Title: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: blastbob on May 08, 2013, 10:09:58 AM See official thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196)
Will update the infomation as questions come in Currently yacoin only allows mining through offical client, until someone hacks cgminer etc. Download: Source : https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin (https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin) Windows QT : https://mega.co.nz/#!UowEmZYS!AAK7DVwYoTqy96oTRzUaLCS0UMsAfosJiRQmBn1jzcA (https://mega.co.nz/#!UowEmZYS!AAK7DVwYoTqy96oTRzUaLCS0UMsAfosJiRQmBn1jzcA) How to start in windows: ( With Extra seed nodes ) Code: yacoin-qt.exe -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=76.115.8.101 -addnode=192.168.1.237 -addnode=54.217.249.235 -addnode=54.217.249.230 -addnode=54.217.249.229 -addnode=54.217.249.139 -addnode=54.217.249.230 (Optional/Problems) Control CPU usage: ( Add this to the command line above ) Code: -genproclimit=1 How to compile on linux with git source: (Command line only) Code: cd ~/ ; git clone https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin.git ; cd ~/yacoin/src ; make -j4 -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- ; mv yacoind ~/ ; rm -Rf ~/yacoin ; mkdir ~/.yacoin ; cd ~/ Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: zenrog on May 08, 2013, 10:12:11 AM Which program i need for this?
(w7) Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: champbronc2 on May 08, 2013, 10:18:10 AM For some reason I can't get any active connections with YAC.
I have used CNC, LTC, BTC, BQC wallets with no hassle so far. ANy ideas? Can't even sync my wallet. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: blastbob on May 08, 2013, 10:19:15 AM I had problems until i added a working -addnode also on my windows client.
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: champbronc2 on May 08, 2013, 10:24:33 AM So I opened CMD, and typed:
C:\*file-location*\yacoin-qt.exe -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=192.168.1.237 -addnode=54.217.249.235 -addnode=54.217.249.230 -addnode=54.217.249.229 -addnode=54.217.249.139 -addnode=54.217.249.230 And YACoin opened, but I'm still seeing 0 active connections.. Did I do it right? Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: Boelens on May 08, 2013, 10:26:34 AM I got the run thing from someone else and used one node, I got 8 active connections, does that mean it's mining?
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: bitdwarf on May 08, 2013, 10:41:23 AM I got the run thing from someone else and used one node, I got 8 active connections, does that mean it's mining? Go to Help menu, Debug window, select the tab Console, type gethashespersec in the bottom textbox. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: BBQCoinsFTW on May 08, 2013, 10:42:19 AM That's not true, cpuminer seems to work fine too.
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: blastbob on May 08, 2013, 10:45:07 AM That's not true, cpuminer seems to work fine too. Have you blocked with it yet? I am firing 150KH/s with it now.. no luck yet Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: champbronc2 on May 08, 2013, 10:46:21 AM With 41kHash /sec am I wasting my time even bothering? Also, how can I tell when I win something through the YAClient?
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: bitdwarf on May 08, 2013, 10:58:22 AM With 41kHash /sec am I wasting my time even bothering? Also, how can I tell when I win something through the YAClient? No, my i5 2500k gets 100-200 kHash/s. When you win a block it will show as a transaction pop-up labeled "Mining", then it'll show a clock in the transactions list if it's approved and it's being confirmed. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: Petr1fied on May 08, 2013, 11:02:42 AM With 41kHash /sec am I wasting my time even bothering? Most likely yes but you never know. You may get lucky. I started 3 computers on it (2 desktops and 1 laptop) and managed to find 2 blocks. nothing in the last hour and a half so I'm not wasting any further time on it. Quote Also, how can I tell when I win something through the YAClient? Well you may get mined notifications but chances are most of them will be orphans. You'll maybe get 1 in 10 notifications maturing if you're lucky. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: cryptocancer on May 08, 2013, 11:09:46 AM try appending arguments with...

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: blastbob on May 08, 2013, 11:36:27 AM CAN GPU MINING? You can only use their client for now until cudaminer, cgminer etc change their code for this coin. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: zenrog on May 08, 2013, 11:49:04 AM CAN GPU MINING?

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: wesjuhnl on May 08, 2013, 12:00:31 PM To see mhash you type gethashespersec in console on debug..
but is there a way to see it the whole time like you normally do in guiminer or cgminer ? Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: theking on May 08, 2013, 12:10:19 PM So I opened CMD, and typed: C:\*file-location*\yacoin-qt.exe -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=192.168.1.237 -addnode=54.217.249.235 -addnode=54.217.249.230 -addnode=54.217.249.229 -addnode=54.217.249.139 -addnode=54.217.249.230 And YACoin opened, but I'm still seeing 0 active connections.. Did I do it right? check the nodes in the list, some can be removed like 192.168 one and also the one ending 230 is a dup Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: gpudude on May 08, 2013, 12:36:45 PM by running that code does it start mining? Can't see a hash rate anywhere on screen - also the mining tab is not there either?
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: gpudude on May 08, 2013, 12:40:49 PM Thank you, very useful reply :)
Hash rate is 105,014 is that good bad? Can anyone predict coins/day on that hash? (Formula if anyone knows it) Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: gpudude on May 08, 2013, 12:47:07 PM strange, i encrypted the wallet now it appears that its not mining?????
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: sumantso on May 08, 2013, 12:53:14 PM I got the run thing from someone else and used one node, I got 8 active connections, does that mean it's mining? Go to Help menu, Debug window, select the tab Console, type gethashespersec in the bottom textbox. Getting 0; so I guess that the client is not mining? We don't need to set up a conf file or anything - right? Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: kelvinhsu on May 08, 2013, 12:55:29 PM strange, i encrypted the wallet now it appears that its not mining

"rcpallowip=192.168.0.10" add your laptop's IP there Oh and Port=7688 does nothing. you should mine on rpcport=8108 p.s. i wouldn't recommend mining on a laptop. Good Luck! Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: Tesla71 on May 08, 2013, 01:04:59 PM strange, i encrypted the wallet now it appears that its not mining I think thats the case with all wallets. If it is encrypted you need to unlock it first. (for PPC I am doing it with ppcoind, but for yac I haven't such on windows) so just don't encrypt Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: BBQCoinsFTW on May 08, 2013, 01:05:24 PM I managed to connect to my yacoind daemon using cpuminer, but it just sits like that. I have 1 rejected share.

it says rcpallowip it should say rpcallow ip RPC instead of RCP.

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: sumantso on May 08, 2013, 01:10:30 PM Now I am getting some khash - 12 to be precise :P
Anyhow, got 6 transactions, 4 of which actually showed up as mined and then turned to orphans - weird. I though orphaned blocks won't show up as transactions.

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: Harry_Styles on May 08, 2013, 01:44:45 PM Probably dumb question, just making sure. Do I need to do the yacoin.conf stuff? It seems to be working okay so far, just getting a lot of orphans.

I started yacoin wallet in mining mode, my cpu is at 97% so I'm pretty sure its mining, it even got an orphan, how cute. But I see nowhere to monitor the speed or to even see that it is mining.

You might have a super fast PC but your network sucks = less solved blocks verified (still some luck here) So basically if you're not caption crunch you're SOL? Getting orphans here as well. The problem is with a low difficulty, that makes the chance of 2 people finding a block at roughly the same time much higher. If the difficulty is high enough compared to the network hashrate, finding a new block should be a relatively rare event and 2 being found simultaneously almost impossible.

Just running the command reduces your hashrate. Ah I see. Well if my client is mining, should I be seeing stuff under transactions? Also it says it's only connected to 7-8 active connections, is that enough? You'll see stuff under the transactions tab after you've mined a block that wasn't an orphan. I suggest you use port forwarding to get more connections then 8. This will decrease latency to the netwerk and thus the amount of orphans mined. to check if you are hashing go to: help -> debug window -> console and type 'gethashespersec'. To check all the blocks you mined type in 'listtransactions'. -- Is there a reason the private IP `192.168.1.237 ` is in the command in the OP? Don't think it will do any harm and probably copy/paste error right?

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: bitdwarf on May 08, 2013, 10:59:48 PM One tip, if you are on Linux and want to leave the wallet mining at low intensity, you can use cpulimit.
So, for example, you launch the wallet with full cores, then run: Code: cpulimit -e yacoin-qt -l 99 & It will use a maximum of one core at 99%, shared among all the cores (on a quad-core, that's ~25% for each one). Note that you may have a cpulimit that doesn't allow values of 100 or above. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: afroman1131 on May 08, 2013, 11:04:09 PM I tried using the download link for the wallet however nothing happens, the download just sits at 100% and dosent actually download

Proportionally would need about 400 8-core opteron cpus to reach that rate. It is cost-effective to rent a cpu processing infrastructure (cluster) of those huge sizes to mine Yacoins? Or is there some other way today (no gpu mining yet) to mine Yacoins? Thanks. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: jimhsu on May 11, 2013, 02:11:03 AM There are in fact bored server admins with that many or more CPUs. And one could "easily" rent 800 x 2 Sandy Bridge xeons from amazon, though not cheaply ($100/hour or whereabouts?). So ... yea.
I would in fact do that, but I don't have that much spare change lying around. I suspect though at current difficulty and price you'd about break even or eke out a small profit. Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: EnJoyThis on May 11, 2013, 10:31:53 PM What does this all mean?

I made a step-by-step guide so other could do it too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201918.0 The people mining now likely own the infrastructure, have botnets, or have access to serious power (like graduate students at universities, probably) Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: pantehicon on May 12, 2013, 02:18:19 AM So no-one has ported the OpenCL kernels yet, or they're just keeping quiet about it?

Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: Joe_Bauers on May 17, 2013, 06:47:31 PM No. I recommend buying them on bter while they're still cheap.
Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: WindMaster on May 17, 2013, 06:48:23 PM still profitable mining YAC using EC2? Negative, it stopped being profitable mining with Amazon EC2 several days ago. That's when everyone opened up and dumped all their info on how to set up Amazon-hosted YAC mining clusters, after it was no longer possible to do so. Vycid went as far as posting a tutorial on how to do it. Currently, I think prices are teetering at the point where mining with clusters of (owned, not rented) Xeon servers is break-even to marginally profitable if you have cheap power. I intermittently still run between 20 and 30 servers with 2x Xeon E5450's as needed to test solo mining while I work on testing and improving the YACoin client. I have to throw quite a bit of hash power at it to solve blocks in a reasonable time for testing any changes to the code that might impact solo mining. For example, right now I have a bunch of servers running to test whether cpuminer correctly continues mining (solo, connecting to yacoind rather than a pool) across the scheduled changes in N without a restart.

Nice~ So I guess we'll only have publicly announced GPU miners for YAC after they are no longer profitable. :) Title: Re: [ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin Post by: leadnor on May 17, 2013, 08:26:16 PM Hey Dragon2nd.
