which cpu miner is recommended these days? still yam m7v?

tia

Let's ignore DarkCoin. They are not interested in information exchange, cryptocurrency scene related discussions or debates. Most of the regular, loud, rude posters have no technically understanding and choosen to strictly deny any word that doesnt fit their collective religious opinion about DarkCoin.

A big part of them is driven by greed (e.g. MN owners, they dream about becoming bitcoin-rich with darkcoin).

These DarkCoin people are not really interested in Crypto Currency or privacy. They just want to get rich, by following their messias Evan. So they are ok with everything he did and is going to do. No matter how questionable it was/is. Like in a sect with a guru.

They don't know or care about any ideals and principals, that cryptocurrency origins of and all early scene members and founders stood for.
They have no interest in technology or building an sustainable eco-system. They just want to get rich and leave.

They are no true cryptocurrency supporters or even regular scene members. Just randoms kids, the Bitcoin boom attracted them. (E.g. Like the poker boom once attracted millions of the new players to online poker.) They dont wan't to and intellectualy can't contribute to the scene or even their own coin.

They live their dreams of a golden future, given to them by the holy Evan. They even would be ok with Evan working for the NSA, because they dont share our believes.

It's a waste of time talking with them, nothing can result from it.
They are out of touch with reality, like hardcore taliban or tea party members in the USA.
1.) they are explicitly don't listen and are proud of it 2.) their project isnt an community project with community participation in decision making, they see no value in community discussion about technology, development roadmap or strategy, because they have no influence in them
(they know very well that their opinion won't matter and Evan alone is deciding everything in the project)

There are enough coin-neutral altcoin people, general cryptocurrency experts and some of us may even know some Darkcoin people in private, that are ok. We can discuss with them about DarkCoin.

 

I agree with you.  By arguing with them all we really do is bump their thread to the top and increase it's number of pages both of which directly benefit the scam many here are trying to stop.  Newbies come and could potentially see the number of posts as an endorsement.

Debating with them using logic is akin to arguing with your bedroom wall.

There are a few members there who answered my questions diligently because I was genuinely interested in certain aspects of their architecture but those are far and few in between.

I'm posting this here instead of on the Monero forum, as I believe it to be more relevant to those on Bitcointalk.

There seems to be some consternation coming from the Darkcoin camp as a reaction to smooth and myself having been quite outspoken on the subject recently. My analysis on Reddit, given in response to a request for technical commentary, seems to have particularly incensed them. Darkcoiners have responded by calling me "absolutely disgraceful", "low class...trailer park behavior...fudster", "extremely unprofessional...classless", "a classic slacker", and my personal favourite, "a faggot monero troll/ shill".

So why do we do it? Why bother saying anything? Why not just keep our head down?

Well, this situation reminds me of gmaxwell pointing out the major consensus flaws in Ripple/Stellar (like a year-and-a-half before the Stellar consensus state split in December, 2014), and I'd like to quote him directly from that thread, as it really echoes what I am feeling and thinking right now:


I cannot describe it better than gmaxwell has. I really hope that Darkcoin abandons its broken architecture and ideas sooner rather than later, not for their sake, but for ours...because their failure is harmful to all of us.

I don't post a lot here, but it just occurred to me, if Dash is flawed, why hasn't it been attacked and it's flaws been exposed ? Or has it ?

Thanks for the bump I didn't see the edits.

The minimum anti spam fee threshold will certainly be lowered and some point (and can probably be made automatic), and isn't intended to set the actual fee that is paid. I think Bitcoin sets the anti-spam fee 0.00001 and the typical fees are higher. The actual fees paid are set by a market between miners and users.


The potential (theoretically at least) is for malicious miners to spam the network since they are aren't deterred by a fee they pay to themselves, and aren't limited by a maximum block size as in Bitcoin.


At least reasonable sizing. I don't know that optimal sizing is so easy to even define.


Sure. If you are a miner you aren't going to want to make a block so big that it propagates slowly and has a high risk of being orphaned.

This bridge was just fine for five months. Then it wasn't.

Dinosaurs roamed the earth for 135 million years. (By contrast humans have been here for a million or so.) Then they didn't.

etc.

See why your argument doesn't quite work?

Just because. Let's consider this argument a bit, shall we. If someone wasn't already interested in DRK before, according to you they can't become interested, or need to justify that? How do you ever attract new users? Or is it okay to attract new users but not new critics?


Perhaps instead we should discuss Darkcoin on our own hosted forum and delete the "false claims, lies and biased opinions" any Darkcoin supporters might post in response?

Do you see why a neutral forum where the forum host doesn't get to define what constitutes "false claims, lies and biased opinions" according to their narrative might be preferred?


I don't think anyone asked you but why are you comparing to other CN coins. Which of those is relevant today?


Trustless privacy. No enormous instamine faciliated with deceptive statements by the developer. No repeated tinkering with the monetary parameters. Not being mutated into a proof-of-stake system. Not being pitched as a high yield investment scheme. Probably some other things I didn't think of in 30 seconds.

You answered your own question. YAM M7V is the miner I run, with the exact same CPU as yours.
(YAM version 8 is less stable and slower on my particular machine and OS, so I stick with m7v)

Depends what you mean by best. If you want optimized hash rate and pool mining, then sure YAM is fine. If you want to support the network and don't really care about direct return (and let's be honest unless you are using a lot of equipment it will be very small either way) then you should just solo mine in the daemon. That's what I do.
