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

[maxsolnc]

It's interesting, but still seems like a lottery. I have a couple of great computers (XEONs with 8-24 cores) in the same network, and there is practically no corellation between CPU power and mined blocks. One of the weakest servers is 2nd by success.  

[imafish2002]

Just got 2 blocks in <60 seconds on my 10khash laptop cpu (blockchain is up to date too!) after about an hours mining lol

Random is random!

[JimmyFL]

16 cores? That is nothing. I think you are on wrong fork, my friend.

Ok, soo, say me how to check it...

What's your block count? Should be at around 16.400 right now.

16539, and -reindex didn't change anything, sooooo

[nesic1]

any of you see something strange? when mining other currency it says MINED and in address  field NONE, but hete it say MINED and in adress it say actual address? i found 2 block and different address for each?

I guess you're on the right one then.

[Neverest]

I used -gen command, but my CPU usage is like under 5-10% and temp pretty much same as idle.. I use Phenom 965BE

Note that you can increase the number of cores/threads:
I use yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=7 -addnode=82.211.30.212, where genproclimit is making it start using 7 of my 8 cores (actually 3.5 cores).

If you have a 2600k I7 and use the OP code (genrpoclimit=1) then it will mine only at 12.5%..

My genpoclimit is 4. And I have 4 cores.. Not sure why im not in mining mode :S

Start it like this:

- Go in your Yacoin folder
- Create a new text file (call it !start-yacoin.cmd or so, NOT !start-yacoin.cmd.txt).
- Edit it and enter: yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=7 -addnode=82.211.30.212
- Save, close and open it. It should start your client in mining mode, confirm in console or taskmanager.

Then, most importantly
- Donate any to YGHBQK4V8bq5e6ee8fJhjbc8m7NSBX6yPb as I am only getting Orphans

EDIT: the above is to use 7 cores/threads, change that number to anything you need/want for your CPU setup.

[reb0rn21]

I am confused.

The topic creator says this is just a test, and the block chain will be discarded in approximately 24 hours.

So why are people paying real money for these coins?

The test was done before the public release...... you misread

OH now! I just found my first orphan in 5 hours (it has nothing to do with fork, it was on another computer)

7 orphans in 90 minutes with 3 computers, 0 blocks.

Haven't exactly mined before.  I start the wallet within a command prompt with the following parameters: "yacoin-qt-2013-05-08>yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=1 -addnode=82.211.30.212" and it yacoin starts up just fine, though I have no idea how to see that it is mining.  Am I missing something?

Check the CPU usage of yacoin-qt. There is no real visual confirmation that it's mining and with the difficulty being up considerably (factor 20 from when I started mining), you can't expect to see new blocks pop up in the wallet very often.

I'm curious about this, if there is no visual representation how are people reporting hash rates?

[jlspartz]

Restart YAC wallet and run it with -reindex option to make sure you are on valid fork. It will compare blocks you have downloaded already with those on the network and
then download the rest of the blocks, newer ones which are added since you shut down your wallet.

Trying this, but if there's one more orphan I'm calling BS.

What is up with this - debug log look 'normal' to you?

Where can i check my mining speed if i mine with the wallet?

Help => Debug window => console => gethashespersec

Check your wallet: Help -> Debug Window -> Console. Type "help" for all possible commands and try them out

[maxsolnc]

Difficulty is growing, rewards are decreasing (~60 now instead of 100 at the very beginning)... hope we'll get pool and exchange soon. it will be very difficult to mine solo in 2-3 days, so it will be not good for the coin if it won't be any "ecosystem growth"

[markm]

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!

[monokaskade]

I liked the overall idea of this coin. The release is still bs.

[gudmunsn]

this coin is bs. I can't get any blocks but orphans on an i7-3770. going back to a coin that actually works, bbqcoin.

[#R#a#u#t#e#]

my notebook got killed by this coin...
maybe i should use a desktop with propper cooling

Orphran/Accepted ratio 2/1, seems to be an connection/latency issue


happy mining
