I don't understand who is getting all the blocks??
|
|

So how much memory is needed to complete one hash?

Anyone mining this thing on a cloud?
Probably some botnet guy...I have yet to found a profitable vps provider for mining. I doubt there are any botnets YAC mining. It's more profitable to CPU mine QRK or XPM. I'm guessing most of the YAC network is still GPU farms. |

Only PoS and low intensity CPU mining here.
Is YAC CPU mining as profitable as XPM mining? |

How is everyone doing with GPU mining? I feel like I'm trying to dig holes with a tooth brush. HW errors are out of control, but I can't crank the thread concurrency too high or the GPUs become unstable. Best I can do is about 7.6 diff 1 shares/min per 7950. Can anyone do any better?
yacminer --scrypt -w 256 -I 11 --lookup-gap 2 -o http://yacp.coinmine.pl:8088 -u myusername -p mypassword --thread-concurrency 41216 yields appx 9k/sec on my 7950's... Do you get any HW errors? After accounting for HW errors I get 8.3 kh/s per card. I can't seem to crank my TC that high when lookup gap is only 2, maybe it's because I use WF3s with the lower voltage FW. |

FuzzyBear have you got pictures of your setup? That sounds cool. I'm also going to be mining with at least a couple till the end of time cause the idea of them is awesome. But I'm hoping to find someone with hundreds of them, I'm sure those people are out there!

Most responsible pool operators that I've seen at least removed pool fees temporarily after screwing up. And these screw ups I speak of are minor compared to losing $2000+ USD of the pool's funds. You've lost my hash power.
Where are you getting $2000? If Middlecoin had been on the updated chain, in 5 hours you would have found around 30 blocks which would be around 5 BTC worth. The bad blocks found on the wrong chain were found at artificially low difficulty with almost no competing hashrate, so you can't really count that amount. The pool's immature funds went from 21 BTC to 8 BTC after the blunder was discovered. 13 BTC so closer to 1650-1700 USD, still doesn't make me any happier. Right, but those weren't "real" funds, they were based on a bunch of FTC blocks that were found at artificially low difficulty with little competing hashrate on the network. As I said earlier, if middlecoin had been mining on the right chain the amount would have been closer to 5 BTC. You didn't 'lose' the 13 BTC because it was never really there. It was just a number in the database. The difficulty on our orphaned chain was the same as the main chain... |

I'm looking to save hundreds of USB miners from hitting the landfill by turning them into art. I'm looking to get an idea of how cheaply I can buy them once they're unprofitable to mine with.

how many are headed to Canada? and price of those if I wanted 1 or 2?
I'm living in Vancouver, going to try to get a bunch imported here and ship them domestically. Price will be competitive with American resellers, with cheaper shipping to Canada naturally. |

I'm very not okay with turning my mining rigs into 4000 W space heaters for 18 hours...

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what is the most up to date YAC wallet now? Also, I remember reading a while ago that a new wallet is being developed with control over individual sending addresses. Is this still in the works? I'd like to tip the dev team, which direction should I throw that to?
If you want to download prebuilt windows binary of Yacoin-QT with CC included (and the Yak logos, LOL), I've created this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276948Please report any bugs you find (but I hope there are no more bugs). You can send tips for the Coin Control to me.  Sent you a little thanks for the hard work! |

For scrypt mining (and scrypt-jane) it takes 65536 hashes to get a share of diff 1. It also takes 65536 shares (diff 1) for every point of difficulty to find a block. This doesn't seem to be the case for QRK. Does anyone know these values for QRK?
That's not entirely right. IMHO there is a somewhat defacto standard for stratum only, where the diff for scrypt based coins is a 65536 multiply if the original diff which the wallet reports. So Bitcoin, Litecoin, and so on all require at average for a wallet-diff 1 2^32 hashes (means 65536*65536) Quarkcoin and quarkcoin clones are "one byte off", means a wallet-diff 1 needs at average 2^24 hashes Since scrypt is much slower than the sha stuff, scrypt based coins started with a much lower difficulty (i think 256*128 times lower) than bitcoin based ones. I don't know if stratum at first only supported integer diffs and not the needed 0.00xxx diffs, or whatever the reason was, somehow on stratum the coins diff (as reported by the wallet) is multiplied by 65536. As said for Quark: Diff 1 is 2^24. Stratum shouldn't modify this value. At least i didn't code any reversing of stratum diff in the minerd. (If i did write garbage, please correct me) Sounds like someone switched off a botnet (or his boss found out). The hashrate on the few p2pools I checked, including mine, is rather stable. Also, was the diff really above 950? I don't look for the diff often, didn't notice that.
Also we have some mainly 1:1 clones using the quark hashing algorithm Very helpful, thank you! |

What do you guys think will happen to the price after the next halving?
It will have to double, for the coin to stay alive. Wouldn't that be nice for the price to double. But if the price doesn't change, the coin doesn't die. The difficulty will shrink to half and everything will resume as normal. |
