Many Scrypt coins are dominated by FPGA miners. Feeling sad? No more!
Yacoin is THE coin for you!
FPGA mining non-existent, GPU mining becomes less and less profitable each Nfactor change.
Now you can finally put that CPU of yours to a good use! Also, only a few people mine Yacoins, so there's really
small competition and quite
high rewards!
With exchange rate of YAC skyrocketing in the past days, the
profitability is over 1000% of Litecoin (depends on your hardware, though). Mind you, the most profitable vanilla Scrypt coin has
only 350% profitability of LTC. Yes, the numbers are right.
There's a mining profitability calculator where you can check your daily earnings in YAC, LTC and BTC if you know your hashrate for each of t hese coins/algorithms. The hashrate ratio between YAC and LTC can vary significantly due to CPU cache size and/or GPU local memory size. You can expect 1/60 to 1/70 of your LTC hashrate as a "rule of thumb" (at least for CPUs - as that's what this coin is meant for) if you don't want to benchmark your hashrates first.
We also have a wiki page with mining hardware comparison at
http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison (yes, it's quite slim at the moment - feel free to add your own hw and hashrates).
For example, with one of the CPUs listed on wiki, you can get 0.3 kh/s with YAC and around 18 kh/s with LTC (giving a ratio of 60). Plugging these numbers into the calculator yields:
YAC/LTC profitability: 1149.38%
YAC Mined per day: 20.33 YAC / 0.00365962 BTC / 3.94 USD
LTC Mined per day: 0.01 LTC / 0.0003184 BTC / 0.34 USD
Cool, huh?
