[ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development

[Beave162]

I picked up 125K YAC on Cryptsy so far today, so I'm 1/8th or so of the way there. 

Nice!   

Don't encourage him. You cherry-picked my buy order. Did you pump it to 0.00003? Just for fun?

Fun it was!  I probably made a lot of people on the sell side happy for a while, I bet they're not complaining.  Just nudging YAC prices a bit toward where they "should" be, even if just for a short while.

so, i'm writing the electrum-based block explorer myself now, mostly out of boredom (and also due to lack of volunteers).
the code is a major mess and still WIP (eg. no search box and no address handling so far), so consider this an early alpha preview.

PS: i know that i suck hard at writing javascript

Nice job on the explorer.

But what are the advantages of electrum-based explorer over the old explorer?

Could someone share config for 290x?
And how much is the expected hashrate?

Thanks in advance.

[shango]

I am also interested in an 290x config - i cannot get it to hash YAC properly without too many hardware errors.

So if anyone is mining with 290x, share your config please.

IMHO though, those cards don't have nearly enough memory to keep them busy enough to keep the shader pipeline humming along.  All are welcome of course though

[ivanlabrie]

I'm folding so I can't really stop without wasting a day's progress, sorry guys.

I'll try to do some testing on some other rigs, but it'll have to wait.

You can get something like 4-4.22kh/s without hw.

That's kind of odd - I worked with someone who had a 4GB Radeon 7850 and it turned in about 5 KH/sec.  The 290x should be able to at least do that amount because can always use fewer shaders than you've got and run at a lower lookup-gap and --rawintensity...

fwiw, maxpower has updated the mac client of yacoin.

Yacoin, one of the few truly undervalued altcoins.

Keep up the great work, dev—it's not going unnoticed.

What makes you think so ?
We have MSI r9 290x with 4gb DDR5 on rigs with super fast 8gb DDR3 RAM.
We'have been mining very well MRC on scrypt-jane and some other n-factor coins until now.
But we have no settings for n-factor 14 and we cannot get it to hash properly with decent hash rate and little hardware errors.

Because 4 GB is not enough to occupy 2580+ shaders when each one requires 4 MB to solve.  MRC has 1/4 the memory requirement of YAC.

I think ThirtyBird know a bit about why things are considering he wrote the current version of YacMiner.

Aight, who bought all the way up to 3205 sat on cryptsy?  

On an inappropriately off topic, someone buy my 5770s and R7 250 2gbs... http://forum.yacoin.org/index.php?topic=657.0

Thanks to Cypherious and YAChoarder on the yacoin forums, the YAC multipool bounty is now up to 100,000 YAC! At current prices, when converted, that is about $500 USD.

Great news thanks!  Can someone verify that everything works as expected, and post the sha1sum of the version you used?

I received a PM that this may have been completed!

I'm not having any luck with it either...
