anyone would like to offer ridicule instead, I fucking deserve it.

pls check both the second masternodes DRK addres and the addres from which you sent it here : http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/Darkcoin


if second masternode addres shows the 1000 DRK there but yr wallet doesnt then do a -reindex on yr second MN wallet
if the 1000 DRK are still in the sent-from wallet acc block explorer but perhaps not getting confirmed then do a -zapwallettxes on yr sent-from wallet.

* With a new masternode wallet its important to first sent 1 drk to test the wallet, see if it arrives there correctly and then do the full 1000 DRK
* Make backups right after creating new wallets

let me know what you find..

edit : also make sure that the wallet.dat in yr datadirectory is named exactly as mentioned in yr shortcut :

example 1 : yr shortcut mentions -wallet=test.dat then your wallet.dat should also be renamed to test.dat in the specified datadirectory
example 2 : yr shortcut mentions -wallet=readme then your wallet.dat should also be renamed to readme in the specified datadirectory

Hello Darkcoin miners!

WePayBTC multi-algorithm multipool is proud to announce the launch of WePayDRK.com multipool with Darkcoin payouts.

* We offer predictable payouts in Darkcoin. Our pool works with “Pay Per Speed” scheme (similar to “Pay Per Share”, but adopted for multialgorithm pools). So you know how much you’re going to earn today before even starting to mine.
* Our mining software automatically switches not only to the most profitable coin, but also to the most profitable algorithm. Five algorithms (X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Qubit) are supported currently. The additional flexibility of switching algorithm on the fly gives miners extra profit.
* Our mining software is manually tweaked for the best performance possible. You no longer need to tweak various parameters and install different versions of AMD drivers. Everything works straight out of the box and it works fast!
* We have five geographically distributed stratum pools (San Francisco, New York, Singapore, Amsterdam and London) for lowest latency and extra stability.
* This is a sister site of WePayBTC.com (Bitcoin payouts)
* We have a dedicated support portal
* We perform payouts 3 times per day
* We support all AMD videocards! See the full list of supported hardware here. Notice: NVidia and CPU miners are not supported.

Some rough estimates on payouts (stock frequencies, no overclocking):
0.1571 DRK in 24 hours for AMD R9 290
0.1303 DRK in 24 hours for AMD R9 280X 7970
0.0943 DRK in 24 hours for AMD 7950

Join us! See the quick start guide.

Thank you,
WePayDRK WePayBTC

Previous post was deleted by moderator. If you are planning to do this again, please at least explain why.
After all, mining other coins and buying DRK on exchanges to pay miners should be good for Darkcoin community...

Another question:  How does one enable Darksend in their wallet?  Do I need to anonymize some coins between the 2 wallets?  Thanks
