[ANN][YAC] Yacminer GPU miner for Yacoin

[zezeze2013]

I try mining YAC with 7950 but i have only Rejected (target missed)  why

i use cgminer

i use cgminer

the same with me

[feeleep]

anyone have working settings for 5850 and 5870?

Here's what I use for a meager 34.5k per 7950:

yacminer --scrypt -w 256 -I 12 --lookup-gap 2 -o http://yacp.coinmine.pl:8088 -u myusername -p mypassword --thread-concurrency 41216

friggin N change...

[crendore]

So, correct me if i'm wrong here, but i thought the whole point of YAC was that at the current difficulty the GPUs should only be getting 0 H/s.

If the GPU miners are still doing better than the CPU miners, doesn't this completely invalidate the purpose of YAC?

I'm using virtually identical settings for the same hash rate.  I was able to run at I 20 before the change giving me 124k each, so this means I'm now running at just over 25% that I was at N11.  Even once the diff drops again, this will mean that I'll me mining half that I was before.  If I've done my maths correctly that will mean it will be more profitable to mine scrypt alts instead.  I'll leave it a few days to be sure, but I'm pretty sure that even though the GPU still works, it's not worth mining YAC with it anymore as its more profitable to mine something else.  IF you really want YAC, GPU mine another alt and trade for it.

What clocks/voltages?

Windmaster and mikaelh both said they see no reason why the GPU miner should not continue to work.

So YAC is just FUD and lies then. fuck this coin.

You are confusing the test code that was written for Reaper but never released or even had much time spent on it to try to resolve it.  That is what did not work at N=12.  CGMiner with mikaelh's OpenCL implementation that was released months ago was always going to work with whatever N is.  Some people who don't listen kept trying to perpetuate the MYTH that GPU miners would stop working.

please find another coin - reading is fundamental to knowledge.  Those who don't are happy to walk out the door oblivious and misinformed.

Yeah, earnings dropped half so I had to quit mining for now... sucks

What have i misread? The only thing that made Yac decent was the idea that after N = 9, GPU miners would be out of the picture.  But the truth is it has been getting owned from the start and continues to get owned by GPU miners. 

I have done my reading.  Perhaps you have not.  Or perhaps you have a GPU farm and don't give a shit about the idea of a CPU only coin.

How many more cpu only coins do you need? There are a half dozen of them at minimum... better that botnets rape them than those people who have GPUs right?

No, you don't. There is info in this thread about the fact that yacminer would also work for Nfactor > 12.
Your knowledge of this coin has some wrong assumptions.

Ok, i won't waste too much more of my time on your foolishness. But take a look at the original thread about YaCoin:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196196.0

This coin was marketed from the start as a GPU proof, CPU only coin. 

The fact that that is now invalidated, makes this coin just another scam coin like the rest.  And yes, i have read this thread, and it fully supports my argument.

You can read on the original thread :

Using scrypt(N, 1, 1) means that only solo cpu mining will work until someone will fork mining pool software or implement GPU miner. All existing miners (cpuminer, cgminer, reaper etc) aren't compatible. Yacoin Qt-wallet or daemon are to be used for mining.

I hate many things about YAC, but there is no such thing as GPU-proof. GPU are just general purpose ASICS. There is no coin that is GPU proof, there are just coins for which a GPU miner has not been created yet.

I'm using 7950 WF3s and they won't allow me to crank the TC past 24k, they just crash if I put them any higher. How are you guys managing to do that?

What are your settings/command string?
