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

[jomay]

Is solomining this still profitable ?

Hard to tell until we see at what exchange price it stabilizes. A block now is 30 YACs, if it was priced like NVC and you got one block a day, that would be 1 BTC a day.

There must be a herd/block of YACs running through the network right now! And there were flocking into my wallet!
I didn't get anything for 6h and within the last 1h I got several blocks. Maybe it's because I've been reading the thread and thinking about YACs a lot?     To be honest, I'm quite puzzled by this inconsistency. Might be about network latency or whatever, I don't know.

I wanted to switch to ubuntu for mining YAC since many reported it's working better than windows.
thanks in advance

what problems are you facing? I can help you set it up

yes, if you paste the error you get we are able to help

it's random, so you might get 10 blocks in 1 day and nothing for 9days
if you calculate the probability it's 1 block a day. that's basic math...
but good for you

was taking things easy until i saw interest in this coin z equal to FTC and CNC put together  wtf??

[limitless]

Are there any pools yet?

[serge79]

Are there any pools yet?

Not yet, we're all waiting to test one out :-)

[fishboy]

Please stop mining this coin you are only subsidizing, with hard earned electricity, the small group who effectively pre-mined 2 million coins

has the coin been premined that much?
That sucks! someone should make a "cpu only coin" that hasnt been premined.

lol and you believe him ?

expect it to be under heavy ddos fairly quick looking at the trends with cnc, ftc and lately ltc

I'm runnung Ubuntu 12.04.2
I tried to follow the instructions below but I don't know how to compile it.
I don't know how to run it to get the "rpcuser and pass that is generated on the screen"

I'm new to linux, so it might be to hard to explain it to me...
but thanks for trying

A lot of people are asking me about this so - for Ubuntu 12 +

Go to http://novacoin.org/install/ and follow the instructions  substitute libdb4.8++-dev for libdb5.3++-dev for Ubuntu 12.10 +

Next sudo apt-get install bitcoind to load the rest of the libs you need.

Then git clone the client. In this instance git clone https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin.git

Edit net.cpp in yacoin/src on line 28 and change
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 8;
to
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 1000; <--- or whatever you want 200 is probably a bit more conservative  

Once compiled run the client and set the yacoin.conf 

to do that run   editor /home/"YOURUSERNAME"/.yacoin/yacoin.conf and copy the rpcuser and pass that is generated on the screen

Then run the client in daemon mode.   ./yacoind -daemon -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212

Then you can run the commands from here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list
to check the state.   The only one you really need is ./yacoind getstatus   

P.S. since 82.211.30.212 is in the EU, it would help to run a VPN etc that is in or near Germany...

it's just 3 commands

Premined 2 million coins?

I was there right from the start. Many people were mining.

It's true, some have more coins than others, I myself don't have that many because I don't posess a powerful computer.

[r2edu]

I have none because of the lag with the central node and the missing UPnP option in the client, and conections where limited to 8....
7 Orphans in 5 hours.... really fair coin :/

[Hydroponica]

How can I tell if Minerd is working?

i always have max of 8 connection. And was mining ok (well i did also get my share of orphans). UPnP IS IN THE CLIENT!!! people, PLEASE stop complaining about the orphans. Especially if you have no idea how solo mining works. how many "invalid" shares do you get on a pool? guess what, those are "orphans"! suck it up!

[Digicoiner]

This coin is being promoted as an altcoin that anyone can mine with a weak processor but I don't think you'll have much success solo mining with a weak processor at this point.  I suspect many are probably mining this with powerful Xeons and the like.  I've given up solo mining on my core2 duo after hours of no luck.

+1

[sokol815]

number of connections is not so important anymore, having 8 is enough to get blocks without orphans. The difficulty has adjusted enough that it takes a while for a new block to be found. (up to about 7.5 seconds right now... getting closer to 60, eh?)

using the cpuminer* download I have found a block, so I can tell you it works just fine.

* originally said cgminer... I have no cgminer for scrypt-jane

[shivansps]

Yeah, difficulty is constantly increasing and it could take up to 12 hours to find a block with 200khash/s that a 2500K gives right now... we need a pool.

[kalgecin]

for people who complain they have 10 or so orphans,

Code:

root@server:~/yacoin/src# ./yacoind listtransactions "" 1000 | grep category | wc -l
505
root@server:~/yacoin/src# ./yacoind listtransactions "" 1000 | grep orphan | wc -l
192
root@server:~/yacoin/src#

as you can see, i have about 2/5 as orphans.....
