Yes I understand that from some other coins that do it as well. It is a great feature indeed.  Is this normal though it has been running nonstop. Still not staking the other wallet before it messed up would say staking after it sync'd.  What wallet is this? I like that it shows the conversion rates and estimated value right on it. Its the first I've ever seen anything like this. |

That's what I mean - there have been a lot of development around 11x, 13x, 15x for GPUs and ASIC developments for SHA-256 and Scrypt, but what about CPU mining? Is it just completely unprofitable to CPU? Or is there an algo I'm missing?
Edit - Maybe a better way to answer my question is with a question; 'Is anyone CPU mining? And if so, what coin/algo are you mining?'

For a long time, Primecoin was 'the' CPU coin along with a few others. But, I haven't really seen much as far as the 'most profitable' cpu coins to mine; its all ASICs and GPUs.
Are there any coins worth mining with just CPU?

Does this mean we can go back to discussing other (more important) things? Like the next version of the wallet? (btw - the last update blew my mind; the POS upgrades were amazing!) For the next version, we might want to consider adding some 'POS indicators' (such as the 'green arrow' as seen in Blackcoin and Reddcoin) that helps the minter estimate their time until a stake. I'm not suggesting we 'copy' it (although that's what any other coin developer would do), but could we create something even BETTER then what everyone's using? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206577.msg8349070#msg8349070On a side note.... A shutout to Groko. The charts are very useful and I love what you've done with your block explorer. I use it quite often. I hope there is more development work to come!  |

It will take about 30 years before POW inflation equals to that of POS.
Is that a bad thing? This is assuming that YAC doesn't gain more acceptance/mining power and the block reward doesn't drop (ie below 25 coins per block), right? I guess what I'm missing is; why is the coin distribution a problem now? AFAIK its been unchanged since the initial launch (~1.3 years ago). |

Hello, is there some with R9 280x
Can you share a bat file and what speed you have.
How many GB of RAM should have 1 RIG.
Thirtybird is the GPU guru. He made a site to help write config files/settings. I find it very useful. http://www.ultracoin.net/configgen_raw.htmlHowever, chaining the block reward 'because the price is low' won't be viewed lightly by others.
How about chaining the block reward 'because the inflation is high' ? YAC is only 15 months only and bitcoin is only 5 years old. 'Inflation' rates are going to be very high for all coins in the beginning. What's the difference if there are 21 million bitcoin or 2.1 million bitcoin? The value will adjust accordingly. Hardforks are usually create a lot of uncertainly and confusion. IMOP they are best avoided when possible. |

I am skittish even now just that this idiotic idea is slightly entertained.
I'm surprised this is still being discussed as well... Changing the block reward won't have 'any effect' on the market value of the coin. Four coins worth 100 satoshi or one YAC worth 400, doesn't change the scope, or the market value, or adoption/acceptation of the coin. However, chaining the block reward 'because the price is low' won't be viewed lightly by others. |

Well, I think Beave162 and mhps have certainly made their position clear. Anyone else care to weigh in on this?
I have to agree with Beave - I don't personally think changing the block reward is going to 'fix' anything. IMOP its going to make it look like YAC favored the early adapters and generate an unnecessary hardfork. Again, IMOP, the block reward doesn't really matter - what matters is the number of people that value the coin vs the number of people who dump. My vote is the leave YAC the way it is - a well though-out coin, I don't think it needs to be changed in anyway. |

I agree with roller in that we need to start buying things with Yac, instead of just mining/hoarding. I've put a link up on the website for bitcoinmegamart and also sent out a tweet.
In other news, Yacoin 0.4.4 has been officially released and can be downloaded from yacoin.org or github.
This release includes many updates by old c coder and the stake enhancements mentioned on the previous few pages by grokouser.
From here, we need to start thinking about what to do for 0.4.5! There are many interesting suggestions that have been made and it's time now to look into the pros and cons of some of them and decide what, if anything, to implement.
Great news! Thanks a lot, Joe. I'm updating my wallet now. Sent you a tip for the amazing update (txid 5ec330bb774477ce641979455b81272aabdb6edbcf8909ec362d11c5ede63158) Thanks you Groko, too! (txid 56af5a86657badb4730707dd0d51b17b2990a5c132aa8951da7551c080576cf7) Thank you, oldccoder! (txid 8c8273ab2fe43712053c8f815bcb94e5544ed401228c81867cb1313a514f267c) People can buy things with YAC--convert to BTC. Thanks to bitcoinmegamart for the promotion. Hopefully, more people will mine YAC , convert electricity to YAC and get discounts on buying items by doing so. I disagree on bribing (for lack of a better term) sites at this point because the resources could be put to better use elsewhere. I'll say it didn't seem to help UltraCoin at all. I'll save you my thoughts and theories as to what has the most influence on the price. But hey, that's the beauty of decentralized free market--individuals making their own decisions based on their own self-interest. In the spirit of this discussion, I'm increasing the GIVE-A-WAY promo to 2000 YACoin per person and extended the deadline to 30 September. Please take my YAC! https://forum.yacoin.org/index.php?topic=672.0Thanks Joe - I've been looking forward to this update to have the opportunity to finally mint some of my micro transactions! Edit: About 16 hours into minting with 0.4.4 and I've went form 3227 transactions in my wallet down to 1687 from the new 'merge' POS minting. Its working great! Edit: At about 32 hours of minting and down to 733 transaction! A 77% reduction! I created an active bounty list on YACointalk forum and added Beave's give-a-way. I invite anyone to feel free to add/update the list. https://forum.yacoin.org/index.php?topic=692.0For possible future wallet development - I'd like to throw the following on the table for consideration. Some of the new POS 'only' (Reddcoin, Blackcoin, etc.) have this nifty arrow in the bottom of the QT wallet. When the user hovers their mouse over it, it indicated there 'weight' and an estimation of how long it will take to mint.  Under the console they also have 'stakeweight' and 'netstakeweight' which is also interesting information. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to 'import' these features, or if anyone else would find them useful, but I thought I would pass them along. |

Is this coin mine able? Or only through POS?
I only have a few thousand, and the above posts talking about millions intrigues me.

I still have CENT showing in my Cryptsy balance. I don't think there is an exchange for CENT on Cryptsy anymore - is there anything I can do with them? Or a way to get rid of them from my balance page?
I think Bittrex trades CENT. If not then try a different exchange, I know I saw them just last month in an exchange but they were so worthless I didn't sell mine. It doesn't look like Bittrex trades CENT (they do trade DIME though). I looked on half a dozen other exchanges, but I didn't see anyone that still trades xxx/CENT. |

What coins are you planing to mine with a single card?
Right now I'm mining 11x on a multipool. Once it cools down I'll probably go to script-n (which uses a little more electric and generates a little more heat). |
|
|
|
one big fan should do the trick to lower those temperatures.
I actually have a big box fan on top of the rig. It helps keep the card on the left and the right significantly cooler, but only drops the middle card a few degrees. I don't think it is a good idea to have your card reaching 95 degrees twice a week.
I agree. I would ideally like to be able to put the "temp-cutoff" to 80 or 85 degrees, but this may cause the cards to turn off more frequently. I wouldn't mind, but it would be nice if there was some way to 'restart' them after they cooled down Edit: If there isn't a 'restart miner' flag, is there some kind of 'auto-intensity' that it could drop the intensity until it cooled off? |

Two huge miners on coinmine.pl are really taking over, they just dwarf everyone to oblivion...
Yeah, I noticed the difficultly jumped form 203 to 505 in about 48 hours. Looks like someone wants some YACs while there easy to mine! |

That is a result of the --temp-cutoff being default at 95 degrees. You may be able to use dynamic intensity and tuning based on temp with GPU settings (press the G key after cgminer/sgminer starts up).
I'm using 'auto-gpu' which helps reduce the clock speed, and seems to reduce the temperature, but sometimes that's still not enough. I took a look in the GPU settings in SGminer, but I didn't see an option to turn on "auto-intensity." There this a flag I could add to my config file? {

Is mining Script-N pretty similar to the profitability of x11/x13?
|
|
|
|
I have a three GPU rig machine with tempcut off at 95. Sometimes when the weather is really hot, the middle card, actually reaches 95 degrees. It shuts off like it should, but then it never turns back on. When I get home, its at ~40 degrees and is 'mining' at 0.000 khash/s.  Is there some kind of flag or setting I can add to my config file to tell it to 'restart' once its cooled down? It happens about twice a week in the summer - I'd hate to underclock the cards for just a few hot hours in the afternoon. |

I’m a small miner (about a half a dozen graphics cards – 7770s, 7970s, etc) and I’ve been Script mining on ScriptGuild since it’s opened. At the time, script ASICS were just a rumor and script was the most profitable algo to mine. ScriptGuild is closing down and I’m looking for a new home. I'm out of the loop with x11, x13, x15, keccak and scrypt-n. I’ve just spent the last 5 or 6 hours reading, and trying to figure out ‘which is best.’
From what I gathered, all of these are 'better' then mining Script since the new Script-ASICs. Is there anyway for a GPU miner to switch to the most profitable algos? Or is one better for a GPU only miner like me? Or should I just stick with Script mining since I already have the configs made?
