[ANN][YAC][HOWTO] Howto mine yacoin

[jlspartz]

Any way to specify cpu cores or percent of usage for the client?

[Harry_Styles]

Probably dumb question, just making sure. Do I need to do the yacoin.conf stuff? It seems to be working okay so far, just getting a lot of orphans.

How can you tell your mining speed?

I started yacoin wallet in mining mode, my cpu is at 97% so I'm pretty sure its mining, it even got an orphan, how cute. But I see nowhere to monitor the speed or to even see that it is mining.

This is scam or im a big mother fucker unlucky bastard...

I have 2 pc, i7 and i3, total o more than 200 khash/s, in one i have 13 orphans, in the other 5 orphans, and 0 fucking yacoins acredited... Really?

People when mining like this it's all about NETWORK LATENCY

Miner to first send a solved block to network will get credit.

You might have a super fast PC but your network sucks = less solved blocks verified
(still some luck here)

BTW that's also why mining on a pool with low network latency is best ;-)

Question:
When we set the wallet in mining mode it need to be synchronized?

[diegodos]

can i use the same tutorial https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,1430.0.html  for YaCoin?

thx

Look at the network.  1-3 blocks are being found every second.

So basically if you're not caption crunch you're SOL?

Getting orphans here as well.

[iamalitecoin]

will adding nodes reduce orphans?

[solracx]

what a joke... nothing but orphans!

The problem is with a low difficulty, that makes the chance of 2 people finding a block at roughly the same time much higher. If the difficulty is high enough compared to the network hashrate, finding a new block should be a relatively rare event and 2 being found simultaneously almost impossible.

All freaking orphans - guess I have no nope in hell mining from India?

[robotrebellion]

Besides CPU usage, how can I tell if it's mining using the Windows QT? Is there a command I can send the client to see my hash rate?

[Prelude]

Is it possible to point all computers to one server on the local network? Or does each PC have to run it's own instance and mine on it's own?

Code:

// yacoin: increasing Nfactor gradually
const unsigned char minNfactor = 4;
const unsigned char maxNfactor = 30;

unsigned char GetNfactor(int64 nTimestamp) {
    int l = 0;

    if (nTimestamp <= nChainStartTime)
        return 4;

    int64 s = nTimestamp - nChainStartTime;
    while ((s >> 1) > 3) {
      l += 1;
      s >>= 1;
    }

    s &= 3;

    int n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;

    if (n < 0) n = 0;

    if (n > 255)
        printf("GetNfactor(%d) - something wrong(n == %d)\n", nTimestamp, n);

    unsigned char N = (unsigned char)n;
    //printf("GetNfactor: %d -> %d %d : %d / %d\n", nTimestamp - nChainStartTime, l, s, n, min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor));

    return min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor);
}

maxNfactor = 30... or 1,073,741,824 or 134,217,728 KB used.  Yikes.  If the chain gets to even 32 MB in the first year the thing will trainwreck.

I suspect a GPU miner is already out for this one, if not in public.  There's not actually that much that needs to be changed in litecoin-reaper.cl, and right now GPUs should destroy CPUs.

got only 12 orphans 0 block by now
