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

[Rubberduckie]

Dumb question, how do I start Yacoin in ubuntu once I've compiled it !

[jeroenn13]

When I do : "gethashespersec"
I receive "11738" back

Is this good?

[jonptl]

means ur mining at 11khashes/s.

[ehmdjii]

i get 38145

what are my chances to find a block?

[gubb3l]

Is someone of you able to compile the new cpuminer for windows ?

[KillaGT]

i mined now half an hour with my 6core 1090t and didn't find a block yet....how long does it normaly take to get one? Diff rise 100% in this time xD

Other question...is it possible to add another pc's gpu to the same wallet / client i'm mining now, or has every pc to use his own client and mine against each other?

To use the cpuminer, how should I configure yacoind? I currently have this configuration:

rpcuser=<hidden>
rpcpassword=<hidden>
rpcallowip=<hidden>
rpcport=7332
port=7688
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
addnode=82.211.30.212
addnode=78.21.9.49
addnode=76.115.8.101
addnode=124.149.56.205
addnode=178.130.36.81
addnode=82.6.77.126
addnode=106.187.55.212
addnode=81.202.104.33
addnode=84.200.17.178
addnode=88.204.169.242

If it compiled, then the yacoind binary should have dropped into the src directory where you ran the make command.

You should be able to run "./yacoind" in the directory you ran the "make" in.  It will complain that it needs some stuff added to yacoin.conf to get it started.

My yacoin.conf is mostly like yours except I left the ports at the default ports and don't have all the addnode lines.

I compiled the way it is mentioned in OP. I am getting this error:

error: couldn't connect to server

This is my config file:
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
addnode=82.211.30.212
addnode=78.21.9.49
addnode=88.204.169.242
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9323
port=7688
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1
genproclimit=8

Any ideas how can I fix it?

[mc_lovin]

You have the blockchain fully downloaded?

[far004]

You have the blockchain fully downloaded?

I dont think so. I cloned the git repository. Then followed the OP instructions. All I end up with is yacoind. Then I setup the config file and tried to run yacoind. This is the command I ran:

./yacoind -gen -genproclimit=1 -u xxx -p x

I am definitely missing something. I think I don't really have the wallet itself just the miner. Right? If yes, how do I install the wallet?

Edit: I think I figured it out...

Hi, does anyone know where the the coins get paid out to? I haven't seen anyone specifying an address for it. I'm new to solo mining altcoins

[sob317]

Thanks for the help in here, finally going.

[Scratch]

45Kh on an OC'd Q6600. Leave it overnight, see if it finds a block.

They'll just appear as transactions in the wallet with their own generated address.

[J_Andante]

Someone can explain to me how it is possible that there are people mining Yacoins at hashrates of more than 120,000 Kh/s when I with 8-core opteron have only got about 300 kh/s?

Proportionally would need about 400 8-core opteron cpus to reach that rate.

It is cost-effective to rent a cpu processing infrastructure (cluster) of those huge sizes to mine Yacoins?

Or is there some other way today (no gpu mining yet) to mine Yacoins?

Thanks.

[jimhsu]

There are in fact bored server admins with that many or more CPUs. And one could "easily" rent 800 x 2 Sandy Bridge xeons from amazon, though not cheaply ($100/hour or whereabouts?). So ... yea.

I would in fact do that, but I don't have that much spare change lying around. I suspect though at current difficulty and price you'd about break even or eke out a small profit.

[EnJoyThis]

What does this all mean?



{
"blocks" : 54458,
"currentblocksize" : 5976,
"currentblocktx" : 16,
"difficulty" : 4.97464635,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 71839,
"pooledtx" : 16,
"testnet" : false
}



I can figure out some of them but what is:
- Currentblocktx
- genproclimit
- pooledtx

Cheers and happy mining
