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

[Hydroponica]

Finally, after 3 hrs, I got another block

[markm]

I believe a lot of it has to do with luck.  My 32 core opteron setup has had 13 orphans 0 blocks, and my i5 670 (dual core /w hyperthreading) has 2 blocks/2 orphans in 3 hours of mining.  Or it could be that the 3.4ghz clock rapes the opterons and that's why .  Who knows?

Compare the numbers of connections that they have, maybe?

The game is over, 3 hours without getting even a Orphan, lol, and i have 300 khs rate, so if you dont have at least 1000 khs (1mhs) dont even try it.

Luckily for bitcoin and cryptocurrency there was no such a big computer power back in their days otherwise it would never make it.

[ymer]

you all might check your conf files, I've copie a version from somewhere where it used rcpallowip and not rpcallowip

Please post a copy of your config file.

So, instead of getting raped by GPU farms, we are now getting raped by multi-CPU server farms

No, just the CPUs on GPU farms.

Probably you're getting raped by GPU farms, too.  You don't need to change the kernel from cgminer or reaper all that much to GPU mine this coin right now, and at the current value of N I would wager that most GPUs get 1000+ KH/s.

Wrong... it isn't using standard scrypt algo... you can mine with gpu but non of your shares will be accepted by the network.

I'm aware it's running block header hashes with keccak and chacha20 -- but all you need to do is port them to GPU kernel that comes with cgminer/reaper.

The keccak/chacha20 implementation he took from scrypt-jane is here

Edit: You need to play with the lookup_gap and thread_concurrency to get the best performance, too.

Right now is this but before it was with wrong spelled rcp/rpc, I've found about it actually in your orphan thread.

That's it. I quit. Not a single block after many hours of mining with multiple CPUs.

If there are some lucky miners, I would be very happy if you would send me some YACs

Thanks and bye.

[vinne81]

Still 0 blocks...

Here too, 9 orphans, 0 blocks. Is this a "normal" rate?

Edit, 10 orphans

Restart your YAC wallet until you get 8+ connections and stop whinning. If you are connected to just 8 nodes, chance to get just orphans is massive.

Using a (well connected) local socks proxy, but if I restart I go back to 2 connections and it slowly builds up. Will this ever get me more than 8 conns?

[markm]

well ive been mining this bugger for 10 hours and have 345 coins so far, this is on an 8350 @ 4.6 running all 8 threads.

Tons of orphans. This is my shortcut for those interested:-

E:\Mining\YaCoin\yacoin-qt.exe -datadir=E:\Mining\YaCoin\Data -gen -genproclimit=8 yacoin-qt -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=78.21.9.49 -addnode=81.202.104.33 -addnode=5.9.86.98 -addnode=27.19.201.168 -addnode=13.28.12.51 -addnode=176.9.41.201

How many connections?

[GSnak]

"moneysupply" : 1,545,669

1,553,425.

Market price for this coin should be targeted right around Devcoin.

Still a very long way to go to catch up with FeatherCoin, ChinaCoin and PPCoin.

I think we're about a quarter the money supply of Feathercoin.

Only if you have incoming port for people to reach out to connect to you. If you are using a proxy I guess you'd need a reverse proxy to do that, or something?

[mc_lovin]

Are there any other flags you guys are using to mine?

yeah, this important flag:    -stop_mining_***_orphans_and_stop_putting_immature-48YAC_on_my_screen_for_10_seconds_to_then_just_dissapear

+1 I forgot to use that flag!  Thx!

I also believe the OP may be a bit BIP incompliant.

I do not see an RPC command or a Field in getwork - getworkex or getblocktemplate that gives the current Nfactor.

I may be wrong and missed it, but withholding vital mining information from RPC is ,shall we say "dirty pool"

-MarkM-

I had 8 connections until i forwarded the ports and now i have 25 connections and growing fast.

[wachtwoord]

Even with the port forwarded on my router I can't seem to connect to more than 8 peers.

Oh and a shout out to those that send donated to me. Thanks!

[mc_lovin]

estimate global hashrate?

[Hydroponica]

People, if you are stuck at 8 connections, it's because you need to open the port on your router. This has been said, many, many times. If you look, someone even made a step by step tutorial, on how to do it. Knowledge is power...

[mc_lovin]

if people are passin' 'em around it would be cool to have some YAC's

May be a silly question, but is your Windows Firewall turned on?

[seleme]

op definitely knows what to do to mine this with gpu/in masses and you can bet, he mined loads of them,lol
