Yacoin - The Eco-killer

And, last I checked, you can't shove 4 CPU's into a single tower, so, we are talking an entire PC for each CPU...

That's not entirely true.  It would be true if you said you can't shove 4x consumer-level i7's onto a single consumer-level motherboard.  Finding a motherboard that'll fit a normal ATX case and holds 4 Xeon CPU's is not particularly difficult.

4 Xeon CPU's, to barely hit the hash rate, of a single 7950....That is certainly cost effective

What was the hash rate of your 7950 for scrypt+chacha/kekkac(32,1,1) again?

I just mine an actual, profitable alt coin, LTC...And my hash rate is 550 KH/sec

~650.
2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 = ~750.

Because you can only mine 1 at a time, yes?

Kinda an apples vs. oranges comparison then, eh?

Might that be equivalent to me saying my Radeon 5850's mine SHA-256 coins at 350MH/sec vs. your 7950 on scrypt at 0.55MH/sec and declare the 5850 the winner by several hundred times?

~650.

I assume you meant ~650kH/sec for scrypt(1024,1,1) rather than scrypt+chacha/kekkac(32,1,1)?

CPU mining of a coin is only inefficient if the difficulty is extremely high.

Some in this thread are showing extreme ignorance by comparing CPU mining of LTC, a coin with 400+ difficulty, to CPU mining of YAC, a coin with 7+ difficulty

In very simple terms that I hope everyone can understand It takes fare more kh/s right now to mint a single LTC , due to difficulty, than to mint a single YAC

You can't compare a coin that is mostly CPU mined, low difficulty, to one that is mostly GPU mined high difficulty.  Apples to Oranges

What you can compare is total joules needed to mine a YAC v to mint an LTC.  At present difficulties, I think YAC wins that battle because - in part - it is so new
