YAC is n factor 14 and the good thing is it can be mined by people with r7 240 cards like me, people with a gtx 780, or people with an r9 280x and all get pretty similar rates...cpus still get like 20% of the speed of a decent gpu.
I think that's really good for distribution.

How is<br/>this ASIC-proof?
Gradual increase of ram usage per thread to find blocks... scrypt-jane is known to be 100% asic resistant, unless until BTL becomes so profitable to mine that making an asic is worth the effort xD There is no such thing as asic-resistant. Deterring maybe , resistant , no way. Pretty much the same thing...making asics costs money, using gddr5 VRAM chips costs a lot of money, and the bulk of it is reserved by nvidia and amd. Cost is prohibitive, you can't risk making an asic for a coin that might fail. We are getting scrypt asics after a loooooong time now, but we wouldn't have them if the amout of ram used in the scratchpad changed over time, wouldn't give the manufacturers time to bank on it. |

It's terrible really...either go with some form of prime number finding algo, or go memory intensive and embrace both gpu and cpu. Start with a high N factor and bingo. N factor 14 yac is pretty decent on both cpu and gpu.  |

I can provide escrow service, 0% fee, I ask only to leave a feedback on my Trust.
The terms of escrow:
- the seller send me first BTL
- after I receive I signal to the buyer to send his BTC to the seller, TXID is mandatory, we must have a proof of transaction
- after the seller receive BTC, or at least has 2 confirmations, I will send to the buyer the BTL
Sounds perfect, I'm in if the buyer accepts. |

Buying up to 5k btl, 0.0001 btc each.
I take you up for that offer...got 500 BTL for sale. How do you wanna go about this? |

Damn, let's hope a gpu miner comes out fast for the other pools...otherwise this could kill the coin before I cash out xD

Pre-installed as in, I'm using Smos, a BAMT fork thing.
It's a pre built iso with mining soft, I'm sure you know it (?)
nope - pure windows guy here. I have one linux box that I test compilation on, but it's my HTPC and I dont have the proprietary amd gpu drivers on it, so it doesn't mine.  No prob, mining heavycoin now...I'll try compiling it on my main rig using linux and then flashing that iso to the pendrives at the farm. Thanks anyway, you rock. |

Indeed...not much to tweak with this, fun that it has 5 algos though, and great for miners.
Let's hope it picks up some more steam soon.

lol  Told ya your settings were wrong...My 290s are slow though, the 280x do 220 too  |

Any hints on connecting to a skein pool? Tried nut2p and stable, both had the diff set so high my measly 8MH couldn't register a single share.
Back on scrypt for now.
OK, it looks like people with R9 cards are getting 20+ MH per card on skein?! Am I missing something, or are 7950's just not capable? I get about 1.8MH per 7950. wha??? I only get 220mh/s per 290 on skein. Do you mean 220m or 220k? I am getting 1.8m on a 7950, as opposed to your 220m. On 7850's, I get about 1.0m. So is your 290 card 220 times better than a 7850? Or am I missing something? Basically I'm seeing about a 3x increase in hashrate over normal scrypt. This is more akin to sha256 than scrypt...your settings must be wrong. Try mine: D:\cgminer_skein\cgminer.exe --skein -o stratum+tcp://myrskus.nut2pools.com:6040 -u ivanlabrie.1 -p x -g 2 -X 4 |

Last person who told me this was actually launching a diffeent version of yacminer someone on his machine as he wasn't using the "./" before yacminer when launching. launch with a -V to get the correct version number. Try launching with a -I set and change to raw intensity through the interface (so long as you have curses) - it's on the same menu as intensity, so hit "G" and then hit "A" if it's on the menu. If it isn't , what the heck are you doing???  I compiled 3.5...how would I be using a different version? :p I'm a noob with linux but I don't do magic xD Ok, I can change rawintensity whilst it's running. 5120 worked, got up to 145kh/s per r9 290 at stock under linux 32bit, using 4gb of ram only. I can't start it with it set though. How do you compile it to get temperature readings? I'm at a loss...copied ADL in there and it didn't work. Yep, just need to have the headers in the ADL_SDK directory. when you run autogen.sh you'll get a summary and it will say whether ADL was found or not. I do have issues if I launch it through RDP where fan and temp isn't available (because it detects rdp as a video driver or something so opencl devices and adl devices don't match) - someone else has the same thing with linux, but this is how it's always been for me (even with version of cgminer etc.) Well, all the pre-installed miners do report temps. :/ Maybe I need to compile them with a monitor first before going headless? |

Further edit: I definitely did something wrong, linux noob...I don't see fan speeds nor temperatures, so something related to ADL. :/
Thought you said it crashed on startup? run "./yacminer -n" (dont use any scripts on anything) - does that work? it compiles and that runs on my ubuntu box, just doing the git clone, running autogen.sh, and make. It runs, but I can't get raw intensity going. |

thanks, but with this board all cards will run on pcie x1 - which is not the best case for my other cuda based software. any other recommendation? 5? X79 only...or AMD. Gigabyte 990fxa-ud5 or the EVGA X79 Dark, afaik. Either that or some server board, socket 2011... |

Anyone mining with only 4gb of system memory or using BAMT 32bit?
My rig has 4Gb and runs on debian. Tried to plug in 8 gb - no change. Have no idea why should hashrate depend on RAM amount For me it looks like a myth. It should work even on 512 mb ram What cards and settings? I couldn't get it to work properly under BAMT. Powercolor 280X #!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

Ah, interesting...didn't seem to work as well with yacminer. I got fed up with it quick lol Will try it out, thx. |
