how exactly do you mine this coin with the wallet, I am 28 pages through and I am yet to find anything remotely close to an explanation.
I have yacoin-qt up and running but there i no mining tab as there is with litecoin for example.
or does it only appear once i have downloaded the blockchain>?
No - the mining icon (like Litecoin) is not available in the client. If you have everything up and running and have your config file setup, just add gen=1 and you should be good. The config file should be rpcuser=username <--- change this rpcpassword=password <--- change this rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 gen=1 Also: Don't encrypt your wallet if you're going to solomine.

When I said noob to mining, think "no fucking idea".

CPU mining YACoin with Windows and P2Pool1. Download CPUminer for scrypt-jane ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201027.0) Download [x86 and x64 versions in one pack]: Link 1:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5j84evueiyak76l Link 2:https://mega.co.nz/#!IdtmXQxQ!CBnopwIKXj_NBR54aHL9v2WS9f8gxUj8w0fTHWy6ie0
2. Unzip somewhere, and create a plain text file in that folder called yacoin.bat. 3. Edit yacoin.bat, adding one of the four following lines, depending on your version of Windows, and your CPU. minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_ssse3.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://<URL>:<PORT> -O <yourYACaddress>:x minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_avx.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://<URL>:<PORT> -O <yourYACaddress>:x minerd_scrypt_jane_x64.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://<URL>:<PORT> -O <yourYACaddress>:x minerd_scrypt_jane_x32.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://<URL>:<PORT> -O <yourYACaddress>:x 4. Choose a P2Pool node from the list below, then replace <URL> and <PORT> in yacoin.bat with the correct details from below (or find another pool). 5. Save yacoin.bat, then double click it to start mining. You should see a command prompt window reporting hashes. 6. If everything works, right click yacoin.bat and create a shortcut on the Desktop, so you can find it more easily in future. Troubleshooting- If nothing happens, i.e. a black window flashes up and closes quickly, try another version of the minerd line in yacoin.bat. - If things still aren't playing ball, you may need the relevant MSVC2010 package for CPUminer to run. - If you've tried all of the minerd versions, and it still doesn't work, ensure you've typed everything correctly with no extra or missing characters. PayoutsPayouts go directly to your wallet address, usually within a few minutes of finding a block. You'll have to wait until the balance matures before you can spend it. If you leave the coins dormant for 30+ days they'll become eligible for proof of stake minting.

While no fee is ALMOST true I suggest that you please be fare and not ignore the facts in your sig Your sig says 0.01% fee BTW I just wanted to say thanks I love your p2pool node it is really the best of the available ones, I get like 90% consistently rather than like 70% or 60% on some of the others plus with your low fee

I'll update the post The 0.01% fee on the pool is completely out of my control - there has to be some financial transaction on the server, because of the way proof of stake coins are mined. (see below info from ntkrnl, who forked p2pool for YACoin) In the POS(PROOF OF STAKE) featured coin, when a block is mined, and submitted to the client, it must be signed with your public key, while bitcoin/litecoin don't have to.
BTW I just wanted to say thanks I love your p2pool node it is really the best of the available ones, I get like 90% consistently rather than like 70% or 60% on some of the others plus with your low fee Thanks, my node is slightly faster because I've put it on a more expensive VPS than most of the others. There is still further tuning to be done, when I get more time. Glad it's been useful so far! edit: If you're interested, the 0.01% fee has netted a staggering grand total of 28 YAC since the pool went live.

The yacoin config file mentioned above isn't necessary with P2Pool mining, and you're far more likely to get some coins this way too. Mining solo in the client isn't viable now, although work is underway to develop a friendly client that will connect to a pool without you having to go through all of the above. Post the contents of your yacoin.bat file and we'll try to figure out why the miner isn't running.

i think it is sorted, i needed the mscvr2010 mentioned in the minerd thread.
my black box now says things like;
2013-05-30 22;04;12] thread 0; 8206 hashes, 2.58khash/s LOGPOLL detected new block
is this correct/

@procrypto 2 things 1: So i found that you can go onto both http://yac.procrypto.com:8336 or http://mine.procrypto.com:8336Is there a difference? 2:I seemed to notice that I don't show up in the payout tab even though I am mining in p2p and at your pool. I show up the graphs just not the payout, so I was wondering what was going on. Furthermore there is a giant force that is nabbing most of the YAC on the p2pool network and I was thinking that you were actually using all the miners pointed at your node to mine under your address then just paying them out their fair amounts which is interesting.

Is this really CPU mining rather than GPU mining? How do you ensure that the GPU owners are not ahead of the rest of us?

Not many people have GPU miner yet, and GPUs will probably stop working alltogether in August. http://yacexplorer.tk/graphs.htm#tech

Also you can GPU mine anything and trade it for YACs if that's what you want to get for your GPU cycles.

Do we need to create username and address in the pool? Or do we need only our YAC address? Also I used i5 computer and got only 4khz. Avx and sse perform about the same. What do I do wrong? I used this command minerd_scrypt_jane_x64_ssse3.exe -a scrypt-jane -o http://yac.procrypto.com:8336 -O YK4MC8PDFyzrXhDs5YZGBJtE5V3mVTcy81:x I do not have an account at yac.procrypto.com Should I?

You're doing it right don't worry. Judging by the pool graphs at least. Your address is up on here http://yac.procrypto.com:8336/static/graphs.html?HourYou don't need an account for p2pool My i5 is giving about 16 khash/s at present. You should have 4 lines, thread 0, thread 1, thread 2 and thread 4, each running at about 4 khash/s? Wait about an hour or so, and you should start receiving the payouts direct to your client. Cool name by the way. Doesn't make you look like a lonely pervert
