[ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development

[Joe_Bauers]

Lots of very cool developments in the last 2 pages!

I've had some suggestions on the website, and I thought I would make it easier for everyone to contribute, so I added a repo for
 yacoin.org    https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin.org

Am excited to get started mining on this hopefully this weekend when my new graphics card comes in. Any place other than here to chat about yacoin?

perhaps another link to add to the announcement post. I feel like too many links wouldn't really be an issue...

Hello Yacoiners

Any eta on block explorer?

Knock knock, anyone here?

Do you guys gpu mine this efficiently? Or only for sports

Yes,

block explorer - just need to PM sairon.  I see it's erroring, which is frustrating sometimes.

GPU mine efficiently - two words "hell yes".  I'd tell you how profitable it is, but I would rather you be a buyer of it than a miner

Mine... Hold... Mint stake with CHECKBOX

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd place prizes are going up in USD ($85 in USD worth of YAC for 1st place for a meme now).
I want more memes!

WindMaster, can we get an update to the main post? At least give ThirtyBird his credit.

I haven't chimed in for a while. This single thread form of communication is ... so ...
how should I put it ... primitive! Hehe.

I've been busy with an exciting enhancement to the QT client I hope will get good reviews!
It started with a "I wonder if would be possible to...." and then boom. I figured out how
to do it. "It" is a new balance column in the transaction view that actually reports the
correct balance! It's running great now, so people with their own builds and good backup
habits please give it a try and let me know your feedback.

Have a look at my post:

Check out the pull request:

Or merge from my branch:

And one more thing:

Groko does not pump and dump. Groko asks everybody to
JUST SAY NO to pumpin and dumping!!!

LOL. We need to get a spell checker in that message signer.

Looks great. What "bogus transactions " for example ?

I'm not sure their exact origin. But I suspect they are mostly related to mining (PoS and/or
PoW) where transactions that were supposed to be deleted due to orphanage were not
deleted. I also suspect I had situations where I had two or more clients with copies of the
same wallet making PoS blocks simultaneously. There was also that period of time when
PoS mined blocks would get automatically orphaned because of the new trust rules automatically
orphaning PoS blocks that follow right after other PoS blocks. Whenever a transaction fails to
get deleted it becomes permanently inserted into the wallets cache of transactions. I discovered
you can erase all cached transactions without loosing the important stuff like the wallet keys and
account names. The block chain is after all the real master record of valid transactions.

Oh how I hate ubuntu... I guess it broke after I updated some packages. Will fix it in a bit.

As far as making the explorer faster goes, well... It's not an easy task as the Abe block exporer source code is a nightmare performance-wise. There's no proper caching, everything is recalculated from raw data on every single page load. Adding caching proved fairly difficult as the code is just not modular enough, so I kinda gave up.

I dont know squat about python, but isnt there any simple way to memoize?

Edit: Seems fast enough for me Will add YAC later today.

Various tweaks merged to the first post.

Are you running it under FASTCGI ?

https://github.com/lirazsiri/blockexplorer might be another choice.

GPU mine efficiently - two words "hell yes".  I'd tell you how profitable it is, but I would rather you be a buyer of it than a miner

I ran some numbers and I just cant see it. Even if you get 6khash from 1000khash scrypt equiv.(what I doubt), you are still going to get 0.003 as opposed to 0.005(VTC).

Am I missing something?

Speed is not linear...I get 2.5kh/s out of a 80usd gpu with yac.

I get 2.7KH/sec out of a 130 KH/sec scrypt card and 2.9 KH/sec out of a 110 KH/sec scrypt card.  Both rigs together with 8 cards would be 1MH/sec scrypt (maybe), but together get 21KH/sec on YACoin.

Crazy. So 270x and nothing "better". Prolly some 750ti love too.

Only 270x 4gb, 2gb is a bit mediocre...750 ti 2gb is amazing :p

I'm glad you put "better" in quotes. R7 240 and R7 250 (2GB and 4GB)--these cards are more accessible as they are cheaper and less percentage of your revenue goes to electricity.
