I am asking one simple thing : How do I even calculate the profit I can make using YAC ? How many coins per day ? What is difficulty ? What is block reward ? Nobody seems to know this. Maybe someone with a 2600K CPU can chime in and tell us how many YAC he makes / day or something A bit of manual hand-crafting? You can get all that information from the client with the getmininginfo command. Then it's a matter of doing the math. If you can't be bothered with that, simply join a pool and the pool will simplify all this and tell you the estimated YAC/day. But to be honest, I think you are deviating the thread. This is a thread about development and technical aspects of YAC, I think it would be better if you opened another thread to ask these questions.

Do we see the first GPU miners on that pool? http://yac.ltcoin.net/hashrate explodes from yesterday 18MH/s to over 50 today Top current round Hashrates Rank nickname KH/s 1 qq724174 29928 2 QQ213378 913 3 darkhorse 791 It could be GPUs, but most likely it's someone with a server farm, AWS or similar. The GPU implementation seems quite complicated to optimise and these numbers are achievable with enough servers.

Are there any news regarding the feasibility of the 80-chip Avalon design?
I understand Klondike's can be chained, but the cost grows quickly up to 80 chips (Assuming the chained PCB's will cost the same as a single, that's 85€ * (80/16) = 425€ per 80 chips).
If the Avalon design was feasible and its cost was lower than the cost of the 5 Klondike's needed, then it would be a cheaper option for middle to bigger orders. We would then have several combinations of 80-chip and 16-chip PCB's that would probably accommodate 95% of the orders chip counts from what I quickly glanced.
What are your thoughts on this?

I got ~25kh\s with ssse3 on win7 64bit, i5-430M, 2.26 GHz, 3Mb L3. (~6 each thread, 4 threads) Here some specs abouts my CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/4353732bit version I was using till today: ~10kh\s - so I got more than a double up, thank you Sir. Note: On my CPU, AVX crashes. (Donating 1YAC, obv expect 10 more if you fix AVX on my CPU and bring me to another double-up ) AVX will not work on your CPU, it doesn't support AVX, if it did in the intel description it would display AVX in Instruction Set Extensions. Example: http://ark.intel.com/products/50072Do I get the YAC?

I suggest you take a look at the ongoing development thread, where lots of YAC stuff is discussed including this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206577.0But long story short, it simply means the original developer added a checkpoint for a 10 day old block. Checkpoints are normally used to force people to update the client but there's little sense in YAC and especially with such a short window, so it's most likely a leftover from early development. That's why it gives that message. Windmaster already fixed his version to remove the warning, but if you don't wanna update it's safe either, just ignore the warning, it doesn't affect functionality at all.

I don't see mine, sent it close to the closing window but should be inside

This last N increase has hit my CPU mining hash rate hard, around 42%. It would be interesting to see how it hit GPU mining to see if the algorithm is going in the right direction.
I'm a bit concerned that N might be getting too big even for CPUs though. My single core EC2 micro-instance was capable of mining (at a slow rate) before the N increase, but now it's pretty much unable. Wondering what the rest of N increases might cause, perhaps the pools need to start adding variable difficulty to cater for slower CPUs or the next N increase might kill a good amount of lower-end ones.

You either mine them early and dump them afterwards, or invest in one of them long-term hoping it becomes the 'next Litecoin'. Personally I'm investing on YAC, we'll see how that turns out . Shame I didn't get to mine early though

Certainly helpful for us newcomers

According to the stickies it should be 5 posts + 4h and a script runs every 10min for promotions. Obviously something of that is not true, as I have +5, and been a member for +7h

You need to take into account several other things, like fees that the exchanges will charge you and the time it will take for the currency to reach the other exchange (which can be several hours).
Taking all of that into account it's not impossible to make a profit, but not as simple as it seems.

I thought it was 5 but it seems it's 10 considering it's been 4h already...

I don't know much about the specifics of hardware needed to mine, but the best cards yield around 500-700 MH/s. Building a 5GH/s rig with those costs quite an awful bit of cash. To see that BTL sell that amount with much much less wattage and at only 300 bucks seems a bit fishy. They haven't shipped anything yet right?
Apparently to a very few chosen ones, lucky people, e-famous people, press and stuff. Other than that I don't believe it's exactly a scam, but they're having trouble mass-producing them, they're also probably holding a good amount of ASICS for mining themselves, and with this waitlist nobody knows when it's going to reach you.

Considering the huge waitlist there must be for BFL, I don't think it is wise to order right now. Personally I'd mine on GPUs/FPGA's, and then when (and if) the ASICs are in stock and not in an unpredictable waitlist, go ASIC. Otherwise you're risking that the ASIC that now has a good profit is about as good as your current GPU when it reaches you, or that there are newer much better generations out there. Or both

Unless you avoid Paypal for selling on eBay, selling them can result in a Paypal dispute and you losing it, as you will have no real way to prove you sent the BTC (don't expect them to understand the blockchain). And if you're from US, there's simply no way not to accept Paypal. We Europeans at least have that choice.
But either way, if I understood you right, you are basically saying you will make roughly the same amount mining LTC and BTC, so any of them should work for you and you could do some tests to see if the eBay BTC selling option works for you.

Considering the few Litecoins I mined around 1 year ago when almost no one cared about it were at 0.003$ back then and now they're 3$, I can believe anything. I certainly will wait to see what happens. And I also deeply regret stopping mining back then, but who could predict this climb

If price is not an issue, then fit as many 7950s as you possibly can, they seem to be better than 7970s in performance per watt. I'd say 4-6 per rig, depending on how well you can manage heat, then after that just increase the number of rigs. My 2 newbie cents
