Also the OPs command doesn't use -server switch but maunderingcabal includes it. Is the -server switch required to mine with a conf file or can you mine with it this switch and with no conf file? I've been spending a lot of time fiddling with settings and no coin.

According to my testing, you need the -server switch and conf file to mine at all (which doesn't really make sense but oh well).

Not true, I don't have -server or a conf file and have mined 2 blocks in the last 4-5 hours.

That's weird. With just the -gen switch on Windows, I was getting 0 hashes per second, and the CPU usage was only ~6% (it wasn't even trying to mine).

Hardhat Required in This Area

Make sure to make your config file before starting your client, and mining works Cheesy

I just solo-mined my first block of any coin Cool

Don't you also need to provide instruction on creating the yacoin.conf in order for yacoin to work in server mode?

Agreed. If you dont have the conf done right you will get an error at least....

add -genproclimit=-1

I found that right afterwards...did =2 seems higher now.

Just set the number to something high. It's the limit of how many cores the miner can use. Typically there's no reason to limit it at all.

Hmmm....running the Win client, I get the command line started, then see my CPU only go about 33% pegged, so I run the gethash command, and BAM 10k/s

...but..how can I get more than 1/3 of my CPU to get in the game?
