It's really unfortunate that there were/are so many problems with orphans. Sad

I started off trying the Windows client but I was getting only orphans and very few at that. So then I started up Linux in VirtualBox and compiled the Yacoin-qt client and ran it with the following command:

Code:
./yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=6 -addnode=82.211.30.212

I got a surprising number of blocks and had only a ~10% orphan rate. I don't know why the Linux version seemed to work so much better (and in a VM, too!). As for location, I'm in the US. My ping to the 82.211.30.212 node is 120ms.

64-bit compiler.  On 2700K I get 400 KH/s

Been mining for around 9 hours now. 3 accepted blocks and 3 orphaned blocks, so approximately 1 block every 90 minutes.

That comes out to ~450 coins / day assuming nothing changes.  I would say that is perfectly reasonable.

About 18 hours mining.  I have nothing special other than 3550k using built in miner w/ command line I am at about 45 confirmed blocks w/ about 8 stales.  I am surprised I am still finding blocks, just did two in the last 2 hours.

Are you in europe?

No, Southwest USA.

Here, I posted this on the other thread.

*********************************************************

I have had such great luck following directions on the OP, and I mean a whole lotta luck.

Download Windows files from MEGA.

Unzip

Run QT and let it update.

Close QT

Open up CMD prompt and move to the location of the QT executable using cd command.
Use Command for windows give on OP, modify genproclimit for # of threads. Code Below:
yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=1 -addnode=82.211.30.212

Sit back and let it find blocks.

My guess is that you guys have something setup wrong.  Just use the QT file loaded up from CMD prompt and set the numbers of threads right.  Same as the instructions on the first YaCoin Page.
