Which program i need for this?
(w7)

[champbronc2]

For some reason I can't get any active connections with YAC.

I have used CNC, LTC, BTC, BQC wallets with no hassle so far.

ANy ideas? Can't even sync my wallet.

[blastbob]

I had problems until i added a working -addnode also on my windows client.

[champbronc2]

So I opened CMD, and typed:

C:\*file-location*\yacoin-qt.exe -gen -addnode=82.211.30.212 -addnode=192.168.1.237 -addnode=54.217.249.235 -addnode=54.217.249.230 -addnode=54.217.249.229 -addnode=54.217.249.139 -addnode=54.217.249.230
 

And YACoin opened, but I'm still seeing 0 active connections.. Did I do it right?

[Boelens]

I got the run thing from someone else and used one node, I got 8 active connections, does that mean it's mining?

Go to Help menu, Debug window, select the tab Console, type gethashespersec in the bottom textbox.

That's not true, cpuminer seems to work fine too.

Have you blocked with it yet? I am firing 150KH/s with it now.. no luck yet

[champbronc2]

With 41kHash /sec am I wasting my time even bothering? Also, how can I tell when I win something through the YAClient?

No, my i5 2500k gets 100-200 kHash/s. When you win a block it will show as a transaction pop-up labeled "Mining", then it'll show a clock in the transactions list if it's approved and it's being confirmed.

Most likely yes but you never know. You may get lucky. I started 3 computers on it (2 desktops and 1 laptop) and managed to find 2 blocks. nothing in the last hour and a half so I'm not wasting any further time on it.

Also, how can I tell when I win something through the YAClient?

Well you may get mined notifications but chances are most of them will be orphans. You'll maybe get 1 in 10 notifications maturing if you're lucky.

try appending arguments with...

-addnode=76.115.8.101

my client is going to be up for awhile.

I think you already added me from the other post, someone(I thought it was you) posted a report of all the connected nodes and mine was listed.
-cheers

p.s. we need an exchange...

Oh my god, It's time to shave some YACs,
Hang the diapers,
Stuff the boots with slaw
Watch for the shaven YAC to float by in it's canoe

CAN GPU  MINING?

[blastbob]

CAN GPU  MINING?

You can only use their client for now until cudaminer, cgminer etc change their code for this coin.

Can u write code please?

[wesjuhnl]

To see mhash you type gethashespersec in console on debug..

but is there a way to see it the whole time like you normally do in guiminer or cgminer ?
