I have a question,which pool is the best ?

I personally like yac.m-s-t.org but yac.coinmine.pl is popular as well.

Hello,
I do not understand why I am unable to use yacminer.

 -R 2560 -g 1  --buffer-size 2560 --lookup-gap 8

5*280x
1*7870
8Gb Memory

YACoin N=16 today!

you overrun your GPU's memory with these settings! (R= far too high)
Perhaps these settings work earlier with lower N value but really not with N16.
Look N tables what tell how much memory N16 need for one calc then you know what is perhaps ok R with lookupgap 8 and your buffer size (your buffer size is ok for 3Gb GPU's).

Also this may give some help http://www.ultracoin.net/configgen_raw.html
(remember select N16)

Btw...how fast hashing you expect with R9 280x with N16?

Many thanks, but buffer don't work 
What is the correct hashrate for 280x ?

If you have R9 280x  3Gb memory right buff value is normally (afaik) 2560  (least if system memory is enough! for whole rig)  but..   if lookup gap is 8 and -g1, your -R is far too high. Start tuning with low -R. (also you can try -g 2 but then agen other parameters need be related to it)   I will recommend (because problems)  that first run only with 1 to 4 r9 280x  connected to board and look how you can adjust it for work.

If I remember right it is far below 500hash/s for one 280x.

I use R7 240 4Gb and  Nvidia 750Ti's for YAC. (time when I test r9 280x there was too many difficulties and also (perhaps partially due to yacminer when pool diff drops below 1), high power consumption related to hashing speed.

R7 240 and Nvidia 750Ti beats it clearly (with N16, if N is lower situation turn very different)

Example: N14 chacha, My 4x750Ti rigs give around 12.5khash/s (some loss due to risers what affect with Nvidia but not with AMD radeons)   and  4xR9 280x give around 17.5khash/s.  But Nvidia use lot of less power related to hashrate.  With N16 situation is even more bad for R9 280x.

If it is even over 500h/s for one r9 280x then I still use these for YAC and immediately turn my R9 280 rigs to YAC  )

And with N16 it is fun but R7 240 4G start show its advantages. 0.35khash/s and  perhaps something like ~25W power (if moderate overclocked). (not system total power but card itself)




Add: just fast tiny test without any fine adjusting for best result. 250-260 hash/s one r9 280x, clocks e 1100  and m 1500 (changing m to 1600 did not give anything)

g 1, l-g 8, buff 2560, R 1260 (crash if try 1280) exept gpu 0 (display) what crash even with this but it can run with R 1220.
I did not test with g 2 or other settings. Rig have 4x r9 280x. and mobo is Asrock H81 BTC and 8Gb mem.

I think these are not optimal settins because same rig gan hash N14 chacha over 17khash/s.

I noticed that some peers consistently download the same block range from my client and after some checking it looks like those guys stuck on an old version and can't get past block 431490 or somewhere around:

Code:

[
    {
        "addr" : "125.64.23.171:2685",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1412762482,
        "lastrecv" : 1412762241,
        "conntime" : 1412729043,
        "version" : 60005,
        "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.7.2/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "releasetime" : 0,
        "startingheight" : 431490,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
    {
        "addr" : "220.248.232.101:41610",
        "services" : "00000001",
        "lastsend" : 1412762503,
        "lastrecv" : 1412762503,
        "conntime" : 1412751906,
        "version" : 60005,
        "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.7.2/",
        "inbound" : true,
        "releasetime" : 0,
        "startingheight" : 431047,
        "banscore" : 0
    },
]

Now the problem is that they are burning my bandwidth and my cpu (a lot of both!).
Though I think of myself as a generous person, I think they had enough.
If someone knows na easy way to disable communications with old version peers, I will be glad to hear (I have no problems implementing simple changes in source code and rebuilding client).
Or is there any blacklist parameter I could use?

Send me a pm and I will send you a few options.

In other news.. I am looking to buy 500,000 YACs. Send me pm with serious offers.

[aso118]

Is yacointalk down?  I haven't been able to get on at all today.

https://forum.yacoin.org/ works fine.  I think the yacointalk redirect that obermensch setup maybe is not working.

[Sahtor]

That redirect wasn't migrated to upgraded server. Old OS wasn't supported anymore and I had to clean stuff up. Yacointalk.com is working again but I don't own the domain or control it's DNS so it might go out anytime in future.

In other news.. I am looking to buy 500,000 YACs. Send me pm with serious offers.

A short while back I posted that I was interested in buying a megaYAC (1 million YAC), though serious offers definitely weren't what I received.  One person wanted 3x or 4x the going rate on Crypsty and BTER, and another asked for 10x higher than the going rate.

Did you get any actual serious offers to your inquiry?  I ended up just buying that amount on Cryptsy spread out over a bit of time, and then have mined another megaYAC (tm) in the meantime.

Haha, nope. I received one message from a 0 poster that I just deleted.

Would you be interested in setting up a mining contract? If not I will probably have to buy on the exchanges as well.

[WindMaster]

Thanks for asking, but naw, I think I'll continue mining and hodling everything I mine.  Shouldn't be too hard to snag 500K on Cryptsy if you're willing to spread it out over a few weeks.

OK thanks.

Joe and company, you can buy using a buy wall bot guys...you're coders *hint*
You'd need an exchange API and off you go.

I miss mining yac, got rid of all my r7 240s :/

My own coin is mostly mined now, but we're having trouble with the exchanges adding us (seems like they are all a bunch of corrupt scammers...)

It would be really cool if we could find a better way to deal with the trading side, I think that's a big flaw with altcoins (and Bitcoin) right now. Unregulated exchanges managed by shady people who only care to make a quick buck out of the bigger fool.

Does the Yacoin team have anything planned? It could be a nice addition, or maybe a partnership with the Invictus folks...

Anyway, I anticipate an altcoin surge after Bitcoin resumes the major uptrend trendline soon.

Hold on *tech noob here*.  How do I set up a bot to buy YAC?  It's been an intense process here consuming many hours of my day.

Cryptsy has triggers, which help you trade when you are not around.

If you need something more versatile, and you aren't experienced with programming you could try autohotkey

It's autokey on Linux:

Perhaps you can also give this a try - looks promising, though I haven't tried it:

There's more stuff, you don't even need to google a lot:

I've been using  CAT from sampey since it was released and it works pretty well. He also provides very good and ongoing customer support.
