Okay so last night a few hours after release I got to about 1000 Yac and decided to encrypt my wallet. Upon restart the client just would not mine. I restarted checked everything nothing changed. Here is what I did.. I just created a new user account on my pc called Mining. Closed out of my wallet on my main account and signed on to the new one. I then copied the yacoin folder onto the new desktop and started it up. It created a new wallet and I let it sync, closed it down and used the exact same .bat from my other account. Fired up perfectly. I got to about 600 Yac on this wallet and encrypted it. Same thing. Created a new user account and wallet and im good to go again. Obviously not a fix but more of a workaround. At least my other 2 are encrypted.
Hope this helps!
My third yacoin wallet lol Y2hXXoN6kPjFuc3QukEW9fT2NSpUpG819i
YAC is a PPC fork. PPC requires that encrypted wallet to be unlocked for minting (including proof-of-work mining). So you either don't encrypt the wallet, or unlock it. It seems that yacoind built is not supplied on windows for the public so unlocking wallet is a bit tricky, so your best bet is don't encrypt the wallet.
Thank you very much. Kinda a newbie so really appreciate the help. Good to see some senior members still like to help the new guys
I have never mined with the client before. Just used .conf and cg/cpuminer. I won't encrypt wallet # 3 then. Even though it is getting few and far between not even a stale in a few hours. I guess I wont be greedy and start to try to help promote the coin now. How long do you see cpu only mining lasting? Is it going to be as simple as a few changes to cgminer/reaper?
