Title: Mine YAC on gpu :)
Post by: tytanick on May 13, 2013, 10:14:45 AM
Hi,
Is there anybody that could tell me how to mine YAC on gpu ?
Ofcourse if u say so i wont tell anyone else.

PM ME :P

P.S - Dont troll me pls :DDD

Add a - and a | to the C in CPU and you'll get a GPU that can mine YAC!

Kidding :P

you cant atm...

yac uses scrypt-jane, and is/was designed to be cpu mined only..

If you could, it would be the end of yac, as its core ethos would be pointless

do you realise that this doesn't make sense?

in what way...

ill quote from yacoin site :-

guarantee long-term protection against GPU and ASIC mining

If you think a GPU miner can't be coded for it, you're mistaken.  Both chacha20 and keccak have faster throughputs than salsa20 and sha2-256, and the value of N right now should provide extremely good GPU performance.

Basically the first person to get a large GPU mining farm on this will shred the network -- assuming this hasn't already been done.

then yac is dead, as thats the whole point......
"Long-term safety from GPU and ASIC mining"
"CPU-only proff-of-work"

Except N will change _tomorrow_ and then what?

Doesn't matter -- because of the TMTO tradeoff and higher GPU memory bandwidth I doubt you'll see a point where GPU implementation is slower.  Once you have the GPU implementation adjusting it for higher N values will be trivial.

GPU mining only made Litecoin stronger. I don't see why the same wouldn't happen to YAC. I'm really surprised someone  hasn't already released something. But to the OP's original request, I can almost guarantee that someone is already mining YAC with GPU's.
