My YACs are hungry for Coin Payments.

Haven't done the calculation in a while, would be nice to see how they compare currently. I'll compare profitability of mining YAC vs LTC on a 7950 with current prices/difficulty.

The magic value is 65546. It takes 65546 hashes to find a share of difficulty 1 (and therefore 65546*32 hashes to find a share of diff 32). Also cgminer reports the network difficulty as difficulty*65546.

LTC mining on a 7950 - Difficulty: 969 - Block Reward: 50 - Value: 0.02088 BTC/LTC

650 KH/s/(65.546 kH/share) = 9.92 shares/s (of difficulty 1)
blocks/s = (shares/s)/(difficulty*65546)
blocks/s = 9.92 shares/s/(969*65546)
= 1.56*10^-7 blocks/s = 0.01349 blocks/day
(0.01349 blocks/day)*(50 LTC/block) = 0.6747 LTC/day
= 0.0141 BTC/day

YAC mining on a 7950 - Difficulty: 0.109 - Block Reward: 36.12 - Value: 0.00008011 BTC/YAC

36 kH/s = 0.549 shares/s = 6.642 blocks/day = 239.9 YAC/day
= 0.01921 BTC/day

Well isn't that interesting, YAC wins. Redirecting the horses...

Nice, I love it

That depends on your set up. For a 7950, you can currently get 36 kh/s, that's less profitable than LTC. Probably beats BTC though.

Yeah, now that it's on Coinchoose, the profitability of mining ZET will always be about the same as mining BTC. With lots of statistical noise obviously because of its quick re target, and profitability jumpers. I just keep the ZET I mine and believe it'll be worth more in the future. It's worked thus far.

EDIT: Oh, I think you might be referring to the reward halving. Yes, if the difficulty remained exactly the same. But the difficulty will keep changing in accordance to profitability.

Yeah, I agree. YaCurrency doesn't work

I don't think they're implying it improves hash rate. The question is if changing those values lowers reject rates, I'm also curious to find out.

Nah, don't mess with it. Make a dedicated NEC thread though, not just the announcement thread of when it was released.

A4, different color though

A dedicated board would be great!

I run 3 computers with shitty Athlon II X4 640s and together they seem to produce a block every 2 days using the latest hp client. Individually they seem to out perform my main computer with a mid level sandy bridge i5. Are AMD CPUs better for xpm mining?

I feel like this coin should have a formal thread, or this one should have the title renamed

It's not the temporarily slower block time that I worry about, its a 51% attack. But then again, if someone really wanted to, it wouldn't be too difficult now.

Just sold my house and kids for GLD. Don't worry, some guy on the internet told me I'll be rich.

I wonder what the hash rate of this coin will be like when block reward becomes negligible.

I'm holding 75%. I think this coin will go further, and the dev isn't shady. A refreshing change.

Nice, next stop BTC-e!
