[ANN][YAC] yacoin: yet another altcoin. START is now.

[jdebunt]

well i'm still mining along happily on my cpu's

11 valid blocks so far, 12 orphans, i like this coin

total : 756.14 YAC.

Teach me, master!

It could be you are on abandoned fork or GPU mining, though.

I really hope not  

I just cloned the source from git and compiled it (1h after launch).

[BulletCoin]

Any idea how many ppl are mining? 100? 1000?

[ymer]

6 Computers, 2 blocks in 2 hours

3 Computers 0 blocks in 1 hour

[JimmyFL]

Does anybody have the win binaries?

There is a link in the first post

[Hydroponica]

My last block was found 2 hours ago, then nothing. 3 PC's running it

Read the 1st post carefully! You need to copy the whole link or use this shortcut: http://bit.ly/12V8mY2

lol, thx xD haven't seen it....

[iamalitecoin]

will adding nodes give more peers?

[ymer]

Should be called orphancoin 

[achillez]

my miner stops - no longer getting blocks - at 25 transactions???

It's the difficulty, just wait

there is something else going on - the load on my CPU is "0%". It's not even doing anything

Same here

LOL methinks this is a jokecoin then.  I just created a new wallet and it's mining again. It seems this miner by DEFAULT stops at 25 transactions.  WTF?!??!

What causes orphans? High hashrate machines?

[Caesar V]

Mined 2000 in the first two hours, now I'm getting 1 block every hour or so

Whats your rig? I haven't found a block in hours with my i7

What causes orphans? High hashrate machines?

Finding a block that doesn't end up becoming part of the chain. Aka, orphaned.

[Magic8Ball]

Got 12 orphans till now; and no confirms

If any of you kind folks who have a lot send a few my way please

Here is the code that calculates N (which determines memory and CPU difficulty).

So, why the hell is there a setting of 4 for before mining starts?


After that,  some number between 0 and 255 that is a function of time.


unsigned char GetNfactor(int64 nTimestamp) {
    int l = 0;

    if (nTimestamp <= nChainStartTime)
        return 4;

    int64 s = nTimestamp - nChainStartTime;
    while ((s >> 1) > 3) {
      l += 1;
      s >>= 1;
    }

    s &= 3;

    int n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;

    if (n < 0) n = 0;

    if (n > 255)
        printf("GetNfactor(%d) - something wrong(n == %d)\n", nTimestamp, n);

    unsigned char N = (unsigned char)n;
    //printf("GetNfactor: %d -> %d %d : %d / %d\n", nTimestamp - nChainStartTime, l, s, n, min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor));

    return min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor);
}

could someone (not just the dev) being doing something malicious.. that's why we are getting so many orphans? i heard a long time ago about some "tricks" which can cause this?

or.. is it that people are using "better" miners they have compiled themselves

They can occur naturally when two miners produce blocks at similar times.

[Rave]

Just another noob question: I've just startet the client using "yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=1 -addnode=82.211.30.212"
Where can I see the mining process?
