Title: yacoin orphaned blocks mining)
Post by: Rascal on May 09, 2013, 05:39:10 AM
Yacoin tested 3-4 hours on 24 xeon cores - three reports of the mined blocks, empty the list of transactions and a zero balance.

Strange, maybe just bad luck. I'm solo mining since about 08:00 GMT on a single i5-3570K CPU @ 3.4.
Using the stock client on Ubuntu. Got 8 blocks, 4 of them stale. The other 4 resulted in 132 Coins.
In yacoin.conf I added:

maxconnections=256

To spread the word (block) as fast as possible. I also configured my router to forward port 7688 to the PC. Most connections are incoming.

However difficulty has increased meanwhile and the last block was more than 6h ago (14:44 GMT). I keep it running.

Still only getting 8 connections in windows, I read that you need to change it in the source and compile it on linux for the change to work.

Woked here without to change the source. Only needed to set it in the config. I've constantly 40-70 connections established. However seems that there are always only 8 outgoing connections. The rest is incoming. So port forwarding on the router seems to be important.
