Hey, guys!!

November now. Is anyone in austrslia mining yacoin?

I don't want this lovely little coin to crash.
mail me a [email protected]. I will buy your yacoin in aus dollsts.

Most of the time it reads 0 h/s? How do I get an accurate read on how its actually doing?

why can't i mine from my laptop to this?

help please or sell rope + bridge for 0.5btc

edit: solo mining with client is fine.. i want to add my laptop

Hey Dragon2nd.

Once again thanks for the donation. I will send the donation you made through to one of the admins of the yacointalk forum.

Pleasure. I hope YAC will succeed to some extent.

still profitable mining YAC using EC2?

Negative, it stopped being profitable mining with Amazon EC2 several days ago. That's when everyone opened up and dumped all their info on how to set up Amazon-hosted YAC mining clusters, after it was no longer possible to do so. Vycid went as far as posting a tutorial on how to do it.

Currently, I think prices are teetering at the point where mining with clusters of (owned, not rented) Xeon servers is break-even to marginally profitable if you have cheap power. I intermittently still run between 20 and 30 servers with 2x Xeon E5450's as needed to test solo mining while I work on testing and improving the YACoin client. I have to throw quite a bit of hash power at it to solve blocks in a reasonable time for testing any changes to the code that might impact solo mining. For example, right now I have a bunch of servers running to test whether cpuminer correctly continues mining (solo, connecting to yacoind rather than a pool) across the scheduled changes in N without a restart.

Nice~
So I guess we'll only have publicly announced GPU miners for YAC after they are no longer profitable.

I ran one cc2.8xlarge for two hours, just for try, and got 750kh/s.

You got 30Mh/s? How many instances launch? 40? $2.70*40*48h = $5184? --> Are you crazy? or I'm wrong?

Does any of those services accept BTC or LTC?

Nop. I only know amazon ec2 service. I mined with one instance of cc2.8xlarge for $2.7/hour.

Someone can explain to me how it is possible that there are people mining Yacoins at hashrates of more than 120,000 Kh/s when I with 8-core opteron have only got about 300 kh/s?

Proportionally would need about 400 8-core opteron cpus to reach that rate.

It is cost-effective to rent a cpu processing infrastructure (cluster) of those huge sizes to mine Yacoins?

Or is there some other way today (no gpu mining yet) to mine Yacoins?

Thanks.

Yes. I ran a 30 MH/s cluster for 48 hours myself. There's a few other users on here who have come out and said the same. I made a step-by-step guide so other could do it too: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yac-illustrated-step-by-step-guide-to-starting-your-own-aws-yac-server-farm-201918

The people mining now likely own the infrastructure, have botnets, or have access to serious power (like graduate students at universities, probably)

What does this all mean?

{
"blocks" : 54458,
"currentblocksize" : 5976,
"currentblocktx" : 16,
"difficulty" : 4.97464635,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : true,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 71839,
"pooledtx" : 16,
"testnet" : false
}

I can figure out some of them but what is:
- Currentblocktx
- genproclimit
- pooledtx

Cheers and happy mining

There are in fact bored server admins with that many or more CPUs. And one could "easily" rent 800 x 2 Sandy Bridge xeons from amazon, though not cheaply ($100/hour or whereabouts?). So ... yea.

I would in fact do that, but I don't have that much spare change lying around. I suspect though at current difficulty and price you'd about break even or eke out a small profit.

Hi, does anyone know where the the coins get paid out to? I haven't seen anyone specifying an address for it. I'm new to solo mining altcoins

They'll just appear as transactions in the wallet with their own generated address.
