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

[ultraimports]

add -genproclimit=-1

I found that right afterwards...did =2 seems higher now.

[Rannasha]

add -genproclimit=-1

I found that right afterwards...did =2 seems higher now.

Just set the number to something high. It's the limit of how many cores the miner can use. Typically there's no reason to limit it at all.

what's orphans mean? Its invalid?

You need to install openssl-dev package.

yum install openssl-dev
or
apt-get install openssl-dev

Google your operative system and openssl install if that doesn't work

Thanks for all the info all. I compiled a guide for YaCoin.

http://maunderingcabal.blogspot.com/2013/05/bitcoin-mining-log-26-how-to-mine.html

Don't you also need to provide instruction on creating the yacoin.conf  in order for yacoin to work in server mode?

Agreed. If you dont have the conf done right you will get an error at least....

Thanks, it's working now.

Make sure to make your config file before starting your client, and mining works I just solo-mined my first block of any coin

[ShaunOfTheLive]

Also the OPs command doesn't use -server switch but maunderingcabal includes it.  Is the -server switch required to mine with a conf file or can you mine with it this switch and with no conf file?  I've been spending a lot of time fiddling with settings and no coin.

According to my testing, you need the -server switch and conf file to mine at all (which doesn't really make sense but oh well).

Not true, I don't have -server or a conf file and have mined 2 blocks in the last 4-5 hours.

That's weird. With just the -gen switch on Windows, I was getting 0 hashes per second, and the CPU usage was only ~6% (it wasn't even trying to mine).

All I have is -gen and the nodes and I'm getting around 100 kh/s and CPU usage near 100%.

18 m/hashes with a 3776k intel core i7. I KNEW THIS WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT!!! lol, still should've went with a radeon instead of nvidia card.

Noob question is it possible to mine yac (CPU) and ltc for example using (gpu) at the same time ?

Thank you for this topic. I've added second seed node and updated code and binaries. Details are in the initial post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196.0
