Topic: [ANN][YAC] YACoin ongoing development - page 162. (Read 379873 times)

The code I added to yacoind to produce the "networkhashps" info is only an estimate, and is based on spacing between solved blocks over a fairly short period of time.  There isn't a way to directly measure hash rate, the best we can do is estimate it.  Variability is capable of producing the swing you observed above.  From my own data collection process that keeps track of average block spacing, at this time my opinion is that there wasn't a sustained rise in (estimated) hash rate that would be outside the realm of variability.

Now, if the estimated hash rate jumped and then stayed at that level, that would be more interesting and much less likely to be just a variability-induced fluctuation in the way my hash rate estimation code works.

I copied a good portion of the hash rate estimation code from Litecoin.  Our (target) block rate is 2.5x faster than Litecoin.  Perhaps I should tweak the code to average the hash rate estimate across 2.5x more blocks than Litecoin does to try to smooth out some of these swings so we're at least averaging over the same amount of time.  Even Litecoin's hash rate estimate has some pretty wild swings due to variability.

you should go ahead and read a few pages back in this thread. This has been covered multiple times already.

How could anyone have an OpenCL implementation of scypt-jane?

I didn't think that was possible, not even theoretically.

Interesting, where do you see this 160Mhash ?

We are hitting n=512 in a couple hours, by the way.

I'm not that knowledgable on bitcoin. however I read this on a different thread:

"51% is real, back in 2011 it was more common on the alts. DoubleC was hit a couple a times on his exchange. Geistgeld 1 and Fairbrix were both 51% hit, so was the original Solidcoin and I belive I0coin several times"

I'm not sure if these 51% attacks were deadly or not. but Is there a worry about a 51% attack on yacoin?

this data from yacoind about 2000 blocks ago, or 30 hours ago:

 "blocks" : 72225, "networkhashps" : 103314719,
 "blocks" : 72419, "networkhashps" : 267124100,
 "blocks" : 72598,  "networkhashps" : 126571030,

Assuming not some error.

someone added 160k kh/s to the network to make up over 60% of the total hashes per second.
shows that someone has a OpenCl implementation of scrypt-jane and a GPU farm at their disposal.

Based on calculations in my head with the current YAC price at 0.0003 it seems more profitable than bitcoin (at least until difficulty adjusted - but maybe still then). why take it offline?

Maybe there could be the Amazon EC2 argument. this is possible but the person had to have an unrestricted account. because if you put up 20 (the limit) of the 88 ECU instances in all three locations. you get 60 instances of 250 kh/sec at n=256, which is only 15k kh/s.

the next closest instance rated at 26 ECU's would give around 60 kh/s. this type of instance I believe is unrestricted. but you would need 3,000 of these to reach 160k kh/s

How do I get network hash rate with yacoin-qt? That's the main reason I want it.

I don't think yacoind is needed, yacoin-qt can also run in server mode. You can check debug.log, and you'll find some log like POS CPUMiner started

Is there any upgrade in QT?

On the first point, I'd rather it all be in a single installer. I think we should definitely aim to keep the whole process as simple as possible (i.e. one installer to run over two).

As far as p2pools, I proposed that because with pushpools, there is the whole setup routine (register, set up worker, etc) that we avoid with p2pool. However, as you said, they can be a fast moving target. We have a few options here:

a. Hardcode it with the 3 or 4 most popular p2pools (via multiple -o options...so even if one or two go down, we're still good)
b. the script that launches the miner makes a web service call to a central service (on google appengine for example) that will feed back a "current" list of p2pool hostnames. From this, the command line arguments are constructed. Making such a web service would be trivial. The script could be created that a default, hardcoded list would be used if this webservice was down.
c. Achieve a similar effect to b above by using round-robin DNS (CNAME entries)...I don't know enough about p2pool to know if this will work...

Add this to the list of tasks to simplify in yacoin. Looks like it needs yacoind.exe under windows.

POS needs 30 days coins idle in your unlock wallet if I recall correctly. It's the same as NVC & PPC.

send your coins to some exchange, reinstall everything, send coins back home. Guess that should work.

I would just like to ask about Proof of Stake minting and the issue with locked wallets.
So I have been told that if you locked your wallet you cant receive proof of stale minting just as you can't receive proof of share minting while it is locked.
If this is true can someone tell me how to unlock my wallet and can someone work on fixing this issue please  

for those interesting with yac, please come here to mine http://yac.ltcoin.net

This is the newest one I know of.

Stupid question, related to this, have updated binaries off of WindMaster's build been released, or if I want to get an updated binary for Windows, I would have to compile it myself?
