Pls update my sell offer price to 90 LTC. I was not joking... i am cereal.

I skimmed thru the yacoin source, looks clean.

I didn't see anyting in the commits at release either, nor now again. For what it's worth, grepping for pieces of the alleged stealing domain or IP, either in clear ascii or in hexadecimal codes, yielded nothing.

The only suspicious coin i participated in was chinacoin and i built and run that in a sandboxed environment. Simply because they didnt fork from a trusted coin. They uploaded it as a fresh source on github... nobodys got time to check all the things....

whereas skimming the commits is much easier.

I never messed with YACoin, but I am going to put it through a debugger and dissembler when I get back from eating breakfast. Good day.

If you are a well known security analyst IRL then i have bounty for analysis : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202090.msg2110749#msg2110749

The recent trojan thingy has got me panicing. I am updating my sell offer.

WTS 1k YAC for 90 LTC

Wink

I predict an anti-FUD bubble on the horizon.

All this YAC fear mongering is actually a testament to its success.
+1

Now assuming that a couple of people were in fact compromised...

Also, i see windows users so eager for binaries. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199517.0;all and see so many people literally begging for windows binaries. I had couple of people PM spam me for them as well when i clearly state all i was concerned about was getting a source and knowing its compatible with Linux.

I skimmed thru the yacoin source, looks clean.

I can offer bounty of 2k YAC for some well known expert security analyst to make a report on the official yacoin binaries. I know this is a small amount for an expert, so I encourage others to join in the bounty.

If people download binaries from untrusted places, they are at fault.  If this were to happen to me, id feel bad, rant a little, but in the end accept my own fault for using untrusted binaries.

AWESOME. I need to rush to the mall to replace a fried power brick. Will start playing with it in a bit.

LOL I rebuilt yacoind and it started working. Cheesy

Now I get failures when receiving block headers.

Are you sure you installed the yacoin_scrypt module?

I get error trying to build that module

WTS 1k YAC for 80 LTC.

ive done 8 transactions of 47,000 YAC total in this exchange.

}

So at the time i ran this the last mined block's reward was 20.15000000 YAC. so next one would be very very close to that.

Now I get failures when receiving block headers.

ok booting up vm to play with this sandboxed.

Maybe unrelated... but i tried to use abe with yacoin just for fun. gave up after 5 mins , Last thing i remember was it was erroring on reading/validating block headers.

Helper script for those solo mining.

Code:
import sys, time
import json
data = sys.stdin.readlines()

items = json.loads("\n".join(data))
#print items
hour = 0
for item in items:
    if item.get("generated"):
        if item["category"] != "orphan" and time.time() - int(item["time"]) < 3660:
            hour += float(item["amount"])
        print "%s: %s - %s YAC . %s confirmations" %(time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(int(item["time"]))), item["category"], item["amount"], item["confirmations"])

print hour
(too lazy to read up on rpc spec)
save this as pp.py

then run
Code:
./yacoind listtransactions "" 1000 | python pp.py
Shows you last 1000 (adjust the command) mined blocks including orphans.
The number in the last line is YAC (excluding orphan blocks) mined within the last hour, so you get a sense of averaged gain.

Well, even if it's 100% profit, I'm kinda burned out so I'm done.

LOL, I had indeed suspected there were quite a lot of us using Amazon EC2 for Yacoin mining.  I just shut down most of my instances as well, including c1.xlarge's in the Virginia data center.


I'm going to post a quick guide for anyone still thinking about doing some AWS mining. Note that this is a fairly primitive method, and I'm only putting it here because it's so easy anyone can do it.

First, you need to start a single instance of Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, either for server or cluster - doesn't matter. Then SSH into it (don't forget to set your security settings to allow your SSH!). I'll add the detailed instructions for this later - but honestly, AWS is pretty simple, I think anyone can figure it out.

Once your SSH connects, enter the following 3 commands in sequence:

Alternative approach, or at least this is what I did, get one instance all nice and set up, with /etc/rc.local firing up yacoind.  Pre-seed yacoin.conf with the desired options and addnode= options to form your own highly interconnected low-latency mesh within the Yacoin network, run yacoind to create the wallet.dat file and download the blockchain.  Then stop the instance, create an AMI out of it, and then proceed to spawn massive numbers of spot instances off that AMI.  All of the instances then mine to the same wallet mining address, automatically when they boot up, with no need to individually SSH into them.  Pretty nice now that Amazon lets you copy AMI's between their data centers.


Pick any instance.
Pick ami from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/quantal/release/
in "user data" paste this. (adapt the urls and credentials to suit your needs)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev libcurl-ocaml-dev

wget http://link.to/your/compiled/binary/minerd
chmod +x minerd
while [ 1 ]
do
    ./minerd -a scrypt-jane --retries=1 --timeout=15 --url=http://mineyac2.dontmine.me:8080 --user=user.name --pass=password  --syslog
    ./minerd -a scrypt-jane --retries=1 --timeout=15 --url=http://mineyac.dontmine.me:8080 --user=user.name --pass=password  --syslog
    ./minerd -a scrypt-jane --retries=1 --timeout=15 --url=http://mineyac3.dontmine.me:8080 --user=user.name --pass=password  --syslog
    ./minerd -a scrypt-jane --retries=1 --timeout=15 --url=http://yac.dontmine.me:8080 --user=user.name --pass=password  --syslog
    timeout 300 ./minerd -a scrypt-jane --url=http://your.yacond.host.name:8108 --user=rpcusername --pass=rpcpassword --syslog
done
^ Since this uses precompiled binary, i think you can get away with instaling non-dev version of the packages.

If you wanna get real fancy setup central rsyslog server...

754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ABOUT YAC AND JKC on: May 11, 2013, 01:18:59 AM
YaCoin is different than the other coins because the intial coins were mined by millions of normal people with CPUs.  Thus, there's already a lot of stakeholders.

As soon as YaCoin is able to be mined with GPUs there will be another wave of stake holders.

This is different than any other altcoin so far.

For this reason I think YaCoin will be valued much higher on the exchanges.  Obviously it will go to an exchange.

I will comment the GPU issue here. Yes, it is possible to develop OpenCl or cuda miner for scrypt(N, 1, 1). But the CPU / GPU hashrate difference will be less than 10 times and will decrease over time. So GPU's contribution into miner's total hashrate (even in case somebody will implement this) will be like one or two additional CPU cores. This is because scrypt will need more and more fast random access memory with N increased.

RAM? My system has 16 GB of Ram, and my 7950 has 3 GB Ram...

From what ive heard... once the N gets large enough to not fit in L1/L2/L3 caches, at that point GPU will have an advantage cause its memory is much lower latency...

No. They use the TP-LINK WR703N as the host controller. The sparatan has nothing to do with that.

Is there a block chain explorer for YAC already? If not id like to put 500 YAC bounty towards it. Probably an abe installation to work with yacoin ...

EDIT: This is for someone to host it as well.... not just code, but hosting the service also.
