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

"difficulty" : 0.03460921

So people understand why it's a lot harder, about 14 hours ago the difficulty was 0.00028532, now it's 0.03302380 - 115 times harder.

This is very relevant. The difficulty is adjusted with each block rather than jumping at certain block-counts like most crypto-coins. So the chance of finding a block has gone down gradually throughout the day with more and more people mining.

Along with the reward when you do find one.

that must explain the low number of orphans!

The Orphans are caused by network latency, on your end, for what ever reason.If it was a problem with the client or coin, it would affect everyone. And frig off with the whole, closer to Germany thing. I'm in Canada. Doesn't get much farther from Germany.

don't have a clue, is it so hard to develop a pool for yaccoin?

It should ramp up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. I invested in YAC but it is not like I'm proud of it. As soon as price goes up, I'll sell all and move to some fair coin. I just
wish to see new altcoin where everything works well from the start, including starting difficulty. Maybe a pool or few as well, or even some actual use for the coin before it even
is launched. That would mark it serious altcoin.

As I understand it, it adjusts difficulty on a per block basis according to the network hashrate, what further difficulty adjustment would you suggest?

If it's low difficulty it's only because no one is mining it, if it's high difficulty it's because a lot of people are mining it. Completely working as intended as far as I know....

The orphans are caused by someone mining a block that has already been solved (and will therefor get rejected). It affected a lot of people because blocks were being solved way to fast (versus the new block propagating through all the miners + latency).

And yet its still happening, even with difficulty way up...

Does anyone know how to turn off uPnP in the client?

That's the only thing I can possibly think of that's limiting me to 8 connections (I have ports forwarded to router, and allowed in firewall)

Do you understand that it should be 1 block per minute? Since YAC started it is like 1 block per few seconds, just sometimes it takes more for one to be found. That means
difficulty multiplier is not properly set, it does not react fast enough on hashrate being added or removed from YAC network. Ideally, difficulty should rump up fast enough to
have periods inbetween blocks similar to 3 seconds - 15 seconds - 30 secods - 60 seconds.

Yep I'm with you it should be 1 block per minute. I'm saying that as I understand it, the difficulty is adjusted per block. If that is true - how do you expect difficulty to ever adjust faster? There will always be variance in between blocks as hashrates are added / removed from the network. Not saying you're necessarily wrong, just thinking out loud.

Found another block after about 3 hrs with my i7. Reward at 48 yac

Even though the box is checked, it is greyed out because the binary was built without support for uPnP.  You must manually forward the port.  As a new bitcoin developer I know why he did this.  It is really hard to get dependencies compiled and included in the build.

25 blocks in 7 hours
1 block in 6 -.-

[LOG123]

Got another block on my AMD A8-5600k
 

[shivansps]

yeah my isp is crap, it does not allow me access to the router and upnp does not seems to work (litecoin client also has 8 and upnp is enabled).
For upnp supported routers there is the upnp port mapper written in java.

And for me, well while upnp does not seem to be working, NAT-PMP works, so what i did is set utorrent to use 7688 port, so it will map the 7688 port to my pc, it works but utorrent reset the setting every now and them as it keep tryiong to use a port that is already in use, so im looking other way of keeping the port mapped.

Thanks for the info

I'm back to figuring out why I can't accept incoming connections. I have BTC wallet set up with ports forwarded, and that works fine. I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm not getting through with YAC.
