Thanks for the hint, @UdjinM6. Can you tell me how to mine DarkCoin on Linux, please?

from dash.

@SecUpwN Check out https://darkcointalk.org I don't know why you are asking these type of questions on Github?

from dash.

@Propulsions, I'm asking here because I'm currently not able to register anywhere else. Furthermore, I like to be clear of the very basics before jumping right into something. Hence, I'd be very thankful if you would at least tell me how to mine DarkCoin on my openSUSE box. Thanks ahead!

Check this and use the sph-sgminer insteard: http://askubuntu.com/questions/434591/mining-cryptocurrencies-with-ubuntu-and-sgminer

from dash.

Thanks for your recommendation, @gotqn. What makes sph-sgminer stand our among all the others?

from dash.

Open your darkcoin-qt go to help->Debug window->console type in setgenerate true 1

from dash.

@chris200x9, will this automatically mine DarkCoin through darkcoin-qt without having to install any other additional software? If so, where to see how many DarkCoins have been mined by darkcoin-qt?

from dash.

Yes nothing else is needed as blocks are found the coins will automatically show up in your wallet, enjoy.

You are AWESOME - thank you so much, @chris200x9! If DarkCoins are so easy to generate I will fire up my computer tonight to start mining. Would you please elaborate on what the value 1 stands for?

UPDATE: I've ran my PC for several hours now, but could still not mine anything.
In the debug log, there are numerous error messages of the following type:

Is this the cause why nothing gets mined? What's the solution here?

from dash.

Dude, this is what you need to do:

1. Install Ubuntu
2. Install GPU drivers
3. Install sgminer
4. Make registration in darkcoin pool
5. Depending on your GPUs create appropriate config file for mining
6. Start mining

After this, you can install a wallet :- ) and I will recommend to watch this video in order to get a base idea of how mining is done:

Thanks, @gotqn. Do I really have to register? Isn't there a way to mine without registering?

from dash.

P2Pool works without registration http://q30.qhor.net:7903/
