Topic: [ANN][YDA][POOL][CPU Mining] YadaCoin - 🔵 yadacoin.io LIVE! - page 9. (Read 26619 times)

Hello! Is there a way to limit the mining cores of my CPU?

Hello everybody, I've create a guides and tutorials page for those who are looking for a central place to understand how to get started mining YadaCoins.
Guides and tutorials are here: https://yadacoin.io/guide
There you'll find prerequisites, video demonstrations for both ubuntu and windows, and links for additional help.

If you see anything missing, don't hesitate to give a shout out!

That project is interesting, the ambition is very nice (and not irrealistic!), the main Dev (who's alone for now!) is really efficient, hard working, kind and helpful.

Difficult to mine?

Well, first of all that is not the main purpose of the project, and then... when you have installed biblepay binaries and made it work properly, I can assure you that this Yadacoin is DARN easy to setup !

Especially with the new "one-instruction" setup.

I agree that things need a bit of polish here and there, but remember that this project is in its infancy!

Concerning the "already mined" topic... I agree that this system advantages the "first comers". Well, isn't that the case for most, if not all, blockchain projects? We are still faaaar from block 210000, that will see the reward divided by 2, so it's more than time to join the happy miners

I wish the best to Matt, he deserves to see his vision fulfilled.

And for those who are meeting any difficulties, come on Discord, you'll get the fastest response!

It's still easy to find several blocks per day with a modern CPU.  Probably not for long though.

This is another mischaracterization.
8th Oct 2017 is when I started the repository. You couldn't even mine coins at that point, nor did I even have the protocol remotely finalized. I started mining coins in September 2018. The number of blocks found is likely because the difficulty is too low, which I'm looking into. That address does have 307,241 coins but will not continue to have such a high percentage of total circulating coins because that address hasn't been winning as many blocks since others joined in on mining. I expect that percentage to drop significantly and I hope it does. Someone had to start mining in order to bootstrap the blockchain. We're at 11,713 blocks of 210,000 that will reward 50 YadaCoins, plenty of time to get lots of coins.

Here's the windows installer:
https://github.com/pdxwebdev/yadacoin/releases/tag/v1.3.0
You just need to install mongodb and forward port 8000, then run the installer and follow these steps:
- Do - Do the following three steps in three different 'cmd' windows

So many scams have a polished look and look so perfect, well, this is what an honest project looks like. We're trying to build something awesome and it's not going to happen overnight and would love to have your support!

 A link to the correct version for win10, and how to install it, and configure it, would be a great start.

 I could be wrong with my maths, but total supply="21,000,000", "coins in circulation=585,650". so  21,000,000 / 585,650 = 35.85759412618458, so erm actually 1/36th of all coins already mined.

Also, I thought this was a new coin, therefore was excited to mine something in its infancy, but looking at the GitHub I see that the first wallet was way back 8th Oct 2017, yet this announcement was made on the 14th Sept 2018, that probably explains why we're already at block 11,713.

Also explorer shows address "1iNw3QHVs45woB9TmXL1XWHyKniTJhzC4" with a balance of 307,241 coins out a current total of 585,650, so that address has around 52% of all coins mined.

Clearly someone knows how to set the wallet and miner up....

So like I said, I wish you good fortune, but for me, i'm out !

You're rounding up quite a bit here. But either way, there's still plenty of time to mine coins. No reason not to.

Installing mongodb and port forwarding your router should not be prohibitively complex. I'm working on a uPnP solution that will alleviate the need to port forward but that will take some time.

Ok, so the exceptions taken with mining this coin are port forwarding and mongodb. I'll see what I can do and I appreciate your honest feedback.

Hi, erm, no misconception. I just read this at the top of the ANN


"TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

Token distribution is handled through open competitive mining. Anyone can goto the yadacoin repo, download the code, and run the miner."

Sorry. but it doesn't work....as others have also tried to point out.

Anyway, clearly the project isn't for your average miner, but I still wish you good luck with your project

All I can say is that I'm doing the best I can do. If you believe in the vision then come contribute to the project. I think you have the misconception that I am doing this for the money or that I am running a company that has customers. No. This is a project, it is open source, I am just a volunteer on this project. This project would love additional volunteers from anyone willing. I'm going to keep working on this until my vision is realized.

I second olkah's comments.

I got as far as the windows utube video, and saw the install "MongoDB" and forward port 8000
The days of having to install additional software, open ports etc, are long gone.
I can see you are very excited about this project, but please, slow down, develop it more fully first, and then released a more polished wallet....
Otherwise in the face of all the other coins being released every single day , I think your project will just get lost....way too complex for your average miner

Oh, and you missed out quite an important step with the windows vid....no link to MongoDB, what is it, how do we install it, and why.....can't do anything until that has been explained....sorry

Darn, gets worse, just found Mongodb website, need to be a genius to figure out how to mine this coin...BUT, worse than all that check the explorer.....
1/40th of all the coins are already mined....

You are certainly welcomed and encouraged to port the codebase to C++

we need a normal normal wallet written in C++ and also a source written in C++

Please do explain, I'd be happy to help or fix any issue you may be having. 

No No No No !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does create a wallet for you and it is very simple.

A simple wallet that does not create you ?
or is it very difficult for you ?

Video tutorials now available for Ubuntu and Widnows! I'm happy to answer any questions!

this is impossible because no one knows how to do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Soon!
