It could be you are on abandoned fork or GPU mining, though.
I really hope not
I just cloned the source from git and compiled it (1h after launch).
Send some small amount here to check it:

Just another noob question: I've just startet the client using "yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=1 -addnode=82.211.30.212"
Where can I see the mining process?

See help section of wallet - console - "help"for commands. But your Windows (?) task manager should also let you know that your CPU is working hard or not!
why wont my qt mine? i used the command in OP
Not fast enough since you are obviously getting blocks every few seconds, LOL! It should be 60 seconds if only you are the only miner out there.
ATM I'm getting +-1block/5minmmm doesnt seem to be about luck your getting alot and other people are only getting ophans...
Meh, he is either bullshitting or he found some exploit to mine with gpus. No chance he can get that mining with client when loads of people get f'all.
+1
That such high rate is not normal unless you are BOTNET master, supercomputer admin or something along those lines. Or connected to wrong fork.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that it's the good fork
Just a normal super-admin
Haven't exactly mined before. I start the wallet within a command prompt with the following parameters: "yacoin-qt-2013-05-08>yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=1 -addnode=82.211.30.212" and it yacoin starts up just fine, though I have no idea how to see that it is mining. Am I missing something?
Check the Help section of the wallet. Open console/debug window and type help for all possible commands.

Yeaaah...
Mined 2000 in the first two hours, now I'm getting 1 block every hour or so 
Whats your rig? I haven't found a block in hours with my i7 
I5 2500K oc'ed to 4.8 - I think this is all about ping, the better your bing the more likely you'll be to get a block before someone else.

Check the CPU usage of yacoin-qt. There is no real visual confirmation that it's mining and with the difficulty being up considerably (factor 20 from when I started mining), you can't expect to see new blocks pop up in the wallet very often.
Well, at 80kh/s, 20 minutes and nothing. I guess its too short, after 4 hours I will most probably shut it down if I get nothing but orphanes or no blocks.
I live like 5 km from the border of Germany, so that shouldn't be a too big problem.

I wonder how many people own those >1 million YACs...
Over 8 hours of mining on i5 and only 12 orphans... :/ Feel free to feed them: Y7tKGp1x5ZDXPWmfKHMpTdnknqvApvfGhp

few of them, like with any other new coin

Where can I see the mining process?
Where can I see the mining process?
could someone (not just the dev) being doing something malicious.. that's why we are getting so many orphans? i heard a long time ago about some "tricks" which can cause this?
or.. is it that people are using "better" miners they have compiled themselves
They can occur naturally when two miners produce blocks at similar times. or.. is it that people are using "better" miners they have compiled themselves
Here is the code that calculates N (which determines memory and CPU difficulty).
So, why the hell is there a setting of 4 for before mining starts?
After that, some number between 0 and 255 that is a function of time.
unsigned char GetNfactor(int64 nTimestamp) {
int l = 0;
if (nTimestamp <= nChainStartTime)
return 4;
int64 s = nTimestamp - nChainStartTime;
while ((s >> 1) > 3) {
l += 1;
s >>= 1;
}
s &= 3;
int n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;
if (n < 0) n = 0;
if (n > 255)
printf("GetNfactor(%d) - something wrong(n == %d)\n", nTimestamp, n);
unsigned char N = (unsigned char)n;
//printf("GetNfactor: %d -> %d %d : %d / %d\n", nTimestamp - nChainStartTime, l, s, n, min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor));
return min(max(N, minNfactor), maxNfactor);
}

Got 12 orphans till now; and no confirms
If any of you kind folks who have a lot send a few my way please

Whats your rig? I haven't found a block in hours with my i7 What causes orphans? High hashrate machines?
Finding a block that doesn't end up becoming part of the chain. Aka, orphaned.

my miner stops - no longer getting blocks - at 25 transactions???
It's the difficulty, just wait
there is something else going on - the load on my CPU is "0%". It's not even doing anything
Same here
LOL methinks this is a jokecoin then. I just created a new wallet and it's mining again. It seems this miner by DEFAULT stops at 25 transactions. WTF?!??!
Should be called orphancoin
