Dont ever use forum ip ever. If you have flaky DNS or something adjust your hosts file, but always type bitcointalk.org in browser. That way you wont be ignoring SSL warnings. Consider this. The hosting provider steals the IP and points it to some kind of proxy harvesting users passwords, etc. then u will unknowingly give them your stuff since u are used to ignoring the SSL certificate anyways. Hell even your local ISP or man in middle can get your password, cause you would simply trust their (invalid) certificate. So +1 for scammer tag if you had used IP  And what else was I meant to use when they changed domain providers and it wouldn't route probably in the UK? |

My bad. Actually I still use the forum IP 109.201.133.65 but people will call for scammer tag if I post that -_- Dont ever use forum ip ever.

As total YAC supply is roughly 2.6Mio and as we see 100.000 YAC buys in the order book I wonder how long this distribution phase will last.
Way too many YAC were generated early due to low starting difficulty and most of those holding them are noob traders who probably already cashed-out and are now mining some of those crapcoins that came out after YAC. That part of the story is great since those who bought YAC at 1000 for 15 LTC or so got those coins very cheap actualy, but problem I see is that those who are making the most YAC even now have no clue about markets. WindMaster proved that he is making a lot of YAC but have no clue whatsoever why dumping his bags works directly against him. Not sure if turtle83 is still mining YAC but he is noob trader as well, who was surprised YAC price went from 15 LTC to 30+ LTC just few hours after he removed his massive sell wall off the Google YAC / LTC exchange. It would be awesome if we could get rid off people like those two or educate them about how market works but I think that would be a hard task since they are oblivious of the effects of their own actions. Lost cases have the most money today and that is why everything is pretty much lost. Hey! I improved after u educated me. Not doing n00b things anymore. btw what happens in PM stays in PM! |

the real issue becomes powering them all. even with 12 port hubs, it's 35 of them. good luck finding a circuit in a home to handle that. Even if you could power all of them, note USB only supports up to 127 devices on a single host PC... and only 5 USB hubs chained - including the internal 2 hubs in your "12-port hub". But... is it 127 devices per computer or per Bus? xxx@xxx-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Does this mean this computer can have ~8*127 USB devices? |

I thought you were on FPGA bro, not GPU.
I started (late, 8.5 hours after coin launch) with a massive server farm while I modified cgminer, then once that was working, I moved on to the Xilinx implementation. I just got the Xilinx approach (for N=32, anyway) going last night. I'll reevaluate whether to bother continuing to mess with it when N=64 tomorrow, we'll see whether Yac exchange rates continue dropping. N=32 was not difficult on the FPGA, it's really not difficult to pipeline a bunch of 32 bit wide processing stages (as opposed to, say, 1024 bits of data width for Litecoin). N=64 starts getting a little hairier. mind sharing the knowledge  Lots of hints already posted in this thread that'll probably point a fair number of people toward where they need to look. And if not, perhaps more people will have learned about OpenCL in the process, something they might never have otherwise had the fun of playing with. I don't need the bounty. But I'm very curious to see which of the people I gave hints to wins the bounty first, or if someone else that already modified cgminer comes forward to collect the bounty. Personally, I think the bounty is much too low though. Actually, most of all, I'm curious to see the hash rates the other implementations achieve(d). I didn't spend a lot of time optimizing, I moved straight on to writing Verilog for the FPGA attempt. Thanks for your tips. Will try tomorrow with pyopencl first. Im proficient python but not C ... so ... if i can somehow by magic get ocl kernel to work... i guess the cgminer side of it should be trivial in comparison. Can you provide some test data? i.e. some inputs and known nonce for it? That would be real helpful. |

I know the command to get block Difficulty but how do I get block height? via bitcoind?
IIRC block height is same as the number of blocks. getblockcount |

BTW - scrypt-jane isn't a hashing algorithm. It's a software library that supports several different scrypt-based hashing algorithms, including scrypt+Salsa20/8 as used in Litecoin and scrypt+ChaCha20/8 as used in Yacoin. The library is here: https://github.com/floodyberry/scrypt-janeAssuming the OP wants cgminer for Yacoin specifically, a change in the title of the thread is probably warranted, as "scrypt-jane" doesn't refer to the hashing algorithm in Yacoin. It's ambiguous which scrypt-derived algorithm one is referring to if you say "scrypt-jane". Interesting, i assumed scrypt-jane was the algo. </n00bmode> https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/scrypt130511.cl#L712By the way is Yacoin mining with OpenCL almost as simple as swaping out salsa with chacha20? That's what I was thinking, and also a SHA2 hash needs to be changed to SHA3 i believe. The code in that scrypt cl file is tedious to write, but technically trivial code. It's just mathematical operators to follow the algorithms. But where is the "N" going in scrypt130511.cl ? I know for litecoin its something static. I see this many times in scrypt_core Is 1024 the N of litecoin and thats being hardcoded in there? |

nice. i lost few mins of productivity during the good ol gold rush days cause the first yac pool went down... had to babysit each machine manually for a while... then read on what the timeout and retries arguments actually did... |
|

The problem here is i dont think that OpenCL code for scrypt-jane exists out there. IIRC the kernels for sha256 and litecoin type scrypt was based on pre-existing code developed for other purposes then adapted for mining...
So if someone were to write from scratch, maybe have some influence from litecoin-scrypt, id assume it easily taking up 10 - 20 hours minimum for an experienced OpenCL developer.
1) Now if said developer is into mining, 5k YAC is pocketchange compared to what they get by not sharing.
2) If said developer is not a miner, then ud need to pay a lot more... maybe like 10 - 20 BTC easily. Thats assuming their time to be worth 1 BTC/hour.
So, find person that fits category 1 and cares more about community than personal goal... Then theyd not care much about the bounty anyways.
Having said that i can add in 2k YAC to the cause, to be in your "donators" category... i am not that proficient in C/C++, but i can help with testing early code.
This project needs to be split into 2 tasks:-
1) The cgminer side of things. The side that validates the nonce returned by the kernel. This should be fairly easy, given that the c code for it exists.
2) The OpenCL kernel... this would probably be a lot more complec. Way over my pay grade. Would need some sample test cases to help with development, especially if the developer is non-miner.

You are great, Turtle I know u are bagholder of YAC so my 10 YACS is nothing for U lol. give me address anyway deal is deal  Option 1 : YNdaaBMPqCprh1WwieDjH6Lit4rCHmCvud (tips are special. even if monetary value may not seem a lot at the moment ) Option 2 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200311.0 add to the value for p2pool code bounty. |

Basically. try to mine first pool if it times out for 15 seconds, retry once. if it times out again, then move to pool 2. If all 4 of them failed. Then solomine for 5 minutes before trying pool1 again.... and so on.... forever.... |

.00069!!! That's a good number. everyone loves 69
Id prefer 0.0069 more |

And why the fuck are people still mining this? The OP lied about BTer. At that point, it was time to redirect your miners to something with actual value  I'm merely trying to run the client on linux so I can explore the blockchain with ABE explorer and prove that this shitcoin was premined. @SylTi, thanks mate, it worked! const char* pszTimestamp = "Fri May 10, 2013 London copper eased 0.4 percent to $7,321.75 a metric ton while gold futures lost 1.2 percent to $1,451.6 an ounce"; Meaning genesis block created in the last 3 days. So it could have been premined for 2 - 3 days.... |
