Hi BitMega. I've had..
server=1
rpcuser=forsetifox
rpcpassword=coins
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=7687
maxconnections=24
In my yacoin.conf since the beginning. Adding "gen=0" will make it start to mine PoS blocks?
My CPU is at 1-2% usage right now. Doesn't seem to be working. =/
Topic: [ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development - page 122. (Read 380091 times)
Hm.. I've had coins in my wallet for 34 days and no PoS blocks made yet. Is there something I need to do for that to happen?
It's the DB. NVC is currently at 42081 and PPC is at 69666.
8 connections are plenty if you're not a pool or a miner. I once tweaked the node on my block explorer server to have as much connections as possible (it was hovering around 130 IIRC), but I saw no actual benefit, so I closed the port in firewall and allowed only outbound connection (thus reducing the chance on potential attackers).
Network can't exist if everyone allow just outbound connections.
More connections = more block requests from peers = more I/O load on my server = higher upkeep cost for me. I'm assuming he meant a user-friendly clicky GUI thingy. 
Not sure why that feat is removed in the first place? 
BTW, we should really switch from BerkeleyDB to LevelDB... These client start-up times are driving me crazy.
transactions far exceeded any other cryptocoin I never experienced as long startups as with YACoin. Most LTC and NVC "clones" start much
faster than YACoin as well. Is there some kind of tool that could monitor what exactly is YACoin doing for those 6+ minutes at it's startup?
Some code references:
* https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/blob/master/src/init.cpp#L671 (the comment in particular)
* https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/blob/master/src/db.cpp#L824 (IIRC the slowest part of the code)
* https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/blob/master/src/db.cpp#L642 (some heavy-weight sanity checking, IIRC the second slowest part)
* https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/blob/master/src/db.cpp#L884 (maybe [but I'm really just guessing] this might be also a fairly slow operation, especially as the number of coin stakes will grow)

Online/offline status is not (yet) included. However, I doubt it will be of any use as it is constantly changing, so I'm giving this a very low priority.

Cool maps there!
As a sidenote, I have YAC, XPM and BTC clients running on my computer, each with maxconnections=32 in .conf file. After 12 hours or so, the
situation with number of nodes connected is usualy something like listed bellow.
YACoin - 32 connections
Bitcoin - 24 connections
Primecoin - 12 connections
No idea how to properly interpret that data though. One of the reasons why YACoin gets so much more connections could be the lack of UPnP
with Coin Control versions (which I solved using PortMapper), e.g. nodes that connect to network after my node went online need to connect
to other nodes to complete syncing but due to Coin Control nodes not being able to accept connections it is my node that ends up "slammed".
FYI, I'm located at Eastern Europe.

Also, the code is smart enough to connect to different subnets to minimize the risk of connecting to "bad" nodes (eg. someone could spam your peer list with nodes that he controls - and they will usually fall into the same network subnet). So you might just happen to be one of only a few nodes in that particular network "area".
Sorry if this has already been asked, but what is the most up to date YAC wallet now? Also, I remember reading a while ago that a new wallet is being developed with control over individual sending addresses. Is this still in the works? I'd like to tip the dev team, which direction should I throw that to?
If you want to download prebuilt windows binary of Yacoin-QT with CC included (and the Yak logos, LOL), I've created this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annyac-coin-control-for-yacoin-is-here-first-altcoin-with-coin-control-276948Please report any bugs you find (but I hope there are no more bugs). You can send tips for the Coin Control to me.
Out of curiosity, what is this saying that suggest an attack is going on rather than just people mining? I'm new to cryptocurrencies.
As an attacker you mine on your own chain for a while (without broadcasting it to all the others), then suddenly add your blocks and so overrule the legit chain. All transactions on the legit chain while that period will be reversed so you can buy stuff without actually loosing coins.Code:
11.9.2013 16:54:36 REORGANIZE: Connect 1 blocks; 00000007c5835b4968bd..547db4922a8b8e71ff85
My node switched to "~15 blocks remaining" mode, e.g. not synced, so it was not just ordinary PoS "overtake". Only after 15 more legit blocks
were found node went to synced mode.
Very cool google map view. 
YACoin has some of the best developer support around despite its low price.

I like the distribution, but there are still far too much free areas. Has anyone heard about someone doing this on bitcoin?
I'm assuming he meant a user-friendly clicky GUI thingy.

PPC and NVC were not intended to be CPU coins.

Hi all, I have had a question I've wanted to ask for a while now. Is there a way of knowing how many active nodes/wallets are operating on the network? Has there been much fluctuation in the number of active wallets?
Determining the number of active nodes should be possible by either forcing your client to connect to an unlimited number of nodes and waiting a long time (Code:
Flushed 13214 addresses to peers.dat 114ms

I also was curious if there was any plan of including a minor into the wallet, kinda like feathercoin wallet does, I think it would a be a great idea for people starting that is not too tech savvy and wanted to participate in CPU mining. Thanks
But there is already CPU miner built-in all wallets. It is not as sophisticated nor it kickass as standalone CPU miner but it hashes! To run
it, start YACoin wallet with -gen parameter and eventualy add -genproclimit=X where X is number of CPU cores you want to mine with.
To mine with just one CPU core use:
Code:
yacoin-qt.exe -gen -genproclimit=1

This is on my TODO list, so it might get implemented, eventually.

And there was one more story with EcoCoin dev e-mailing me concerning my changes to Abe block explorer. Funny as hell!

Also, some crapcoin is copying my source changes for Coin Control!
IMPORTANT!
Stop using the published versions of Yacoin with Coin Control - there's a critical bug when NOT selecting a custom change address (the new change address is not reserved from keypool and thus your coins disappear forever). Fixed in recent git commit, updated binaries coming soon.
So you have fixed this bug in github source too? We are considering to add this in ZcCoin.

The latest stable (non coin control) wallet is here: https://github.com/yacoin/yacoin/releases/tag/stable_0.4.0 This is what you should use with your main wallet.
Coin control should hopefully be added to the next stable release after some more testing is completed.

It is already aviable, but there will be some code checking bevor it will be the "official" version. I belive it's good to go, but that's your call. I'd wait for the new official version if you got a lot of kYACs otherwise go for it.
