Thanks! I added:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

But now I get
"make -f makefile.unix
g++ -c -O2 -msse2 -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -I/home/me/yacoin/src -I/home/me/yacoin/src/obj -DUSE_UPNP=0 -DUSE_IPV6=1 -DSCRYPT_KECCAK512 -DSCRYPT_CHACHA -DSCRYPT_CHOOSE_COMPILETIME -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -MMD -MF obj/alert.d -o obj/alert.o alert.cpp
alert.cpp:244:1: fatal error: opening dependency file obj/alert.d: Permission denied
compilation terminated.
make: *** [obj/alert.o] Error 1"

Any tips. Sorry, but still Linux noob here, but learning fast.

first
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Do: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Install openssl-devel

I got stuck at the makefile:
"me@ubuntu:~/yacoin/src$ make -f makefile.unix

How would a Linux noob like me continue? Thanks in advance

help->debug window->console and type listtransactions

LMAO=)

found a block in the last 8 hours, and it gets rejected! -.-

How do I see if I have accepted/rejected blocks?

We really need a pool, is anyone working on it?

Thank you, received . So wallet is fine, it is luck... Ah well, I never had luck, that is why I have many PC and waiting for pool .

i dont like the reward system, seems like its designed to keep network hashrate low, keeping away gpu miners and that make it too vulnerable to 51% attacks, also it seems to give an advantage to early adopters making the BTC problem even worse, lets say, in 5 months from now, who gona like to mine this thing?

Sent 1 yak.

Could someone pls send me like 1YAC to see if wallet is working? Address is YNrrVsQgkvvHmmsxG4vAwqehigzNra4bzw . I cant belive I am mining with all my power 1 hour and not one orphan still? 24PC on Intel 5300E (not 5400E like I wrote in todays post), 1PC with G630 (wallet&server running on that one) and my home pc i5 [email protected]. You have to admit this is some hashing power, if I am so unlucky and dont get a single block till morning I have to wait for some pool, cos electricity bill wont wait for me. I shall have to pay arround 2$ bill for that 8hr running PCs (they spend arround 110W mining YAC in wall). It could look funny, but in 30 days it shall be wasted 60$.

We seriously need a pool for this

could someone send a YAC to YDoNAtE2nWHo37jDq7tsP6hemLNLAMFpWY ? i'm testing vanitygen. I'll send it back

I don't recall ever hearing that Bitcoin did. The starting difficulty of bitcoin was high enough that testnet needed to be 1/16 the difficulty of main net in order for small numbers of machines to be able to do tests, because with the normal net's difficulty it would take more machines than testers usually used, or something like that.

When I first made prototypes of UKB, CDN, UNS, CZB, MBC, NKL, GMC and GRF I used the testnet side of the code so that players could have just one program and run it in bitcoin mode or altcoin mode, which would have whichever of those was the one their nation / clan /guild / whatever uses. Mining the genesis blocks took hours per genesis block, despite the difficulty being only 1/16 of the difficulty of the main net.

I think Litecoin began this whole instamining method of premining, they lowered difficulty to 1/4 of bitcoin's difficulty despite knowing many times as much hashing would be directed at litecoin on launch than had been directed at bitcoin when bitcoin launched.

The merged mined coins all have the same difficulty as bitcoin, I think, and also the reaction to altcoins was maybe not as eager back then, but I guess their difficulty was four times as difficult as Litecoin's, which we can see lately is massively too low. We should be multiplying the starting difficult 1024 or more times from bitcoin's initial difficulty, which would be 4096 times Litecoin's. And that might maybe make the launch of something like YACoin, which wasn't expecting GPUs instantly, from being quite as disgusting as it was.

For anything GPUs can mine we should assume several thousand GPUs instead of several thousand CPUs will jump on.

I guess most likely all the scrypt coins have used this scam, "justifying" it by saying that is how Litecoin did it before GPU Scrypt mining software was available. I am now getting curious as to what the starting difficulties of Tenebrix and Fairbrix (the first scrypt coins) were...

I don't remember the exact >> numbers offhand, I thought it was >> 32 for bitcoinj and >> 30 bit litecoin?

But these recent scams used >> 20, which is 2^10 less difficult than Litecoin's if litecoin's was in fact >> 30 ?

So litecoin barely hinted the direction, it is these recent ones that took it 2^10 further, maybe?

wow 150 pages 

I'm fairly new to the cryptocoin game.  Could you highlight some coins that DIDN'T do this on launch?  (Seems all the recent ones have, so I'm curious)
