The qt client crashes every time I run it. Anyone else having this problem?
+1
win8 x64, other clients are not running this time
So, did you get it going or is it still a problem?
Thanks for the help, YacLives. I am running Windows 8 64-bit. I guess I'll just deal with the error of "Checkpoint is too old"
You can find a working update for windows 7 here http://yacointalk.com/index.php/topic,294.msg1114.html#msg1114 it was in my op
I am confused... I am running Windows 8, not Windows 7. I am getting that exact problem discussed in the thread. It just crashes unexpectedly with that qt client...
wow my bad i need some sleep i kept thinking it was win 7 haha but for now that checkpoint should not be a problem so running it will be ok because they really didnt change to much in this update
ill put the word out for you in the mean time

YAC is one of my favorite alts next to my #1 which is feathercoin. I like YAC because not to much supply of it.

Would it be worth using the computing power on your smart phone to mine assuming no specialized hardware at that point?
No, that's just a waste of time.This. The computing power of phones is pretty low. Computers are only viable because they have real CPU's; phones are very watered down versions of computers.

you got to look for the qt client daemon is command line only

are you running any other clients at the same time? what os are you using?

I installed that new windows client and ran the daemon exe. It crashes everytime I open it now... I'm worried I just dloaded a virus.

My next question... I have a LTC miner app on my phone that gets around 30 hashes/s which basically gets me nothing. However, would this be feasible down the road with YAC? Would it be worth using the computing power on your smart phone to mine assuming no specialized hardware at that point? These are really more questions on the relationship between computing power and RAM. Thanks again.

So if I understand correctly... GPUs are generally built with less RAM per core compared to CPUs since not a lot of memory storage is required when processing graphics. Thus, CPUs are built with 4-16 gigs of RAM while GPUs don't go beyond a couple megs PER CORE.
GPUs have GDDR on the card that is a special, ultrafast DDR RAM. It's far bigger than caches for CPUs (12Mb vs 1Gb) and their only problem is the memory per core since they have a lot of cores. I belive it is unlikely that there will be enough GDDR on standard graphic cards since this gives no advantage for their usual workload and requires a lot of work.
On the other hand it is just a matter of time when RAM gets so big that the size difference between onCPU memory and RAM make it interresting to add faster GDDRx on mainboards. L3 on CPU chip(MB)
How simple would it be to design/rig a GPU with CPU-sized RAM?
I don't know, but I suppose special YAC hardware will never or only on rare occasions pay off their initial developing costs. Even if you get the RAM on a custom board the GPU still has limitations on transfer speed and such. This could easyly get very messy.If some mainboard producer adds GDDRx on a blade mainboard all your effords would be useless. The performance gain compared to CPUs with GDDR would be reduced to a minimum. Other factors, f.e energy costs would dominate this so hard that money should be spent on these to improve.

Thank you for the input. I think I understand better, but it definitely feels like I have to learn a different language to understand you smart computer-types sometimes.

Thus, CPUs are built with 4-16 gigs of RAM while GPUs don't go beyond a couple megs PER CORE. I guess my next question is... how simple would it be to design/rig a GPU with CPU-sized RAM? Could it be done just by software design? I'm revealing my ignorance, but I would really appreciate more light shined on the hardware/software implications.
The way I see it, YaCoin is the only coin since LiteCoin to offer a true alternative in cryptocurrencies. It seems to actually require different investment in what could be considered the most important aspect of these coins which is the mining. The other coins attempt to gain value by essentially stealing from the investment of btc/ltc as you have to choose which ones to direct your mining operations. With YaCoin, you can mine it while, let's say, still mining LTC on your GPU and not worry that you are diverting your resources, your investment to a less profitable option.
