I can't stop laughing at all the noobs in this thread who can't figure out how to run the client and then yell SCAM. Or the ones who run it for 3 minutes and because they didn't mine 40,000 YAC they yell SCAM. You guys need to calm down, go read about cryptocurrency mining, difficulty, variance/luck, solo mining caveats, and more. I would suggest learning from the first one - Bitcoin. You can't just come in here, download a zip file and go "OK I downloaded this ZIP thingy and I want to get rich, now what do I do?".
I'm one of these noobs and you're right. I was into mining for over a year now, but this was the first time i had to use the official client and my CPUs. It was new to me. I've learned a lot today. Next time, I will be able to help the other noobs. That's what this forum is here for, isn't it? We all started as noobs
