[ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development

[bitdwarf]

Anyone have an update on what this NFactor change has had on GPU miners?

GPUs are still working but I see like 1/3 of hashing performance. The miners at yacp.coinmine.pl have taken quite a hit, nobody is doing over 1 Kh/s, but I suspect most of them have suboptimal configurations.

My hashrate for YAC has gone from about 7.5kh/s to 1.9kh/s. So, about 25% of the previous rate.

BTW guy's the Pool.yacointalk.com is up again. and this time i run it without any partners =)

Working on cleaning up the forum now and the design. also trying to get the greedi open source faucet to work with Yac =)

Is there a new wallet out that calculates POS in a different manner than the original wallet. I have noticed that in the past, PPCoin and YACoin would generate a POS by splitting the original coinage into two and adding the new coin amount minted in the POS to the two halves. Lately I have noticed that there is a new type of POS minting that does not split the coinage in half, or into two. Where can I get a wallet like that? It would be great cause it would not split up my coins anymore when POS is generated. Thank you all, Love you YAC!!!!

The wallet also joins coins, not only splits them.
Also, splitting is good when you actually want to USE your coins (so you don't waste much coin-age when you have 100k YAC and want to send just 1 YAC somewhere).

I finally managed to write some economical thoughts on YAC.

Been away for a while and still holding YAC! Can anyone give me an honest opinion on the future of this coin and how widespread its use currently is?

Thanks

Use is currently not existant, but my full response is at:

New win binaries available (this time with UPNP support) at https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwa2lymjl6igh6q/yacoin-cc-latest.zip
It's a a snapshot of Joe's git master branch, along with my coin control changes and whatnot. It merged without issues, so hopefully it'll work.
Took me more than 5 hours, got a terrible headache from that windoze crap
Also, I've made a compiling write-up for wannabe builders, available here: https://github.com/saironiq/yacoin-cc/blob/master/WIN_BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.txt
Here's hoping I won't accidentaly delete the build VM again...

New Windows binaries are also available for testing https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/testing_0.4.1-b . This is the version with coin-control, the new logos and numerous other enhancements. Please try it out, and if no issues (note, this will still take a VERY LONG TIME to open - maybe click yacoin-qt.exe and watch LOTRTROTK  )  I will merge to master in the next few weeks.

P.S. I was hoping to fix the absolutely unacceptable start up time before moving to 0.4.1, but even with LevelDB (next) it still seems to take too long to open, so please bear with the
startup time until we can fix it for 0.4.2.

Darn it's still not reasonable to CPU mine. Looks like it won't be for at least another n factor change.

Does anyone know the best program to CPU mine with right now?  I have minerd... I can mine on yacp.coinmine.pl with it, but the program keeps crashing when I try yac.coinmine.pl.  It is very strange.

Try yac.coinmine.pl on port 8080 and let me know if its working...

BTW - someone skilled should update cpuminer to latest code with startum support...

It is working now!  Thank you so much feeleep.  btw is the 173.841 MH/s network hashrate accurate?!?

hmm - of course no - multiplier is wrong

[sairon]

current network hashrate is around 1.3 Mh/s

Not sure, but I think that the wallet shows wrong info.

Also, I've added a donations progress bar on my block explorer with dynamic server cost per month converted from USD to BTC to YAC (LOL). Right now it sits at around 5750 YAC per month needed to keep the server running (I pay around $20/mo). So far got 0.94 YAC in donations this month, so feel free to donate some!

Someone pleeeease tell me how to mine this coin stratum-style (CPU)...

It doesn't add it up right. Should be 2053,85 donated so far this month, but it shows 2052.91 so far.
In a few weeks that's probably enough to pay for more than just a month ...

Keep up your great work.

I wish

Nice write up on the economic side of YAC St. Bit, appreciated that link.

New fun little yacoin design 

[bitdwarf]

I dig that, looks very commercial.
