One does not simply mine Bitcoins

Yacoin is pretty awesome, the coin parameters and community are brilliant.
It's a shame it isn't more popular.

If only it had launched not as a fork but as a stand-alone coin written from the ground up, it would no doubt be one of the strongest coins.

Like essentially EVERY alt-coin in the world, Yacoin was forked from Bitcoin. However, YAC also ORIGINATED the scrypt-N (sometimes known as scrypt-jane) concept for the alt coin community as well. Every scrypt-N coin is forked from YAC.

There are probably ~10 - 15 alt coins ever released that brought something new to the table and Yacoin is one of them. That leads me to believe that our problem is lack of marketing, and also lack of participating in the nefarious plots that some other coins employ such as numerous fake accounts on BCT promoting (pumping) the coin between them, or doing the same thing on the exchanges (dumping). We'll continue to work on innovation and eventually the price will have to reflect that.

Pretty much...
Also, I suspect that the YAC community is incredibly small so far compared to other *coins.

Now, if only someone can take scrypt-chacha type PoW and use it in a brand new type of crypto technology coin unlike Bitcoin or CryotoNote protocol, then it would be unstoppable.

YACoin will be unstoppable. Just wait and see....

so, i'm writing the electrum-based block explorer myself now, mostly out of boredom (and also due to lack of volunteers).
the code is a major mess and still WIP (eg. no search box and no address handling so far), so consider this an early alpha preview.

http://yacoin.unsha.net/

PS: i know that i suck hard at writing javascript

That looks real nice! I throw my hat into the battle of the block explorers with my brand new super fast address balance
look up with transactions:

Thanks to Cypherious and YAChoarder on the yacoin forums, the YAC multipool bounty is now up to 100,000 YAC! At current prices, when converted, that is about $500 USD.

I received a PM that this may have been completed!

doesn't seem to be working atm

I'm not having any luck with it either...

fwiw, maxpower has updated the mac client of yacoin.

Yacoin, one of the few truly undervalued altcoins.

Keep up the great work, dev—it's not going unnoticed.

Great news thanks! Can someone verify that everything works as expected, and post the sha1sum of the version you used?

Aight, who bought all the way up to 3205 sat on cryptsy? Shocked

On an inappropriately off topic, someone buy my 5770s and R7 250 2gbs... http://forum.yacoin.org/index.php?topic=657.0

I am also interested in an 290x config - i cannot get it to hash YAC properly without too many hardware errors.

So if anyone is mining with 290x, share your config please.

ivan just posted settings for a 290 in this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475569.120

IMHO though, those cards don't have nearly enough memory to keep them busy enough to keep the shader pipeline humming along. All are welcome of course though

What makes you think so ?
We have MSI r9 290x with 4gb DDR5 on rigs with super fast 8gb DDR3 RAM.
We'have been mining very well MRC on scrypt-jane and some other n-factor coins until now.
But we have no settings for n-factor 14 and we cannot get it to hash properly with decent hash rate and little hardware errors.

I think ThirtyBird know a bit about why things are considering he wrote the current version of YacMiner.

Because 4 GB is not enough to occupy 2580+ shaders when each one requires 4 MB to solve. MRC has 1/4 the memory requirement of YAC.

I'm folding so I can't really stop without wasting a day's progress, sorry guys.

I'll try to do some testing on some other rigs, but it'll have to wait.

You can get something like 4-4.22kh/s without hw.

That's kind of odd - I worked with someone who had a 4GB Radeon 7850 and it turned in about 5 KH/sec. The 290x should be able to at least do that amount because can always use fewer shaders than you've got and run at a lower lookup-gap and --rawintensity...
