1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crazy idea: AICoin on: May 25, 2013, 01:27:52 PM
Artificial Intelligence is not a hardware/performance issue, it is a software/logical issue.

You could take all the computing power around the world, multiply it by a billion, then create a time machine, go back to the big bang, and let all that computing power begin crunching numbers.

Then fast forward until today, it would still not have solved even the most mundane task that the human brain could in a matter of minutes, like solving a puzzle of some hundred jigsaw pieces. Simply because we fail to design algorithms for these problems.

Not completely true.  Genetic Programming solves problems using a vocabulary of operations, random generation of programs, testing, mutation and recombination of solutions using a large population of candidates. See ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming and http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/poli/gp-field-guide/index.html.  They've even experimented with FPGAs to optimize the testing/evaluation process for candidates: http://halcyon.usc.edu/~pk/prasannawebsite/papers/sidhuFPL99.pdf

It always makes me chuckle when I read ads here or on craigslist that say "no scammers".  If I were a scammer, I don't think that would deter me.  LOL!

See my fix:

I have to go to bed, but if anyone wants to get a step closer to compiling it on windows, replace line 173 in ./code/scrypt-jane-portable-x86.h with

Code:
#define asm_naked_fn_end(fn) ".att_syntax prefix;\n.def " #fn "; .scl 2; .type 32; .size .-" #fn "; .endef \n"  );	

The new error complains about _has_cpuid@0 not being defined (in minerd-scrypt-jane.o, after compiling to asm).

EDIT: I have managed to compile it! Here is a link for all you windows users Cheesy
cpuminer-scrypt-jane-win32.zip[/ur

If this helped you and you want to donate, please send to any in my sig or YMKPwfHMR72cjw21aBJjLvq3LDfRb7AZ1b Smiley. I really appreciate it.

Cool, thanks. What would be the cmd/bat file command for this version? Where and how to put your wallet address, or does it run as a server etc?
Ps: any news on the 64-bit version?

Thanks!

That's awesome that you got it to compile - but what did you change in the source code?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any ideas?

make -f makefile.BLAH clean Huh

Didn't help... tried even to delete everyone from make folder and compile from scratch - nothing helped. Also cleaned Temp directory, there's also number of files that cannot be deleted. Will reboot now, cannot understand what's the hell going on that compilation  Huh

Also looked into scrypt-jane.c files, I thought that there is some ASM part of code which can give this error, but no - plain C text. Seems like compiler/flags problem.
Does anyone have the same problem at make step?

I've had this same problem trying to compile on Windows under MingW.  Has anyone successfully compiled Yac on Windows?  If so, what's your trick??  And if not, what the heck did the OP release?

I get the same error, and I've compiled up working .exes for Litecoin and Feathercoin.  This is really strange..
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. START is now. on: May 08, 2013, 04:06:13 PM
I have two servers with same 4-core, two threads per core CPUs.

On one, I got coins.

On the other, none.

The difference?

The one getting coins had incoming port open, thus other people's machines had been able to connect to it; it had 75 connections.

The other machine only had 8 connections, the default limit coded into pretty much all the varieties of coins.

I opened its incoming port. I has now, a few minutes later, found a block. It has 25 connections.

(Both are on the same class C subnet, so clients looking for a node to connect to only connect to one of these two machines, as they prefer their connections to be more widely dispersed.)

Oh gosh, if I post this, people might read it. Some might even act on it! That might cut into my share of the coins!

Darn. Okay, lets start a countdown, in only 24 hours I will post this messageadhrfhajfdjdsfgkjmkghm, arg, finger slipped, it posted!

TL;DR please ignore the above, it was posted by mistake!

-MarkM-

which port(s)?

How is this possible? I did mine some blocks, my balance has YACs.

That's because your cpu does other things also.  If you run a lot of background programs, browsers etc it takes away the CPU Cycle from hashing.

But I'm doing it on a mining rig. Only the GPUs are working, nothing else.

THIS WILL WORK ONLY WITH CPU! YOU HAVE TO MINE WITH THE OFFICIAL CLIENT


Calm down with the caps ... I am mining it with yacoind

I'm doing it on a mining rig that is running cgminer alongside (for another coin)

shouldn't be  aproblem, no?

They'll work together, but cgminer will need some CPU-power as well. The GPU does all the heavy lifting, but the CPU isn't entirely idle as it handles the communication with the GPU.
my reported hashrate is bouncing around a lot on all 4 machines I have it running on, and it sometimes sits at zero for several seconds.  Nothing else (of any import) running on the machines.  the report seems to be a bit better after running for an hour or so.  BTW, not a single block :-(

Surprise release @3AM, 1.5 days late = BAD

It's always 3AM somewhere. Grin
True, but saying you'll release at 3PM US Central time, then having a surprise release at 3 AM US Central time is just rotten.  This whole release smacks of opportunism.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. START is now. on: May 08, 2013, 02:47:58 PM
Preannounce = GOOD
No premine = GOOD
Unique hashing algo = GOOD
Extremely low starting difficulty = BAD

Come on people!!

Surprise release @3AM, 1.5 days late = BAD

My ISP (AT&T Uverse) blocks mega.co.nz.  you might be able to get there via IP address.  I had to create a VM in Windows Azure http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/ and download it there, then copy via remote desktop.

Has anyone gotten this to compile on Windows?  I've compiled Feathercoin and Bitcoin ok, but I'm getting assembler errors in scrypt-jane.c.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. Release in 24 hours. on: May 07, 2013, 06:38:40 PM
Just someone compile the qt and Upload it, everybody will join that premined (by some users here) coin

Just compile it if you wan't. It's not like compiling it is rocket science

Rocket science is relatively simple for a rocket scientist. But many people are not, and they don't know where to look for the rocket science manual.

The bitterness surrounding the fact that some of you may not be able to mine this early and then dump a ton of coins is funny.

No, it's cynicism around people taking advantage of the coin mania for their own benefit, rather than creating a fair playing field.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. Release in 24 hours. on: May 07, 2013, 12:00:21 AM
so I imagine that sometime tonight we'll see a post, "sorry for the delay, but now that you're all asleep, we're releasing now. Here are the sources - good luck trying to compile it all up.  We've already started our 1000 CPU Amazon pool mining it.  But remember there was no premine."..
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. Release in 24 hours. on: May 06, 2013, 11:10:24 PM
So given this is over three hours late, if the OP had any integrity at all they would post something about a new release time, maybe 24 hours from now.  The release process should be completely tested and ready to go.  This business of making who knows how many people sit around for hours is ridiculous.  It would also ridiculous to come out with some release at this point, screwing all of those who went to bed, went to work, or some other distraction from bitcoin forum.

Oh, and some kind of statement about the initial difficulty would be nice too.

Ha ha.. I love how people still think this 'coin' is actually going to not only launch, but ever be worth anything. A freaking JR member and a month old git repo.. oh dear

[ANN] next week (exactly 7 days from now) my 14 year old daughter will release a new coin - she changed two of the variable names in the litecoin source, and one comment.  
please stay tuned for more critical information on getting what we're now referring to as "kidcoin".
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. Release in 24 hours. on: May 06, 2013, 08:44:04 PM
Can't wait, got my rig hot and ready

that would be awesome, the C64coin that requires operations on C64 hardware to mine.  That would make it fair!
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: FeatherCoin - New Litecoin based coin on: May 06, 2013, 03:07:36 PM
What's up with the transaction fee?  I've transferred Litecoin without a transaction fee, but apparently the Feathercoin GUI adds a mandatory transaction fee of at least .1 FTC.  So I'm trying to transfer the .08 FTC in my wallet, and I can't do it!  So what I want to know is why this fee for FTC and not LTC, what is going on with this, and who actually gets this transaction fee?  Looking at the transaction logs isn't giving me any insight.

BTW, CNC has the same .1 transaction fee.

Nice idea. What is the starting difficulty going to be?

I'm really confused here. People kicked up a big fuss about BitBar's starting difficulty (even though it was no different to a lot of other coin launches) and now a new coin is launching no-one cares about the starting difficulty? I notice Substrata isn't asking about this in this thread which is amusing to me since half of his 70 odd posts must be about BitBar's difficulty level lol

Why would anyone care about starting difficulty for CPU mined coin?

BitBar seems like it's unfairly enriching those who were poised to mine in the first hour or so, due to the extremely low (0?) starting difficulty.  Same with Feathercoin and most other altcoins.  If N is reasonable and difficulty is reasonable to start, everyone gets a similar chance of enjoying the kickoff.
