Mine on a pool, but choose a merged mining pool. That way you can make 5 - 8 % extra (depending on the pool and the number of merged mined coins) compared to pure Bitcoin mining.
Load balancing is also a good way to to stabilise your mining income.

This poll is broken. I voted for YACoin (besides other coins), now YACoin is removed from the list and replaced by Basecoin. I would never have voted for such a crap coin  |

Damn, YAC wthout YAK is no YAC  |

Current 93, Death In June, Puissance, Skinny Puppy, Joy Division, The Cure, Vomito Negro, Slayer, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Portishead, Goldfrapp, Eläkeläiset, Gustav Mahler, Dmitry Shostakovich, Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Nina Simone, Dave Bruback, Herbie Hancock, Merzbow and Dissecting Table. Can anyone beat me with a more diffuse musical taste? |

PPC, NMC and YAC are a must to be taken serious as a real exchange. I0C, IXC and DVC would be nice IMHO.

So are we to keep the Yak logo?  Pretty please :3 +1 (the other logos are boring) |

Thats somehow sad, I always liked your pool  |

I tried bfgminer 3.2.0, and it only detects my gpu.
bfgminer didnt work because you also needed -icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 to go along with your -S All argument. Nope, not true for the actual versions (3.14 and upwards) all you need is -S erupter:all The last version 3.20 also produces less hardware errors than older versions or cgminer. (cgminer/older bfgminer has usualy about 1% hardware errors with USB Erupters, with 3.20 the hardware error rate drops to about 0.6%) |

SHA-256 and Scrypt are different hashing algorithms. SHA256 is part of the SHA-2 family and the standard hashing algorithm that is used in most cryptographic software. Its a fast and secure algorithm. Scypt is the hashing funktion of tarsnap, which is very memory intensive and therefor slower than the SHA algoritms. This means it is more secure against brute force hacking, and the developers of the first scrypt coins believed this would also make it impossible to run the hashing on the GPU, which is usually dimensions faster than hashing on the CPU. Sadly they have chosen a poor parameter setup, so that it not 100000 times faster than CPU hashing SHA-256, its only 1000 times faster. So the main reason to create an GPU resistant coin cant be archived with this aproach, but the good thing is that there is now diversity and if one of the algorithms would be cracked (which means your coins would become worthless) then you would still have the other type of coins. There are other coins that use other hashing algorithms like scrypt-jane (the diffencere between GPU and CPU is small and getting lesser over the time) or using a combination of different SHA-3 candidates. There are even coins that use a totaly different Proof of Work with no hash solving (like Primecoins, which solve prime numbers).

Was that server error?
2013-09-04 23:44 00:01:10 0.04824664 0 orphaned
Since I have over 340 shares per minute it looks imposible
Another pool was a tiny bit faster and solved the same block quicker. That happens from time to time. Its the displayed numbers are probably a bug, IMHO Amount should be 0 and Shares should be the amout of submitted shares. It looks the same for me (just my DGM payout is lower): 2013-09-04 23:44 00:01:10 0.00282520 0 orphaned |

They have no coin cap limit!? What kind of backwards thinking is that?
Well, at least for a Proof Of Stake Coin like PPCoin it makes sense not to have a coin limit. Who would keep a stake to protect the network when you dont get a reward for it? |

If im correct, most coins including bitcoins and litecoins
Nope, litecoin is a scrypt coin, you cant mine them with current ASICs. |
|
|
|
wasn't feathercoin (ftc) a litecoin clone?
Yes, Feathercoin is a Scrypt coin, and not mineable by ASICs. I don't think Devcoin is mineable either, it was a project that was completely mined and then given out for deving things. You can merge mine Devcoin along with Bitcoin, Namecoin, Ixcoin, I0coin and Groupcoin at Bitparking. 90% of the Devcoins you generate go automaticaly to the Devcoin Foundation for developers and other projects on Devtome. Devcoin are not worth much, but you can easily collect them to become a coin millionaire because you get a lot when you merge mine them  |

trixter lists the following as SHA-256 coins in a thread on the BFL forums:
Bitcoin
PPCoin
Namecoin
Terracoin
Devcoin
Freicoin
Ixcoin
Also i0coin, Zetacoin and Bytecoin use SHA-256.
(as new coins pop up all the time while others die, this list may be incomplete)
Also Groupcoin, Coiledcoin, Geistgeld and RUcoin are SHA256d coins. |

If no one object, I'll make a voting thread for logo final showdown with these four:  I'm using a bit of judgement to keep the final round of logo choice to these 4 because I don't want the votes to be spread too thin. 3D effect from C or D applied to A or B would probably look badass. Like this?  I'm not sure I've made it look better than the simple version.  You may need someone more skillful. I like YAK Logo more, but this one is at least not boring like all the other ones. IMHO YAC should be different to all these 08/15 Junkcoins to be recognised and accepted by more people. Apple had a long time the slogan "Think different" and over time it helped a lot to be different than the mainstream to become mainsteam |

YACoin, what else? |
|
|
|
|
YAC + PPC + XPM + Quark, all other are junk coins.
