[YAC] YACoin - GPUminer - worth the price?

[peacefulmind]

Do you think the YACGPUminer they are selling on the onion "market" is worth the price?

Performance seems inconsistent from demo - obviously still much better than even a multiple-CPU farm.

Would appreciate feedback from those using it - how long has it taken to make back the BTC spent?

link?

price?

link plz...

as far as im aware there is no scrypt-jane for gpu atm

[peacefulmind]

come on you all know where to look -

i don't want to get banned for direct linking to a market that sells lots of things that could get you in trouble - if you don't know where to look then you probably can't tell me if price is worth it - seems VERY high.

appears to be modified cgminer?  thoughts?

scam

[fenican]

Guessing scam.  If they had one, they would not sell it but rather would just milk it for mining profits

So then why coinchoose deleted Yacoin?

So then why coinchoose deleted Yacoin?

Maybe because they couldn't quantify it? They were basing the price on Bter.com but were calculation the profitability solely on block reward and difficulty as if the hashing was normal scrypt and not scrypt-jane.

In other words: IF a GPU could hash YACs, and IF the rate for scrypt-jane was equal to normal scrypt, then coinchoose's 400% made sense. But neither of those IFs are currently true though and even if someone eventually makes a GPU miner there is no indication that for example a 7950 which gets 600Kh/s would the same hashing scrypt-jane.

Coinchose and all other profitability websites are totally flawed. There is no way to calculate real profitability unless number of new coins per hour is taken into consideration.

All coinchose does is tells you that if the prices remain the same as they are and if the difficulty remains the same, then which coin is most profitable to mine. (It does take into accoint the reward and the difficulty). What these sites do not and probably cannot account for is the fluctuation in the exchange rates.
