Official YACOIN Orphan Blocks Thread

[JimmyFL]

Stop spamming the forum. This is normal. Your processor is simply not fast enough to produce a NEW block => someone found it before you...

I just found it curious that you get almost all blocks and the rest of the miners get 90% orphans, so I made this thread.

We'll let the other users decide if this thread is worthy or not.

Cause he is using another client or mining with GPU, is part of the scam.

I'm mining just like you, with 2 Xeons (16 threads...)

6 hrs on i5-2520; 12 orphans. I think I was mining the wrong chain... when I copied wallet.dat to another PC I got some strang error and yacoin closed. I had to start with a new address...

[Hydroponica]

this is just a "curious" question,,,

 if someone had over 51% power and used this exploit - would this cause "mined blocks" to become orphans?

I think there's a thread somewhere outlining the impossibility of a single person obtaining and maintaining a %51.

5 orphans, 0 blocks found

This coin seems like a scam so far - who the heck got a million coins ??

All blocks? I have 161 block - 19 orphans => 142 block

(EDITED)

what miner are you using (the client?) and what specs (i know you wrote it in the other thread somewhere)

For the last time:

I downloaded the source from git, i compiled it for ubuntu 10.04, and use the command that is in the first post in the official thread: ./yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=16 -addnode=82.211.30.212

I have also a really good connection to internet >1Gbps

12 orphans/0 confirmed.

Stopped getting even orphans now - guess its time for me to pack up.

Just flashed 53 immature and then disappeared. So now its 13/0

[larkstongues]

where do you check whether you got an orphan block or not? yacoind is running in the background and I'm just occasionally checking my balance with ./yacoind getinfo.

Debug window - listtransactions

Go to console and type listtransactions it will tell you which found blocks are orphan.

Also you can check the "number of transactions" on the overview page, if you have say 5 transactions in there and  0 in the Transactions tab, then you have 5 orphans.

This coin seems like a scam so far - who the heck got a million coins ??

1 000 000 coins?

ATM there is +-20 000 blocks

(how many miner are mining? 500? average 40blocks/miner. Nothing special)

[iamalitecoin]

16 orphans 4 success

Update:

14 Orphans / 0 Valid Blocks

(how many miner are mining? 500? so its 40blocks/miner. Nothing special)

20.000 for 75 (the average between the beginning 100 and now 50) = 1.5 millons.

I'm talking about block, not coins => with 40block/miner => 3000 coins per miner => nothing special

[larkstongues]

Debug window - listtransactions

Okay, now I'm really scared. It lists most of the Transactions as "orphan". Please tell me the client automatically omits the reward for orphan blocks when calculating the balance

You said you had 270 blocks, thats more than half of blocks all the rest of forum had.

if you have the full valid chain already downloaded then yes it omits them.

You can easily count the non orphan blocks, multiply by 60 and compare with your balance.
