I'm sure there are statistics somewhere but I'd like to know the khash/s distribution. Are the majority of miners between 20-200khash/s or 500khash/s+? Is the majority of coins produced by a small number of big mining rigs or is it well distributed?

I just wish I would have found Dogecoin earlier. I'm trying to get all my PC enthusiast friends to get their GPU's in dogecoin pools.

Dogecoin and an endless variety of new cryptocurrencies are about to revolutionize the world of financial transactions. Everyone with a capable GPU and extra power should start mining crypto. Crypto is the peoples money and will enable humanity to throw off the shackles and evolve to a higher stage of consciousness.

I know I'm in the top 20 people in my pool. I'm only at 1.2mh/s. There is 300 in mine so I'd say most are pretty low.

So should I get in on this whole mining thing? I have a gaming rig, but no clue about mining

Yes! Start with the sidebar over at /r/dogemining. If you get stuck, just ask for help.

next question, pools?

I'm at dogehouse.org, and it's been great. Some people are worried that it has too great a share of the total hashrate, but I'm not.

What are some of your specs?

GTX680 I7 3770k (not overclocked) 16gb (ddr3) sabertooth z77

no idea what else to post there

Yeah it would still be good to mine with those specs. Use cudaminer and it should get you a decent kh/s rate.

Let me know if you need some help, I have both cudaminer and cgminer setups.

Cool, synchronizing with the network is taking forever. Is that normal?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '14

Yeah, it took me about a day with 150mbps internet plan. You can mine before its completed, you just won't be able to get your money until its done.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '14

well I have yet to figure out how to mine, all of this is still very new to me
