Everyone's complaining
and I'm just sitting here
mining blocks

No one cares. You are shit who attempted to rip off pocopoco code and launch half-finished YAC or even total clone of NVC yesterday, aren't you? Just STFU finaly.

I clearly stated that It IS his code
And it wasn't a clone of NVC, it was a very nearly finished version of YAC.



Also, what the f Huh is a Bitcoin Megastore doing in an altcoin thread

yeah my isp is crap, it does not allow me access to the router and upnp does not seems to work (litecoin client also has 8 and upnp is enabled).
For upnp supported routers there is the upnp port mapper written in java.

And for me, well while upnp does not seem to be working, NAT-PMP works, so what i did is set utorrent to use 7688 port, so it will map the 7688 port to my pc, it works but utorrent reset the setting every now and them as it keep tryiong to use a port that is already in use, so im looking other way of keeping the port mapped.

https://github.com/pocopoco/yacoin/blob/master/src/net.cpp

Change

static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 8;

to

static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 1000;

and recompile.



That's not gonna get you any inbound connections, and they count for more.

So people understand why it's a lot harder, about 14 hours ago the difficulty was 0.00028532, now it's 0.03302380 - 115 times harder.

It should ramp up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. I invested in YAC but it is not like I'm proud of it. As soon as price goes up, I'll sell all and move to some fair coin. I just
wish to see new altcoin where everything works well from the start, including starting difficulty. Maybe a pool or few as well, or even some actual use for the coin before it even
is launched. That would mark it serious altcoin.

As I understand it, it adjusts difficulty on a per block basis according to the network hashrate, what further difficulty adjustment would you suggest?

If it's low difficulty it's only because no one is mining it, if it's high difficulty it's because a lot of people are mining it. Completely working as intended as far as I know....

Do you understand that it should be 1 block per minute? Since YAC started it is like 1 block per few seconds, just sometimes it takes more for one to be found. That means
difficulty multiplier is not properly set, it does not react fast enough on hashrate being added or removed from YAC network. Ideally, difficulty should rump up fast enough to
have periods inbetween blocks similar to 3 seconds - 15 seconds - 30 secods - 60 seconds.

Yep I'm with you it should be 1 block per minute. I'm saying that as I understand it, the difficulty is adjusted per block. If that is true - how do you expect difficulty to ever adjust faster? There will always be variance in between blocks as hashrates are added / removed from the network. Not saying you're necessarily wrong, just thinking out loud.

Variance is almost irrelevant if altcoin uses mechanic as TRC is using, where difficulty is halved if block is not found after some amount of time. In case of YAC, that would be like
2 minutes. So, if difficulty goes like 3 - 15 - 30 - 60 seconds and than block is not found for 2 minutes, difficulty would drop to 30. 2 more minutes without block and difficulty drops
to 15 etc. With such adjusting it really makes no difference how much hashrate you add or remove, those miners who would stay would not have to wait too long to find a block.
and those with massive hashrate would not profit much from jumping on and off the chain.

Hmm I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. That method is fine for adjusting for sudden changes in hashrate that TRC was suffering, but that was caused by ASICs jumping on / off and leaving it stranded at high difficulties. The difficulty wouldn't adjust quickly because it couldn't get to a block to readjust. That isn't a problem with this coin, as the hash rate is fairly consistent (increasing). It also has the effect of difficulty moving around like a spastic child on red cordial, which I'm happy to avoid if we can. In this situation the difficulty adjustment mechanism is fine how it is.

You seem to be under the impression (or I'm misinterpreting) that the reason people are not getting blocks is because the difficulty is to high, like it's been pumped up and left stranded while people left. It's not the case, it's simply the fact that solo mining is hard, especially when people are used to pools, and they aren't used to hours without a block. If someone was mining litecoin in the same manner they wouldn't on average find a block for 116 days - but there is nothing wrong with the difficulty adjustment.

Does anyone know how to turn off uPnP in the client?

That's the only thing I can possibly think of that's limiting me to 8 connections (I have ports forwarded to router, and allowed in firewall)

K.
Even though the box is checked, it is greyed out because the binary was built without support for uPnP.  You must manually forward the port.  As a new bitcoin developer I know why he did this.  It is really hard to get dependencies compiled and included in the build.

Thanks for the info Smiley

I'm back to figuring out why I can't accept incoming connections. I have BTC wallet set up with ports forwarded, and that works fine. I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm not getting through with YAC.

The Orphans are caused by network latency, on your end, for what ever reason.If it was a problem with the client or coin, it would affect everyone. And frig off with the whole, closer to Germany thing. I'm in Canada. Doesn't get much farther from Germany.

The orphans are caused by someone mining a block that has already been solved (and will therefor get rejected). It affected a lot of people because blocks were being solved way to fast (versus the new block propagating through all the miners + latency).

And yet its still happening, even with difficulty way up...
