yeah, it's still too small

 I'm just typing this message to enlarge this thread )....

Now why on earth wouldn't you?

Alternatively, if you don't need/want uPnP in your client, then you can just omit it:

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

You don't seem familiar with the history.

We are not talking about any special exploit, it is just that while one is in there fixing the problem namecoin ran into, which Terracoin and Feathercoin recently also ran into due to not having already had the fix ahead of time, you might as well also fix the timetravel exploit.

If Terracoin's and/or Feathercoin's fix for the problem they recently experienced, that namecoin experienced before them so long ago, does not include also fixing the timetravel exploit while they are in there changing stuff, then they are simply setting themselves up to be hit by the timetravel exploit. Just like they set themselves up for what they just experienced, which is simple chain-hopping, the same thing namecoin experienced, the same thing nearly all the coins that existed back when namecoin experienced it promptly fixed so that it would not happen to them.

If Terracoin and/or Feathercoin left out the fix that would have prevented them suffering the way they did when chain-hopped, how confident can one be that they included a fix for the timetravel exploit?

So, again: chain-hopping has been known to cause what Terracoin and Feathercoin stupidly suffered, which is why almost all coins put in fixes years ago so they would not suffer like Terracoin and Feathercoin recently did.

Terracoin and Feathercoin are thus way late to the party when it comes to fixing chainhopping, they are NOT the only chains that have fixed it, they are the idiots that left out the fix in the first place.

Are they going to wait until they are attacked by the time travel exploit before fixing that too, or did they at least include the timetravel fix along with the chain-hopping fix like most coins did way back when most coins fixed chainhopping?

So I am running the wallet on Windows 8, I fired it up with the command to enable mining, I threw 4 threads at it off my i7 3630. Is there no output to display? Like hashrate or accepted/rejected shares? I know it's doing something because my temps shot up to ~170 F and my fan kicked into high gear.

Thanks  

sudo apt-get install miniupnpc

sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

Current reward is:

    {
        "account" : "",
        "category" : "immature",
        "amount" : 29.54000000,
        "confirmations" : 399,
        "generated" : true,
        (remainder censored)
    },

  what kind of error?

So - you guys mining on linux now, How much yac per block for 1 cpu?

Or just 'frantic land grab'

I've gotten it to compile, but it doesn't run. There is some error....

PoolMinor, read instructions carefully: the command is git clone
first install git: sudo apt-get install git

sudo apt-get install git
pm if you face problems

do:
# git clone https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin
# cd yacoin/src
# make -f makefile.unix

It seems that Windows binaries were set to produce 90% orphans from the beginning.... 
Only linux users had chance to mine with decent orphan rate...

Agree. I was talking about most creative people too. I planned to include some of my VPSes but Azure decided to cut my trials few hours before and I never thought about Amazon.

Even if I did I'd do it with Windows because I don't have a clue about Linux and failed, so yeah, it's not only about availability, it's about creativity, some knowledge etc... that's why I don't have bad blood about anyone who takes the chance and do great stuff. I do it too when I have a chance, on a level my resources make that possible, some other do it on higher, some other on lower level etc... it's a life.

should i just give up mining with my phenom ii 955?
