Official YACOIN Orphan Blocks Thread

[ymer]

I think the problem is low difficulty and shit location of the main node, leaves almost all of us with very high pings, the ones with good pings are getting most of the blocks.

Technically speaking there is no main node, but almost everyone connected him because of the startpost.. If I'm not mistaking a group of miners with low latency could theoretically be at an advantage. So if a few ppl with high hashpower and good latency happen to be close together no one else stands a chance..

Yea this + it seems that the windows module is not optimized or something, relm9 ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196.msg2076277#msg2076277 ) reports very good results with 400KH/s and he's also on linux.

I've had the same issue on Windows with BitBar and CNC..

I think in my case it has something to do with the fact that a lot of QT clients are running on my Windows desktop. They all have a number of connections open to the different coin networks. If I do a

Code:

netstat -tan -p tcp

I get a shitload of open connections. Especially if you have uPNP enables this might hog your windows PC and maybe your internet router causing a lot of misery.

May I suggest you reboot your PC, restart your internet router and see how your latency is then?

Also, you might want to spend some time enabling CGminer for YaCoin.. If you are the first to do that, you might get rich ;-)

It sucks I can't do any of that now because I'm at work, I'm only checking my home miners with logmein, I don't want to reboot my router or my miners because if somethig goes wrong my GPU mining will be gone until I'm back from work.

Lol Ymer, I know that feeling.. I was at work this afternoon when YaCoin was released.. Had to install the daemon thru ssh on my iPad..

Windows, 30 KH, 1 block 2 orphans

[megablue]

25+ orphans, only 9 accepted

given that most of us has much lesser, 9 accepted is pretty damn good number... how much more do you want?

[seleme]

12 orphans, 0 good.

Mining stopped, YAC can burn in hell 

[JimmyFL]

8 cores
200k h/s avg
1 orphan

mining for 1+/- hours

ATM it's 100% normal

[juhakall]

5 orphans & 5 valid blocks after about 4 hours of mining with 3 threads on an i5-3570. gethashespersec shows that I'm hashing at about 100-200kh/s.

I tried cpuminer, but it only hashed about 40kh/s on a much faster CPU. After reading a bit it looks like only the yacoin client can be used to mine ATM.

[xthestig]

Being mining this through the client all day and a brief period using cpuminer. 20 blocks all orphaned. No point having a CPU coin protected from gpu's if the people with the CPU's cant bleeding get them lol. Back to CNC for me

[gotforce]

Been mining for about 5 hours now, 1 orphan (mined whilst block chain was updating, so expected) and 0 valids :/ On about 100kh/s and have 53 active connections to the network.

[fenican]

Giving up on this one.  Obviously, not a coin for the masses - good if you have access to a large server at a University or other backbone connected node

[thaile4ever]

5 Valid/ 19 Orphans

Hash rate ~ 50-100kh/s    (only using about 50% of my processor)

8 connections.

ping to start node ~130ms.

[ampbuster]

26 orphans 0 valid :/

[Peleus]

Getting about 70% valid, 30% orphan.

[etbbtc]

1cpu  i3  12 orphans 0 block   for 12hours

[DryPowder]

Only a few can mine this shit, i try whit my 3 xeons and 2 FX-8 (900 khs) and only find 1 block and hundreds orphans in 11 hours, I configure properly the client and mi connection.  Man !!! 

[KrLos]

10 blocks -2 orphan, mining almost 18 hours so far.

Windows 8 Pro - AMD phenom II x4 955- using 2 cores.

12165 Hashes per second - Time = ~200 ms

[kochmann799]

3 blocks, 2 orphans I have an intel pentium b970 with two cores and two threads, hashrate jumps between 2000 and 30000
(i found my only block in first 30 mins...then nothing)

[limitless]

lots of blocks, even more orphans lol

[kochmann799]

FUCKING HELL! I JUST GOT ANOTHER FREAKIN ORPHAN so its 3:1
