10,000 YACoin Bounty

[maklei]

I confirm, I have tried to mining many currency, BTC, LTC, PPC, NVC, .... But only YAC is given more than 200 YAC per day....

Well I think this site pretty much satisfies the bounty... what do you think St. Bitt?  Only problem is it has the wrong logo...

Yeah, I was thinking about changing it just today, but then I concluded it would be of no use and just cause a lot of confusion among potential new users (hi there, China!). That's because all the exchanges, coin price trackers and whatnot use the logo I have on my explorer, too.

[Beave162]

Nope  http://bter.com/trade/yac_btc

It will change eventually everywhere else, but in terms of your site, it is of course your decision.  I will make sure to put a logo clause in future bounties.

I don't think this is fullfilled yet.

There needs to be a way for a miner to find it's (rough) kh/s in YAC without actually having to mine YAC first.
We need to attrackt new people, not exclude them. Having said that I let Beave decide on this. I have no time.

I don't think that can be done?  I believe the memory requirement makes it too impractical to calculate yacoin h/s from scrypt h/s.  Anyone else have thoughts?

It doesn't have to be calculated or exact.

A few people posting how their specific card handles YAC compared to LTC would be enough. Just a hint for people that are not interrested in YAC itself yet. Once they started to mine some of them will think more about it and we get new members.

The current version of benchmake your card, calculating it yourself to the "junkcoins" who happen to be the most profitable and selling into a very illiquid market is asked far too much for someone that mines for money and not for YAC. He just doesn't care about the effords and go with an easier alternative....  

This doesn't help YAC if our miners make more money just because they have less competition.

I can definitely put up a table with hashrates of popular CPUs/GPUs, though I need the data first...
Another option is using that ybcminer's thingy that benchmarks hashrate for each Nfactor without having to be connected to YAC network. However, I was unable to make that work (unknown options, wtf).

EDIT: wasn't there a Yacoin wiki somewhere? We can start a page with mining hardware comparison similar to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison and everyone can edit it with their hashrates and settings!

EDIT2: Here you go http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison
Added all my hardware. Put a link from my calc.

I wrote a very small bit on the introducing article, but I wasn't able to do proper references so I didn't get much (actually anything worth mentioning) done. I have currently absolutly no time for YAC at all, but I hope the giveaway thread for promotion from Joe will get things done there.

I don't think writing a benchmark programm for YAC would help atm. There are far more important things to work on now.
(mining profitability is one of them)

Your time and effords on YAC are very important (and you really do deserve all your bounties to make you a fortune) for it, but this has to be magnitudes easier to access the mining profitability info for outsiders. I'm currently experiencing that a day doesn't have 50hr to work, although I would really need this time for my crypto investments to avoid most expensive mistakes...

Once you got to a point where someone could easy copy your data without knowing anything about YAC we could put up a little bounty for someone to make a decent hompage for YAC. That's found easier than someone that can handle yacexplorer.com and code on yacoin-qt.

I like the improvement.  However, you also need to include the NFactor change right?  The NFactor changes are fortunately more spaced apart, but in May, all the data will be obsolete.  Maybe add a column for the NFactor or just have a separate page for each NFactor?  The bounty will be sent your way once I get home Monday.  Thank you very much.

PS ugh the logo!

I think separate pages would be best - we can just copy the data to a new one and remove all the hashrate numbers, then let the community fill them in again.

Yay, got another CPU added! Would be nice if someone shared their GPU numbers, though.

Thank you very much, sairon!

Thank you, too!
And thanks to St.Bit, also!

[jdebunt]

just wondering, is there a bounty for sites accepting YAC as a payment method? I've noticed CoinPayments now also accepts YAC, so I could enable it on my site if there is a demand for it.... (my site is http://www.cryptogamekeys.com )

[procrypto]

Added my CPU details to the wiki earlier today, holding off adding my GPU (6870) until I know I def have wrung every last hash of performance out of it without 50%+ HW errors.

[procrypto]

Added my GPU details to the wiki now, really struggling to get any more performance out of this card while still getting 100% accepted shares. Hope this is useful.. it's a very common GPU so should help some people out.

cool, thanks!

why

[CarPro]

the YAC hashrate (by "hashrate / (0.5 ** (Nfactor - 9))" based on Nfactor doesn't yield acceptable
How to compute diff:

Code:

diff = hashrate / 2^32 * 60

ELI5?
